Cool freeze and fresh air. It's a good place to relax after along week of stressful job. The proximity to the beach ⛱️ is an additional advantage of being in this place. The rooms are somehow old style but very quiet. Staff are friendly and well trained for the service.

We had a wonderful stay at Baobab Sea Lodge. The staff went above and beyond with their service. The manager, David, was always available and ready to help and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our week long stay. He is a true gem. Our dinners (a la carte) were cooked to perfection and amazing! Chef Rana deserves 5stars! His fish dishes and chops were outstanding, as were his other delicious meals.

The Baobab Sea Lodge is a very beautiful, luxury and friendly hotel. Outstanding personal. Very private and relaxed nice place to switch off. Very high security and feel-good atmosphere. The breakfast and dinner is very fresh & tasty. I don't need a bigger selection. A special compliment to the manager, who takes care of the guests and the property in a very friendly and forward-looking manner. We will definetly come back!

We visited the property before booking and were shown around, after which we decided on and booked a deluxe room with pool view. However, when we showed up for check in, we were taken to a another (lower category) room - without any information from the staff. We asked the staff member if this really was a deluxe room, which he insisted on it being. Turns out he lied. After we contacted the reception, we were informed that the room category we had booked was fully booked. We insisted on being compensated, so they offered a room at another hotel, a couple of km up along the beach, which we declined. Instead we suggested we’d at least be compensated with complimentary massages, which they eventually agreed to. The pool area is nice and the staff there were really attentive. The masseuses are also great! However, the sound proofing in the premier rooms (which is the one we ended up getting) is non existent. If you’re on the lower floor, you’ll be able to hear every sigh, every bathroom visit…you name it…from the guests upstairs. Unfortunately, our neighbor got home late and stayed up for the rest of the night, so we weren’t able to get any sleep. The facilities are dated but the hotel is beautifully situated. The breakfast was so-so. All in all, there are way better options for accommodation in Kilifi. (Distant Relatives and Salty’s being two of them.)

This is the ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It was very quiet and relaxing there. The pool was at a perfect temperature and very enjoyable to swim in. The staff were very considerate and friendly. The manager David went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay and is a marvelous human being. The chef Mr Rana was excellent. The Pizzas you get there were also very good. I will be back!!

Baobab Sea Lodge is an old hotel with an amazing location and great staff. Everyone is very friendly and ready to support my stay. The beach is amazing from this location. It's BOFA beach. I stayed in a seaview room. The views from the room are what I would call partial seaview but great none the less. I found the rooms a bit dark with not enough natural light. However, it's was a comfortable room . There was a nice gazebo by the pool where you could sit and watch the ocean from but other than that there arent enough covered spaces where you can sit or lounge seafront. There is a beach bar but when it's drizzling you can't really sit there. Some upgrades to the rooms and outdoor sitting spaces would make this a fantastic hotel. WiFi doesn't reach the rooms but since I was trying to be off technology, that didn't bother me much. We were such few guests that the hotel didn't have the usual breakfast buffet. We were served at the table but I feel they could have still printed a menu and offered us some options.

It was ok, a bit old-school but with friendly staff. The dinner was nice with generous portions of seafood. The rooms are built in the style of the local traditional huts but are functional. The hotel has beachfront access and you can walk for miles along the beach. Power went off twice for hours on end - was surprised there was no generator (management says it malfunctioned), and one of the pool stairs is a health hazard that almost broke my leg - apparently, not a new issue (has been reported before) but still hasn't been fixed.
