Nice resort in a beauty location

The resort is beautiful and the setting is fantastic. The beach is beautiful as are the various pool areas. The room was good, clean and comfortable. The food was just ok, what you would expect at a buffet. The service was ok overall. Great in the restaurants and other staff but the front desk service was lacking, they weren’t very friendly or helpful, giving out some conflicting information. Overall though I recommend the resort, it was a very nice relaxing stay.

Amazing stay at Baobab! The staff is exceptional, always smiling and willing to help, the dining options are great and the beautiful garden territory and activities always keep you busy and make enjoy your stay even more ! The beach is very nice too and location close to everything you need in Diani !

Nice hotel but pricy

Overall good hotel, but the all-inclusive package is not full. You can not choose some drinks as they are only provided as "premium drinks". Ice-cream is not included and cost extra. Staff is very eager to promote the á-la carte restaurants where you need to pay extra. One very bad thing is that the hotel allows beachboys to sell stuff and tours at the hotel premises, so you are not left alone. That really lowers the review. The price is high in the area and therefore I would expect a higher standard.
Joakim, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the space around the property and the fact that you could find peace and quiet in any number of locations whether that was lounging by a pool, close to the beach or sitting in the shade sipping a lovely local cocktail

This was our third stay at Boabab and it won’t be our last. It’s at the far end of Diani but still accessible to the local shops with a tuk tuk. Staff are excellent, the food good and overall a beautiful place to be.

Excellent overall. Had to call staff more than once to get their attention at times but staff were mostly really nice. Facilities are excellent and food quality is the best. Room was listed as having one double bed and one single on hotels.com but actually had two singles
4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel and the staff have top quality customer service . Lovely pools, amazing beach views, unlimited drinks and wildlife ! This is literally a place you would see on the TV and say I would love to go there. There are some huge renovations going on at the hotel and it did not mention this on the booking which normally I would leave a negative feedback for but due to the vast size of the place it will not affect your stay in anyway apart from the late night restaurant which is usuallly opened till 12 being closed. Also check out the watersports at baobao at the Freetyme water-sports counter, those guys were fantastic and I highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Loved it. But the toileting area i wasn't impressed with, needs to be maintained. There was a scorpion on the toilet area which i had to get rid of.
Salma, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff is excellent: personable, polite, helpful, engaging. Nicely done! We would have liked to see a small table between lounge chairs under the umbrellas as there was no place to put a drink or other items. Also, would have appreciated waiters to come around occasionally and offer drinks.
Kathryn, 3-night trip

Baobab

The hotel is a wonderful relaxing place to stay. The restaurant staff and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Sadly the front desk staff were not so helpful, for example, having said we could use a room to shower before leaving, when the time came we were bluntly told it wasn't available. Their general unhelpful attitude left an unpleasant taste at the end of what was otherwise a lovely stay at the hotel.
Peter, 13-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed here with the family. Rooms are a little tired but have enough space. Staff were all generally friendly and helpful. Quite a few people got sick during our stay. Staff were reluctant to let us take food back to the rooms while we looked after sick children. They also ran out of some food during the evening buffet. Facilities are ok with a range of pools. Beach is amazing.
Ashvin, 2-night trip

The hotel has snakes which roam the place at night. I got a snake bite and the management don’t care. They abandoned me at the hospital. I paid my own hospital bill. They just don’t care .

2/10 Poor

SCAM: BEWARE: Ripped me off on accommodation cost

SCAM: BEWARE. The hotel scammed me on payment for accommodation BEWARE! I booked through hotels.com and had an agreement in USD to pay on arrival at hotel. They originally charged in USD but to wrong card. When they put on the new card they charged in KEN shillings. This was a fe more GBP than if they USD but I thought ok as they said it covered the full amount for the accommodation plus $18 for shuttle transfer (same as usd payment made against initial card). On check-out 11 days later I saw they had charged extra for accommodation and asked why? Went back after an hour and said the manager wasn’t available yet. When we had to leave they just told me the manager confirmed it was correct and I had to pay and manager not available again! Spoke to manager via chat after I left and he said they made a mistake on initial payment and used wrong exchange rate - i explained they actually used the wrong exchange rate but have not heard back and has been over a week now. Clearly a SCAM or they would have resolved quickly. Overall this has cost me approx £50 extra through their “mistake”

Ett utmärkt hotell med alla bekvämligheter du kan önska. Men personalen var inte lika gästvänlig som på de övriga hotell under vår Kenya vistelse. Det genuina försvann tillsammans med storleken på hotellet.
