Paradise in boabab...
From the moment we arrived here and walked to reception. It was like walking into the garden of Eden.. and our minds didn't alter when we left 14 days later.. From checking in to being in our room took less than 10 mins. We asked for twin beds as was here with my daughter and within 20 min they came with another bed. The room was very spacious and has a kettle tea and coffee and a fridge.... There are 3 bars , and a beautiful swimming pool with step to walk in ,which is good as the water is deep there....it has deep end of 8 or 9 ft... The food ...what can I say ...its so so tasty...breakfast has the usual continental and cooked. Lunch and dinner had 4 courses and sooooo tasty, you definitely won't go hungry . I went to the beach most days...its a public beach, which was nice as the kenyan people are so friendly..the Indian ocean was so warm. What I really loved was staff. They were all so lovely and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble for them....they have the balance right between being there if you need something, and leaving you alone when you want to be left alone.... The wifi was really good. Only had a couple of times when it went off for 20 mins or so..... If you want a beautiful hotel. Exceptional staff and the best holiday. Come here.....you won't regret it
Poor English, not for internationals
I called their main number to ask a basic question but the man who answered didn’t speak English at all. Then a woman took over just hung up! Don’t recommend. They should check who is answering their main line!!

Boutique and super friendly
This character filled peaceful resort is beautiful. As ever from me , an honest review.
Hotel - small and pretty much perfect. A little dated perhaps but in my opinion it gives it character. It is not your average all inclusive resort type hotel, more a laid back , friendly oasis of peace which is just what I was looking for following the loss of my husband. If you’re looking for a quiet, restful beautiful location this is the hotel for you.
Rooms - characteristic, round rooms almost resembling a safari lodge. A little dark inside but clean, lots of storage and a good size bed ! Set out in lovely gardens , these little hut style rooms are wonderful. The shower is, well….functional however the shower strength is minimal but gets the job done. The rooms are cleaned daily with refreshed bottled water , a kettle and a fridge and also a safety deposit box.
Food - if you’re used to busy all inclusive resorts then this might be a little different. The food is tasty and fresh with several choices each meal time , when guest numbers are low, they take your lunch to order rather than over cook loads of food buffet style. Food is tasty and hot and I highly recommend a pizza and fries by the pool! Tusker lager is charged at the low cost of 600 shillings but the free local beer is tasty! This is not sub standard, it is just less than you get in large busy resorts, but I certainly didn’t go hungry.
Pool - an oasis. Lovely and clean and kept clean all day too. The pool guy is a grafter and worth popping him a tip at the end if your stay. He is a hard worker !
Staff - super friendly. Good communication and although ‘poly poly’ ( slowly slowly ) at times , they are more than happy to help you with anything. Little shout out to Omar, who can organise your excursions with a big smile and always a happy greeting when he sees you. Thank you Omar ! 😃
All in all a lovely hotel , super friendly and just the most relaxing of time here. Thank you Baobab ❤️

Lovely hotel in beautiful location
Lovely hotel with helpful friendly staff. Ultra laid back. Kept very clean, beautiful location, great rooms, nice pool, and food service was good. If you are looking for a hotel with lots of partying and activities on offer this is probably not the place for you….this is more somewhere to take it easy, probably in between excursions and going on safari. Only slight criticisms, which is no fault of the hotel, is that the beach whilst lovely, could also do with a bit more regular cleaning. Also to get anywhere like shops, cafes, restaurants you need to take a taxi or tuk tuk. But otherwise a great stay and somewhere that I will have fond memories of. Also look out for the cute family of monkeys who come to visit!

Paradise
A beautiful little gem the staff were all so polite Omar went above and beyond to make our stay great it was quiet their were only one other couple so no buffet food we got menu everyday to pick from which happens when it's like this no problem booking a safari we booked a 2 day trip which was fantastic got picked up from our hotel. Would recommend this hotel to anyone but remember this is kenya so don't expect all the trappings of a all inclusive elsewhere
