Beautiful beach. Great service. All staff helpful and have a big smile. Some wifi issues and power went out a few times but all manageable. Food is good, but not great buffet style.

Everything was amazing, the staffs are really nice and friendly, just they have to do something about the mosquitoes. There were so many!

Wonderful stay!

An amazing hotel with superb access to the beach. Staff is super kind and helpful. It does however attract quite snobbish ppl from all over the world that didn’t seem to understand how I (as a black man) could stay at such a nice property. Didn’t allow it to bother me but it was very noticeable. Just be mindful of this if you are a person of color visiting this property!

Good resort in a good location

Good resort in a very good location. The sun bed "reservation' system is a nightmare. You need to place your towels early in the morning to have a chair and more than half of the beds are not used during the day. Must be changed. The buffet is good (if you like that concept). Saturday night beach barbeque with fish and shellfish highly recommended. Good big rooms (stayed in a deluxe room).
Henrik, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had money stolen from the safe. When we arrived there were dead ants and live spiders in the room. The room wasn’t even cleaned properly fi remove dead insects. Service at the restraints is poor took me 30 mins to get an order of fries!! When we wanted to move out because we felt unsafe property management did not refund us for the nights we did not stay there. This hotel has a high guest rating on Expedia but I would barely give it 2 stars. Nungwi beach outside the property has tons of sea urchin and rocky. You should not walk on it without proper footwear. The drinks at the property are not very good. All in all we spent one day of a 4 day booking and moved out. Best decision we made !!!

Nice resort. Good food. Large rooms with nice showers and plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Security around the property made me feel safe. Beach is nice when the tide is out. Lots of lounge chairs available. Workers all over the property cleaning, raking, trimming the trees/bushes. Very well maintained public spaces.

En general buena. El personal del staf encantador!!! No puedo decir lo mismo del personal de recepción…nos querían cobrar dos veces el check out, no hicieron una llamada para consultar en una tienda disponibilidad de una pantalla, porque mi móvil se quedó totalmente negro y teñía que cambiarla…

A Hotel Experience Like No Other I have travelled to many places and stayed at wonderful, luxurious hotels, but I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a hotel as much as this one. It is truly amazing in so many ways. The Soul of the Hotel – The Staff The best thing about the hotel is the staff—they are the soul of the place and make your stay unforgettable. Everyone is genuinely kind and interested in you, from the gardeners tending to the grounds to the chef, reception staff, and waiters. Their warmth and care are what truly set this resort apart. Specifically, I would like to thank the following staff for taking such wonderful care of us during our stay. All the staff members were incredibly kind, but we interacted the most with Osrida, Christina, Sarah, Odria, Ellen, Lydia, and Anna. They were kind, efficient, and made us feel like part of a family. Their attentiveness and friendliness added so much joy to our time at the resort. Breathtaking Setting and Beautiful Grounds The hotel is situated in a beautiful lagoon in Nungwi, with absolutely breathtaking beaches. A special touch: there’s a bench placed by the hotel for guests to sit and enjoy the staggeringly beautiful sunsets over the beach and pool area. The grounds feel like an oasis unto themselves. I ventured outside and looked at other nearby hotels, but none had the same lush, manicured greenery. It felt like living in a botanical garden, surrounded by birdsong. Truly a paradise.

8/10 Very good

The beach out the front of the property was nice and the hotel itself is large. We stayed for 3 nights in a garden cottage room, the first room we were given had one lamp for lighting and was close to construction, after speaking to management about the less than average room, we were moved to another garden cottage room which was better. The rooms are a little outdated but fine for the time we were there. We paid for the all inclusive package as it was much easier, the food buffet’s had plenty of options and lots of food. Wine selection wasn’t great and no options to choose from different ones which was disappointing if you didn’t want spirits. 2-3 days is enough to spend up in the area. Finally, whilst there are security guards around, we did see a number of locals that sell things on the beach walking around the hotel grounds.

Complejo hotelero con espectaculares jardines muy cuidados. Hemos estado alojados un grupo de 24 personas qué hemos estado 3 noches en otro hotel de esta zona de la misma categoría qué no nos ha gustado nada. Venimos de un fabuloso zafari de 12 días en Tanzania. Nos ha encantado las instalaciones, la amabilidad del personal, piscina, actividades, limpieza de las habitaciones, lo bien cuidado de los fabulosos jardines, la comida de "todo incluido"......

Services could be improved

Our premium room was very nice, clean and fresh, if possible, try to get a room nearby the ocean. The services was actually not so good in the restaurant or at the bar. The cleaningness was not so good eighter and all this is probably due to lack of staff. Otherwise the hotel is located perfect just a couple of meters from the beach.

Location pazzesca sul mare e completa di tutti i servizi. Stanze pulitissime e molto spaziose, cambiavano le lenzuola tutti i giorni! Personale impeccabile. Se devo cercare qualche pecca direi che piccola che il buffet della cena e del pranzo spesso non avevano proposte a me gradite (puro parere personale). Detto questo, se dovessi tornare a Zanzibar sicuramente tornerei al Baobab.

Pros: -Beautiful resort and beach location -Comfortable rooms, safe property with lots of security around -Diverse food options -Friendly staff -lots of activities to participate in Cons: -beach is not private. Many locals will approach you daily to try to sell you things -no hot water in the shower -occasional power outages, but only lasts a few minutes
