We have just returned from Sandies Baobab on Monday of this week after spending two weeks at this fantastic hotel, including Christmas and both of our birthdays. The hotel isn't very big which is great. The rooms are like small bungalows and are spread around the the well kept gardens. The gardeners do a marvellous job, especially in the heat and the very high humidity. Our room was perfectly situated, close to the bar, restaurant and beach. The only down side to the room was that the air-conditioning didn't perform quite as well as it could have done. We had the temperature set as low as it could go at 17 degrees C but it still felt like the late to mid 30's. We did mention this a couple of times and maintenance did look at it. Thank you. The housemaids kept our room beautifully clean and we would often return to find our bed adorned with flower petals. This was a lovely touch especially on our birthdays. The Restaurant - the food is buffet style and was lovely and there was something for everyone. No complaints from us. We would like to say thank you to all of the really wonderful staff but in particular Anna and as we liked to call him the "Omelette Man" (sorry we can't remember your name}. We would also like to mention the Christmas Eve Gala Dinner around the swimming pool and the midweek BBQ on the beach. Both were fantastic and so much work was put into them. It was certainly a different Christmas Eve for us. The Bar (located by the pool) - all of the bar staff were lovely, but we would like to mention in particular Martin and Steve who were so friendly and amiable. They had much fun with my husband (Mr Paul) especially about my husbands dislike of the plastic glasses (we fully understand why they are plastic - near the pool). Pool, Beach and Animation Staff - what a wonderful group of people you have. Nothing was too much for these guys and girls. They were such all good all rounders and could turn their hand to almost anything. They were all very friendly and attentive to the guests and made our holiday extra special. We loved talking to and having a laugh with them. They also taught us how to play Bao which we quickly became addicted to (along with many other guests) so we purchased one and brought it home with us. We can't mention everyone as there are so many but would like to say a special thank you in particular to Saleh, Mussa and Rashid. You all made our holiday very special. Security - All very smart and professional and Mr Paul loved talking to them. Just one suggestion, the staff name tags could do with updating as some staff didn't have them and others were looking a little scruffy. It is nice to know what the staff are called as we like to call them all by their name. To the owners and managers of the hotel, you should be proud of all of your staff. Thank you from Mr & Mrs Paul
