Stayed here in October 2011 for 2 weeks combined with a safari. Booked safari with JT Safari (see separate review) we were fortunate to be upgraded to a suite and enjoyed dinner prepared and cooked in our room on one night. The service in the hotel was excellent with a great range of food every day (we were half board)... More

Stayed here after two safari camps in Masi Mara and Samburu. We were lucky to have flown into the local airport at Ukunda, so the transfer took only about 20 mins. Unforunately we flew back out of Mombasa and that took over an hour and involved a ferry crossing. Arriving at the hotel - we were greeted with a drink... More

After a thrilling 4 days Masai Mara safari which we pre-booked from the UK with Twit Travel & Safaris, we arrived in this Resort totally worn out! The welcome was great! Very warm, friendly and not overdone. We were checked into our room swiftly and soon we had a shower after 12 hours travel under a rather hot sun. This... More

If you want a place with a ton of action, parties, and chaos - look elsewhere. Pinewood is relaxation paradise! The staff treat you like royalty, the food is to die for, and my bed was so comfortable I almost didn't want to leave it in the mornings. The only downside was the distance from everything. If you want to... More

We spent an eight day couples holiday at the Pinewood just after New Year, staying half board in a deluxe suite and following on from a three day safari package in the Maasai Mara park. Getting there - we flew Nairobi to Mombassa and pre-booked a taxi to drive us down to Pinewood. We were prepared for the cost and... More

We have just returned from a 10 day holiday at Pinewood and already I'm missing it and planning my next visit. We took our two children, an 18 year old daughter and a nine year old son and they both found plenty to do. The good thing about the resort in my view is that it has a very very... More

We stayed at Pinewood back in June for a family wedding and it was amazing. Everything that is written here is true. The staff were so very friendly and helpful, the facilities were lovely and i don't think i have ever ate so much. My only negative is that I didn't like the tortoise enclosure and a word of warning... More

My friend and myself stayed at this resort in November 2011. It is almost the last resort on that stretch of Diani beach; which is a big positive because there are absolutely no vendors along the beach or road to pester you. We were very pleased with the resort layout and amenities. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeble. Our... More

We stayed in Pinewood for 2 weeks in early Dec and had a fantastic time. We have travelled extensively and do not usually visit the same place twice - its a big world and so much to see - but Pinewood is a special place which has totally converted us. Food is excellent with great choice, staff are all extremely... More
