Ria Park Hotel & Spa

Simpatia do pessoal excelente! O serviço de shutle para a praia é retorno, é excelente. O pequeno almoço bom para um 5 estrelas, mas aquém de outros da mesma categoria. Mau é o ruído e comportamento dos hóspedes na piscina, sem nunca o pessoal do hotel ter colocado qualquer observação aos hóspedes incorrectos e mal educados. Nunca tinha presenciado tal situação em unidade de 5 estrelas.

Just a wonderful clean quiet well run hotel.A wonderful pool and area around it.From reception to cleaning to bar staff all very efficient and friendly. We have stayed here before and just choose to go there annually because we have never stayed anywhere that betters it.

Beautiful pool area.

We booked this as a last minute & weren’t sure what to expect. We rally liked the Ria Park, it was immaculately clean, breakfast was fresh and delicious with a great choice of food. The shuttle to the beach was excellent and always available. Given it was late July the were always beds at the pool and the hotel never felt crowded. Very peaceful. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return.

The hotel was nice and had a lovely pool. The breakfast had lots of choice but not great quality. The pool bar food was very expensive and again lacked quality. The cleaners were very loud in the morning between 8:30-9:30 every day and didn’t tidy away dirty plates/mugs. The turn down service was too early being between 4-5pm. However there was a complimentary shuttle service to the beach which was convenient. The hotel had a great table tennis and foosball table which was enjoyable. The area felt safe but you had to get a taxi if you wanted to go and explore further.

Clean spacious relaxed- really excellent swimming pool very well maintained. We dined in the restaurant 3 times- the food was very good. The service professional. Breakfast was a high standard and a wide choice. We used the adequate gym and booked massages.The grounds were pretty. Our room was perfect for the price and maidservice was excellent. My biggest gripe was lack of atmosphere in the evening. British cover songs ( Yes we can tell) don’t work. There was a pianist playing non atmospheric music a couple of times. I’ve come to Portugal and would prefer to hear Portuguese traditional music as a backdrop, and in the evening more of the same, or some background jazz suitable for the cocktail bar. It’s dead in the evening and I couldn’t see much being done about it. Happy hour? Canapés/ lanterns and candle light/ more sophisticated music/ better house wine…it’s not hard. Wine tasting evenings for an hour with local cheeses? A show if traditional Portuguese snacks? You might fill your restaurant more on the back of it? Anyway just ideas from my travels all over the world. I did have a good week overall many thanks. Ps- the shop which could be a goldmine selling traditional baskets pottery and Portuguese wares was pretty empty. I bought a glass bead bracelet from a choice of just 7. So now there are 6. Baffling. What a waste!

Our second stay at the Ria Park and my wife, daughters and myself enjoyed it tremendously once again. Comfortable rooms, great swimming pool, first class breakfast, super well equipped gym, great views, helpful staff and much more. Only one tiny thing lacking and that would be a coffee machine in the room.

Excellent breakfast!! Very great housekeeping and beautiful view. Pool is amazing.

Beautiful hotel with amazing pool, breakfast service and lovely clean rooms

Great property, wonderful daily breakfast & good room service options. Room was cleaned daily and pool / amenities were great.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Super clean, amazing service, great pools and food. Brilliant. Definintely going back!

This was our 8th stay at the Ria , and it still offers great value for money. Excellent location , easy walk to beach , and within a short drive to all the amazing restaurants in the area. We were in room 503 , which was clean and mainly good condition , although the bathroom needed a little bit of TLC , cracked grouting etc, however I noted that the rooms either side of us were being stripped down ready for some form of refurb, and as the hotel shuts for the winter on the 31st October , I assume now we have departed our room will also be stripped down for refurb.

Lovely clean hotel near to beach but also lovely grounds

Excellent breakfast!! Very great housekeeping and beautiful view. Pool is amazing.

Really nice hotel, clean and in a good location. The service is amazing and the staff are v good

We have stayed at the Ria Park since 2015 and have always loved it. The staff, facilities, food and cleanliness are excellent *****

Great stay. Clean, quiet, beautiful surroundings. Only wish there was water views from main/ground levels.

