The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating. Complaints are immediately sorted out. The staff speaks english and also somewhat german. The room was cleaned thoroughly, daily fresh bedding with beautiful decoration. Daily half hour free massage per person for karolyne was great (friendly greetings to karolyne!)The restaurant- and bar staff were very attentive and friendly. We really liked the food. If sometimes is not the case, as you like, one says the chef or the waiters answer (for example immaturity pineapple). Meat, fish and vegetables everything very tasty and diverse, exactly like the desserts. The breakfast is good, but … read more

The service in the lodge is by far the best, the we on vacations ever experienced. All the staff (from the manager and waiters, cooks to the gardener and housekeeping staff are exceptionally friendly, courteous and always tried, also foreign languages to learn. The massage with Maria greatly improved and recommendable. There were no complaints. If you a doctor needs, with quiet conscience to kilifi to local doctor go (treatment costs very cheap).There is a very nice pool bar, the but unfortunately not more after 18:00 o'clock was open, what a great shame is, as there is the main meeting place … read more

The baobab sea lodge is a small, cute hotel. We were twice the only guests. Over christmas were 12. the staff, all, is simple great, at friendliness and willingness to help. The kitchen is a catastrophe i had a conversation with the chef. In my opinion is the fault of all, with the purchase. From suppenrindfleisch you can not just steaks make. The soups were all good. But the bar does not. For breakfast, no sausage and cheese. We then in the supermarket bought. If nothing is done, are coming soon not any guests more. I hope the management from the … read more
