“If you are looking for a home away from home. Baobab Village is the place.”
We choose what we wanted to eat, they prepared very well. ERIC assisted doing the shopping we didn't have to go buying stuff. He is amazing 👏

My family & I had a wonderful & relaxing time! We really liked the cottage- it was spacious & yet cosy with a large verandah where we had our meals & spent a lot of time! There are lovely gardens & a great swimming pool which is a good size with a big shallow end so ideal for children or lazing! The staff were charming, very attentive & keen to help. We hired a cook who was excellent & very willing to give us the very best. There is a authentic, Kenyan-coast feel about the cottage & area- casual luxury! . There are 3 other cottages so there is fellowship if you want it but it is not noisy! Old style" Watamu outside the compound- a short walk (10 minutes) to a lovely beach where one could if you wanted walk to other bays. The indian ocean & beaches are glorious- Watamu has many activities which are easily accessible with cheap tuk tuks or taxis. I would highly recommend Baobab village. It is charming & very good value!

“Blissful boabab”
The location was great. The staff friendly. He even called us before we arrived and shared the pin location to make sure we didn't get lost. The pool in the center is inviting. I like the fact that you could swim.late.

“We thoroughly recommend Baobab Village”
It was a great location and suited us for the relaxing break we wanted. Special mention to Franklin who cleaned beautifully every day and resolved any small issues promptly and also helped us when we had a problem with our return flight from Malindi. Also, Gorgeous who was also helpful with carrying in luggage and shopping, and finally chef Eric who made us four lovely dinners!

“Heaven”
We did not want to leave. It's a beautiful villa with a jungle feeling, well designed and pretty. The staff are literally angels. Pool is perfect, house is solar powered during power outages, it is close to one of the prettiest beaches in Kenya. We could cook fish and Eric the cook helps you negotiate a good price. When you're here visit Gedi Ruins, Garoda beach, Marine park and Mida Creek. Papa Remo has good parties on Saturdays. There are many beach boys in the area, they're friendly and if you don't like what they're saying just ignore them.

“It was Ok”
All the requests I had made prior during my booking had been set up, from a baby cot to a chef by the time we arrived. The choice of chef was excellent. The swimming pool is cleaned regularly and manned, the kids loved it. I was also pleasantly surprised to find and easily switch to solar backup on one of the nights during a power black out.

The staff were excellent. Franklin was especially helpful and responsive. Ronald, the chef was also very good and helpful in purchasing fresh seafood for us on a daily basis. The Host, Daniele's communication was excellent. He was very responsive to issues that arose. The Villa was very clean, spacious and ideal for our big family group.
