Guest Reviews

• M4189AOgladysm (6/5): Great experience overall — special thanks to Godfrey & the entertainment team - We recently stayed at the resort and overall, we truly had a great experience. From check-in, lunch, entertainment, and the general atmosphere, there were many positives worth mentioning. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Fadhili who gave us a brief orientation about the property before we checked in online and proceeded for lunch. The buffet was good, and overall the property itself is beautiful. The room was honestly very nice and comfortable, but there are a few areas that need attention. The telephone in the room had a constant beeping sound throughout the night unless disconnected, which made it difficult to sleep. We also experienced Wi-Fi issues inside the room during our entire stay. Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly in public areas, but not in the room, forcing us to purchase our own data bundles, which was quite inconvenient. Another small observation was with housekeeping. The room was cleaned properly, but our personal items were frequently rearranged or moved around. Personally, I believe good housekeeping means cleaning and returning guests’ belongings exactly where they were placed, as guests usually arrange things intentionally. Attention to these small details really matters. Now to the highlight of our stay Geoffery from the buffet/restaurant team. Honestly, that gentleman is exceptional. We noticed he wasn’t only attentive to us but to every guest around him. His service was outstanding, professional, warm, and consistent. At some point, we intentionally chose seating areas where we could easily be attended by him because the service experience was simply better. He truly deserves recognition. A big shout-out as well to the entertainment Jambo team. Those guys are putting in serious effort, and it shows. I attended all the shows from morning activities to evening entertainment, and they were amazing every single time. Their energy and dedication really elevated the entire experience. One thing I’d suggest during orientation/check-in is informing guests about the restaurant dress code in advance. That’s important information, especially considering Mombasa’s hot weather where many guests naturally dress casually and lightly. It was also unfortunate that my birthday celebration was missed during our stay. My husband even approached the team asking whether something small could be arranged, even at an extra cost, but we were informed requests must be made two days prior. Since the birthday details were already in the system during check-in, I feel this could have been handled with a little more attention to detail. Small gestures truly make special occasions memorable. As someone who also works in hospitality, I’m sharing this as constructive feedback. Even within an all-inclusive concept, there are still opportunities to upsell experiences within the resort concierge services, excursions, premium drinks, special dining experiences, and activities around the property. Guests appreciate being informed about these options. Another small recommendation would be having someone monitor the buffet stations more closely, especially when plates or cups run out, to ensure smooth service flow. Overall, we genuinely had a blast, and yes, I would definitely come back. Thank you to the entire team, especially Geoffrey and the Jambo team, for making our stay enjoyable.
• Jeejee_Mutiga (10/5): Beautiful Baobab Beach Holiday - Located by Diani Beach, right by the ocean, allowing for great views of the Indian Ocean along the property's long beachfront. The grounds are well-maintained and secure. My room was of a high standard, clean and of sufficient size with all required amenities. The staff were warm and welcoming, from Reception to the main/ KaribuRestaurant. I particularly remember Kayulu who carried my bag to my room. Pleasant fellow, always smiling. It was my first time here. Loved it. I would come back another time for a longer holiday. Ended too soon.
• anthonykD7598HI (8/5): Pahali Pazuri Sana! - Pickup from airport was timely, and the driver very friendly. The resort is very good! Rooms are really good & clean. I liked the generously green large areas overseeing the splendid view of the beach & ocean, where someone can go & relax. The food was on point, and very delicious; guys at the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Despite this there a few areas that need some improvement. The help desk phone/landline had a continuous irritating clicking sound; I had to disconnect the cable so that I can sleep. I realised that the resort did not have ramps that would assist those using a wheelchair. Registration using the online system was not user friendly, although the lady at the reception said that it was still on trial. Wished I was informed earlier (just the same way I was alerted about the monkeys) that the room card could loose memory if it came into contact with my phone; when I could not open the door to my room, I had to go to reception to have it reprogrammed. WiFi was not very stable as one walks around the hotel. All in all, I had a wonderful time and experience at the resort. For sure I will be interested to return for another stay, probably in either a superior or deluxe room; these were not available, because they were under renovation.
