10/10 Excellent

I had a fantastic stay at Baobab Beach Resort & Spa. The location on Diani Beach is stunning, with white sand and clear water. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the all-inclusive food and drinks were excellent. The pools were clean, the rooms comfortable, and the whole atmosphere was relaxing. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great beach holiday in Kenya.

8/10 Good

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. The food was good but a bit repetitive. Most of the staff was very kind. The property was beautifully maintained and the same goes with the pools. The evening entertainment was fantastic 👌! The monkeys will steal everything that they want though if you aren't very careful.

Fantastic place if you take luxury and need for relaxation seriously
Amos, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our third visit to The Baobab, and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. The only drawback for us is that the dining choices were very heavy on Indian and local cuisine with not many other options. Still, we were always able to find something we liked and would definitely plan to visit again.

4/10 Poor

They have a silly policy about pool towels and a token they provide without briefing you about it. Then try and bill you extra upon check-out. This ruined my otherwise okay experience. Would not recommend as there are better options along the same road.
Jacob, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It wasn’t all inclusive as the post when I checked out the wanted me to pay to keep using the facilities which never happened to me before on a all inclusive hotel before

Nice resort in a beauty location

The resort is beautiful and the setting is fantastic. The beach is beautiful as are the various pool areas. The room was good, clean and comfortable. The food was just ok, what you would expect at a buffet. The service was ok overall. Great in the restaurants and other staff but the front desk service was lacking, they weren’t very friendly or helpful, giving out some conflicting information. Overall though I recommend the resort, it was a very nice relaxing stay.
Ross, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful all inclusive resort on Diani Beach, about an hour drive from Mombasa International Airport. I had the sea facing Deluxe Room which was absolutely beautiful and spacious. A shuttle is available for a fee to pick you up or drop off at airport. Days have low tide so you can walk on the beach. Resort has Pullman Tours office that can book off base excursions as well as book a snorkeling trip to the sand bar during low tide. I recommend the Mombasa city tour as they take you to the Akamba Market that has 2500 wood carving artists that sell their crafts at excellent prices and most of the money goes directly to the artist. Meals include buffets with food and desserts from around the world. Egg stations available in the morning for scrambles/omelettes and pasta stations at lunch/dinner as well as many other foods. Gym available for a daily fee. Recommend getting a massage at the Spa! Rooms are seaside so you hear ocean roar while receiving an amazing massage. Resort offers several pools- one of which is an adults only. Overall amazing stay. Would stay again- highly recommend!

Mark, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Please do not waste your time at this property. The manager Patrick is nasty and doesn't care about travelers only about money. Charles is another manager that doesn't care about guests. I flew into the wrong airport and learned that this resort was 8 hours away. I spoke to the manager several times prior to this trip and he never mentioned this. I explained my situation to him, he said he would try to help me and ny husband on a partial refund but lied. After several attempts Patrick and Charles refused to help us by refunding some of our money. We had no where to go and we were stuck in another country with a room. The property refused to refund some of our money. The property does seem beautiful, but things to happen. The Management team showed no empathy or compassion. They don't care about guests there, they are all about the money. They are liars and will charge an additional fee for everything. Please pick another resort that really cares about the guests well being. Please pass on this resort, you will thank me later.

Amazing stay at Baobab! The staff is exceptional, always smiling and willing to help, the dining options are great and the beautiful garden territory and activities always keep you busy and make enjoy your stay even more ! The beach is very nice too and location close to everything you need in Diani !
Yulia, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved the space around the property and the fact that you could find peace and quiet in any number of locations whether that was lounging by a pool, close to the beach or sitting in the shade sipping a lovely local cocktail

Bob, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our third stay at Boabab and it won’t be our last. It’s at the far end of Diani but still accessible to the local shops with a tuk tuk. Staff are excellent, the food good and overall a beautiful place to be.

Super holiday made by the friendlyefficient staff

Super service from all staff. Some confusion about what we were allowed after check out but this was eventually clarified to our satisfaction
Peter, 8-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel but pricy

Overall good hotel, but the all-inclusive package is not full. You can not choose some drinks as they are only provided as "premium drinks". Ice-cream is not included and cost extra. Staff is very eager to promote the á-la carte restaurants where you need to pay extra. One very bad thing is that the hotel allows beachboys to sell stuff and tours at the hotel premises, so you are not left alone. That really lowers the review. The price is high in the area and therefore I would expect a higher standard.
