Pine Cliffs Village

A great return to Pines Cliff Luxury Collection hotel. A warm welcome on arrival by Carolina, and an upgrade room with ocean view. This is a favourite hotel, and one we will return to again this year. A beautiful hotel, there are very high standards throughout. Breakfast has great variety with efficient friendly staff ensuring all is 100%. Carlos, is a most charming Concierge and most helpful and knowledgeable. Sorry we missed you on checkout. Indoor swimming pool and water facilities are excellent. Due to weather conditions, it wa sa daily visit. Spa well worth a visit. There are pleasant walks outside in the immaculate grounds, and Olhos de Agua is close by. Housekeeping excellent in our spacious room with luxury linens. Louisa Rodriguez offers a great voice and convivial atmosphere in the lounge nightly. Golf club nearby and several restaurants within walking distance along with Corda Cafe inside the hotel offering great dining and pleasant staff. Professional and pleasant checkout by Tiago completed an excellent stay. Thankyou. Highly recommend.

Scam!! I stayed at this hotel with my family and they ILLEGALLY double charged my card without my knowledge or authorization, and they are "investigating" since many days. Stay aware, I have stayed in Marriott around the world and never had such an issue from a hotel stealing from its guests. Unacceptable!! Ps. The hotel is not nice or luxurious, far from what you would expect from a luxury collection hotel. I would recommend Vila Vita Parc or the number of other great options instead of staying with these scammers and thiefs.

We had a good time staying at the hotel here with friends. Our room was spacious, and well-appointed and there was a good supply of amenities. Outside, the pool area was very nice and there's a handy and efficient bar area nearby. We also enjoyed cocktails and music at the other outdoor bar (further down towards the sea). One of my goals in our stay here was to have a golf lesson. I'm a beginner golfer and fail to find the time to do much in the way of practice but this was the best lesson I have ever had. So many handy tips to take away with me. My only real criticism of the place is that the resort is absolutely vast, and it's often difficult finding your way to things. I also found it a bit soulless. So, while I wouldn't make a special effort to stay here again, I'd happily do so.

The most amazing resort ! Everything was perfect. It's definitely 5 star. The service, quality of accommodation, restaurant choices and food quality were all outstanding. 30 mins from Faro airport. Ubers widely available. We visited Albufeira and Vilamoura for mornings out but wish we had just stayed in Pine Cliffs as it's so beautiful. The beach is incredible and Mare restaurant for lunch is wonderful. Played golf, nice coirse although pros will want a longer game. Weather perfect too, hot sunshine all day.

First of all here is a summary of our experience. This is a huge place, and you need to get one of the complimentary 'buggies' to get you from A - B. We only used one of the many swimming pools, which was down by the Residents Area - big pool, plenty sun beds. We also had breakfast here, which was so much lovelier than the one up by the main reception. Room was fabulous, ours had a kitchen, so we took the opportunity to cook. BEWARE...food and drinks are very expensive. A beer is the equivalent of around £7 We ate in the Italian restaurant the first night, mainly because we were tired, and a pizza was around £24-50 A basic fish dish in their seafood restaurant started at around £39. Every time you order food and drink, 10% gets added to your bill, but you can just cross through this and either pay no service or put your own amount in. All the staff were wonderful, helpful and friendly. Now, a bit more detail....on arrival the receptionist was very helpful and explained everything well, including the service charges as explained above. Our apartment was huge. 2 bedrooms, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge. Kitchen had everything. Big TV in the lounge, and one in each bedroom. Air Con excellent. Main terrace was spacious. Bathrooms large and the bath was really big. Breakfast is amazing. Such a variety of food and drink. Omelets and fried eggs made to order. Excellent service. The Champagne Bar is well worth a visit, especially towards sunset, but go much earlier as it does get packed. As stated, food and drink are expensive. Just across from the hotel are a couple of bars, where you can also get snacks / meals. A pint of local (delicious) beer is around £3-30. There is a great supermarket there as well, which we used a couple of times. Had everything we wanted, from seafood and meat to bread, wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, and much, much more. We went many times to the nearby town of Olhos De Agua (use an Uber - only cost us around £4 one way). Walk down to the seafront; you won't be disappointed. At the far end of the seafront is a great bar (has a red roof). Don't be put off by its 'shabbyness' - drinks are great, as is the food, and had a great laugh with the staff. At the opposite end is a restaurant overlooking the sea. Brilliant food. Restaurant Olhos is a must, but go with a proper appetite!! Fab food and atmosphere. Staff again were brilliant. We had a Saturday morning out at Loule, which is market day. If you want to cook and love seafood, then go here. Several seafood places in the indoor market, with prices you won't believe. We had tuna steaks, which would have fed 3 to 4 people, for £11. Fruit and vegetables were stunning. Again, use an Uber - £14 each way (about 15 miles one way). We got out of Pine Cliffs what we wanted, and enjoyed it immensely.

I write to say how fabulous the Pine Cliffs golf apartments this May trip has been . Pine Cliifs staff all -brilliant Apartment - updated internally and as ever quality fittings . Pine Cliffs facilities - second to none Pine cliffs grounds / pools excellent We have regularly reviewed over years and Pine Cliffs in this time has probably trebled in number of differing style rooms/ apartments/ Town houses/ Villas / Ocean sweets etc and all the while the grounds have continued to look incredible . The whole location and Staff are deserving of the best reviews
