Các đánh giá Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve

It was our first time at Pine Cliffs and we stayed in a two bedroom suite at the Residences. The suite was great size and loads of space, plus nicely equipped kitchen and utility room, the style of the entire place somehow dated but not too bad, the bed were comfortable and we slept well so not complaining about the style BUT: - no dishwasher tablets or washing products ( one tablet a day and some washing products would be great especially for the price you pay for the stay) - barely any sockets in there, with few behind furniture, so if you’re a family with multiple phones, iPads, iWatches etc bring an extension cable or you’re going to be juggling with the charging times. - the shampoos/shower gels could do with modernising as we’ve had few different types delivered to our room and it just looks messy and random (also for this price you’d expect something more from upper shelves) - the aircon is old and doesn’t give you the cold air you’d wish for at times (it keeps the rooms at comfortable temp but only when it’s on high speed which is quite noisy) - there’s few problems we’ve encountered like shower spraying everywhere but where it’s meant to, leaking sink in the kitchen which got fixed but you wouldn’t expect these in a “luxury” resort. The only issue we didn’t get solved was the terrace light which didn’t work. - you have to wait quite a while for everything, there’s not enough stuff for the number of guests and most of the stuff (also, apart from reception and waiters don’t speak a word of English) - the TV is aged and could do with updating so you could log in to your streaming services - there’s no entertainment in the evenings and the village outside doesn’t provide any either so you’re left to entertain yourself - breakfast in on the cheap side with quite reduced selection of products so to make it look better you’ll find two massive bowls of each fruit and two trays of croissants (it does look full when you first look but on closer inspection there’s very little to choose from) plus there’s only one omelette/egg station so the queues are massive. Also the omelette station is outside so you get to see tens of wasps walking all over the ingredients - the biggest problem that we’ve experienced was the cleaner we’ve had!!! On one of the days we left the “do not disturb” sign on the door when we headed for breakfast and what did we find on our arrival back? The cleaner in the room, doing her job! We didn’t complain as maybe the sign magically came off somehow but the next day we’re in the room with the sign on the door and she rung the bell and then was just about the enter the room when I got to the door! I mean that’s unacceptable even in 3* hotel!!! What if I was doing my naked yoga or having some quality time with my other half??? We complained and the next day we had a different cleaner but the aftertaste is still there… On the plus note: - the grounds are amazing and in great shape - the atmosphere at the resort is lovely, no pre
