Gorgeous resort, relaxing vibe
Spectacular last minute family trip to the southern coast of Portugal! Needed to escape the hustle and bustle of Seville for some R&R and Pine Cliffs Hotel was perfect for us! The grounds are spectacular, beautifully groomed with direct beach access. The restaurant directly on the beach served up high quality ceviche and drinks and there were ample beach chairs with shade available for our use. The 1 bedroom suite we reserved was spacious and clean though did show some signs of wear but was still clean with comfortable linens and towels. The breakfast bullet provided plenty of options to choose from with plenty of fresh fruit, pastries and the typical fare of higher end buffets (espresso drinks, juice options/smoothies, omelette station, etc). We would definitely stay again next time we visit southern Portugal!

I love everything in this resort except the following: There should be a dedicated area and pool for children and families with children. Fine dining area should be just adults only. Price points of their drinks is just outrageous, it’s understandable it’s in a five star resort but it’s in the Algarve, Portugal, not Manhattan, New York.

This was a last minute purchase as we looked for a sunny vacay. We were certainly not disappointed. The weather was amazing, the beach is gorgeous and the resort was beautiful. We did half board which was a great option as the food is so good. The Champaign bar is a must.

Only a brief visit - definitely worth a second visit to the most beautiful beach in the world during the high season when the hotel shops are open. Spa and beach were particularly impressive. Very much enjoyed the short two day stay.

The property was beautiful and the staff helpful and accomadating but not warm or friendly which we frequently encountered elsewhere in Portugal. The room was clean but haphazardly restocked. They didnt clear teacups until asked and either brought many waters or none. The facility is HUGE and maze like but we got used to it. Biggest complaint is: I tripped over an exposed wire and fell very hard at the bar on the terrace overlooking the cliffs. No one apologized; no one offered a comp drink; nothing . One nice waitstaff said she has complained to her boss about that cord.

Stayed here for a mother/daughter vacation with my 7 year old. Was a beautiful property, we felt very safe and comfortable and it was the perfect hotel for kids. Lots of other kids to play with and tons of amenities geared towards kids. My daughter loved the kids club, games room, buffet and endless selection of pools to jump in. I held back one star on this review because there were several occasions where we felt like there was not enough waitstaff to handle the volume of guests and demands. We had to wait quite a long time for food service a few times and had to seek out staff to order food and drinks when lounging on the lawn. Other than that, it was great and I would definitely revisit with even more of our family because there is something for everyone and it has a great family atmosphere.

Overall the hotel is nice with spacious, never felt overcrowded with plenty of grounds to walk and enjoy. Two main issues. Firstly, the breakfast was poor with luke warm food and dreadful coffee of all types. Secondly, there isn’t a nice bar to enjoy the evenings. The main bar is dark and dingy and the champagne bar which is nice shuts at 10pm.

This beautiful property is a hidden gem! Truly had the best time and every need was met! The staff were friendly, professional, and worked hard to help us enjoy our stay. The facilities were top notch. Grounds are beautiful, pools are clean, restaurants are delicious and varied, and the beach was one-of-a-kind! Our room in the hotel was beautifully updated and done with great quality. The room was well-equipped, and the housekeeping staff came by twice daily. We were thrilled to have the wonderful breakfast buffet included and it was just amazing every morning! We will be back to this resort without a doubt!!!
