Pinewood Beach Resort and Spa

Diani Beach

10/10 Exceptional

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

Diani Beach

10/10 Exceptional

The resort is fairly small and had mostly couples or families with teenaged kiddos. An added benefit is that you ultimately get to know both the staff and the guests. It felt like an extended family reunion by the end. A huge shout out to Frank, Amina, Peter and the rest of the staff for making our stay comfortable and for teaching us...
