Pinewood Resort

The food was one of the best parts for me: homely, tasty, and varied across lunch, snacks with tea and coffee, dinner, and breakfast. The resort is good for families, and the kids stayed busy with the slides and play areas. There are four pools for children and adults, and the long slide was the main highlight for grown-ups. Rain dance was a bit disappointing. We stayed in AC deluxe rooms, which were decent and comfortable, with a pleasant overall ambiance. Check-in was at 12 PM and check-out at 10 AM as stated in the booking. Indoor and outdoor games are available with a ₹100 refundable deposit, though bring your own TT balls or badminton shuttlecocks because the provided ones are poor quality. One booking caution: the initial calls felt misleading, with inflated prices said to be due to a heavy crowd, but there were far fewer guests when we arrived. Be cautious and negotiate when booking. Money well spent overall, and highly recommended for families.

We enjoyed a really good weekend here. The staff were polite and knew the place well, and there were board games and outdoor games with enough equipment for everyone. The rooms and surroundings felt clean and peaceful. The poolside water park was clean and family-friendly, and the buffet had a wide menu with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and enough dessert choices. I’d definitely recommend it for a weekend getaway.

There’s plenty for kids to do, including well-maintained pools and fun slides. The food was excellent, and service was quick and courteous. With its beautiful, relaxing atmosphere, it’s a great family getaway in Karjat. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for a family vacation.

We arrived by mistake a day before our booking, but they accommodated us. The stay was excellent, and there are lots of activities besides the swimming pool. I’ll definitely visit again.
