The baobab beach resort actually consists of three hotels, the baobab, as well as the Maridadi and the coal coal. All the guests can all facilities without restrictions on use. The hotel is not only according to our opinion (the locals say this) by far the best all-inclusive hotel on the whole of the south coast. There is no alternative. Even if the price slightly higher than at the other all-inclusive hotels, well worth the cost in each case. The level is very high. It starts with professional working waitern in the restaurants, continues on the exemplary cleanliness in the ... whole complex to the extremely different recreational facilities. You can within of the hotel the quiet sandy beach of madidadi as well as on the action-pool of the coal coal or simply relax in the tropical lawn at the baobab relax. Especially worth mentioning we find that over 20-strong team, the own amphitheatre the best shows presented has, the globally we in hotels have ever seen. The above average level of such (for us important) things such as for example the bar a drink in glasses. There was no plastic or paper cups. During dinner at the table of his choice run. There were always clean tablecloths hung up on us. The preparation of food will be carried out under strict hygiene standards (this is no one stomach intestine problems). The audience is international: german, italian, british, danish, french, polish and so on. Russians were missing completely. The audience was what the age 50 +. read more

    Our room in baobab was a standard room with the usual amenities: clean, convenient and big enough. However the rooms in the coal coal and also in the Maridadi much more spacious and luxurious (for example with jacuzzi).

  • Gastronomy

    The evaluation of the meals is of course very subjective. Nevertheless we say, that we still in no hotel better than in baobab. The fish was in all variations a delight and also the meat was, no matter from which animal and how prepared, tasty and soft! Pasta and delicious soups are further, recommended alternatives. The for breakfast offered sausage can it with everyone from a german butcher's record. More varied than here the kitchen not be.

    The very friendly staff makes a trained (not angelenrten!) Impression. One noticed, that the employees their job really learned had. Speaks english in Kenya anyway everyone. Many could also speak german. The handling of complaints was exemplary. After the first night we had rückenschmwerzen, since the mattress for our opinion unbearable was hard. We have immediately another very good mattress get.

    The level the entertainment is extremely high, the offerings are plentiful. The evening shows are looking for. If 20 entertainers in the amphitheater to the stage and dance, act or aktobatisches can prove, is hardly more to exceed. The number of of the chairs was so large, that one still am places found. A ride on the glass bottom boat or style in a dugout to the offshore reef (maximum 10 €per person) was a real recommendation, also the massages in the beach huts were great. For 10 €you get a whole hour long a very relaxing 'pet massage' (not medical and no sex).

We were from arrival to departure completely contented. All the staff are friendly and helpful, everywhere always for order and cleanliness one provided. For the all-inclusive holiday makers is possible 3 buffet-style restaurant available. There are several bars, several pools, a fitness studio (not all-inclusive), souvenir shops, 2 bücherecken, a jeweller. Everything your heart desires. While we were there, there were very many germans in the hotel, in the 2. week some Poland in addition. Except for an english couple, which to the amusement of the entire hotel completely was misbehaving, were all tourists were very relaxed and pleasant. Evenings ... there were shows in the amphitheatre, but we made the most evenings with newly acquired friends at the tapatapa -bar and lots of fun had. read more

    We had prior to the safari 2 days long a bungalow superior with a view of the sea (although we had booked only standard, but the room on arrival was still not ready and so one has us the upgrade free of charge). In the bungalow it was a little dark and the closet a bit small, however all in all it was okay and the location in the first row to the sea was perfect. The safari we had a great superior room in the Maridadi-area with 2 queen size beds, sitting area, desk, wardrobe with a safe, air conditioning, ceiling fan, refrigerator, huge balcony, large bathroom with huge shower, bidet and toilet and 2 sinks. Only german television program was ZDF, but it was good.

