Pine Cliffs Ocean Suites, Algarve

My wife and I are staying here for the final 5 nights of our vacation and our 38th anniversary. The resort, the staff and the accommodations are wonderful. I’m a lifetime Titanium member and this is one of the best Marriott’s resorts I’ve stayed in. For our anniversary they had wine in our room when we checked in, they had boxed lunches free of charge for our boat trip and when we came back today there was champagne and chocolate strawberries waiting for us. The restaurants are very good, the spa is wonderful and the beach access is great. We are planning on returning with our kids sometime in the future.

Our 13th visit and stay. Management changes have improved in some areas but the approach to beach, Mare and Driving Range organisation has declined badly. The encroachment of the football pitch without realignment of the bays has decreased greatly the experience and feel of using it. The mats need realigned towards the trees, four of which nearest the targets need to be removed. The mats need more than 1 tee peg position and at least one forward hole on the mat since driving is done off the left heel which means having to stand off the mat. Different sizes of tees need to be available at all times and a supervisor is needed to prevent some golfers driving from in front of the mat which is distracting and dangerous. The situation at the beach with luxury beds available but often are unused when guests can find no normal beds free due to the reduction in numbers, needs far better management and has led to many unpleasant encounters with the staff who contradict the advice given in the hotel reception - that if a bed is not reserved in can be used . Basically PC should not have this tw0-tier system at all since all the guests have paid for well for the privilege. Also the removal of cushions from the sunbeds around the hotel pool area has hugely decreased the comfort of relaxing there. The new beds REQUIRE a cushion for comfort. Guests always enjoyed Mare for coffee until 6pm but now even with a regrettable 5:30pm closure staff are refusing entry from 5pm as happened to us, in spite of the advertised notices.Finally the wedding receptions have begun to interfere very adversely on hotel guests with unrestricted noise of loud music from mid-morning until mid-afternoon rehearsals, with no apparent supervision fron managers. This is massively intrusive on the hotel guests. Such a pity that the current management have allowed these aspects to become detrimental and detract from an otherwise wonderful resort. It needs to be properly reviewed and amended.

Pine Cliffs was the perfect way to relax after busy days exploring big cities. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. There was truly something for everyone — plenty of pools, great restaurants, and fun activities throughout the resort. The staff were attentive and welcoming, making everything feel effortless. A wonderful spot to slow down, recharge, and enjoy quality family time in a stunning setting!

Back for the second time this year for a couple of weeks. Was fantastic as always. Massive shoutout to all the ocean suite staff who assisted me after a car crash and helped me retrieved some belongings from the Ubers car that crashed. Without the reception staff I’m not sure I would have got my AirPods back. Everything was pretty much perfect as usual, always a relaxing stay. Always feels tranquil and safe at pine cliffs. The pine cliffs boat trip was definitely an amazing addition this year. The trip was breath taking and well worth €110. Please bring it back next year too :) The only slight negative that is a little off putting for next time is the new €15-€20 daily resort fee, which is expensive for a solo traveler. Perhaps it could be based on size of rooms/size of party. As a solo travelers pays the same as a group of 4/5? The only addition I’d love to see pine cliffs do is build an adults only pool/area. Thank you for another amazing stay and all your support with the incident See you next year.

I have just returned from a fabulous couple of nights stay at Pine Cliffs with my family. We enjoy very much this sunny days, the food was amazing with different freshly prepared options every day. The quality was very good. There are many pools that there was plenty of space for everyone, no rushing out to secure a sun bed in the morning and the empty beach was just getting down in the elevator! We have stayed several times because this is always our choice because of its quality, service and cleanliness. Even the kids always want to come back.
