They have a Michelin 2 star restaurant, so expect to see suits and gowns if you do decide to dine there. (as a note--they have a discounted dinner rate for hotel customers, so definitely check it out!) We were greeted with a glass of champagne, and headed to our beautiful room. It had a gorgeous bathroom complete with a large hot tub. The bedroom doors opened onto a spacious private patio with a table, chairs, and two lounge areas. The view of the beach was breathtaking. The amenities were incredible--turndown service, TV with access to Netflix and youtube, Molton Brown toiletries. The buffet and made to order breakfast in the morning was superb and included with our package. The omelettes were divine, as were the multigrain croissants. Don't miss the mimosa bar--complete with various types of juice, ranging from beet/pear to mixed berry. Everything tasted so fresh! We also received phenomenal service during our breakfast, which we enjoyed on breakfast patio, with a beautiful view of the property and beach. Cannot wait to return and hopefully spend more time there!!

We visited each restaurant on the resort property and they were all fabulous. The gentleman who helped us find the right bottle of unique Portugal green wine to complement our meal was very informative and helpful. There's also a private pool for adults on the property which was very quiet and relaxing. The spa across the street was open to us because we have an elevated Hilton membership. We enjoyed the spa amenities there which were very nice and quiet. There is some construction being done at the spa, but it didn't bother us. They have a bus that can take you to the marina and or the beach. Ubers are available for quick trips back to places we enjoyed seeing. And there's a small grocery that's walking distance from the hotel.

Pine Cliffs is one of the top resort destinations in the Algarve. Centrally located in Albufera,…read morePine Cliffs is a sprawling compound that feels like a self-contained island unto itself. You could spend a week here without leaving campus and be perfectly happy, though its central location to both Lagos and Faro allows for day trips to visit the towns and partake in their outdoor experiences (kayaking, hiking, etc.). Rooms are large and clean, and restaurant options are myriad. There are so many things on offer, from high-end seafood and sushi to Indian cuisine. All are good, though none are truly great. Sunsets should be experienced from the Champaign Bar, overlooking the cliffs and sea below. Those looking for exercise will be impressed with the well-apportioned gym. Note that it seemed crowded throughout our 5-day resort stay. The resort also boasts plenty of leisure and athletic facilities. The 9-hole golf course is sufficiently challenging and includes a hole with a cliff-to-cliff canyon carry. Clubs and golf shoes (required) and available for rent. The driving range was somehow closed before our tee time because of its proximity to the soccer (football) fields and upcoming soccer (football) practice. These professional fields are prominently featured on the resort's website, but were used by a professional club and off-limits to resorts guests during my stay. (Note to the resort: do not trumpet facilities that are off-limits). The resort also includes tennis courts (two clay) and a basketball court. The only real drawback to the resort is that it is rotten with kids, from which adults simply cannot escape. My advice to the resort would be to designate at least one of the pools or restaurants as "adults only." As things currently stand, there is no place to escape the crying and enjoy a mid-day catnap.

There is a large rooftop pool where you can relax or do laps. Towels are available in the lobby for a 15€ deposit. There is also a small bar on the roof that you can enjoy in the afternoons. The hotel is near the d town so within easy walking of several historic sites. Checkout is at noon but they will let you stay til 2 if you need to.

Being on holiday one usually wants to try different restaurants without a repeat, but we actually went to Wax more than once because it was so good. The most important part, the food, soooo good. The fried lulas were oh so crispy and fresh. The black pasta was extremely flavorful, and had so much smoked salmon and shrimp. And the shrimp and smoked salmon sandwich was out of this world! Also, they have an ice cream shop by the entrance with several delicious flavors and generous portions. Besides the amazing food, drinks were delicious, and ambiance was fabulous. Upstairs they have several tables right on the beach, what else could you ask for?

I'll save you the unsavory details, but this was the worst I have ever seen. And I've seen my share of bodily fluids. Not that this could have been classified as "fluid". The food was good and didn't seem to have any affect on anybody's stomach. The smoothies though.... :( That was not pretty, ladies and gentlemen. Also sad because Wax was located across the street from our beach house and they're the only restaurant who takes visa. But after hours of writhing in pain and sleeping on bathroom floors, no one was attempting Wax again. Air conditioning + free wifi + great service + nice modern decor.. this should have been a 4-5 star experience for a restaurant on the Ria Formosa. But I can't let it slide that they either made those smoothies with old dairy, unwashed fruit, unclean hands or an unclean surface.
