Essque Zalu Zanzibar

Essque Zalu Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Magnifique hôtel, très propre, le staff est d’une extrême gentillesse. Point négatif est la nourriture, trop international, service long et ce n’est pas très bon. Il faut aussi noter que si on veut aller à la plage , il faut payer . Et le restaurant de la plage n’est pas bon du tout . Mais en dehors de ça c’était un super hôtel."

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful with access to a stunning beach and views. Sunbeds were enough.The rooms were more than comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was varied, plentiful and delicious. The pools were awesome, all four being a standard 1.2m deep. The activities and entertainment was fun and exciting. Wifi was great! There is something for everyone. Superb hotel for adults and kids alike. Access to a 24hr lobby bar, beach bar and 3 themed restaurants with delicious food (booking via Riu app). Nothing to fault. Taking home a memorable stay at Riu Jambo."

Malika Nungwi Hotel

Malika Nungwi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"At this price point, this hotel is a 10/10. It is in walking distance to local bars and restaurants. Nungwi Beach is about a 10 to 15 minute walk. The walk is not bad at all. You can opt to get a Boda Boda or Tuk Tuk ride to the beach, which cost about $1. And finally, the staff are exceptional. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the breakfast because I never eat breakfast."