  • Gastronomy
    6.0

    We found the food delicious and diverse, even kaiserschmarrn or käsespätzle has time, even suckling pig and the like. The gala dinner was even Hummer and oysters. There were always several dishes to choose from, it was always meat and fish grilled and the nudelmann had always efficient to do. A little we missed the kenyan cuisine, the we'd better met. Great ones were also the fresh fruit (the tastiest mangos, which i ate ever) and of course the desserts and the kenyan coffee.

    There are absolutely nothing to complain about. The staff is friendly, they all speak english and some a little german. We have to use of mosquito nets asked, which immediately was taken care of. Also changing money at the front desk is totally uncomplicated, the course in the hotel was excellent and much better, than in the reisebank in Germany. The rooms were cleaned daily, towels on request changed daily. Occasionally we had inheritances of the many monkeys on the balcony, there could have been a little better cleaned, but overall it was ok. Once we the front desk told, that the wifi in the Maridadi-field failed, one for the instruction thanks and immediately measures. Otherwise we had no complaints whatsoever.

    We had our favorite place in the top pool in maridadibereich. Here there are various beach chairs and umbrellas, unfortunately, there were also the annoying towel-reserve and from 8. hours it could happen, that the loungers all 'manned' were. Ultimately it gives however in the entire hotel so a lot of pool chairs, that you always found a shady or sunny place, depending on your preference. The pool in the Maridadi-area was very quiet, without animation. Loudest it was in kolekole area, there were almost continuously music acoustic irradiation and entertainment, also there were the loungers close to each other, it was too rough.

    We had always luck with the ferry, and were in each case in 50 to 60 minutes from Mombasa from in the hotel. The beautiful beach directly in front of the hotel we did not often visited, as the beach boys to was annoying. They try their luck at every opportunity, togetherness was as good as never possible. Also were even jellyfish in the water, what with its nettles unpleasant burns on the skin left. So for a beach and sea lovers would probably a vacation in the dom. Republic convenient. We have a nice spot by the pool searched, the was also great. A taxi you get in in the hotel, the price is negotiation, but in the end acceptable. You can also take a coach of the locals before the hotel stop, we did not make however.

The baobab is the best hotel on Diana beach. It is very spacious, as it from 3 hotels. Even if it was fully booked, the quantity not weight. You can always find a free pool chair and it is pleasantly calm. If you want a little more entertainment, the coal, coal pool. Also the most beautiful (we found). The food is really really delicious and there is wide choice. Something for everyone 100%! We had a room in baobab. It was functional and cleaned daily and with fresh towels mistake. The beach is wonderful even if you at low tide ... not swim, so you can lots of animals see, you probably so not to face would receive. And, yes the boys can nerve. We stayed in 2 where. Failed times alone to 2. the beach alone to go. But without them we would never saw so much and avowedly to get. At this point very greetings andennis and Ali Baba. Dennis we have not forget you a package for you is on its way. Of course is a safari a must! Is fantastic beautifully and unforgettably. The only thing which the only negative was, was our tour guide on site, had at all no desire his job seriously, no information, we had even our plane missed. Horror! Was a nightmare. Therefore here friendly greetings to geli and your husband, we could not more of you adopt, really a shame! But otherwise we can only recommend this hotel, and wish all the the vacation still ahead in baobab much pleasure, it is very romantic. It is also always very nicely set with the food, staff is also always very friendly, only in the bars they were very slow, pools-pools, acutta ma tata read more