• arihon (10/5): Great service plus monkeys - Wycliff gave us great service, although there were a lot of monkeys around. One of them even came close to my mom but their harmless for the most part.
• agiiran (10/5): Beach experience - I enjoyed the beach setting and nice employees. Service was great
• 920isobels (10/5): Paradise - Really lovely stay, all the staff were incredibly kind. Wycliff amd Lucy were very helpful on checkout. Nice atmosphere, lovely pools and great views of Diani. Would come again
• wanjih2026 (10/5): Excellent services..restaurant, room service, beach - It was am amazing experience…Hassan and wcliff were amazing at the reception
• nawala396 (10/5): lovely stay - Had such a lovely stay at Baobab Resort. The views were beautiful, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beach. Definitely a memorable experience!
• Abdiaziz (10/5): It very clean and comfortable stay! - Very clean and comfortable Nothing
• Åkerblom (9/5): Mycket trevligt upplevelse, kommer gärna tillbaka - Ligger fantastisk fint och är rent och snyggt. Trevlig personal som alltid är redo att hjälpa. Trist att en del av anläggningen var stäng. Både hotel resturang och pool. (Byggplats)
• H4594AYowenm (10/5): Thanks Baobab Beach resort - Much appreciated thanks to Benhenry receptionist
• Gobet (9/5): Très belle escapade de 2 jours - Sa grandeur et ses nombreux espaces, la grande variété de plats et la gentillesse du personnel Dommage que des travaux de réfection aient perturbé le calme du paysage
• W3096RRedgarr (10/5): WORTH IT 100% - Just returned from an amazing stay at Baobab Beach Resort & Spa with our group of 12 and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The all-inclusive package was excellent, the food was outstanding, and the hospitality truly made the trip memorable. A special appreciation to Chef James for the incredible meals throughout our stay. The service at the bars was also top tier — Mutegi, Owen, and Reuben were professional, friendly, and always made sure everyone was well taken care of. They genuinely deserve a raise for the excellent service they provide. Highly recommend this resort for group trips, holidays, and anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway in Diani. We will definitely be back!
• Caroline (8/5): -
• amootid2026 (10/5): Splendid relaxing and typical value for money - The food was amazing chef James bigup pon yourself Mutegi, Jackson and Joshua very professional with their work
• Elizaveta (10/5): Прекрасный оазис - Очень хороший отель, номера новые и комфортные., уютные. Персонал прекрасный, все дружелюбные, вежливые и не слишком навязчивые. Еда отличная и выбор тоже большой, бывали и морепродукты, и баранина и даже жареная печёнка. Всегда свежие фрукты и неплохие напитки. Больше всего мне понравилась территория, очень зелено, много животных и птиц. Мартышки забавные, видели даже галаго. Примерно в центре ресорта есть небольшой прудик, там и рыбы, и ткачики вьют гнезда, прилетела серая цапля и видели варана. В мае погода была прекрасная, дожди были короткие, не очень жарко, а океан приятный и теплый. Большое спасибо за гостеприимство! Зазывали на пляже у отеля приставучие. Идеально, если бы отель мог как-то на них повлиять или предоставлять свой сервис по прокату оборудования и морским путешествиям (без такого впаривания).
• mikegD2385JZ (8/5): Good return experience... not so much for the kids, though - Six years since we were last at Baobab, it was good to find some changes, especially the renovated rooms. The staff at the reception and restaurant were very friendly. The Baobab of yore never allowed male guests to go to dinner with shorts so I'd packed me trousers and shirts only to find this had changed, LOL. However, the only downside of the trip was there weren't really any activities for the kids. The kids zone was open and gave the impression but unlike our last stay, there weren't really any activities happening. The night shows at the dome only happened once then the other nights were dance/disco at the bar area. While this is a great activity for adults, we specifically chose Baobab as a family resort and we were hoping the kids could get to enjoy themselves more. We were informed it was low-season so kids activities were limited. That said, it was a good trip generally.
