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.

What an amazing place for relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay a lot. The rooms are big, may be not fancy modern, but clean and in good condition. The garden all around the resort is amazing and a lot of people taking care for it. A nice paradise. We tried a lot of different food in the restaurants and everything was fresh, tasty and delicious. Doesn’t matter if it was the main, the pool or the beach restaurant. Finally the staff is amazing! Perfectly organised, perfectly trained, super friendly and helpful. Only thing you need to know, it’s far away from the city center and a bad street to drive and there is seaweed in the ocean but the beach is cleaned every morning. Thank you so much! We loved it.

Excellent beach resort on the southern end of Diani/Galu beach. Rooms - very traditional and roomy, clean with a good balcony. Good sized bathroom and shower. Food - excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We especially loved the beach bbq nights and the Mongolian bbq, really good. There are some drinks and food that are not on the all inclusive, but you can choose to pay a supplement if you wish, for the food anyway. But there is plenty of food and drink choice on the all inclusive. The pool is fabulous, with a great swim up bar and good staff. In fact all the staff are very friendly and super nice. The beach is lovely, and the sea like a bath. No real bother from the beach boys, they were all fine. We had 5 nights after a trek and safari, that was perfect, much longer and I would have been looking round for other stuff to do, not being the best at sitting still for too long!! Our only moan was with the really poor house/all inclusive white wine. It was just about drinkable, with added ice, but is frankly not up to standard and the hotel need to find something better!! The red is fine. Other wines (as with all of Kenya) are similar prices to the UK, mush more expensive than in South Africa. But overall a great 5 night stay, thanks to all!!

Wow, wow, wow! We have just returned from a wonderful 6 night stay at Pinewood and it was absolutely fantastic. The grounds are beautifully kept, our room (101) was large, comfortable and had a lovely balcony with chairs and a day bed. The room had air con and a ceiling fan. The food was excellent with breakfast and dinner served as a buffet and lunch Al a Carte on the beach. All was high quality, and on a couple of evenings there were live cooking experiences. I used the Amani Spa twice. Big shout out to Franny the therapist as I have never known anyone take some much time, care and attention over treatments. The prices, in my opinion are very, very competitive in comparison to other spas I have used, and well worth every minute. Every member of the team were friendly, welcoming, happy and polite. I'd like to give particular mention to John and Wycliffe, two of the best waiters and who let me give the fish their breakfast every morning, and to Caleb and Safari who made some of the best cocktails. I would highly recommend this lovely boutique hotel, especially for those who are looking for a slightly smaller, more intimate hotel.

Absolutely amazing hotel with the best staff. Everybody was so helpful and went out of their way to make our holiday special. The food was fantastic and the chef even made some gluten free bread for me for breakfast. Rooms were comfortable and the air conditioning was much needed. Every part of the hotel was kept clean and tidy by the energetic, friendly staff. Beautiful scenery and decoration throughout.

We had a great experience here, the setting was beautiful! Besides that the food was always very good, located right next to the beach which was great as well. Furthermore there were multiple bars where you could go to get your drinks or food. All the staff did a great job and were very friendly through our stay!
