Located in Jambiani and only 200 metres from Paje Beach, Baobab Bungalows provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With pool views, this accommodation features a balcony and a swimming pool. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Everything! 1- the pool is AMAZING: clean, big, places to sit inside the pool; 2- the hotel itself: very cute design, clean and big rooms, with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equiped too. Great bonus: the hotel provides cold water on arrival (a gallon). 3- the staff: very friendly staff, always ready to help and very kind. Special mention to Dona, the manager, who has a car and drove me to the supermarket and showed me around on my arrival day. 4- I felt very safe at the hotel (night guard, staff always there, small hotel) 5- If you love a quiet and peaceful place, this is for you. I hate big and crowded hotels. This one is super quiet and there is not many bungalows, so it never felt crowded even when the hotel was full. I LOVED IT! One of my favorite hotel yet 🩷

The property features inner courtyard views and is 45 km from Cheetah's Rock and 48 km from Mangapwani Coral Cave. Each room comes with a balcony with views of the garden. The house was very nice. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was beyond our expectations, many things, all of them fresh and very tasty. Zuzanu was a very nice host! She was very helpful with everything we asked from her during our stay and was willing to tell us things about the island and her personal experiences. The location was also very convenient, 2 minutes from the sea and very close to restaurants and anything else someone might need. 100% would stay again there!!

With a terrace, the 2-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Charming and quiet boutique hotel with 2 pools. The hotel is well maintained and extremely clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
