Pine Cliffs Residence  

The apartment was big, modern,comfortable and spotlessly clean. Kitchen bigger than expected and very well equipped. The grounds around the hotel are huge and immaculately kept. All the staff were courteous and friendly and breakfast was fab. We travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels around the world and this rates amongst the best ever.

Paying 15 Euros a day for internet. Grrrr

We stayed at Pine Cliffs for 6 nights in the beginning of Jan 2012. The first thing that strikes as the magnificent and impecably maintained territory of the resort.The two bedroom apartment we had was spotless and very convenient, the personel are tactful and would go out of their way to help you at any time. The breakfast was excellent and surely to the standard of a real 5 stars hotel (and this is in low season!). The tennis courts are good, but you'd better take your own rackets as they would charge you 6eur for each on top of the 18eur charged for the court. The experience at the beauty salon was also very good. Heard from the staff that they are having a bigger beuty salon being built which seems a right decision seeing the size of the acommodation. The descent to the private beach is stunning and the Retiru de Isca restaurant outside the hotel is very good (ask about it at the reception). They have deliscious sole fish, clams etc. On the whole an amazing exprience with beautiful weather, fantastic nature and relaxing atmoshere. We'll definitely return to Pine Cliffs!

The only slightly negative point to mention is that the bedside lamps are not convenient for reading, but this is really the only point in our view.

Excellent venue if you are looking for luxury but child friendly.....could not fault the service at pine cliffs Restaurants expensive, food ok....would recommend eating out of the resort Would definitely come back

A very clean resort with nice pools and staff. Good playground aimed at children mostly above four years old. Good food which was mostly seafood themed although repetitive and expensive.

The beach is not accesable for young children who require buggies, although it is a beautiful beach. Food and drink inside the resort is very very expensive. Go half board is a good option, although the buffett is very repetitive even though the theme is supposed to be different every night. The resort is not suitable for children under four in my opinion, due to lack of menu, suitable resturants, walking required to get anywhere etc. Kids club is also very expensive. Also internet is expensive, €5 ph in room, free in reception which can be far from room.

Location, beach and gardens

Service far too slow and ineficient, understaffed; kids club needs improvement to make it more appealing; no recycling and not very environment friendly; tighter security over who accesses the resort.

The facilities are great and I got a proper holiday which can be difficult to come by with a 3 and 2 year old. The standard of the residences is very high and the cleaning staff keep the place sparkling!

It is pricey. A couple of the waiting staff (one or two of the men) at breakfast/dinner at the pine cliffs area were so insincere and over the top that it made for an uncomfortable dining experience.

Luxury apartment was superbly equipped, hotel facilities were excellent, breakfast outstanding, extremely courteous and helpful staff, kids loved indoor pool and access to the beautiful beach was first class by way of a lift and private stairs

It took us over an hour whilst in the complex, to find where to book in, the reception was closed, the ground staff gave us wrong directions but help came through the sales office who directed us correctly. During the low season you have to book into the Hotel reception which, had it have been made clear on our booking, would have saved some time and red-faces! - but the apartment more than made up for this error! We had a great time.

The service of the staff! It's an luxury and fully equipped apartment with the facilities and service level of a 5-star hotel. A new concept for us, and we liked it very much.

Um verdadeiro 5 estrelas. Serviço excepcional efectuado por empregados competentes e muito simpáticos. O enquadramento paisagístico do Hotel é único, valorizado por uma excelente manutenção. Serviço de espreguiçadeiras e tolhas na praia e na piscina excelentes.Os apartamentos são amplos modernos e confortáveis. Excelente Hotel para quem viaja com crianças pequenas. Parabéns

Preço exagerado da restauração Não sendo responsabilidade directa da gestão do Hotel é importante resolver o problema da praia que está literalmente a desaparecer.

Espaços agradáveis, muito verde, muitas árvores. O apartamento é muito agradável, muito espaçoso e com muitas varandas. Tudo ok, menos uma excepção grave: o aquecimento (ver ponto negativo, a seguir).

O aquecimento do apartamento é simplesmente ridículo. Com tudo no máximo, nem ao fim de 8h o apartamento estava aconchegante. No inverno (foi o caso), obriga a andar de pijamas, robes, pantufas e mantas... Para um 5 estrelas, deixa muito a desejar neste aspecto. Chamámos a manutenção e disseram-nos que era mesmo assim, que era um sistema a água quente muito lento. Enfim...

De ruime suite, met alle mogelijke comfort. goed onderhouden tennisbanen, mooie driving range, leuke 9 - holes baan. gezellig corda cafe, met lekkere gerechten. mooi strand met beach house

vanaf 1 november sommige zaken gesloten, geen ligzetels meer op strand; peperdure badmutsen

Wunderschöne Anlage mit allem was man sich wünschen kann. Das Frühstücksbuffet verdient den Titel "exzellent". Der Strand gehört zu den schönsten, saubersten, die ich schon gesehen habe. Landschaftlich einfach superschön.
