Depending on your standards and what star rating your used to this hotel is far from the rating it has been given . The food is very low quality and always cold. The bins are really emptied around the grounds , the beach is overrun by lucky lucky men and beggars preventing people from using it . The hotel complex... More

On the recommendation of family members we... More

Service: friendly and helpful Atmosphere: relaxed, large area over 3 hotels, well maintained and beautiful pools Rooms: clean, spacious, nice balconies with big sun lounge Food: good variety but not special, average quality Being all inclusive is a bonus but overrated Overall worth a visit

After hearing rave reviews about this place I was really excited to visit this place but I just do not see the fuss. Staff were not very friendly,food was poor (I'm vegetarian), and the "sea facing " (not sea view as i was repeatedly told) rooms that I paid extra for was simply a gimmick as I could hardly see...

I will write about the hotel itself later as the hotel is wonderful but and it is a BIG BUT!! The beach, as white as the sand is, as blue as the sea is, is almost deserted, why? because of the dodgy, VERY INTIMIDATING beach boys. I am here right now - its my third day here, on my first... More

The Baobab Resort is a fantasic complex with lots of things to do. It has great food, friendly, welcoming staff, very clean with friendy monkeys and baboons for the entertainment. Would highly reccommend it to couples, singles or families for long or short stays. The longer the better.

One of the finest all inclusive resorts i have visited. Hotel is very huge with 3 separate hotel wings. Very well landscaped gardens & pools (with one of them an infinity pool) Food & cocktails were a delight. Rooms were excellent & staff were friendly. We wanted to leave at 12noon instead of 10am which they said would attract a... More

We traveled with our two small children and my mom to this fabulous piece of heaven in December for 15 nights and it was pure bliss! The kids club and their entertainers carol, laureen and habiba could not have done more to keep our 8 year fully entertained. My mom enjoyed her daily water aerobics led by the very dynamic... More

I've heard good things about this place but cant even get any rates from them! I inquired through their website a week ago, and still haven't received a response. When I called the hotel today to ask about rates, I got a rude bookings manager who wasn't even willing to give me rates, and insisted that he can't confirm inter-connecting... More