• OnAir68392652364 (10/5): The experience was amazing and I really enjoyed it totally worth the money I paid and I’m planning to come back - The experience was amazing I went there with my friends and I definitely enjoyed the stay there the location was convenient and the beach view was amazing. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful the cool sea breeze and sunrise and sunsets made the resort feel calm and cozy. The size of the Rooms were really big and spacious and the cleanliness of the rooms were top notch, the bed were comfy and relaxing ,it also had a balcony which was great for views. The staff were really friendly and helpful I got lost a couple of times trying to find my room but the staff were there to assist me without any complaints. The noise level was low the place was peaceful and calm. I chose the all inclusive package which was amazing I could enjoy all meals and drinks with just having a tag the price was worth it.
• Roving02581820622 (8/5): Baobab - The hotel is very beautiful, and they have amazing people at the bar who are very friendly and love joking around, which made the experience enjoyable. However, the people at the kitchen/food side were quite rude. They don’t greet guests, and when you ask a question, they tend to ignore you, which was disappointing. On the positive side, I met a guy by the name Sammy who was very joyful. Joshua also picked up my language nicely, which made communication comfortable. Diana and Caro were also exceptional they smile when talking to people, and their customer service is truly top notch. Also Danny, since you are at the front desk, please try to be kinder to guests. You don’t call something “complimentary” when a guest has already paid for the hotel, especially when it was a mistake from your side. It’s always better to own up, apologize professionally, and handle guests with respect because good customer service really matters.
• ruth (8/5): Excellent - Everything
• jamesmA6685LO (10/5): We had a blast - Best services and timely response to customer related issues
• 377charityi (10/5): The ocean view, ambience, - The best beach resort ever in Kenya with top notch customer service. Had a good experience with my friends. We loved the place!!!kudossss
• Adventure35807430878 (10/5): Amazing. - Amazing view. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
• B2681TChenryo (10/5): Baobab trip review - Our visit to Baobab Beach Resort & Spa was truly an amazing experience. The resort offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and breathtaking ocean views. From the warm welcome at reception to the professional and friendly staff throughout the stay, everything was handled exceptionally well. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent with a wide variety of delicious meals, fresh drinks, and great presentation. The resort grounds are well maintained, with stunning gardens, multiple swimming pools, and direct access to the white sandy beach. The entertainment team also made the experience lively and memorable with engaging activities and evening shows. What stood out most was the hospitality and attention to detail from the staff, who ensured every guest felt valued and comfortable. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday, honeymoon, family vacation, or corporate retreat along the Kenyan coast. Definitely a 5-star experience and a place I would gladly visit again.
• khilnad2026 (10/5): Baobab Beach Resort - Lovely and clean place. Food is very good. Thank you to all the staff who have looked after us during our stay. Juma, Lucy and Susan were very welcoming. Thank you again.
• SteveC3203 (10/5): Overall a fantastic holiday - Location was incredible Room was lovely Atmosphere was unbelievable However the food in the all inclusive could do with some improvement as quite limited options
• Stephen (9/5): Great resort poor food - Pools and rooms were amazing All inclusive food selection was poor
• purityn975 (10/5): Baobab Delivered! - Overall a wonderful weekend at Baobab Beach Resort! The rooms were comfortable, clean and well set up, and the food did not disappoint — great variety and consistently good. The amenities were equally impressive and made for a really enjoyable stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. I may not remember every name and face but I'll certainly remember the warmth, from Irene, Geoffrey at the restaurant, to Salim, Reuben and the rest of the team at the bar. The manager Mwinzi was also incredibly helpful in sorting out some hiccups we experienced with our booking agent. Much appreciated! The only minor note would be that check-in took a little longer than expected, but everything after that was smooth and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend Baobab for a Diani getaway and hope to be back!
• edwardn607e (10/5): Less taken road to many,but has to be that was not to be never was - Electric and adorable,family frendly and well ininarated
• Lunan (9/5): Great for holiday especially you don’t want to worry anything but just relaxing - Great location with just by the beachside. The public area was big and well maintained. The food was great and we even luckily bumped into a special Easter feast. The aircon had poor cooling and sounded noisy.
