Everything about this hotel is lovely. I won.t repeat what others have said because it's all very acurate. We were in the Baobab section in one of the garden bungalows and it was really nice. We had a king size 4 poster bed and plenty of space for everything. It was kept immaculatly clean as was the rest of the... More

What a beautiful hotel, with such friendly, welcoming staff. My only regret is that we didn't book it for the full two weeks (upgraded here from the Diani Sea Resort) Special mention goes to Brian, Sous Chef and his brigade of skilful, friendly chefs - the food was amazing. The three tier, double infinity pool with swim up bar was... More

We went to this hotel for our honeymoon in December 2011 for two weeks. We stayed in the Kole Kole suite which has a jacquzi. The jacquzi was nice but took ages to fill. One night we had no hot water but this got sorted out for us and didn't happen again. Food was excellent. There were plenty of restaurants... More

Our third time in Kenya. The travelling time was around 1 hour, 40 minutes from the airport, but well worth it. It took around 2 hours on arrival to get through customs, which at the time was horrendous in a hot, humid airport with no air conditioning but it was soon forgotten. The hotel was fantastic with 3 different areas.... More

All i can say is this place was amazing, the staff are beyond... More

We have just spent 2 very relaxing weeks at the Baobab in the Kole Kole wing. The view from our rooms across the infinity pool to the Indian ocean was probably the best sea views we have ever experienced and the double sun bed on the balcony was lovely to lay out on early in the morning. Food at the... More
