Baobab Beach Resort & Spa

Everything was great with this hotel, from the view to the service. The beach is very beautiful and clean. There are quite a few of beach boys on the beach waiting to sell things to you. However if you tell them politely you’re not interested, they’ll leave you alone. It’s very close to Ukunda airport, only 10min drive. One major thing this resort needs to improve is the foods. The foods are no where close to a 5 star resort standard. They’re normal than normal. Limited varieties. This was the most disappointing part. However because of the superb view and services, I was able to enjoy the trip! Will definitely go back and hope the foods are good by then.

房間非常棒，自助餐也很好吃，推門見海， 躺在屋外的沙發上就可以給猴子餵食，每天醒來就到海邊走走，趕趕海，非常愉悦，下次還會再來！

很喜歡，環境非常美，還想去

An amazing hotel with lovely pools and garden areas. The staff were ALL attentive and welcoming from the reception to the groundsmen, everyone welcomed us with a Jambo! The food was delicious and a good variety. Pizza by the pool was amazing although you have to watch out for the monkeys who can smell it a mile off! We had two stolen!!!!! Lots of activities available if you feel like being active!! The only downsides were The rooms had beautiful Comfortable beds but the toilet and shower area could do with an upgrade! The beach isnt for sitting and swimming… Walking on the beach is spoilt because the hawkers WILL NOT leave you alone. We tried walking along the beach a few times but gave up each time! On our last day we decided to walk along to the left of the beach and just try and ignore them BUT gave up because they tried to talk to us and sell us things all the way along and back!!!!!! Wouldn’t take no for an answer which was frustrating! The only other downside is no option to walk outside the resort in the evening! We were told it was too dangerous and there really is t much to see ! HOWEVER…. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Baobab to anyone. We had an idyllic relaxing week there after our safari!

The food is amazing. I love the staff they are always on hand . You can’t feel lost. Their lovely smiles and welcoming “Jambo” warms my heart. A shout out to Joyce. The swimming pools and bar AWESOME. Can’t wait till the renovations are finished. Yvonne

Baobab Beach Resort is an exemplary resort, as it has shown its main focus on family vacations and a well-maintained environment for both children and adults. From how you are received at the reception to when you are taken to the rooms, the services at all the restaurants and even the rooms' maintenance are all outstanding. What stood out for me is that when you request to have a conversation with the managers or even the GM, they all answer your call very quickly and are most interested in conversing with their guests. Not to forget, their food is fantastic and has a huge variety of meals one may choose from. Baobab was not just a vacation; it was a second home far away from home. I would 100% recommend Baobab to friends and family. To all staff, thank you, and as for Jeff, keep up the good work, and thanks for your words of advice.

We are Marco & Linda and have just returned from a 3 week holiday at the Baobab Beach resort in Diani beach Kenya. What a fantastic experience that was. We had a room in the Kole Kole part of the resort, where we had a view of the beautiful courtyard gardens where we had a lot of company from the Colobus monkey family, very nice and playful curious, but also certainly naughty monkeys. It had a nice spacious, very clean room, which was cleaned every day. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always up for a chat, not because they have to, but because the people are genuinely friendly and have a good laugh. From the cleaners to the gardeners, everyone says hello and makes sure you have a good time. Even though the resort was under renovation and not all restaurants and bars were available, it did not hinder our enjoyment. The staff makes it a party for the full 100%. Be sure to have a drink at the Suli Suli bar at the infinity pool and meet bartender Lawrence, in our opinion the bartender of the year and the smileiest and friendliest man we have encountered. He certainly brought something extra to our holiday. You will recognize him by his infectious laugh. Thank you Lawrence for your extra good service, genuine interest and pleasant chats and certainly the good drinks. Don't be put off by the beach boys on the beach, they are already waiting for you when you go onto the beach. They also try to make some money, but if you say clearly and politely that you want to be left alone, they will certainly do that. So just go for a walk on the beach, it's definitely worth it. We recommend everyone to come to Baobab Beach resort in Diani Beach Kenya for the ultimate relaxing holiday, the food is delicious, the drinks taste good and also check out the shows of the Jambo animation team, they put on a great show every evening. in the amphitheater, or throw a fun pool party. They also deserve a compliment. We also booked a safari in between, and did this through Oranje Safari. They offer many ranges of safaris. Therefore, do not book a safari from your own country or through your tour operator, but look locally, so you also help the local people. For example, you can book Baobab directly at the park via Pollmans Safari or take a look at Oranje Safari. The owner of Oranje Safari is a Kenyan man who speaks Dutch, because he studied there, which was very pleasant for us with communication, and he personally comes to meet his customers before the safari. We will definitely come back to Baobab Beach resort in Diani beach Kenya. Despite the intensive journey you make via Nairobi and Mombasa, via the Ferry to Diani, it is certainly worth it. A new access road will also open from July 2024, making the Ferry no longer necessary. But don't be put off by the travel distance. A direct domestic flight from Nairobi to Diani beach with Jambo jet is also an option. Hakuna Matata!