• innocentb521 (8/5): One stop shop - Excellent reception Good variety of food . Though should expand on the meat products. Friendly staffs and good customer service. Clean rooms
• JoanneOnyango (10/5): Holiday Get Away - Just wow! My time at Baobab Beach Resort and Spa in Diani has been nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how spacious and modern the resort is, the rooms are every detail carefully thought out, every corner radiating comfort and style. The pools are a dream, especially the infinity pool that feels like it’s embracing you with endless ocean views. Whether you’re lounging or swimming, it’s pure bliss. The meals, the snack spot, the Swahili breakfast, oooh and the pizza is simply amazing, and yes, it’s part of the all-inclusive package! That little details made my stay even sweeter. Everywhere you look, you can see the effort and artistry poured into making this resort unforgettable. I’ve enjoyed every single moment here, absolutely relaxing, indulging, and soaking in the beauty. This place is more than a getaway; it’s an experience I’ll carry with me. So if you are reading this, make your way because once they're done with all the renovations... It will be a resort on a totally different level. Total shout-out and a big Thank you to Charles the F&B Manager who ensured all guests were enjoying their meals, drinks and stay, Reservations Team Eddah and Ben, the jovial lady who ushered us for meals daily Susan and the guys from the bar areas Sammy, Salim and Muthegi... You guys Rock ⚜️🪄
• katebA1142AX (10/5): Awesome - My room was in a good location having my hubby limping ground was the best. Atmosphere coolest. Rooms great facilities Dinning good,pool oky, the bar excellent, entertainment good Reception good. Our escorting guy to the room Juma was very friendly and caring. He made us feel at home.
• U3034ABjohnm (8/5): Excellent - Good. The rooms atmosphre and the ambience was generally great
• amrita (10/5): Welcoming staff all the waiters. Golden hearts will come back - Very nice and clean Rooms a bit too far from reception
• Slduglas532 (10/5): All inclusive rest - After two weeks of safari, it was a pleasure to stay at this resort for four days. We had a sea facing room, which I recommend. The resort is large, and has several areas to explore, and restaurants to experience. The beach was nice, but not one where you sit under an umbrella, or go swimming in. Nice to walk on. You can take a camel ride on the beach, if you want. I was warned about vendors on the beach, but I did not see any. There was entertainment at night, if you wanted to go. Service, as everywhere in Kenya, was exceptional. Food was the same as every other lodge we stayed in. Okay. Weather in February was just perfect. Downside, if you are traveling west, is the distance. But we knew that ahead of time. Room was perfect, nice balcony. Just watch for the monkeys. They are "wise to you," and are quick thieves. Be sure to close your balcony door.
• sherylw732 (10/5): Best birthday treat - > I visited Baobab Beach Resort & Spa and honestly had the best time. I went with my mum but I’m already planning a December trip for her birthday back with my whole family. > Service was exceptional; staff were so kind and attentive the entire stay. The all-inclusive food was top tier with lots of variety and snacks available all day. > For families, it’s perfect: direct beach access, multiple pools including a kids pool, and the rooms are spacious with balconies. > I recommend Baobab with my eyes closed. Already counting down to December! Staff friendly and I had the best surprise ever for my birthday. Chief Ishmael thanks for the lovely meal since I had special request for lunch and supper. Was able to capture some few names John Mwangi, Solomon, Alice, Ruben, Zuhura and Derrick and the ones i haven't mentioned thank you for making our stay memorable

• 933floras (8/5): kids club activities - what I loved in kids club the most are the activities that kids were doing and the staff I liked the most is Bahati from the kids club..the kids area has a very great improvement.. happy to be here

• Escape20126519365 (10/5): The best anniversary experience - The ambience, the food, the swimming pool, the hospitality, the room, cleanliness on high level, more than value for money, the best atmosphere, in the right location, you can have silent moments and everything was great. I'm planning to come again.
• NDUTA (5/5): -
• emkanja2 (4/5): Worst experience yet at Baobab - Been visiting Baobab for over 15 yrs. Worst experience this time.
• 511arnoldn (8/5): Relaxing holiday - Brilliant service all through… warm hospitality. Warmly received by the ever smiling Benhenry. Omar the chef (for breakfast) was amazingly good. He is a gem.
• mutungaj2026 (10/5): 10/10 - Nice experience. Nice rooms and nice ambience. Hamad was the best customer care person. The foods were the best and classy.
