    The facilities are amazing, the rooms are spotless, the staff are so friendly! The food is really good, with lots of options! There is so much to do. Everything has been well thought through too! We will definitely be back and can’t recommend more!

    We went for breakfast once and the breakfast was not that great. Service was pretty slow and you could tell that they were really understaffed. Furthermore, cleaning could have been better as often the bathrooms were dirty, even after cleaning. The food was also so so as it was overpriced and not that great. I recommend going somewhere outside of the hotel to find a good place to eat.

    The atmosphere and the location was fantastic. The pines and the cliffs were so mesmerizing. It really felt like a paradise and you really feel relaxed. The concierge, Claudia was really helpful and we really appreciated her recommendations.We really liked our apartment as it came with everything that we needed and even more!

    I don’t like to be negative, but because there is something very magical about Pine Cliffs. I need to address this , I noticed a lot of conferences going on which seemed to take over parts of the hotel and staff at times . When it should have been relaxing , the atmosphere was not , it very corporate . While i stayed for 11 nights there was at least 5 of these going on back to back and 3 weddings . I understand they have to catch up because of covid . But it seemed to over take the main areas alot . Before I left , there was meant to be 900 Spainards coming for a 3 day conference. I was left a note stating that some of the amenities would be closed which would have really annoyed me if I was still there . Pine Cliffs is not cheap and I definitely think you should ask how many of these could be going on when you are staying . Please remember your selling tranquility healthy eating and overall well being . When i’m on holiday i don’t want to feel like i’m at work watching these events .

    I had an apartment and it was amazing everything was brand new . I didn’t have breakfast there but my friend was staying in the hotel and she said it was excellent. My bed was so comfortable it was like sleeping on a cloud . The beach was outstanding for me , l loved it .I ate in the Mare beach restaurant nearly every day and the food was good and the service was very good . I will say pricey but honestly the view .

    unfortunately the food, this is the biggest downside it’s really not good, especially considering the price you are paying. My son unfortunately contracted food poisoning eating l at the ‘O Grill’ buffet restaurant , but to be honest we hadn’t been that impressed with the food before this point. luckily we love travelling out of the hotel, and ventured into Vilamoura marina lots of evenings, so we weren’t restricted.

    The whole complex was beautiful, really well designed. lots of pool options so never over crowded. loved the direct access to the beach via a lift and walkway, beach beds provided by hotel. lovely staff, every staff member from bar staff to managers were attentive, polite and kind. rooms are very comfortable and big it’s a big complex, so some things are quite far to walk, but we like walking so this is a bonus for us, you don’t feel ‘lazy’.

    I'm sure there is sunstainable programs but the environment footprint is not evident anywhere. No recycling bin inside the apartment, no mention of water waste or water drinking fill up stations. The internal shuttle service is the real disaster and it seems very unorganised.

    It feels like you are in a small town but exclusive use to hot el guests only. A holiday you can explore the various options without the need of a car.

    Pools could or even should be warmer (maybe not for British guest, but all others).

    Beautiful resort with different accommodation options. Pine Cliff Garden is perfect for families, fully equiped appartment combined with the advantage of hotel service. Whole area (beach, pools, kids playground, garden, restaurants) is awesome. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We will come back.

    It was very far to walk to the main pool and breakfast from the room and a very long walk to the beach. The prices for food, icecream and kids activities were really too high in my opinion. The price for the room was very fine but especially the food and kids activities was very expensive, the food quality should have been higher with those prices.

    Beautiful view, nice, big and clean hotel apartment and good breakfast.

    Bedding wasn't to our liking, pillows too soft. Specifically requested no feather pillows due to allergies but this was not sorted. Due to a very late check in we therefore had no pillows for the first night.

    Facilities, cleaning staff very thorough, water in room each day, shuttle service, location great, lots of places to eat nearby.

    I liked the beautiful pictures of this resort. Unfortunately, the photos do not tell you how comfortable you will feel there. In the pictures they have an amazing sauna. In fact, one sauna closes at 19:00, the other at 20:00. Also, you will need some kind of booking for this. That is, good luck with the sauna. Service generally below expectations and in particular for breakfast. Personal has no idea how to make double espresso, they just make you full cup of coffee. They don't have Syrniki for breakfast, you won't believe it. Unstable Wi-Fi. And they have a towel card system. I think this is what needs to be left in the last century.
