Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve

Pine Cliff Residence We spent 6 nights in the Pine Cliff Residence in June. We had a 2 bedroom, garden access apartment close to the pool area. The website will give you full details of the pools, multiple restaurants and on on-site activities so I’m not going to repeat them here. We made good use of the amenities - padel, driving range, mini-golf, rented bikes and our son attended the on site soccer camp. Each pool had a towel hut and there were always loungers available when we visited the pool area, which was relaxed. The resort shuttle provided an excellent service for the longer trips. The beach access was one of the highlights of our stay. The onsite restaurants are of high quality but can be expensive for a family to eat in for the duration of the stay so we mixed local restaurants, cooking in the apartments with eating at the resort. The favourite restaurants we ate in were Peri-Peri Steakhouse (dinner) and Zest (healthy lunch). There is a small intermarche supermarket just outside the entrance to the resort and some more budget friendly restaurants and coffee shops within short walking distance. Overall, while the stay stretches the budget, was comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to return again.

Great location. Great facilities but totally ruined by wedding parties and events. Sat 5th July impossible to escape the wedding speeches - incredibly loud and overwhelming. The wedding party took over main facilities and created huge noise and commotion almost impossible to avoid. . Very disappointing since this is an expensive resort.
