Staff were so helpful and friendly. Villas were very comfortable. Only suggestion would be to provide some kitchen essentials such as wasing up liquid, cloth, dishwasher tablets, coffee and tea. Otherwise all was thought through.

The property was much bigger than we expected – very spacious and very clean. We loved having a garden and having the Pinewoods and green space so close by. The pool area was beautiful with a fantastic CAFE which was open all day. It’s a good walk into town or to the beach so be prepared with good shoes or Uber or Bolt app downloaded to your phone!

We arrived in March for a 4 day weekend so was lovely and quiet. Albufeira is only 5-10 mins away. Vilamoura is only 15mins away and cost us €15 with Uber. You can fit two cars in the garage and two cars on the drive way to. Great place to stay if you want to be further out of Albufeira town centre for the quiet but still close enough to go for the entertainment. Two pools are great to have but we had these to ourselves. Not sure how full the pools are during busy periods. Would recommend staying here again for another weekend trip.

We are a family of 5 & just couldn’t fault this place, it was big enough, spotless clean, everything about it was fab. The staff in reception were very welcoming & the restaurant was lovely for breakfast, lunch & dinner. They had everything we needed. Loved the pool area, kids had a great time. It’s about 20 minutes walk to the new town or around 40 minutes to old town or if lazy like us you can get a taxi from reception. Would highly recommend this place, especially if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle Of the town.

Will definitely be back
Wasn’t sure what to expect. We had a horrible experience at the airport, once we got to the hotel they told us “well your holiday begins now”. All the staff were fantastic, all polite and always had a smile. Reception organized everything we needed to make our villa toddler friendly and would organize taxis or trips to wherever we wished. Comfortable villas with lots of space and air conditioners in each room. Nice pool area and the splash pool was perfect for our toddler. The restaurant/bar stays open late(ish), staff were excellent, food was nice and reasonably priced, cocktails were tasty and on quiet nights the staff were a good laugh to chat to. We original only expected this to be a base to crash and a place to plan our days. We got to see a lot of Albufeira but spent more time relaxing here than we expected. Will definitely come back here again and would hesitate to recommend this place.

Great stay at Pinheiros
Great experience at the pinheiros hotel, people there were amazing and helpful at all times. The place itself was large and clean and the pool was awesome. Only thing we didn’t like was the smell in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Otherwise an A+ experience.

Property was nice and clean but beds are way too hard and sound echos around badly from neighbouring accommodation. Good location if you have a car to get to less touristy beaches.

Pinheiros da Balaia
Helpful staff with a cleaning service every day to change the towels, make the beds and empty the bins etc. Lovely pool area with a nice bar and restaurant on site. Our rental included a garage which was great and the complex is only a short drive from the main part of Albufeira. There are lots of beaches within a short drive but for families with young children there is also a really great playground nearby called the parque public Albufeira.

The complex was beautifully kept and the staff brilliant. The location was very quiet so suits those looking for a peaceful break away from the noise and busyness of everyday life.

Quality accommodation
High quality and well equipped 2 bed accommodation ideal for 4-6 people. The pool area is an ample size for the complex and the snack bar is very welcoming. The only draw back is the distance from the resort centre however it only costs between 4 and 6 Euros in a taxi to the bars or beach.

Great stay, would stay again
Lovely stay, great service all round. I would recommend a car as it's a little out of town but not far at all, but they have parking spots under the villas so you can park in safety and works out cheap for getting out and about.. Watching the sunset on the roof terrace at night was lovely, really nice feature of the properties.It's lovely and clean from the rooms to the pool - we really couldn't fault out stay.

Large apartment with plenty to like.
Lovely apartment in a quiet complex away from the bustle. The only downside is the hot water - which runs out before you have enough to use the jacuzzi bath!

Nice quiet resort
This is a very nice resort just outside the main area of Albufeira (five minute drive or 15-20 minute walk). It is also close to the less commercial areas of Olhos d'Agua and Acoteias (10 minute drive). While the resort has a view of the ocean, to get to a beach requires a short drive or a bit of a walk (20-25 minutes), however, the beaches we visited were quite beautiful and worth the effort. The location and amenities will appeal to couples and families. The rooms were spacious, well appointed and clean. Hard surface flooring, for us, added to the feeling of cleanliness, and the cleaning staff came in daily. The rooms have all the necessary amenities such as cooktop, oven microwave, dishwasher and clothes washer, as well as small countertop appliances. The grounds are well maintained and attractive, and there is a pool with a restaurant and bar. The food in the restaurant is quite good, though a bit more expensive than some of the local restaurants and the food is generic rather than local in nature. The staff were friendly and helpful and made an effort to ensure our stay was pleasant. This location was a good base for us to explore the Algarve area with day trips by car. There are also coach tours of the area available which can be arranged by the resort staff. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely go back.

Family Holiday
Lovely villa, clean, comfortable and has all amenities. TV channels poor, and had a few maintenance issues, but these were sorted immediately. It's a bit of a walk, 30 mins to beach and bars but taxis cheap.
