Plussat: Breakfast was amazing! Dinners in both restaurants was excellent. Expensive though! Accommodation was comfortable and we were well looked after.

Miinukset: The weather! Otherwise very good

Plussat: The genuine, friendly staff. The fantastic atmosphere - the beautiful grounds which are immaculate and the wonderful facilities. They really want you to have a special experience and remember your stay. I loved everything about this hotel and the people who work there.

Plussat: Amazing, friendly staff. Delicious food, beautiful and clean room

Plussat: Everything!! Most exclusive hotel. 5 + star. 13 rooms including 4 suites Amazing 6 course meal with wine pairing Celebrated 40th Wedding Anniversary

Miinukset: Nothing, but bring your wallet.

Plussat: Everything was Fabulous. Its pricey when you’re paying with $A but the experience was worth it. Beautiful spacious room with small balcony & view of ocean. So much storage. Super comfy bed. Lovely grounds & heated pool with easy access to beach. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful. Welcome champagne an unexpected pleasure. Dinner in the restaurant was superb (although thought wine pairing a little expensive in comparison). Lovely breakfast on the terrace.

Miinukset: Having to leave

Plussat: Perfect location for getting everywhere. The quality of service and friendliness of staff is second to none.

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind.

Miinukset: Perfect location

Plussat: The hotel was well positioned for "The Strip" where there was lots of restaurants and bars. The Old Town was 15 to 20 minute walk away. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with equipment and linen.

Miinukset: The hotel entertainment was good for the limited audience that was there while we stayed.

Plussat: This hotel is spotlessly clean. I’m quite fussy about cleanliness and the Tui Blue exceeded my expectations. The rooms are spacious and comfy and the staff are friendly and helpful. The place is nice and quiet perfect for a relaxing and quiet holiday. Only thing to note is that this place is definitely for the older clientele. I’m in my 30s and most people were probably in their 50s.

Miinukset: The choice of places to eat is quite limited. The buffet food started to seem a bit samey after day 2. On the last day of my holiday, it was raining and I slipped and fell by the pool and grazed my arm quite badly on a texturised pillar. Almost a month on I still have the scars. Tea, coffee and water in the room is only replenished every 3 days.

Plussat: Everything.food eas amazing.serviced and personal touch.

Miinukset: Nothing.all was everything perfect

Plussat: Everything! The staff were amazing and so was the food

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Big hotel with many useful facilities on-site (pool, sauna, spa, access to the nearby beach, parking, etc.). Very nice variety in terms of food (especially dinner).

Miinukset: Lacking attention to details, when it came to a simple request at the reception. Only several attempts later and after many hours they managed to fulfill it.

Plussat: The cliffs are beautiful

Miinukset: Way to many people Beach over crowded and not enough beach chairs or Umbrellas.

Plussat: + great facilities + friendly staff + beautiful beach

Miinukset: - The 'in-site' restaurants are expensive for Portugal. Much much cheaper outside the facility

Miinukset: Lots and lots of very young families with strollers and babies.

Plussat: The location!

Miinukset: The service standard is worse and worse every year, especially the restaurants

Plussat: My stay at Pine Cliffs was absolutely perfect. We stayed in a ocean suite with two bedrooms overlooking a small square. The rooms were spotless, beautiful and quiet. Cleaning ladies did an amazing job; they really went the extra mile. More about the property. The garden is super relaxing. I loved to relax underneath the trees in the garden, while overlooking the sea and hearing the crickets in the background. This may be one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I have ever been in the world. Although the hotel can host many people, it still feels personal as there are many people working at all facilities at the hotel. Also, I love to exercise which I was able to do in many different ways at the property. I joined a yoga class which was amazing outside in the garden, went swimming in the indoors pool, went for a run on the beach, and exercised in the gym. It is all possible at Pine Cliffs! It was a very relaxing stay and we will definitely come back!

Miinukset: It is a 5 star resort, which makes is logical that restaurant prices are in that genre. However, then I also expect high quality which the hotel unfortunately is not able to deliver in all outlets. We went for dinner in the Pescador and in a more cafe style restaurant (I forgot the name). And prices are more than double the prices of restaurants outside the hotel, but the quality of food is not that much better, unfortunately. For example, in the Pescador I order a raw tuna steak and got it very well done. We also ordered a Sole (45€) and it was extremely salty and not very tasty. We mentioned it to the waiters but nothing really happened (expect the tuna they wanted to redo but I do not like to waste food). On a more positive note: the champagne bar had the best views at sunset and drinks: a must visit!!

Plussat: Very good location of the hotel. Fantastic place. The hotel is very new and very comfortable.

Miinukset: The ocean was very cold in October (about 13-14 degrees), the water in hotel's swimming pools were also very cold (about 17-18 degrees). But it wasn't fault of the hotel. Its just an advise for travelers.

Miinukset: The Japanese restaurant was closed. Low season? But the golf course charges fees as part of high season! The shower design allows water to collect outside the door as there is no seal or lip to prevent it from pooling outside. Soap dish is for hand washing is not in a good place as you drip water outside the hand basin to the small soap dish.
