Baobab is situated right on the beach and makes you feel like you're in paradise. The staff is super helpful no matter which issue. The kitchen is not well equipped with plates but offers lots of space for cooking. Had a good time and appreciated the hard mattresses!

Great beachfront location and it’s only about 15-20 minutes by foot to the center of town. The staff here are the nicest people I’ve met during my travels. Very friendly and helpful, made me feel so welcome from day 1. Have to say though that the shared facilities have not been well maintained and are in serious need of fixing. Lots of broken toilets and showers, shower areas get flooded, in the dorm room mosquito nets have huge holes… may be better staying elsewhere if you could afford to.