• kemuc2026 (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful experience from start to finish. The resort is clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, making the stay feel truly special. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and stunning surroundings. Highly recommended!
• Angellls1000 (10/5): Brilliant resort(s) including Kole Kole and Maridadi - We had an amazing time at Baobab, Maridadi and KoleKole. Its amazing to be able to use facilities at all the 3 hotels. We had some issues during check in, however, Jane and Lucy sorted out the issues ASAP and we got allocated other rooms. The initial rooms allocated have a drainage going through the front which is a real health hazard as someone can trip in the gap. We have brought this to the attention of the hotel and hopefully something shall be done about this. The 2 rooms we got allocated after the issue was raised were 515 and 516 . The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Kelvin Kimatu was keeping them clean and well maintained on daily basis. The jambo team were absolutely fantastic- great entertainment all around the clock. They worked extremely hard with giving their best performances throughout. The food was fabulous with lots of variety and different cuisines. Chef Jagjit was always making sure all was well on daily basis. We would like to thank all the staff members for making our holiday comfortable and memorable. A special thanks to Lucy , Jane, Kelvin, Jagjit and the Jambo team . Asante sana. x
• WelshSaraH89 (8/5): A fantastic holiday that could be perfect with a few tweaks - We stayed at Baobab Beach Resort & Spa for two weeks to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, and it’s definitely a trip we’ll never forget, especially as we also went on an incredible safari during our stay. For anyone looking for a company, I highly recommend Thianni Tours The Good: The pools were a real highlight. We loved having the option of both lively and quiet areas. Some days we enjoyed the atmosphere and entertainment from the Jambo team at the busier pools, while on other days we relaxed at the adult only pool for a bit more peace and quiet. The food was delicious throughout. We stuck to the buffet as we felt the à la carte options were quite pricey considering we were all inclusive, we didn't realise these were extra until we got there. That said, we didn’t mind that premium alcohol came at an extra cost, we were more than happy with the included cocktails and drinks but again something people may be put off by if they don't know before booking. We’re quite easy going with food and always found something to enjoy, but I can see how it might be a bit limiting for fussier eaters, especially if you’re not keen on curry style dishes. That said, they do make a clear effort to cater for different dietary requirements, with alternative milks, yogurts, and varied dishes available. Most of the staff were incredibly friendly, always greeting you with a warm “Jambo” as you pass. It was lovely to see, although it was disappointing to notice some guests not returning that kindness, I experienced quite a lot of rudeness towards staff from other holiday go-ers but the staff continued to be friendly and professional. A special mention to Robert at breakfast, who was always so cheerful and chatty, he really brightens the mornings. The Jambo team also deserve recognition for how hard they work throughout the day and the fantastic shows they put on in the evenings. We booked a dolphin watching and snorkelling trip to Robinson Island through the company at the hotel, and it was absolutely fantastic. Seeing so many dolphins up close on a morning trip is something we’ll never forget. The gentleman in the round shop (apologies, I can't remember his name) was also great, very friendly and respectful. He let us browse at our own pace without any pressure, simply explaining that buying more items would get us a better discount. Because of this relaxed approach, we ended up buying a few things we genuinely wanted. The Not So Good: The “welcome tour” of the hotel wasn’t a great experience. We missed it on arrival day but were encouraged to attend the next morning as the resort is quite large. However, we had already explored everything ourselves, and the tour didn’t offer any additional insight that we thought it might, that wouldn't be a bad thing but at the end, we felt pressured to tip, like we couldn't leave until we did. We were told “I don’t take signatures, just cash,” and when we said we didn't have cash with us as we came in a rush after a lie in he asked where our room was. My husband had to go back to the room to get money while I awkwardly waited. It felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. Another downside was that my husband was repeatedly mocked by staff when ordering a latte at the main bar. Staff would whisper, shout “latte” in a mocking tone to eachother, look over at him, and laugh to themselves. This happened multiple times and didn’t feel nice at all. The beach itself is absolutely stunning, but the experience is unfortunately affected by the beach sellers. We’ve encountered this in other countries, but here they felt particularly persistent, approaching in groups and continuing to follow us even after we politely said no several times. At times it felt quite intimidating. Lastly, our transfer back to the airport was a bit unsettling. We had a late night pickup (00:30), and the driver informed us we would have a police escort due to safety concerns in certain areas where locals ambush cars carrying tourists. While we understand this isn’t the hotel’s fault, it did make for a slightly uneasy journey and is worth noting for anyone booking through TUI or Kenya Airways. Overall: Despite a few negatives, we had a truly memorable stay and would recommend the hotel to others. With just a few improvements, it could be even better.
