10/10 Exceptional

This was our second year at Ria Park and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful (a special mention to the gentleman who chauffeured us to and from the beach, apologies I cannot remember his name). The rooms were clean - I was in a slightly updated room with a lovely big shower which was really nice and the balcony was just wonderful to sit on in our robes admiring the beautiful gardens. The breakfast was plentiful and we especially liked the Brut on offer. The pool area was very clean, the only downside to our holiday were the few days of noisy guests but this was not the hotel’s fault. The time of year also meant we didn’t really need to battle for sun beds. Overall we had a lovely stay and we will be back!

8/10 Very good

We've been coming to this area and driving past this hotel for about 35 years and decided to stay couple of nights before transferring to our timeshare at Quint do Lago. It's a nice hotel with great staff and pool but little else. There is a free on-demand minibus to the beach which is a big plus. We were about surprised to find that in a few places, the carpets were worn right through..Not what you'd expect from a 5* location. Breakfast was "OK" but lacked inspiration (and decent bacon!). Weirdly, other than the scrambled eggs, all the other types of eggs on offer were stone-cold even when apparent freshly served. We felt the restaurant menu was also lacking inspiration so ate at the beach or a neighbouring resort within walking distance. Probably a great hotel for groups of golfers
