My husband and I have just returned from two weeks at the Baobab Beach Resort. We had read previous reviews and were looking forward to our stay. But when we got their we were overwhelmed.

Service - This resort is wonderful. First and foremost, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. No one bothers you for a tip and knows that they will only get one if they go above and beyond the call of duty. It doesnt matter if you talk to a cleaner or a head waiter, everyone will greet you with a... More

We have just spent 2 weeks at the Baobab beach resort, all inclusive. Not a bad hotel overall. We had read quite a lot of reviews prior to choosing a hotel and the Baobab came with positive recommendations. Check in at reception was swift and efficient. Staff professional. The hotel grounds were lovely and were kept immaculate. Our room was... More

I choose Boabab as my last stopover both as an educational trip and a long awaited break from work. The reception was very warm and got a room upgrade to Maridadi. The ocean view is superb especially from kole Kole pools. Meals were great and one lunch time, my 1yr 8 months old ate almost 1/4 rosemary chicken because it... More

I visit Mombasa every year and have stayed in different hotels,, experienced it all. I booked this holiday via Thomson, it was a very catchy offer. Lets start with the flight..You had to pay for refreshments in a long haul flight. Ridiculous. The journey to the hotel was a good start until we got there and our rooms weren't ready.... More

The Baobab venue is pretty nice- rooms and grounds are attractive and most of the staff very friendly, suggesting they have been trained well. However, upon closer inspection, this place lacks the culture of a good, well run beach resort or retreat, but rather has more of a cookie-cutter cruise ship type feel (with better design). I would warn anyone... More

The hotel was as good as advertised if not better. We are a family of four with two teenages. We had adjoining rooms which meant we could all be together in one room or seperate for some privacy. The rooms were well equiped and clean. The Karibu restaurant was amazing. A variety of food of a very high standard. The... More

This was our Honeymoon and I have to say this was the best holiday we have ever had, the hotel could not do enough for you, everything was perfect. We came back from our safari and they had upgraded us to a suite with beach, garden and pool views. The food selection in the restaurant was excellent and they catered... More
