SCAM: BEWARE.
The hotel scammed me on payment for accommodation BEWARE! I booked through hotels.com and had an agreement in USD to pay on arrival at hotel. They originally charged in USD but to wrong card. When they put on the new card they charged in KEN shillings. This was a fe more GBP than if they USD but I thought ok as they said it covered the full amount for the accommodation plus $18 for shuttle transfer (same as usd payment made against initial card). On check-out 11 days later I saw they had charged extra for accommodation and asked why? Went back after an hour and said the manager wasn’t available yet. When we had to leave they just told me the manager confirmed it was correct and I had to pay and manager not available again! Spoke to manager via chat after I left and he said they made a mistake on initial payment and used wrong exchange rate - i explained they actually used the wrong exchange rate but have not heard back and has been over a week now. Clearly a SCAM or they would have resolved quickly. Overall this has cost me approx £50 extra through their “mistake”

Excellent hotel and the staff have top quality customer service . Lovely pools, amazing beach views, unlimited drinks and wildlife !
This is literally a place you would see on the TV and say I would love to go there.
There are some huge renovations going on at the hotel and it did not mention this on the booking which normally I would leave a negative feedback for but due to the vast size of the place it will not affect your stay in anyway apart from the late night restaurant which is usuallly opened till 12 being closed.
Also check out the watersports at baobao at the Freetyme water-sports counter, those guys were fantastic and I highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Excellent overall. Had to call staff more than once to get their attention at times but staff were mostly really nice. Facilities are excellent and food quality is the best. Room was listed as having one double bed and one single on hotels.com but actually had two singles

My husband. snd I spent 4 nights at Baobab in February 2024 and had a wonderful experience. our room was comfortable, air conditioned and had a nice view.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. The infinity pool was great and the activities ppl enthusiastic without being annoying. Water aerobics was really fun to watch.
The buffet is great. plenty of selections. However the private dining restaurants were awesome. we had dinner at the sane one twice because the food was top notch.
Great place!
The drive from Mombassa took 2 hours due yo traffic and time of day so be prepared fir that. Going back it took 30 minutes

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

Amazing property

Loved it. But the toileting area i wasn't impressed with, needs to be maintained. There was a scorpion on the toilet area which i had to get rid of.
4.2
Not enough "simple" meal options, e.g. often basic potatoes are spiced up as a lot of other food. No good if you don't like spices and herbs.
Staff were brilliant; helpful, freindly, other than on reception who made no eye contact or "jambo" if you were waiting and certainly didn't come across as happy.

The hotel has snakes which roam the place at night. I got a snake bite and the management don’t care. They abandoned me at the hospital. I paid my own hospital bill. They just don’t care .

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
4.2
Staff is excellent: personable, polite, helpful, engaging. Nicely done! We would have liked to see a small table between lounge chairs under the umbrellas as there was no place to put a drink or other items. Also, would have appreciated waiters to come around occasionally and offer drinks.

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.

The food at other resorts was better than Baobab
4.2
The hotel is a wonderful relaxing place to stay. The restaurant staff and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Sadly the front desk staff were not so helpful, for example, having said we could use a room to shower before leaving, when the time came we were bluntly told it wasn't available. Their general unhelpful attitude left an unpleasant taste at the end of what was otherwise a lovely stay at the hotel.

Beautiful kept grounds and extremely nice staff. The room was very comfy. The buffet was unbelievably delicious and lots of variety. The security guard Micheal was so helpful and nice whenever we needed some advice. Thanks for a great vacation!

Stayed here with the family. Rooms are a little tired but have enough space. Staff were all generally friendly and helpful. Quite a few people got sick during our stay. Staff were reluctant to let us take food back to the rooms while we looked after sick children. They also ran out of some food during the evening buffet. Facilities are ok with a range of pools. Beach is amazing.
4.2
The gardens were so lash and well looked after the beach was fantastic. Loved the cottages and how close to the beach and nature it was.
Bar staff however need to improve on their customer service skills.

Beautiful property. Good food. Great pools.
Adam was our favourite server at the Tapatapa bar.
Annoying locals on the beach. Beach chairs on beach would have been nice but I understand why not.

Amplasare hotelului este buna, la malul oceanului cu zone comerciale aproape si foarte important acum : aproape de DIANI HOSPITAL unde se poate face test covid cu rezultat in 24 de ore.Ne pare insa rau sa spunem ca doar o parte din hotel este deschisa acum, iar in zona hotelului sint prea multi BEACH BOYS insuportabili.

I had to pay for the stay after 10 am
After check out 30 USD/ person but they told the lie for sure because everyone have to check out 10 am , where the 100-1000 people goes weekly after check out who have afternoon flight?
Are they standing outside?
Management said to me they are waiting in the lobby, without food and drinks, it was an other lie because just half hour before an other staff said they can’t monitor if the guest eating something so everyone have to pay even if they are only in the lobby .
My flight was 8.30 pm from Mombasa So i paid for me
And for my son
We not gonna coming back soon , Instead we go to Dubai as last two times , we get comfort and luxury and good food very friendly staff Kenya became greedy , they are lying and the staff nasty
They gave us dirty towels
Good luck Kenya
