Amazing Buffet Variety

During my stay, I was impressed by the dining options available at the resort. The food was always beautifully presented, with a massive variety of salads, meats, vegetarian options, and desserts. I particularly enjoyed the themed nights which added excitement to the dining experience. The quality was consistently good, and I never felt the need to go elsewhere. I also appreciated the attentive service at the Maridadi restaurant, where the staff always greeted us with genuine warmth.

Excellent Spa Services

I had the pleasure of visiting the Afya Bora Spa during my stay, and it was fantastic! The pricing was competitive compared to other spas in the area, and I indulged in a couples aromatic massage that was wonderfully relaxing. The staff were professional and made sure to provide a serene environment for relaxation. I also enjoyed the peaceful ambiance of the spa, making it the perfect getaway within the resort.

Fun Activities for Kids

My kids had an absolute blast thanks to the fantastic children's amenities at the resort! The Jambo team's activities included volleyball, water polo, and even a kids' disco, which kept them entertained throughout our stay. The animation team was energetic and engaging, ensuring that the children were always involved in something fun, making our family vacation truly nice.

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

Our room was spacious and kept clean daily, which was a significant plus for us. We had a good sea view from our balcony, and the amenities provided made our stay very comfortable. Although the decor might not have been brand new, everything was perfectly acceptable and provided a good place to relax after a day of activities. The daily replenishment of bottled water was also much appreciated!

I had a wonderful stay at the resort where the staff was incredibly helpful, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The rooms were clean and offered a comfortable experience, but the dining options could use more variety, especially for an all-inclusive resort. The location was stunning, with beautiful ocean views, making it a great place to relax. Overall, my experience was fantastic despite a few minor drawbacks regarding food variety.

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.
