Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel, which is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, making for a comfortable experience. The dining, especially the seafood, was decent but could use some improvement. The location near the Nyali & city mall shopping center is a strong plus. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, albeit a bit pricey for the dining options.
The resort has some fantastic amenities, including amazing pools and beautiful views of the beach, which made for a lovely stay. The rooms were nice but could have had more facilities, and the service upon arrival was quite frustrating, especially the long wait for a pickup from the airstrip. Overall, we enjoyed the activities and entertainment but found the Wi-Fi access limited, as it was only available at the reception.
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 However, the dining experience could use some improvement as the television in the room was outdated and made it difficult to watch channels.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.
Overall, the hotel had beautiful scenery and plenty of activities to offer, but the experience was marred by cleanliness issues and inconsistent dining quality. The rooms were comfortable and the entertainment was enjoyable, yet the service left much to be desired, especially during check-in.
