I had a short stay at Pin High for a golf trip, and it was an excellent experience. The meals and drinks were inclusive, and I found the restaurant's kitchen to be outstanding with delicious food options. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the whole ambiance was simply wonderful. However, I did hear some mixed experiences from others regarding service on busy nights, which is something to consider if you're visiting during peak seasons.
