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

We have just returned back home from a stay at the renowned Baobab beach resort.. When booking we were looking forward to getting away and relaxing.. Initial impression of the hotel! FANTASTIC.. even though we were a little late.. the Karibu restaurant and the head waiter managed to get us some food. Settling into our rooms we were extremely impressed..... More

Went as a family - with my parents, siblings, spouses and kids (9 adults, an 9-yr old, 12-yr old and two toddlers 22 months) Whenever we travel together, we prefer all inclusive place so that the kids can eat whenever they feel like it. The place is huge, three hotels (Baobab, Kole Kole and Maridadi) run under the same company.... More
