Apartamentos Turisticos Pinhal Da Marina

Our second time staying at Pinhal da Marina. After years of doing AI we opted for a change and found Pinhal still gave us the pool for our son to make friends during the day on a decent sized development with tennis, football, playground etc but we didn’t have to listen to the daily entertainment or eat buffet style 3 times a day. The apartments are well equipped and very clean with daily maid service. We had a ground floor apartment which enjoyed a lovely terrace and extended into the peaceful grounds. We enjoyed the 15-20 min walk down to the marina every day to choose our evening meal and ate in some fantastic restaurants. To go further a field we used the Uber app which is seamless, taxi in seconds and very reasonable. My husband played golf 3 days at different clubs and was able to get some good recommendations for best places to shop and eat. Overall we had a great holiday and look forward to returning to Pinhal.

Clean apartments, the cleaning lady came each day and changed towels and cleaned our apartment. Toilet roll, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets were given complementary. Lovely staff. 15-20mins walk to the Marina , 10-15 mins walk to the Spar shop. Would definitely return.

Excellent base about a 15 minute walk into Vilamoura harbour, away from the crowds, went in half term week and no fight for the sun beds. Accommodation was clean, kitchen area was well stocked and staff were helpful and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay here.

We had a 3 night stay in a 2 bedroom apartment and it was great! Clean, quite modern (had read reviews saying it was all a bit dated? - not the apartment we had!) ... Lovely and quiet. Grateful we had a lift in our block as we were on the top floor! Comfortable and just what we needed. The restaurant next to the pool was nice enough (not too pricey - again had read somewhere that the prices were crazy? Didn't think so at all...) Pool was lovely, bit cold but refreshing when needed to cool down after being in 28c temperatures! Breakfast was nice, basic (continental) but just what we needed! The staff were warm & friendly - we felt very welcome. Happy to have stayed here, would recommend. Thanks!

Paid good money for a very very basic hotel/apartments, I expected more tbh. Paid an extra £10 for a garden view rather than the pool area, what a total rip off. Not a lot but the principle of charging extra when there were only about 8 other people staying in the premises of about 90 apartments!! 'Restaurant' - is a pool side cafe and bar, total rip off and charges double the prices of Vilamoura harbour where you'd expect higher prices! I mean, £40 for two pizzas to takeaway with drink (beer 6euros!) and then charge for the boxes for the pizzas! really? This is not a restaurant!!! I described this lace to my wife as 'Spain, 1st holiday in the 1980's' that's how everything is. Not great at all. Twin beds in a one-bed apartment? really? And small singles too!!!!! :( Terrible Breakfast (decent) - advertised as 8am onwards. On arrival we're told it's actually 830am which happened to be later than our pick-up time coming home so I mentioned this to Jet2 holidays who said you may miss a meal thats what happens. Well, we were 25mins from the airport and had a midday flight so did not need to be picked up 3.5hrs prior to this !! Jet2 not interested, Pinhal reception not interested. Oh well, lesson learnt fingers burnt. This place is too far from the Harbour if you have lack of mobility which we haven't, so be choosy in selecting this place.

Beautiful complex. Immaculately clean, lovely pools & staff. 20 minute stroll to the marina. Little bit of a hill going back but I managed it even with my sciatica. I have stayed in both the studios & pool view apartments which over look the lower pool which we prefer as its quieter & warmer. We have booked again for September as we love it so much here. Only negatives are no oven in the studios or one bedrooms & the on-site restaurant is a little pricey but the food & drinks were good. Little hint…. Seek out link & drink cocktail bar on your walk back from the marina….. Thank me later 😊

A good cheap holiday. Apartments clean and well equipped. We had a 2 bedroom and it had an oven, which doesn't seem to be the case in all rooms. Only gripe was the balcony (which was a good size) barely had any sun and I like to sunbathe whilst the teens wake up! Had 1 problem, which was sorted within the hour. The pools were good and plenty of space. We were self catering so didn't use the restaurant. The bar was small and basic. Ok for beers and coke around the pool but we wouldn't use it at night. The local area was nice enough, the hill wasn't too bad at all. There are several supermarkets within a 15 minute walk. Vilamoura was pricey- you're looking at England prices for food and drink.

A a lovely complex, very clean and quite. A little dated in the apartments but still fantastic value and the staff are very friendly. 20 minute walk from the marina. Loads of onsite parking as well, a couple of pools meaning you can stay away from the noise of the kids pool if you like.

The beds are comfortable, extremely clean. The staff are wonderful and very accommodating. The kitchenette has everything you will need. The grounds are well maintained. Room 2101 was very moldy smelling so we switched to room 7000, made a world of difference that’s why I gave it a five star, otherwise my rating would have been much lower.