• amandaw505 (10/5): 3 nights of heaven - This resort is incredibly clean, staff are friendly and efficient. A lovely way to end our holiday, only wish we could have stayed longer
• A7796WXdebbiew (10/5): DIANI BEACH BLISS - Beautiful location, staff, everyone of them, so welcoming and nothing was a bother. Room was excellent, Shadrack tended our room daily and was very accommodating to our needs, thank you Shadrack. James, what a special man, in such a short space of time, I call him friend, I will keep in touch with him and look forward to visiting again. Caroline, took the time out daily to check in on us, that we were ok and again her genuine passion in her job shone through. Our service was faultless only criticism was food selections not a lot of choice for younger ones.

• Nishma (8/5): -
• Nevena (7/5): Lovely week in the sun - This is the third time we visit the hotel. We loved it the first time and that was the reason we came back twice more. We loved the beach and the swimming pools. There are 5 restaurants in the resort - 3 in the all-inclusive concept and 2 a-la-carte. Food in all of them was good, fresh and nicely presented (we didn't try the a-la-carte). There are snacks through the day - my kids loved the pizza :). Rooms are of decent size and well maintained. There is animation team through the day that try to make your holiday more active - the kids loved that. The resort is lovely, the staff does its best. The first time we were very impressed by our room and the surroundings and expected the same again each time we visited. The second time we had some issues with the rooms and this time around again - i booked two double rooms (we are 2 adults and 2 kids) and contacted the property well in advance to arrange interconnecting rooms ( i know they exist) and i was promised the hotel would arrange that, upon arrival we were told that there are no such rooms available at the moment and i am offered two rooms on different floors. I suggested to downgrade to a single quadruple room in order for the family to be together - that was also not possible. So we ended separated for the time of our stay in two different rooms on different floors which is not really the ideal family holiday situation. Apart from that, the hotel is lovely but I will think twice before i book it again though.
• PPRH (10/5): Diani Beach life at its best - About 10th very successful visit over past 20 years to the Baobab, KoleKole and Maridadi! There is just no better location and set-up on Diani Beach to go with friends or family where there’s something different to do every day, every moment, balanced between peace and activity. Also Baobab is one of the few that maintains its quality and standards year after year. Staff is always as happy and welcoming, and we know several of them already since 2000’s.

• marykM9261TM (10/5): Solo trip to Baobab - I was at Baobab for a solo trip to celebrate my birthday. I wanted some quiet relaxation and Baobab offeref exactly that. The food was great annd gave you a choice from many different restaurants, the all exclusive meant I could get drinks, chips, pizza and snacks through out the day and the many relaxing spots facing the ocean gave me perfect reflective moments. The daily evening entertaiment by the Jambo team is the best. Thank you!
• J2270JIgloriam (10/5): Amazing Experience - We were very happy with the service during our stay at the hotel All staff we interacted with were very friendly and professional The food was amazing,facilities were great and the rooms are also beautiful.💯recommend and we’ll definitely visit again

• Scenic771368 (10/5): Stay - Wou great experience. Worth place to visit.
• 586faitht (10/5): We had a great experience apart from one small gripe - We had an amazing experience at Baobab. The rooms were great and A/C made visiting the hot and humid coast enjoyable. The food was great and everyone serving us constantly went out their way to make sure we are comfortable. John at the reception was especially accommodating and I want to give him a special shoutout for going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Our favourite spot was the artificial beach that allowed us to enjoy the ocean breeze and view under trees and without the constant barrage from hawkers. Our biggest gripe with Baobab is the lack of baby changing spots in men’s washrooms. This is something that created a lot of frustration. All the same our stay was amazing and we would have loved to come back again.
