My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. The food was good but a bit repetitive. Most of the staff was very kind. The property was beautifully maintained and the same goes with the pools. The evening entertainment was fantastic 👌! The monkeys will steal everything that they want though if you aren't very careful.

Nice resort in a beauty location
The resort is beautiful and the setting is fantastic. The beach is beautiful as are the various pool areas. The room was good, clean and comfortable. The food was just ok, what you would expect at a buffet. The service was ok overall. Great in the restaurants and other staff but the front desk service was lacking, they weren’t very friendly or helpful, giving out some conflicting information. Overall though I recommend the resort, it was a very nice relaxing stay.

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.

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.

Beautiful all inclusive resort on Diani Beach, about an hour drive from Mombasa International Airport. I had the sea facing Deluxe Room which was absolutely beautiful and spacious. A shuttle is available for a fee to pick you up or drop off at airport. Days have low tide so you can walk on the beach. Resort has Pullman Tours office that can book off base excursions as well as book a snorkeling trip to the sand bar during low tide. I recommend the Mombasa city tour as they take you to the Akamba Market that has 2500 wood carving artists that sell their crafts at excellent prices and most of the money goes directly to the artist. Meals include buffets with food and desserts from around the world. Egg stations available in the morning for scrambles/omelettes and pasta stations at lunch/dinner as well as many other foods. Gym available for a daily fee. Recommend getting a massage at the Spa! Rooms are seaside so you hear ocean roar while receiving an amazing massage. Resort offers several pools- one of which is an adults only. Overall amazing stay. Would stay again- highly recommend!

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

I had a fantastic stay at Baobab Beach Resort & Spa. The location on Diani Beach is stunning, with white sand and clear water. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the all-inclusive food and drinks were excellent. The pools were clean, the rooms comfortable, and the whole atmosphere was relaxing. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great beach holiday in Kenya.

This was our third visit to The Baobab, and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. The only drawback for us is that the dining choices were very heavy on Indian and local cuisine with not many other options. Still, we were always able to find something we liked and would definitely plan to visit again.
