Royal Horizon Baobab

X X X X X

We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows and it was an excellent stay. The bungalow was right on the beach with a veranda with 2 chairs and 2 sun loungers under a thatched parasol. The room which was air conditioned was very clean and cleaned daily. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our bungalow was fairly close to the reception / dining complex which meant we had some noise from the various entertainments but it wasn't too intrusive. Some bungalows are further away but that means a longer walk to get to the restaurant etc. The grounds are beautiful and scrupulously maintained, as is the beach which is very clean with safe bathing areas. There are 2 pools, but we didn't use them. The food is good with a wide selection. I would hesitate to call it excellent but we were pleased with the quality and choice. We only used the buffet, there is an a la carte restaurant but we didn't use it. The overwhelming majority of the visitors are French, consequently we found that very few of the staff spoke good English. We managed OK with our very basic French but some may struggle. We found it difficult to change money. Sterling is not accepted and the ATM in the hotel only accepts Visa cards - when it is working. They do accept payment in Euros. We would recommend the Royal Horizon Baobab and would happily go there again.

My family and I spent a beautiful week in Baobab hotel in Somone. We enjoyed our stay there very much. The accomodation is located pretty much in a botanical garden (surrounded with colorful flowers) which is very quiet. The food was amazing, with a wide selection of fruit, salads, types of meat and various specials from all around the world. The beaches were very clean and privat. The entire hotel staff was very nice and helpful.

Meet friends at a conference being held at resort. Food was spectacular, with abundance of choices. Spent 4 days here staying in 2nd floor room as well one if the bungalows when we had to change rooms for last night. Service was excellent with very attentive and conscientious staff.

The hotel already needs to be refreshed. The rooms did not look like the level that hotel promises. However, small houses in beautiful garden, long beach - that are the positives of the hotel. The staff was not very friendly - generaly - of course there were also those who smiled and tried to be helpful. The food was average but everyone could find something according to taste. The sunbeds at the beach need big improvement - old and not good maintained.
