Kinondo Poa is run by some of the kindest and most attentive staff I've encountered in my many travels in East Africa. It is a semi-circle of cottages arranged around a swimming pool, just a 2-minute walk from the beach. To get there you go past all the big hotels and down an unpaved part of the road--your taxi driver... More

We were a family of four with half board. They assigned two rooms side by side and just few steps from the pool. Rooms are nicely furnished with a cooler water dispenser, aircon and hot water. Staff fixes the room every day to nicely place flowers in bed whlie the mosquito net is downed or lifted (am and pm) although... More

We stayed at Kinondo for our honeymoon after 6 days on safari. What a treat. There was only one other couple there when we arrived, so we were almost exclusive. The staff couldn't do enough for us and nothing was any bother at all. Drinks were brought to us, wherever we were and the food that Joshua cooked for us... More

We had just settled in and then a family reunion of kenyans arrived for their get together-oh boy what a crowd. 4 of us had to be moved to the cove retreat as the resort was taken over by these people with 11 children in a no children resort ? it seems that the management do not care as long...

We stayed at Kinondo Retreat in April and were a little worried after reading some reviews. However, we had no complaints. The rooms are large nothing spectacular but cleaned thouroughly ever day, sheets and towels changed every 2 days. We had been on safari for 3 days before coming here and I have to say that the lodge idea of... More

I was on holiday with ( cookietin) who left a review of Kinondo Retreat in January and it seems to have stirred up a hornets nest so I am going to leave my own comments. I am also glad to see that another couple who overlapped with us have backed up what was said, in fact they suffered worse. Everything... More

My partner and I stopped at Kinondo for 5 nights after a 7 night Kuoni Cheetah safari. The safari was absolutely fantastic and I could go on about all the animals we saw for ever, however early starts and lots of traveling take there toll and we wanted to relax for a few days before coming home. There were only... More
