Apartamentos Turisticos Pinhal Da Marina

Food in restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced. Resort was in nice grounds and very quiet. Apartments were basic but spacious and clean. Beds comfortable! Took 20mins to walk to Villamoura. Closest mini supermarket only 10 mins away.

The site is set in its own grounds and made up of various blocks of apartments of different sizes, a reception/office building, a bar and restaurant area, children’s play area and two pools spread around well manicured grounds. Twice during our stay we had a meal in the restaurant (you need to book in advance) The food, drink and service on both occasions was excellent and the value for money very good. As you would expect you will pay more in the many restaurants situated around the marina. There is plenty of parking for those that choose to have a car as part of their holiday arrangements. We were there in early season so it was very quiet and getting a sun bed by the pool was not a problem; it may be more difficult in peak season. The walk into Vilamoura takes about 15 minutes where there are supermarkets, shops and many restaurants. We had an apartment for two people which was spacious and comfortable with a good size kitchen area, clean modern bathroom and the studio style sleeping/living area. All apartments on the ground floor have outside seating areas and on other floors balconies. Ours had a small table and 2 chairs and 2 sun beds.

The staff are super friendly and accommodating. We travelled with our 1yr old they are definitely used to kids being around. Love the location, a short walk to amenities and marina. I know some people mentioned the hill but it's really nothing and we did everyday with a buggy. Breakfast was grand, enough options. It has two beautifully kept pools one by the restaurant and one tucked away and quieter. The room and all areas are kept very clean. The restaurant menu is small but what we ordered was lovely. We would stay here again.

Lovely quiet relaxing location stayed in a spacious one bedroom self catering apartment with garden view which was cleaned daily. Good sized kitchen. Loved the smaller pool which was quieter and a lovely sun trap, the larger pool is next to the bar and a bit busier. Less than a 10 min walk to the Marina. Walking distance to the local Spa supermarket. Lots of fabulous restaurants around the Marina and surrounding area.

Pools were great, kids pool is perfect depth, larger one beside it was little chilly at times but enjoyable. No major hassle for beds etc, everyone seemed very easy going and relaxed vibes in the resort which was lovely and great for the kids. Apartment was well resourced in terms of dishwasher, hob, Delf etc, two single beds and cot were perfect and comfy for the kids. Resort is honestly very close to Marina/vilamoura roundabouts so we cycled/ran each day comfortably, although the hill back up as mentioned by many is a bit of a kicker! We will def look to stay here again although we will request a newer/modern apartment as we felt 2303 was dated and could do with some brightening up.
