We arrived into Faro airport mid February, which is just a thirty minute drive from Pine Cliffs, A Luxury Collection Resort . With the weather and temperatures back home in the UK, we were not expecting to arrive to beautiful blue skies, lots of sun and temperatures in the high teens, that felt in the 20's during the daytime. It was cold in the morning before the sun came up and we needed a jumper at sunset, but it was perfect through the day. We were able to sunbathe and we caught the sun, but it wasn't quite warm enough to get us jumping in the cold sea. The kids did spend a bit of time in one of the many outdoor pools at the resort, but with so many other things to do, it wasn't a priority for this trip. Overall, Pine Cliffs Resort feels very private, safe and quiet. We visited during off season, so naturally it was quieter than it would be during peak season, but with it's size and layout, I can't imagine it ever feeling too busy. The entrance itself is a short drive or walk off the main road, after which you come to the entrance gates, where you will always find security standing. When you enter the huge grounds, it is like entering a large community or village, with different types of accommodation and attractions or services dotted throughout. The reception to the hotel is a short walk from the entrance. It took us a few days to get our bearings but reception will provide you with a map, so don't worry too much about this.

When we were planning this part of our Bali trip, we knew we wanted a change of pace. Ubud is known for its lush landscapes, rice fields, and slower rhythm, and we wanted somewhere that reflected that. Not just somewhere to sleep, but somewhere we could properly be for a few days. What drew us to Villa Lepak was the riverside, jungle setting. There is something about being surrounded by nature and near water that instantly changes how a place feels. It softens everything. We also loved the idea of a full service villa experience. When you are travelling with children, the balance between adventure and rest is important, and having that extra layer of support makes a huge difference.
