Our stay at Baraza was truly a slice of paradise. The luxurious and spacious rooms made us feel like royalty, and the warm, welcoming staff were always eager to help, making our experience delightful. The food was exceptional, especially the seafood and Swahili night with dancers. While the tidal nature of the sea limited swimming times, the stunning pool made up for it. Overall, it's an unforgettable getaway, although we did encounter some noise around the pool due to families with children.

Our stay at Baraza was nothing short of extraordinary! The resort exuded luxury with stunning villas and impeccable service. The highlight was definitely the staff, who went above and beyond to make our stay special. The only downside was the beach, which although beautiful, wasn't ideal for swimming due to some sea life. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would cherish forever!

Our stay at this resort spa was truly memorable; the service was exceptional, and the amenities really made us feel pampered. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, perfect for unwinding. However, the dining could use more variety in the evening menu. We were impressed with the cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities, but the beach area can sometimes feel a bit crowded, which detracted slightly from the tranquil experience.

We had an unforgettable Christmas stay at the resort, with beautiful surroundings and attentive service that made the season incredibly special. The meals were exceptional, and the atmosphere was festive, especially with the choir by the pool. However, the location was a bit far from the main city, and when we booked a larger villa, we encountered some issues with the pool not working properly. Overall, this place is perfect for a luxurious retreat, but a shorter stay might be more ideal.
