The Gold Chopsticks restaurant, located within the Baobab holiday resort, offers an authentic Chinese ambiance with friendly wait staff, although the pricing might be on the high side. My experience was quite pleasant, despite some unexpected charges for staples like rice. The service was commendable, as the team exhibited patience even after we lingered a bit late. However, my overall hotel experience was marred by an unfriendly reception, long waits, and maintenance issues in the room. While the resort has several appealing amenities and activities, the lack of prompt service and basic comfort can really detract from the experience.

The resort offers a stunning environment with beautiful scenery and plenty of activities to enjoy. However, the service initially left much to be desired, and I faced significant issues with room cleanliness and food safety that overshadowed the overall experience. The beach area is truly a highlight, making it a great spot for relaxing. Just be cautious about the monkeys and what you eat during your stay.

5.8/10

While the hotel has the potential to be great with its spacious rooms and lovely beach area, my experience was marred by poor service upon check-in and some room issues. The dining options were mediocre, and it took us too long to get into our rooms which could've been better maintained. The location is decent, but the lack of helpful staff around definitely impacted our stay.

The hotel is located near the beach and shopping areas, which is a plus, but it’s not as close as advertised. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Dining

5.0

Dining was quite underwhelming with bland food options and inconsistent quality. I would rate it a 5 out of 10.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities like the pool area were nice, but there were too many outside guests using it during our stay, which took away from the exclusivity we expected. I'd rate this a 7 out of 10.