We had a standard -bungalow the baobab and were very satisfied. Big bed, seating area, tv, free safe, shower and a seating area on the terrace. More we did not need also, finally, you the room only at night for sleeping. The spaces kole kole and maridadi could without exception be used and so was always a lovely place to relax. The staff are very friendly, always a cheerful jambo on the lips. Our requests for a mosquito net and bungalow-room 1. floor were immediately taken up and taken care of. Great! The 3 main restaurant you can not use ..., we liked the presentation of the caribou the best. The food is varied and tasty, something for everyone. If not, then you should seriously thought about his diet make \u263a the evening entertainment in the amphitheater is super, from mom-Mia, Lion King up to acrobatics shows everything is there. In 2 weeks not once a bit repetitive (this also applies to the theme nights in the restaurants). Already is impressing which together will. The complex is with its many palm trees, pool areas, monkeys and the breathtaking views of the snow-white Diani-beach alone already worth the journey. Small tip still on the edge: the weekly massai -market one can give oneself, price the laughter, a towels with the kenyan flag us for 30 €offered, stayed on 7 €down and even that was actually still too expensive \u263a take a look in the gift shop in the kole kole past, there you will find many beautiful things to suitable prices. A few small drawback there was but nevertheless. The water in the indian ocean was partly very from seaweed infested, so that it beautiful was in the pool to bathe. The beach boys at the beach are especially at the start of the vacation very annoying. So ignore or a friendly hakuna pesa and then turn also slowly. But they are things who the hotel not influence. During our stay had both my girlfriend, as well as i birthday. A small attention, like in other hotels usual, i would have wished there. A couple more words to the guests: the audience was initially very deutschlastig, in the 2. week came many british people, french, east europeans and so on to that. Unfortunately were already times in the morning at 7 o'clock the best squares with towels reserved, although the hotel with its towel cards actually a good possibility created exactly this to prevent. Furthermore there are still idiots, despite the warning and hotelansagen the feeding of monkeys not refrain from. This is not the fun there. Many dont seem to know, that this dangerous disease can. However praise goes to the staff, you have always the monkeys to scare away if you tried to eat \u263a alltogether it was but one great holiday just a pity, that everyone great vacation a end. read more

Very well maintained and large area divided into 3 areas: kole kole (including entertainment), baobab (heart and centre the hotel) and Maridadi area (peacefully located, no animation and the latest in area the entire area). Everyone finds a spot in the sun or shade, even if many tourist's it then but not out early in the morning to reserve chairs. We had in the Maridadi area and these also enjoyed. Honesty and largely written! We had accidentally, when we on safari drove, money in the safe leave; our roomboy has found it, the security notifies and everything was safe! The ... relief was large and here too an extra tip. Large pool area and small hotel-owned beach area, from which you directly at the long white sand beach The beachboys is already a lot written about. They are already pushing but always friendly. It nervt then nevertheless a little and you are afraid in the end then nevertheless more frequently to the beach and into the sea to go. A glass bottom boat trip to the sand bank about a beachboy booked. Beautiful starfish, fish and sea urchins in different colors we could admire. Costs 20 € for 2 people. The evening shows by the entertainers were very professionally done. Alone Lion King was sensational implemented from the costumes to the presentation is the original in almost anything! All staff was very friendly and obliging. Sometimes a bit too clingy, especially towards women, without male escort traveling. A safari is an absolute 'must'! We booked through d. m. Tours (over internet via Germany or in the shopping center Diani Beach in the office). We had about a rating in holidaycheck read and the decision has proved quite correctly. We were 4 in a Jeep and driver and had tsavo west and amboseli booked (3 days). Great lodges, great driver and saw a lot. Is arduous and nothing for rückengeschädigte people, but it is worth it! Kenya is a great country with many contrarieties. Fine, super well-kept and equipped hotels like the baobab beach resort meeting on poverty outside the hotel like for instance in Mombasa. These impressions are hard to put into words. Nonetheless, it seems, that the people here much satisfied and balanced are, than in our country. Even if after contacts after Europa search. Can understand it, if you want to stay on the internet on the unemployment rate in Kenya, population under poverty line 50%! Smart power. The also makes clear, why the people of garments, shoes, shower gels, etc. Very happy. Always with a note provided for whom, as calm things are (gift for. From.). Then there is also no trouble for the staff with the security. We will definitely again after Kenya travel and then a week long safari book. read more

