At Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve, travellers praise the stunning cliffside setting, spacious suites with kitchens, and plentiful facilities from pools and beach access to restaurants, with overall cleanliness and well-kept grounds frequently highlighted.
Food is widely considered good to excellent, though on-site options can be pricey, some venues close in the off-season, and reservations or variety may be limited. Service is frequently described as friendly, but experiences vary, with occasional slow or unhelpful moments, and the large, spread-out resort can mean shuttle waits and rooms far from main amenities. Families benefit from the heated indoor pool and many activities, while couples may find pools busy with children and extra charges for certain amenities. Expect a beautiful, family-oriented resort with strong facilities and comfort, but prepare for resort scale, premium pricing, and variable service.

Facilities
Extensive and well-kept facilities include multiple pools (with a heated indoor option), beach access, golf and racquet courts, spa/fitness, and family activities. The large layout relies on shuttles that can involve waits, pools skew toward families, beach access can be a bit challenging, and several extras (prime loungers, mini-golf, parking, swim caps) carry fees.

This is a wonderful, large resort for a holiday with a small child. A fabulous heated indoor pool, and lots of things to do. Everything is in great condition, clean and safe. Housekeeping did a magnificent job on keeping our apartment tidy.

Pine Cliffs is a beautiful property with excellent dining — every restaurant we visited delivered on food, service, and ambiance. Truly a highlight of the stay. That said, our overall experience was mixed. Check-in felt hectic and wasn’t especially accommodating for traveling with a small child, which set a challenging tone at the start. We stayed in the residences, and personally, I wouldn’t choose that option again. They felt far from the main amenities, inconvenient to access, and not as premium as expected. The indoor pool was a big plus and clearly popular, especially during an off-season stay. It made a difference for families needing an easy activity. This may have been influenced by traveling off-season, but when we return to this area, I’d likely choose a different property. A lovely resort in many ways, just not the right fit for us this time.

Reines Familienhotel mit entsprechenden Zielgruppen und Familienevents jeden Tag. Die Bars sind keine wirklichen Bars, auch wenn der Name dies vortäuschen soll. So wird in der Champagnerbar kein erleser Champagner genossen sondern vielmehr beim Bier mit Karten gespielt. O Pescador, PiriPri und Yakuza haben eine sehr gute Qualität. Das Hotel ist viel zu groß für die Anzahl an Menschen, die in die Pools wollen. Die Pools sind daher reine Kinderspielplätze. Das Maré Restaurant am Strand ist sehr gut. Aber nur die Balibetten auf dem Maré -253 EUR pro Tag - sind für ein nicht Ballermanngefühl die einziger Option. Unser Zimmer mit Blick auf den Golfplatz war sehr gut. Unser gebuchter und bestätigt Shuttlettansfer zum Flughafen ging schief und kam 25 Minuten zu spät. Der Fahrer war zudem eine Katastrophe. Die Liegen um die Pools unter den Bäumen wirken wie Campingplatzidylle: Fazit: als Familienhotel mit kleinen Kindern ist es ein prima Hotel, wenn man beachtet das Strandkomport Geld kostet. Für Familien mit halberwachsenen Kindern ist das Hotel als Standort gut, um extern abends etwas zu unternehmen aber mit teuren Aufenthalten am Strand - Liegen und Balibett sind kostenintensiv. Als Hotel für Erwachsener sollte man dies alles, wie z. B. viele Netzhemden und Muscleshirttagende Männer oder wenige Zonen wo man einen geringen Hektiklevel hat, mögen.

Pros - ocean suite room was great, family friendly, easy for buggy around resort, quality of food (breakfast and restaurants), great choice of restaurants, polite and friendly staff, clean room and resort. Cons - no one helped with taking luggage from/to taxi on arrival or departure, there is a charge for most things and be prepared to be told about it constantly - swimming caps for indoor pool, mini golf, parking, sun beds based on location, games room. Overall great experience but I did feel the luxury of a 5 star in all areas of the hotel.

We had a two bedroom suite at the Residences. Hotel is beautiful but it is very spread out. To go to beach and main hotel building you need to take a shuttle which you may need to wait for 15-20 minutes. For a 5 star resort service was a bit spotty. We had a mishap at breakfast- was told we can do a la cart instead of buffet but ended up waiting for 1 hour to get eggs which was ridiculous. This hotel is also outside of Albufeira so location is not super convenient - you have to drive to town.

The Ocean suites are brilliant. Pools are lovely. Facilities, beach, surroundings grounds are idyllic. It is perfect for a holiday with kids - so much to do and areas to wander around. Felt very relaxing. Hotel staff are lovely and helpful. Downsides - not much variety for food and restaurants within the resort. Half of them closed or you can’t get a reservation. All of the kids food was covered in salt and not much variety or healthy options. Also the staff in the fine dining restaurants (particularly o pescador where we ate twice) are not as friendly or helpful and service is not 5 star quality. But staff at breakfast and the cafe and within the hotel/reception are very lovely and helpful. Overall I would return and felt like it was very good value for money.

