The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The Gold Chopsticks restaurant within the resort offers an authentic Chinese setting. I was impressed by the attentive service, and the waitstaff were very helpful with meal recommendations. Although the prices were a bit on the higher side, the quality of food made it worth it. It was a lovely dining experience, and I appreciated that the staff showed patience even as we were the last guests to leave.

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

I stayed in the Kole Kole area which featured beautifully decorated superior rooms. They were clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable stay. After returning from a safari, I appreciated the seamless transition into a new room that matched my expectations perfectly. The views from the rooms are lovely too!

Fantastic Entertainment Options

The entertainment provided in the evenings at the hotel was truly enjoyable. I particularly loved watching 'The Lion King' performance one night. It was well-organized and added a good touch to the evening, bringing guests together to appreciate live entertainment!

Amazing Pool Facilities

The pool area at Baobab is a highlight of the resort. I could tell it was well-maintained as I often witnessed staff checking the water quality. The large, clean pools were perfect for both relaxation and fun activities like water aerobics. I spent a lot of time enjoying the sun by the poolside and indulging in refreshing drinks!

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with spacious and clean rooms that made me feel right at home. The location is a real plus, being near shopping malls and just a short walk to the beach. On the downside, the dining options left something to be desired, and I did encounter a few service hiccups. Overall, though, it's a comfortable spot for a getaway, particularly given its great ambiance and friendly atmosphere.

The resort has some fantastic amenities, including amazing pools and beautiful views of the beach, which made for a lovely stay.

My stay at the Baobab Resort was mostly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff provided warm service, particularly Diana at the reception. However, the dining experience could use some improvement as the television in the room was outdated and made it difficult to watch channels. The location is convenient, being close to shopping malls and the beach, but the television issues were a notable downside.
