Paradise found

Simply fabulous. Very clean, villas are amazing, food is exceptional. Staff go above and beyond for anything you need. Chefs offered to make us home cooked Indian food which we accepted and was fantastic, shout out to Bharat. Mussa in the sports shack was just a lovely guy, super helpful, couldn't do enough for the family.

Beautiful property and fantastic service.

The staff were wonderful and most went out of their way to help us and make the stay really special for our family. They helped us organise a wonderful lunch on the beach and the waiting staff in the restaurants, bar and pool were always on hand to assist. The restaurant manager, Ester was exceptional. Each villas is allocated a host and our host Angel was really helpful and available to sort out whatever we needed from trips to cars and answer (all) our questions).

Wow! What an amazing experience!!

From the moment we were met at the airport, the service was exceptional! We were greeted with water in the car, then towels etc on arrival at the hotel. The positive energy from all of the staff made us feel welcome from the first moment…. Nothing was too much trouble! The lovely lady (I think from Cuba , apologies don’t recall the name) she welcomed us so warmly. Angela (our villa host) showed us around the resort and the amenities, she saw we were two friends so immediately offered to change the twin beds to a double in the second bedroom. Angela was informative and knowledgeable about both the resort and the excursions. We met Esther on our first night at the beach party (very chilled not a wild party), we casually mentioned we wanted to try Swahili cuisine. Each day, she ensured we had a Swahili dish to try (which was a lovely surprise!). She also gave us recommendations of local sunset views and things to do. She was friendly, she checked in on us daily and went above and beyond. Esther, your aura and energy with your personalised touch contributed to an amazing stay at Baraza. Food overall was good but not exceptional (except for the swahili food, that was 10/10). They had lots of variety, i.e. each day was a different theme. Evening meals are a combination of buffet and a La carte. All of the staff are extremely warm and friendly. We had lunch on the beachfront, it had a personalised menu and was a lovely experience - we would highly recommend! The resort grounds are beautiful and well maintained, each day the gardeners are out maintaining the gardens. The spa… wow!! The BEST massage we’ve ever had, the body butter was insane, left the skin feel smooth and hydrated. The decor gave a deluxe luxury feel, so beautiful! Staff come to the room twice per day, cleaning in the morning, turn down in the evening setting up the mosquito net and folding back the duvet ready for bed.

Fantastic hotel - would highly recommend and would certainly visit again.

The room was fantastic - one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in (certainly rivals the water villa we stayed at in the Maldives). The set course menu was amazing (disappointed not to see a lobster on it, but suspect the menu rotates). Good range of complementary activities included in the rate. Although a room check out time of 10am, we could use the facilities, and eat/drink until we left for our flight (early evening) at no extra charge. Staff were very friendly, particular shout out to Isaak (cocktail bar) and Mtawa (pool bar).
