As a family of 5 we had a superb holiday at the Ocean suites. We had a ground floor apartment with garden and pool access which worked really well. We’d definately go back. The only criticism I have are the hedges around garden were in need of trim and cutting back as too overgrown and all food options were quite expensive, although we found a great Italian just outside Pine Cliffs on main road. A great place overall, we would highly recommend.

Nice location but with some service issue

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Family resort

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.

This is a huge property with many activities available on-site for families of all ages to enjoy. The rooms are generous in size although the in-room amenities (like towels and coffee pods) were only sporatically supplied. We visited in the brief window of Portugal being a "green" country for the UK, so the hotel was still in the process of gearing up for such large crowds and the lack of staff was felt in certain areas. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant, for instance, was a zoo and best avoided. In general, the wait for any food and drink service was excessive, but at least the guests had a beautiful environment and lovely weather in which to wait. I would return.

Fab resort but needs better management

The resort is excellent, technically a small village. Great cliffs, beach and with plenty of greens. The rooms are comfy and large enough.
Main problem in this visit was the resort wasnt built to cope with so many people.It was packed and was almost impossible to get a table in any of the restaurants. I felt really sorry for the waiters who were running around like headless chicken to meet the demand. The breakfast que remind me of communist era people queing to buy simple goods. It was clear the number of facilisties didnt meet the demand to some extent due to understaffing. Another issue was reception staff, many struggled with english and we were given wrong information on few occasions.

This place was far too busy. It did not have sufficient sun loungers. They charged 90 Euro’s for a sun lounger in the beach. Food in restaurants was poor except for the Japanese restaurant. One to be avoided

Amazing stay

What an amazing resort! The staff were lovely. They catered to our every need. The room (which we upgraded upon arrival for a fee) was clean, modern and comfortable. There was an issue with the bathroom sliding door but was fixed within 10minutes. Room service, although pricy, was great. The beach is amazing and only 5 minutes from the Ocean Suites resort.

The spa is great! Prices are on the high side.

Only thing that can be slightly improved is the breakfast. Although there was variety, it isn't the best breakfast I've ever had. And a long walk away! But that's being picky.

Large quiet room with a view of the pool and golf course. The walk to the beach and the sunset over the cliffs are breathtaking. However, we were surprised to see that the private beach was so cramped. Also, the food was very expensive and not very good compared to local restaurants.

Let me first start by saying that there is no doubt that the property is beautiful and that the facilities are consistent with what you would expect from a luxury resort. However, the staff is inattentive and scarce. Additionally the food prices at the resort are almost 5x-8x higher than even the highest-end luxury restaurants in Portugal. We had dinner for 4 at the piri piri steak house and spent nearly 460 euros. Having spent time in Lisbon and Porto before our arrival, we had become well-versed with the expected prices in Portugal; and there is no other way to say it, the food at the resort is a rip off! Had the food been something spectacular I would not have cared as much, but the food is mediocre at best. My feeling is that it’s a good place to stay and relax but do not buy anything from there. Another example is the 50 euro bottle of sunscreen I bought from the pharmacy there. As I said, buy nothing from there!
