Service, location, facilities, standard of kitchen

Not all the restaurants were open

Comfortable, clean and modern

Charge for everything , way too many extra charges and killed the experience

Staff room, bed and linen. Breakfast although excessively priced.

Temperature in hotel lobby during poor weather.

Must can be said about this property and the potencial it has. A stunning location on one of Portugal's best beaches, huge grounds, golf fields, huge scattered pine trees and a true heritage feeling. At the ocean suites the bed and linens were great, typical high standard Marriott, providing amazing confort.The AC works fine, silently, as well as the bathroom ventilation.Room size is quite good and the overall design is ok.Breakfast food quality is good, not amazing.Cleanliness is very good, although I found a dead cockroach in the corner of the room.The resort is huge, there is always a serene silent place somewhere.

Now let me start by stating the high expectation I had for this property for the size, the fame and the longevity as supposedly one of Algarve's best resorts.Unfortunately I felt that so many things could be better that overall it was a letdown for the price. This is low season but the resort felt almost full.Regarding ocean suites, the newest part of the resort:- the halls decor is tasteless, mixing old and weird patterns, feels dated and boring.- breakfast facilities are in Colonial Garden in main building which is way small and just ugly. There are so many amazing Portuguese tiles I just don't understand the design options at all, the location is also terrible for a huge landscape like this, feels like a cramped corner place. With the amazing sea views of the resort aren't there any better places on the entire property? Not to mention the chairs are very high for the pairing table. I would completely close this space and change to a new one.- the spa. It is ok with several treatments and saunas but again the place seems cramped.- indoor pool. A huge renovation is in need. The struture is ok but new tiles or something interesting is in need for those colder days. Plus old rusty furniture around the pool is just not acceptable for this standard.- gym could get crowded, needs more space.- overall I felt the property needs a deep investment in uplifting almost all the central core facilities, the restaurants, the main outdodor square (terrible looking kids machines in the core of the square), the main pools, and overall better design everywhere with more attention to the details. It can be old but beautifull, not old, boring and even rusty. Marriott should consider a big name designer to rebirth this property. There is soo much space... The only part it really shines is in the sunset sea view bar which is great.

Staff & facilities excellent. Tonnes of acitivities on siteBeach access spectacular

I think the price the food too high.

Location close to beach nice staff a lot to do sports

All good Due to December a few restaurants closed

LocationCliffBeach

Food could be improved on. Ordered room service and the burger was not particularly nice.

Great location. Excellent staff

Drinks and restaurants are quite pricey

Location of the property next to Falesia beach. The views from the cliff top bars and the boardwalk route to the beach. Ocean suites were of a high standard. Decent gym and spa facilities.

Restaurants were dated and overpriced. After one night we went out for a better choice of restaurants.

Hotel is beautiful with lots of great pool options and close to fabulous beach.

Food very averageDisappointed about kids club. Expensive & my child was given phone to watch instead of anyone doing activities with her.

Ocean suites are beautifully presented, well equipped with lots of space for a family.

Reception tried to add on a credit when I checked in & when I queried & they eventually took that off they ended up charging me 40 euros more than the price I booked the stay through booking.com. Send an email but have not had a response. Disappointing ☹️

Great selection of pools and restaurants with some nice kids activities plus beach access was nice. The shaded grassy areas around the pools offer nice respite from the hot sun with great views over the sea. This was a really lovely area for our young kids to explore and run around and great for young babies. Mirador cliff side bar was stunning.The pool at the Residence / Casa Pine Cliffs was by far the best pool (especially for kids) and much warmer / modern than the hotel pool. Highly recommend. O’Grill restaurant offered wonderful food and views and represented the best value for money. Piri Piri stakehouse was fabulous with exceptional food and incredible staff (especially with young kids).The kids area was good but needed some love.Overall we had a great stay

We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed it - we will be coming back but three areas need improvement.Restaurants are overpriced which you expect at a resort but the additional suggested tip (on everything) of 10% is really cheeky. This should be removed. The beach is not a 5* hotel experience - 3* at best. Tightly packed sun loungers, no beach bed service and no food until midday is quite poor.The kids area needs some investment. Two slides and one set of swings isn’t enough for the size of resort. The trampolines were all locked away. The mini golf needs a lot of work.

Location, ocean

You have to fight for sun beds, there are not enough of them

Stunning location, choice of activities

Overpriced, with frequent glitches in service quality; good restaurants if you‘re willing to pay a hefty price, otherwise you get average food in walk-in spots on site

A very upmarket , lovely golf and sporting estate in Albufeira . Excellent and well maintained facilities . Friendly and helpful staff. Loved the restaurant right on the beach!

Food and beverages very expensive at all the on-site restaurants . Please be aware of the €75 daily utilities/breakage charge levied on your account per day plus the daily tourist levy.

10/10…this was the perfect sanctuary for wrapping up a month long trip through Portugal. Between the great restaurants,hiking, beach, bikes, pools, yoga and spa we did not need to leave. The setting was breathtaking, the rooms were well appointed and there were always more than enough lounges at the beach and pools. My morning run on the beach and through the trails was breathtaking. Lots of kids and families, but never felt overwhelming as we traveled as a couple without kids this time around. The fish stew at the seafood restaurant is a must try. My boyfriend could have had it all 4 nights we were there, but there were too many other good eating options within the resort. A must stay for sure and we will be back.

Been going for 18 years. So relaxing, never feels packed even when it is. Home fromHome

More restaurants could have been open

Beautiful place, nice and very clean. Beautiful and attentive staff.For sure we are back summer time.

Everything is amazing..