Cockroaches, baratas, cucarachas! Whatever you call them, they got them at this place. We booked a two week stay at this property in April. After a few day we found roaches in the kitchen. We asked to move but were told that that they would do a thorough cleaning and this would solve the problem. They said the resort is in nature and we might find the same problem if we moved to another unit. After another few days the roaches appeared again. We insisted on moving this time. Even though we were told the new unit was ready for us to move into, when we got there there was a maintenance man repairing a number of problems in the unit. He repaired a number of the electrical fixtures in the unit, but later we discovered that there were more electrical issues. We phoned and asked to have these issues addressed but no one ever came. The location is beautiful, including the beach and the swimming pools. The units themselves are well decorated. The kitchens in the residences are small and the sparely equipped. One thing that was problematic with both units was the fact that the supplied teflon frying pans were heavily scratched. The management should realize that these are unhealthy for guests to use. The seals on the windows in the first unit we rented had failed and the windows were all fogged up. It was also noisy, being close to the road. Overall, not the best experience.

We stayed in a three bedroom residence. It was spacious, traditionally decorated and well appointed with a full kitchen and washing machine & tumble dryer. The grounds are beautifully looked after with lots of grass for kids to play on. There are plenty of beds and umbrellas around the pools with pool towels stations in multiple areas. The beach restaurant has a fantastic view. All food is excellent but as expected expensive. Drinks are also expensive. There is a little mini market at the Residences but instead of using this i recommend you walk to the supermarket opposite the entrance which is well stocked. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pine Cliffs and will be back again.

Reines Familienhotel mit entsprechenden Zielgruppen und Familienevents jeden Tag. Die Bars sind keine wirklichen Bars, auch wenn der Name dies vortäuschen soll. So wird in der Champagnerbar kein erleser Champagner genossen sondern vielmehr beim Bier mit Karten gespielt. O Pescador, PiriPri und Yakuza haben eine sehr gute Qualität. Das Hotel ist viel zu groß für die Anzahl an Menschen, die in die Pools wollen. Die Pools sind daher reine Kinderspielplätze. Das Maré Restaurant am Strand ist sehr gut. Aber nur die Balibetten auf dem Maré -253 EUR pro Tag - sind für ein nicht Ballermanngefühl die einziger Option. Unser Zimmer mit Blick auf den Golfplatz war sehr gut. Unser gebuchter und bestätigt Shuttlettansfer zum Flughafen ging schief und kam 25 Minuten zu spät. Der Fahrer war zudem eine Katastrophe. Die Liegen um die Pools unter den Bäumen wirken wie Campingplatzidylle: Fazit: als Familienhotel mit kleinen Kindern ist es ein prima Hotel, wenn man beachtet das Strandkomport Geld kostet. Für Familien mit halberwachsenen Kindern ist das Hotel als Standort gut, um extern abends etwas zu unternehmen aber mit teuren Aufenthalten am Strand - Liegen und Balibett sind kostenintensiv. Als Hotel für Erwachsener sollte man dies alles, wie z. B. viele Netzhemden und Muscleshirttagende Männer oder wenige Zonen wo man einen geringen Hektiklevel hat, mögen.

The rooms are very nice and quite new. We were positively impressed about it. However, we had an issue with heating system, the heating system did not work for our entire stay and the service was not able to fix it in one of our room. We were expecting the hotel to provide us another room but they never even mentioned this possibility. Because of that my kids slept on a cold room for 2 nights. Also at the check out moment, the hotel did not mention the situation. This is not a behavior that you expect from a 5 starts hotel.

We had a two bedroom suite at the Residences. Hotel is beautiful but it is very spread out. To go to beach and main hotel building you need to take a shuttle which you may need to wait for 15-20 minutes. For a 5 star resort service was a bit spotty. We had a mishap at breakfast- was told we can do a la cart instead of buffet but ended up waiting for 1 hour to get eggs which was ridiculous. This hotel is also outside of Albufeira so location is not super convenient - you have to drive to town.

Very friendly staff, we were made to feel instantly at home. Where we had issues with our room these were attended to straightaway. Grounds are beautiful and the walk around the resort was a pleasure. The beach is fantastic and picturesque.

Pine Cliffs is a beautiful property with excellent dining — every restaurant we visited delivered on food, service, and ambiance. Truly a highlight of the stay. That said, our overall experience was mixed. Check-in felt hectic and wasn’t especially accommodating for traveling with a small child, which set a challenging tone at the start. We stayed in the residences, and personally, I wouldn’t choose that option again. They felt far from the main amenities, inconvenient to access, and not as premium as expected. The indoor pool was a big plus and clearly popular, especially during an off-season stay. It made a difference for families needing an easy activity. This may have been influenced by traveling off-season, but when we return to this area, I’d likely choose a different property. A lovely resort in many ways, just not the right fit for us this time.

