    Not that much, only when long pants are prescribed during dinner, please stick on that and refuse guests who do not complying with rules.

    Service was very very good, the same with all personell which were utmost friendly, helpful and service-oriented.

    This is not suitable for a quiet holiday. Although 1 pool is child free, the rest of the area, especially restaurants were full of tired children and parents unable to placate them.

    On the beach, and plenty of space. Rooms a good size, but we were only in there to sleep.

    The staff refused to put the light on tennis court after 6.30pm so it was very dark, despite being opened until 7pm The shower pressure could be stronger- it can be difficult to wash long hair after pool or sea swim

    The staff is amazing, very friendly and always happy to help. Special shoutout to Lucie The restaurants offer a variety of food with a big buffet The rooms are spacious and the bed comfortable The evening shows are great but sometime they are repetitive with 2 similar shows in 1 week

    In the all inclusive drink menu, for Pina Colada, they put regular milk instead of coconut milk like in Pina Colada from Premium drink menu....sound cheaper saving and lack of respect for customer.

    Breakfast, and lunch are a bit redundant...maybe create a turn over for some meals.

    Limited range of spirits on the full board menu. The beer on tap was not to my expectations and not cold enough.

    The surrounding area and close proximity to the beach and other activities. We opted for full board, which made it easy for a large group to choose the food and drinks on the go.

    I requested allergy friendly food but it was difficult at the buffet to get details about the ingredients. The staff were not prepared and did not understand.

    Been coming to Baobab for many years. The location is perfect. The staff are friendly and the property is beautiful.

    1. There are 3 sections in the hotel, and looks like the first section next to the reception is the earliest built and requires significant renovation. 2. Cleaning was average, requiring improvements. I broke a cup (when monkey jumped yo our balcony), next day after cleaning it was still there. Meaning no one even opened the door to balcony. 3. Water in the tap is a bit salty, you can clearly feel the taste. Most probably it is everything in Mombasa, desalinization is not good. 4. Food is average. Meat was mostly tough. Fruits are not good, looks like October is not a season got fruits snd vegetables. Deserts also average.

    1. Beach is beautiful, but there are some rocks in the water, so need to be careful 2. Pools are very nice 3. Staff is friendly 4. Hotel territory is nice, very green and pleasant to walk. 5. Hotel provides different types of activities, like yoga, zumba, and etc.

    Didn't like that the whole hotel was all inclusive it didn't make us feel special so it limits the experience. But that being said we had a wonderful time regardless.

    The location, rooms, hotel and the staff was amazing.

    The gift shop is lack of choices. Better go outside for souvenirs. Excursion shop was not flexible enough. Have to buy my trip online from another company. The "romantic" dinner" is overpriced. You can get better options just in 8 min drive.

    I like location of the hotel and cleaness of the pools. Attentive and patient staff.

    The property has been maintained to a very high standard matters, cleanliness . This portrays that the kitchen is clean and thus more trust to the food that I ate daily.

    My first holiday as a solo female traveler in Africa. At the beginning I was worried about the security and any possible stalker on the beach. Then the more I spent time with the polite, friendly and protective guard Said by the sea, the more I became confident about beachboys. He taught me how to get passed them without any interaction and I’m grateful for the tip. I also appreciate all the help from other guards Edwin and Michael. Sylvia became my best friend at the hotel. Thanks to her warm welcome at the dining area, I always felt at home and very comfortable during my solo holiday. Mohammad was an excellent and reliable driver. He helped me understand the Kenyan culture with his explanations during our 1 hour drive to the hotel.
