    Unbeatable experience — the people make the place!

    rating05 Jun 2026

    My family truly will not forget Essque Zalu. We stayed for almost five days, and every day was filled with such memorable moments. From Husna and Editha in the spa, to Hilali, Melina, and Ally at the Jetty, to Venny at breakfast, and to Big Mama in our cooking class, every person of the hotel staff made such an effort to make our stay the best it could be. At this point, we would consider them dear friends! The rooms were exquisite, the food was delicious, and the ocean views were outstanding. We loved this hotel so much, and we hope to be back soon!

    rating28 May 2026

    My sister and I loved staying here. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning. The pool is super and the views are stunning. We ate at the Jetty one night which was fun. We had great drinks from the pool bar. The bartenders are good mixologists and djs. The wait staff is friendly. We went to the spa 2 x and had relaxing and soothing massages from Happy and Editha. Very talented women in the spa! The entire staff is friendly. We enjoyed the live music in the evenings too. We loved our rooms when we needed something fixed they did it quickly. I recommend this hotel and wish you a fun vacay! Hakuna Matata!
