All the staff were professional, polite and very graceful. The front desk ,the bar service and the dining staff both for breakfast and dinner were friendly and very personable. I appreciated that they moved us to a suite (to accommodate one more person ) and upon welcoming me us there was a sign at the main entrance with my family’s name and our USA flag welcoming us. That was quite surprising and a great touch. Will definitely recommend and stay again. Best PEREZ/ USA

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.

A tranquil stay in beautiful surroundings. Excellent communal areas, easy access to good beach. High standard and good choice of food for half board. Good selection available for other meals if required. Reasonable prices for drinks. Convenient transfer back to local airstrip. A small, well appointed boutique hotel. Best of all, excellent staff and service.

Someone that work at the property (I think someone working housekeeping) stole $100 out of my purse that was in the room. I reported it to the property and they asked me if I used the safe and I told them that my partner did and that my money was stolen out of my purse that was in the room. They told me that it is rare and I should have used the safe. How terrible. No apology or anything. I shouldn’t have to take every dollar out of my purse and lock it away everytime I return back to the resort. I was there celebrating my birthday not being a guard for my personal belongings inside of my a room I paid thousands for. Will never visit this resort again!! And what a shame because the kitchen staff were so nice

Wunderbar!
Das Pinewood Resort ist ein sehr schönes Hotel mit ausgesprochen freundlichem Personal. Wir haben uns während unserem Aufenthalt sehr wohl gefühlt und waren mit dem Zimmer mit Meerblick wahrlich zufrieden. An Essen und Getränken fehlt es dann dem tollen Personal nie, lediglich im Restaurant beim Abendessen und Frühstück ist es immer sehr warm da es weniger Durchzug gibt. Besonders empfehlenswert ist das Dinner am Strand am Dienstag und Donnerstag! Herzlichen Dank an das ganze Team und besonders James und Grace!

Be aware of Credit Card Fraud
We where 2 couples that stayed 4 nights at Pinewood in end of February . Location, food, staff attention and infrastructure is top notch. UNFORTUNATELY, the experience was completely destroyed when we returned home to Norway and learned that we had been charged twice for the stay on our cards. Immediately, we contacted the hotel in good faith and asked them to refund us. After 8 weeks with several e-mails and phones we have not received the refund as promised by the Hotel Resident Manager Pamela Mshai. Consequently, we where left with no other choice than to report the case as fraud to bank and fiscal police.

Die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt; der Garten so, wie man sich einen tropischen Garten vorstellt. Die Zimmer haben alles, was man braucht. Besonders schön ist die große Terrasse, wo man ganz im privaten entspannen kann. Das Personal sehr freundlich und das Essen ausgezeichnet und abwechslungsreich.