Beautiful hotel with amazing pool, breakfast service and lovely clean rooms

Beautiful hotel . But the bar beside the reception the noise that is can be heard in the actual hotel rooms . When you have an early start and the noise is still going on at 1am it is quite frustrating . The rooms are in a circular direction and the sound travelled the whole way through the hotel and we were on the the 5th floor ..

A very tired hotel, which is frankly just about hitting the lower end of being a 4 star hotel. The service is at a snail pace, and the staff all seem so miserable to be there. The rooms are old and are in need of an entire refresh. The beds are quite comfortable at least.

Hotel dated inside, needs updating, spa area poor. Rooms comfortable and spacious. Staff friendly and very helpful.

Lovely hotel. Nice comfort. A pleasant stay

Beds were exceptionally comfortable

Clean hotel. friendly staff. Lovely pool and garden area. Slightly dated overall. Good value.

Très bon hôtel au calme. Super petit déjeuner Literie très confortable Personnel très accueillant

Check in was not so smooth, there were issues with the room I payed online and to make the switch the process was shaky. Staff should be more prompt. The hotel rooms need a revamp for a 5 star resort but the pool area is really good!

Staff were fantastic - very attentive and quick with service. Beach a ltitle walk away but lots of beautiful houses on the walk.

Amazing property near beaches and restaurants. Staff are kind and helpful. Highly recommend

This was our 6th stay at Ria Park, a hotel we chose due to its location, walking distance to the beach, and with in a short distance of numerous restaurants. You can not fault the hotel for cleanliness, it appears that they are staff constantly cleaning. The buffet breakfast offers a good choice of hot and cold food, and there is the ability to order additional items. There are two negatives from this visit. Firstly the hotel appears to be attracting large party groups, which we’ve not witness on previous visits.The week we were there, we witnessed a number of large groups, who were freely being served alcohol by the bar staff, clearly these sort of groups bring in welcome income to the hotel especially in bar receipts, but the hotel staff and management have a duty to ensure that these parties do not spoil the holidays of the other guest. We witnessed a fight in the bar area which the bar staff did nothing to stop, and the reception staff also had a full view of this event, and choose to do nothing. I brought this to the attention of the duty manager at check out, but the only response I got was why did I not bring it to the managers attention when it happened! Despite as previously mention the duty manager having full view of this event. Secondly the hotel has a nice pool area, we were there late April so start of season, and the hotel wasn’t full. I noted 50 sunbeds stacked under covers, I`am not sure where these would fit without sitting on each other

Really nice hotel, clean and in a good location. The service is amazing and the staff are v good

We have stayed at the Ria Park since 2015 and have always loved it. The staff, facilities, food and cleanliness are excellent *****

Love the hotel and staff been going to Ria Park for many years and always enjoy seeing them and lovely that they also remember us and welcome us back hotel is delightfull

Marta was superb

Wonderful hotel, excellent breakfast. Beautiful poolside area, friendly staff. Love the location

Staff were fantastic - very attentive and quick with service. Beach a ltitle walk away but lots of beautiful houses on the walk.

Our experience was fantastic. The Ria is located in such a beautiful and safe area. We will return at our first opportunity.

Love the hotel, but you do need a car to go to restaurants and

Loved the location near to the beach and restaurant on the beach front.

Amazing property near beaches and restaurants. Staff are kind and helpful. Highly recommend

Beautiful property, beautiful location right next to the beach

Hotel ist placed within a hige Villa area. No Restaurants or facilities nearby. 15mins at least walk to beach.

Really enjoyed our stay, great hotel, would use same hotel again, beautiful location

If this were a 3 Stars hotel I would give them a better rating. However, the experience for been a 5 starts hotel is not complete. Room was pack of mosquitos and they switch us from the room to another. Hotel changers you £2 for every bottle of water, and 5 € for every 75cl of water its absurd to say that the hotel is 5 stars and pay extra for water. As well as the sunbeds at the beach, they charge you €25 per day for a couple of beds. Beach is all right. Great location, great service from staff. Good breakfast ( however no bananas or any fruit that I you can take for the day) good food for dinner.

Very nice, high-end hotel nestled in a tranquil upscale area with quiet surroundings. Impeccable quality all the way from check-in to room to dinner and breakfast. It's worth the stay if ever you're in the Almancil area of The Algarve.

Fantastisk frukost