We had five months in advance a superior room in maridadi part and 4 months before the trip the received confirmation. The vouchers was then also ' maridadi superior'. In the hotel arrived and totally exhausted, opened a senior employee, in maridadi is nothing free, but we would excellent room in kole - kole get. The 'excellent' room turned out to be a room, at the same time, bedroom, laundry, shower and toilets(!) Room was. Without any door! The direct view was through short stummelwände somewhat blocked, the noise and smells not able to prevent. It is therefore in the ... baobab resort as superior -quality! On our protests declared the front desk, the to the deputy director to decide. (the director was not there, the leading employee, us this stand sell) The deputy director have lunch, we should in the meantime in the room patient. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon a call came: we can to maridadi move, but they need in 20 minutes to pack, so that the area today still may be resold can. The day was lost, we totally exhausted. From the direction was not a explanation even an apology or even any compensation for this completely brazen fraud attempt. With so much chutzpah we can this store other as the worst possible note give, even if everything else the description 'dream hotel' in the reviews exactly matches. If you have money for expensive room member, but the guest cheap 2 stars -rooms under + be jubilant would, in our opinion, was not a honest host read more

The baobab was for the start and the end of our honeymoon our beach hotel. We stayed in the maridadi -wing. Both the complex, as well as the rooms were really nice. Alltogether it was often a little too much action for our taste, as we are not very keen on entertainment is possible. At the pools were regularly water aerobics, water polo and aerobics with loud music and repeated request of the entertainers. The food has not very impressed, it was a wide selection, but a few dishes were really good. Even the evenings with gala dinner it was ... so wide choice, quality was rather poor. In addition the corresponding ambience even if on correct clothes respected, eat most people at buffets as if there was no tomorrow would be. You can the hotel but certainly not accuse. Our massage in the spa was expensive and bad, the masseurs have during the massage maintained, so that one always the feeling had, it is on a was spoken. The friendliness respectively the service of the staff was, overall very mixed: from very friendly and helpful to ignorant and absolutely rude. Some staff tried very hard, other (for example service at the pool bars) a treated, as if the plague would be. After our intermediate safari trip to the Karen blixen camp, these impressions of course a bit more. read more

Conclusion an all-round successful vacation in a really great hotel. + very good service, everything was clean and very friendly staff/ defects were extremely quickly, even if sometimes not fully resolved + very good check-in and check-out The beach boys are just unpleasant, if you considered \u263a we booked our safari through them and everything worked great! ( to achieve this, you know, there are a total of 120 men at the beach, which however for 4 companies work. Our positive experience that we had with suleman and Banana Joe made. Gladly greetings from Patrick & Sarah) - no atm ... on or in the hotel - food and drinks somewhat limited. Vegetables very good, meat only moderately and not diverse, breakfast rather boringly, cocktails a catastrophe and a lack of choice (only 5 pieces). - although it is very many employees, but their pollopollo (slowly, slow) attitude entails, a german waiter faster than 3 kenyans - no real drawback, but only ZDF in the room - this hotel, according to holiday check as 99 best hotels in the world, this is in our opinion not to. - no bathtub - very bad service Renate from meiers weltreisen General tip: kreditkartenprobleme vending machines, not on the maps leaving. We did not EC- or credit correct. Known problem in Kenya read more

Wonderful for a relaxing beach holiday. White and further beach, attractive grounds, professional evening shows. The handling of the many beach vendors, the with the tourists want to do business is something, which you have to address. Unpleasant it is, if you from the hotel arranged tours (snorkeling tour, bike tour) unexpected pressure to buy-overpriced-souvenirs suffer. Recommendable is the bike tour. It gives a good impression of life of the 'normal' kenyan. Overall we felt comfortable, relaxed and turn with interesting impressions back. read more

The hotel complex is by the merger of 3 hotel facilities very spacious and very nice. The food excellent. The staff mostly friendly, except at the pool bar on ' maridadi'. The annoyances at the beach by locals salesman still very extreme. We were 2011 already in the baobab and noticed already on arrival, that something in the service and friendliness has changed. We were given a bikini from the room stolen. After message at the front desk the bikini in the evening - without comments - in an envelope returned. Then were again and again towels forget. As the ... tips then lack, we were from the room staff addressed 'if we are not satisfied is'. read more