• Choofie (10/5): It Just gets Better - We recently had our 5th visit to the Baobab and it just gets better every time. I feel they have greatly improved on the food since our first visit and there was always a good selection and plenty to eat all served with a lovely smile. We stayed in the Maridadi wing which is quieter and more relaxed but did try all of the restaurants and enjoyed our evening stroll to the bar by the main Karibu restaurant for a pre dinner drink, before a delicious meal and then a short walk to the Porini amphitheatre for the show. Special shout out to the animation team who work so hard and put on a fantastic show, especially the acrobatic show. The grounds are immaculate, the service is great and the wine was far better than we remember previously. You also have to remember this is Africa and things do go wrong sometimes but they are quickly resolved and even when the monkeys stole my wife's bra from the balcony it was retrieved by the monkey patrol team from the rafters above our room! The monkeys are always up to mischief but it adds to the experience, even when they made a daring raid into the restaurant at breakfast and stole some poor lady's omelette from under he nose! Happy days, lovely people hope to return next year for the 6th time.
• I9865DCdanielm (8/5): Visited with family although on business trip. They also enjoyed. It’s a location for both business and pleasure - Good service, and location. Traveled with family small boy but they enjoyed
• hmse2025 (10/5): Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Food and Service - An outstanding experience all around. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the stay feel special from the moment we arrived. The food was exceptional, offering delicious flavours and plenty of variety.

• Kulshym (10/5): I would definitely come back for amazing resort. Food was amazing, staff were so helpful, area is massive and beautiful - Everything was excellent. Room super clean, Food, pool, gym, area, staff. 10 out of 10 You weren’t free to walk on the beach, so we avoided it because everybody wants you to book something or buy something from them. And they don’t leave you alone 🫤
• Johnteoduzl (10/5): Simply Superb - Ambience From the moment you step into the lobby, there is an immediate sense of calm. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between contemporary chic and organic warmth, using soft ambient lighting and indoor greenery to create a space that feels sophisticated yet lived-in. The background soundtrack is subtle, and the open-concept common areas invite you to linger with a book or a cocktail without feeling crowded. ​Rooms The guest rooms are a masterclass in functional minimalism. The soundproofing is exceptional, effectively silencing the buzz outside. Plush bedding, a neutral color palette, and high-end finishes—like the rainfall shower and smart lighting controls—make the space feel like a private retreat. Every detail, from the placement of the USB ports to the quality of the linens, feels intentionally designed for comfort. ​Value While positioned at a premium price point, the hotel delivers a high-value experience through its attention to detail. The complimentary extras, such as the high-quality morning espresso bar and the evening social hour, bridge the gap between "standard stay" and "luxury experience." For those seeking a seamless, high-comfort stay without the stiff formality of traditional luxury hotels, it is well worth the investment. Service At the Kole Kole restaurant , the staff are very professional with a keen eye for detail. Special shout out to Edwince Owidi and Josephine Shadrack who handled us exceptionally well plus the kitchen team. Looking forward to coming back again next year.
• Leigh (10/5): Exceeded all expectations - Amazing staff, amazing food, super clean, amazing location, great entertainment, couldn't fault it.

• ivymO5048SU (10/5): I will definitely be coming back - Everything was lovely! Jane at the reception was such a darling she kept checking that we were fine during our stay, she explained to us about the entire facility (very large facility btw) and what they offer including opening and closing hours. I loved the 3 big swimming pools overlooking the Ocean, the was also a pool party night. I hope the would allow more swimming in the late evenings, e.g. till 10pm. It’s heavenly. The drinks and food were superb too!!!
• Pedro (10/5): -
• TristanD464 (10/5): Fantastic hotel - Amazing and spacious hotel with all amenities and beautiful views!
• Sophie (8/5): Très bien - Très bon hôtel, chambre parfaite et propre, lit confortable et belle salle de bain avec magnifique douche. Les piscine sont magnifiques et il y a toujours de la place. La nourriture est délicieuse dans tous les restaurants. La présence de nombreux animaux est top ! Les boissons en all in ne sont pas de qualité et la bière à la pompe n'est pas bonne. Le bar dans la piscine pourrait être mieux exploité ....