Reines Familienhotel mit entsprechenden Zielgruppen und Familienevents jeden Tag. Die Bars sind keine wirklichen Bars, auch wenn der Name dies vortäuschen soll. So wird in der Champagnerbar kein erleser Champagner genossen sondern vielmehr beim Bier mit Karten gespielt. O Pescador, PiriPri und Yakuza haben eine sehr gute Qualität. Das Hotel ist viel zu groß für die Anzahl an Menschen, die in die Pools wollen. Die Pools sind daher reine Kinderspielplätze. Das Maré Restaurant am Strand ist sehr gut. Aber nur die Balibetten auf dem Maré -253 EUR pro Tag - sind für ein nicht Ballermanngefühl die einziger Option. Unser Zimmer mit Blick auf den Golfplatz war sehr gut. Unser gebuchter und bestätigt Shuttlettansfer zum Flughafen ging schief und kam 25 Minuten zu spät. Der Fahrer war zudem eine Katastrophe. Die Liegen um die Pools unter den Bäumen wirken wie Campingplatzidylle: Fazit: als Familienhotel mit kleinen Kindern ist es ein prima Hotel, wenn man beachtet das Strandkomport Geld kostet. Für Familien mit halberwachsenen Kindern ist das Hotel als Standort gut, um extern abends etwas zu unternehmen aber mit teuren Aufenthalten am Strand - Liegen und Balibett sind kostenintensiv. Als Hotel für Erwachsener sollte man dies alles, wie z. B. viele Netzhemden und Muscleshirttagende Männer oder wenige Zonen wo man einen geringen Hektiklevel hat, mögen.

Ótima experiência, gostamos muito do hotel, limpeza da casa muito boa. Mas acredito que o serviço ao hóspede como recepção, guest services, concierge deveriam ser melhores para nivelar com o restante da hospedagem que foi ótima. Falta de funcionários para atender, concierge errou com a gente…Acho que poderia ser mais personalizado

Location
Scenic clifftop setting with a fantastic beach; outside central Albufeira but nearby towns are a short taxi or drive away. Some guests found beach access challenging and the property's scale means longer internal travel.

Pine Cliffs was incredible. The resort is stunning. We got engaged there, which was the highlight of our trip. The resort is close to nearby towns, hiking trails and attractions in Algarve. Everything is a short taxi away or they have a rental car service on the property. It was very convenient for our trip to Lagos. An ideal location in between everything with its own private beach. Staff was very friendly. It was warm and perfect beach weather in April. Did not have to pay for chairs on the beach. Be warned that it is a family resort with lots of kids. If you are going as a couple you may not be into that. I would stay there again. If you are looking for fresh fish, go off resort. All resort restaurants are over priced for catch of the day 120€ pp. If you go in town (Albufeira or to marina), catch of the day is 20€ pp and amazing food. The resort has a market on the Main Street, which is very handy for buying drinks, quick snacks or sunscreen. Bonvoy members: you cannot get points for your stay by booking through Expedia. I would recommend booking direct through Marriott.

We stayed in a three bedroom residence. It was spacious, traditionally decorated and well appointed with a full kitchen and washing machine & tumble dryer. The grounds are beautifully looked after with lots of grass for kids to play on. There are plenty of beds and umbrellas around the pools with pool towels stations in multiple areas. The beach restaurant has a fantastic view. All food is excellent but as expected expensive. Drinks are also expensive. There is a little mini market at the Residences but instead of using this i recommend you walk to the supermarket opposite the entrance which is well stocked. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pine Cliffs and will be back again.

Pros - ocean suite room was great, family friendly, easy for buggy around resort, quality of food (breakfast and restaurants), great choice of restaurants, polite and friendly staff, clean room and resort. Cons - no one helped with taking luggage from/to taxi on arrival or departure, there is a charge for most things and be prepared to be told about it constantly - swimming caps for indoor pool, mini golf, parking, sun beds based on location, games room. Overall great experience but I did feel the luxury of a 5 star in all areas of the hotel.

The Ocean suites are brilliant. Pools are lovely. Facilities, beach, surroundings grounds are idyllic. It is perfect for a holiday with kids - so much to do and areas to wander around. Felt very relaxing. Hotel staff are lovely and helpful. Downsides - not much variety for food and restaurants within the resort. Half of them closed or you can’t get a reservation. All of the kids food was covered in salt and not much variety or healthy options. Also the staff in the fine dining restaurants (particularly o pescador where we ate twice) are not as friendly or helpful and service is not 5 star quality. But staff at breakfast and the cafe and within the hotel/reception are very lovely and helpful. Overall I would return and felt like it was very good value for money.
