I had a wonderful stay at this resort, thanks to the amazing views from both my lagoon view bubble and the Baobab King Suite. The dining was a highlight, with some of the best food I’ve had during my time in Kenya. The outdoor ocean view bathtub on my private terrace was a perfect touch. However, the overall experience could have been slightly improved if there were more amenities available.
