Claire
Visited July 2019Thank you Health and Fitness Travel for recommending and booking my holiday! I loved my Fusion Fitness programme and all personal trainers and instructors. They were all very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The same can be said about all other members of staff in Pine Cliffs, from Reception to Maintenance. The coastal views and the scenery are simply stunning and I particularly enjoyed spending time in the relaxation areas. Tip: Take a Yoga mat to the beach and don’t miss out on the sunset stretch.
Highs
- The sporting facilities on offer are extensive.
- From fresh fish and gourmet steaks to themed buffets you are spoilt for choice over where to dine.
- The resort was awarded ‘Europe’s leading Family Resort 2016 at the World Travel Awards.
- The kids club ‘Porto Pirata Children’s Village’ is an astonishing 7000sqm
- If parents, individuals and couples are looking for a blissful, luxury escape, then they need look no further than the Serenity Spa, described as ‘The Art of Wellbeing’.
- The immaculate Pine Cliffs Golf Course overlooks the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Lows
- The complex is very large, which is fine if you don’t mind a little stroll in the sun, but can be difficult to navigate at first.
- There is a 30 Euro charge per day for use of the thermal area in the spa.
- The beach is beautiful, but unfortunately not private.
- Only one of the pools is climatized.
