Pinewood Beach Resort & Spa

Arrival (5 star) - organised and efficient. Taken straight to room and personalised key code to enter instead of having to take a card or key around - very useful. Room (4 star) - nice layout and great AC. The bedrooms are the only places with AC so are a nice relief after a warm day. No TV was unusual. Pool (4 star) - plenty big enough for the number of guests. Never struggled finding a sunbed. Sunbeds could be comfier. Food (3.5 star): - Breakfast - has most of what you need but a lot of wasps around, and no AC in the restaurant as it’s open with no windows - made it difficult to enjoy when hot. - Lunch - very good (5 star), à la carte by the pool or beach. Not all meals are on All inclusive but there’s enough option included. - Dinner - different themed nights but no choice other than to do them. It was good though and always a pasta/lasagne option in case. Mongolian night by the pool the best (5 star). Buffets in the main restaurant okay but again no AC so couldn’t enjoy when too hot. The main downside on the food is most meat is on the bone which is not our preference. À la carte dinners would be a good addition. Entertainment (1 star) - non existent but as to be expected with a boutique hotel. No harm in running quizzes/bingo though as people will join as there’s nothing else to do in the evenings. Departure (4 star) - efficient and was able to keep the room with late checkout for no fee which was nice. Albeit had to pay for lunch as All Inclusive ends at check out

After a six day safari , we arrived after a bumpy road to this beautiful hotel . The gardens, restaurants, snack bars, pool and beach were immaculate. All cleaned daily . Koi ponds and waterfalls by the restaurant , trees and shrubs around all the gardens . The staff are all friendly , helpful, efficient and immaculate too! We had an ocean view room on the first floor. Beautiful room, traditional but with all the mod cons. Kettle , hairdryer etc Lovely bathroom. Comfy balconies with daybeds or armchairs and hammocks. All very clean . Happy to recommend this oasis !

We had a good time excellent rooms and food and hospitality i recommend it highly thank u Mr kanji u are the best

Thankyou to Pinewood management and staff members fof the exellent service during our 2 week training....kudos

Pinewood was the most amazing hotel. Our room overlooked the pool & the beach, a beautiful view from our balcony. The staff were fabulous- always friendly & nothing was too much for them. Food was excellent - we has breakfast on a terrace overlooking a pool full of koi carp, lunch at a beach bar & dinner alternated between the pool, the beach & the restaurant. A fabulous place to stay.
