What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was impressed by the variety and quality of the food offered at Baobab Beach Resort. From fresh crabs and oysters to succulent lamb and vibrant salads, every meal was a good culinary journey. The themed food nights were particularly enjoyable, especially the traditional mbuzi choma, which left me wanting more! Even though the three restaurants served similar themes, the high-quality presentation and taste made every experience unique. I never encountered any stomach issues, which speaks volumes about their food safety practices.

Tranquility by the Pool

One of the highlights of my vacation was the time I spent at the three beautiful pools, especially the one in the Maridadi wing. Each pool had its own charm, catering to different moods from lively to serene. The therapeutic waterfall at the pool provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation while surrounded by palm trees. Being able to enjoy the cool sea breeze made the experience even more enjoyable.

Fun for the Kids

As a parent, I truly appreciated the children's amenities at Baobab Beach Resort. The kids' club offered a range of activities that kept my children entertained throughout our stay. From games in the pool to creative sandcastle building, they couldn't get enough! The evening entertainment, including a kids' disco, made for lasting memories and provided us some quality downtime. The friendly staff were always engaging, ensuring my children had a fantastic time.

Comfortable and Spacious Rooms

My accommodation at Baobab was truly a comfortable retreat. I stayed in a spacious room that had all the amenities I needed, including a lovely balcony where I could enjoy my morning coffee with a view. The decor was modern yet had a nice local touch, making it a pleasant space to relax after a day of exploring. The large, clean bathroom added to the overall comfort of the stay, ensuring I felt refreshed after each use.

My stay at Baobab was absolutely fantastic! The highlight was definitely the warm and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make our family feel at home. The food was consistently delicious, from breakfast to dinner. However, I wish there were bottle openers in the room for the water bottles, and the windows could use netting to keep the monkeys out. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with plenty of activities and entertainment for everyone.

We had a truly wonderful experience at the resort! The all-inclusive package is definitely worth it given the fantastic variety of food options available at the multiple restaurants. The pools were clean and well-kept, and the entertainment provided every evening made our stay even more enjoyable. However, while most staff were friendly, our interaction with one receptionist left a negative impression, which overshadowed an otherwise great holiday.
