My stay at Pine Lodge Resort had its ups and downs. The accommodations in the chalets were clean and spacious, making it a nice place to relax, especially after a long journey. However, I experienced some issues with the service during a group function, which was disappointing. The location is beautiful, with great outdoor activities and a kid-friendly play area. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a family getaway, but there are areas that could use improvement.

I had a mixed experience at Pine Lodge during my recent stay. While the facilities for kids were excellent and the overall property is appealing, I was disappointed by the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations. The service also had its ups and downs, which affected my overall experience. However, I would consider returning due to the attractive amenities for families.

The rooms were not ready upon our arrival and had a mouldy smell, which was uncomfortable. They were clean but felt a bit outdated, and the beds were extremely hard, making it difficult for a good night's sleep.

We had a wonderful time camping here with the family. The flat and spacious sites were well-equipped with electric points, while the on-site restaurant and pool added to our enjoyment. However, the cleanliness of the ablutions could use some improvement, and the proximity to the shore didn't offer a sea view. Overall, it's a fantastic place to relax or have fun with plenty of activities for all ages.

I had a mixed experience at Pine Lodge. On one hand, the rooms are very comfortable with lovely amenities, and the views are stunning. However, my stay was marred by noise from nearby parties that made it hard to relax, especially since I was hoping for a peaceful getaway. The management's lack of responsiveness regarding the noise was disappointing, which detracted from my overall experience.
