Pinewood Beach Resort & Spa

Good... Good point 1. Greatly hrlpful and kind staffs 2. Good facilities 3. Nice food especially dinner time. Generally perfect place for relaxation. Need to improve 1. Internet is slow 2. Spa needs to be expanded.

My stay at the Pinewood was amazing. Although the public areas are a little bit dated the quality of the rooms and the exceptional service by all the staff was above my expectations. From the gardeners to the chefs everyone goes out of their way to make your stay very memorable. I am sure if you choose the Pinewood you won’t be disappointed. I will return for sure! Great job everyone, especially the owner for creating such a special place with special people.

We arrived at Pinewood after a 6 day safari through the Rift Valley looking forward to a week of peace & quiet before our flights back to the Uk. And that is exactly what Pinewood offers. Reached via an unmade road a km along the Diani Beach it is a remote family built & owned hotel village. Right from our arrival we felt like we had been transported to an oasis of calm with all your needs catered for. The accommodation is set in a mature garden & arranged in groups of three to a ‘house’. Ours was a standard & was equipped with the usual fridge, tea/coffee, safe, nets, huge bed, spacious first floor room & a lovely balcony with lounge chairs & a day bed. The hotel felt quiet though was probably quiet full with, I guess, 25 to 30 couples but we had the feeling of having the place to ourselves. Beautifully landscaped with the main restaurant & lounge but also offering a swimup pool bar & snack area & then a further covered occasional restaurant & a further day time beach bar & restaurant equipt with a wood fired pizza oven. We were All Inclusive & the food was wonderful. International & Kenyan dishes with a rotation of themes & restaurants with a dozen chefs ready to serve & advise you. A private beach area under thatched sun shades & coconut palms which was never more than half full & a white sandy beach that rivals any in the Maldives. But what made Pinewood so special was the extensive staff who were always ready to provide a first class service & prided themselves on remembering our names & room number. Special thanks during our stay go to: Eunis at the beach bar, always friendly. Masaka at the pool bar, ready with local language lessons . Patrick the gardener, keen to point out the plants, flowers & wildlife. Freddie on beach towels, so lovely & helpful. John our waiter, always attentive . And Evan’s the housekeeping manager (also an Arsenal supporter) for arranging our extended stay. Thankyou to you all. It was also reassuring to see the Pinewood owner & architect in attendance every day. So If you want peaceful luxury with super attentive staff then you will love Pinewood.

Pinewood has a calm, tranquil presence which puts you at ease straight away. Set on a stunning beach away from the crowds. The apartments are very comfortable and clean. The pool, bars and restaurants are lovely and all set within a quiet village atmosphere.
