9.6/10 Exceptional! (112 reviews)
Pine Cliffs Gardens is a beautiful property. The grounds, gardens, beach and accommodations are lovely, and the resort itself has so much potential. Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was deplorable. The food was consistently poor, the service was unacceptable, and the prices were outrageous for the quality provided. We are happy to pay premium prices when the food and service justify it, but that simply wasn’t the case here. For a resort positioning itself at this level, the restaurants should be one of the highlights, not the biggest disappointment. The difference between the quality of the property and the quality of the dining experience is shocking. Beautiful resort, but the food, service and extremely high restaurant prices significantly impacted our stay. Until the dining experience improves, I could not rate Pine Cliffs Gardens more than 3 out of 5.
