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.