Very nice resort with three hotels. We had booked a standard room at the baobab, this but we did not like and wanted a different rooms have. In the hotel they told us that all rooms are booked. We went for a upgrade and got a superior room. It was perfect large and beautifully designed. Please but in Germany just book than upgrade on site much more expensive. Home costs 16 €more per person, suburb demand equal 20 €per person. Nevertheless everything was great, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Guests at the baobab about 70% german a few italian ... and Poland, in kole kole outweighs rather the italian part, but all super nice. We had all-inclusive, the food was always fresh, varied and delicious. Very good service always Mary and Mary j the very speaks german well. Wifi is there very expensive, i have 2 weeks without the modern stuff and survived! Because i actually always there. But it goes also without ☺ read more

    As mentioned above, the standard room the quality was terrible, was directly on of the lobby at the entrance where constantly the buses arrived. Way too loud, too warm (air conditioning is not really) and rooms are worn. We booked through Jahn Reisen and also the travel guide on the shortcomings informed. Madam Renate karow has very good for suburb used, however, the manager was not cooperative, so that we at home now Jahn Reisen matters. But it didn't matter that becomes already, let us the vacation but hard to mess up! :-) Therefore please book superior, or deluxe then 5-6 stars inside. We then had superior, with tea or coffee, large living room with separate bathroom and toilet, a beautiful massive bed from wood with a view on the pool direct on the sea. Was in the kole kole hotel room 704 on the ground floor.

    Directly at the beach, in 3 km away reaches one a supermarket, however in the evening alone not recommendable! Security! At the beach you need a thick skin, as it many locals there, the things wish to sell, since it is their lebensqulle is. I can recommend the safariverkäufer Jimmy from Jimmy safari ukunda and matheo, where we have a 4 day safari and of 150 €saved per person as if we in the hotel would have booked. Matheo spoke also super german.

We have due to the many positive reviews for baobab beach resort and weren't dissapointed. No matter wether gardener, pool boy, waiter or receptionist - of all a warm jambo, jambo and if more than varied buffet nothing to eat, then i do not know, what the at home royals. The rooms were always perfectly cleaned and were big enough, although we 'only' a standard room had. Who no animation loves, is on maridadi -pool in good hands. Noisy there at kole kole -pool and three, four times at the baobab -pool animation offered. Apart from that the hotel is ... large enough, that one never the feeling has, it would be too crowded. Annoying were only the monkeys, which unfortunately again and again of guests fed, although strictly forbidden. Some simply cannot read! The hotel we can without exception recommend it and would in any case spend another vacation there. If you definitely not wants, must one not from the hotel move, souvenirs shopping or excursions to book. The prices are not much higher than 'outside'. But it would harm, if you don't other as the hotel complex meet. Kenya has so much beautiful to offer! We have over ita safari from Germany from a three day long safari in the tsvavo -east and ambosseli national park and were allowed unforgettable days experience! The beach boys are though sometimes annoying, but if you told them, that you don't want to buy anything, you can also in peace. The guests in baobab came to about 80% from the german-speaking area, in kole kole were mostly italians and maridadi the english. A few were also some guests from the eastern european area, which one unfortunately immediately been recognized has, as you at the buffet behaved (plate brimming, queue jumping and some also very unfriendly to the employees!) But the thank god only exceptions! The people there a joy to make wants, given away old clothes. We have there our t-shirt and flip-flops wasted and the rest of the shower gel, shampoo and so on the people are endlessly happy. Take especially also pens with. And candies for children. The most employees speak really good german. The hotel is very well organized. If you for example early in the morning to a trip are, you have in any case the possibility, already for breakfast. One must only on the day before in the list, which at the front desk is laid out, sign in. Asante sana at all employees in baobab beach resort, the us so a great and equipped hotel with them. read more
