Pine Cliffs Ocean Suites, Algarve

This hotel is a 5 stars but in this world everyone wants to be able to access internet. They would be out of business if it was in the USA. The food was great and the beach was really nice. The rooms were recently remodeled and very clean.

This is a fabulous hotel resort. We stayed for a weekend, Friday to Monday and cannot fault the facilities or accommodation. Our room was in the Ocean Suites block and was very spacious with a lovely terrace. The pool was right outside with a bar. There are extensive grounds and golf course. The beach is a ten minute lift ride and walk away with a beach restaurant which is part of the hotel. There are other restaurants and bars a short walk out of the hotel. Would recommend staying at Pine Cliffs.

The hotel is beautiful, with a moorish style to it with modern comfort. There are 3 pools to choose from an excellent gym and spa. The beach is beautiful with sunloungers and shade. Where they fall down like most 5*hotels is the food. Breakfast is VAST, though I felt it was more quantity over quality. The beach bar a wonderful venue but the food fairly basic. If you want a holiday where you want sun and to be pampererd this is for you! Make sure to rent a car if you can so you can enjoy dinners outside the hotel!

Superb hotel supported by equally high quality staff and surroundings. Cliff top location is great with elevator to a walkway down to fantastic beach. Although 113 steps from elevator base to beach they are easily negotiated as only 2 or 3 steps per section and therefore easy access to beach. Onsite costs of food and drinks are a little high even for 5star but there is a supermarket and several restaurants opposite resort drive exit. Some onsite facilities were yet to be opened as early May considered outside main season, which was frustrating and feel Hotel should advise travel agents accordingly. Ocean View room (196) is tremendous with really great views of gardens, pool , cliff and ocean. Loads of space and sun beds around pools and gardens with towel change daily if required - excellent. We enquired with Hotel about booking direct for same period next year and disappointed to receive a direct booking price actually higher than travel agent's together with hotel asking for 100% advance payment, with additional insult of non refundable terms in spite of a 1 year ahead booking. ?????

I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The rooms were a nice size. The bed was FABULOUS! We had the best sleep. The beach was picturesque. The restaurants served good, fresh fish. The staff was amenable. Had a great pedicure at the Spa. The Kids Club area had a large variety of activities to chose from.This is what a five star hotel should aspire to be. It is a huge compound and the signage could use some help. We got lost frequently. To get off of the campus, you must take a taxi since the resort is somewhat remote.
