Lopesan Baobab Resort

Wow... where do I begin? Whatever reviews you may have read, our experience at Lopesan Baobab Resort was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning African-inspired architecture, beautiful gardens, and the relaxed atmosphere. Every corner of the resort is breathtaking, especially at night when the lighting transforms it into something truly magical. The pools are amazing, with plenty of space to relax, and the whole resort is spotlessly clean. The staff were warm, friendly and always willing to help, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The location is perfect too—just a short walk to the Meloneras promenade, beach, shops, restaurants and the lighthouse. Our room was spacious, comfortable and immaculately maintained, and we slept so well every night. For us, this holiday was everything we hoped for and more. It was peaceful, luxurious and the perfect place to unwind and make wonderful memories. Thank you, Lopesan Baobab Resort, for such a fantastic holiday. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway. We can't wait to come back! 🌴☀️🌊💙

My honest review of Lopesan Baobab Resort! More of a family based resort!

After spending a week here with my boyfriend, On arrival this hotel is very much aesthetically pleasing most beautiful hotel. The check in staff were very kind and welcoming.

However, I would like to start with breakfast every morning you will have to que to get seated despite there being multiple tables available you also cant sit where you want you get told where you can sit even though plenty of free tables. I definitely wouldn’t return just because the lack food choices and not the best taste. I also asked for a coffee one morning (9:50am) and the waitress had told me the coffee machine had already closed.

We chose the bed and breakfast option thinking that there would be options for lunch everyday but we only had found one pool bar which actually got our order wrong (human error this happens and is completely normal) and the food was a ham and cheese toastie but the cheese hadn’t even been melted for a luxury resort you would think you have better options for guests who pay as you go. We also got the chicken noodles which was literally just like pot noodle.

The pool situation, Unfortunately here you do have a major issue with sunbed wars.. People will wake up early put a down multiple towels and not return till midday. I would also say that the sun loungers are extremely cramped and your sitting ontop of strangers. One morning I found a quiet spot in a corner and came back 20mins later and a family of 6 had moved my two sun loungers into the shade (at 8:30am) which is fair enough but I didn’t want to sit in the shade and not to mention as the sunbeds are so cramped if someone puts an umbrella up next you to you have to sit under it as no room to move. The pool temperature is great.. If your thinking of sitting round the pools where it has the sand like area.. The pool will be filled with rocks at the bottom and they get extremely hot during the day so not great to walk on as they are more like little stones rather than sand.

Luckily I done some research and found a small quiet pool tucked away at the back of the hotel where space and loungers were not an issue.

I would also say this hotel needs an adult only pool as every pool has children jumping in or splashing which I have no issue with but when your trying to relax on a child free holiday reading a nice book in the sun you will not get that here it is very much a family friendly child resort which i cant complain about as this is fully advertised. But as a young couple this is very much needed.

The rooms are lovely and spacious very clean, The cleaners would mop your bedroom everyday. However, we was on the second floor and would get woken up at around 7am of banging and the people above walking around.. No fault of the hotel but this is what we had experienced. Not to mention the constant banging of doors outside.

The area where the hotel is located is great about 20min walk directly to beach and shops and restaurants, But if your looking for somewhere to grab a quick light lunch we found there wasn’t much options so stuck with the local supermarket l.

I have travelled to 13 countries stayed in family friendly and adult only hotels so this is just my personal / honest review as a 26 year old. I wouldnt return just based on the quality of food and ease of ordering food.
