Ria Park Hotel & Spa

We love this hotel. It’s a perfect location and you just know exactly what you’re going to get. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. It’s perfectly clean, smells fantastic and rooms are cleaned every day. Pool area is always lovely. The hotel left us a surprise bottle Of bubbly and cake for my husbands 50th which was a complete surprise! Lovely touch!

Upon arrival Jose [doorman] was quick to walk to our car, collect our bags & take us into reception - an impressive start. At reception the process was welcoming, prompt & professional. Our room was spacious, airy & with a decent side view of the sea. The en-suite was spacious, pristine clean, with a great power shower. The room was cleaned daily with an evening turnover if needed. Breakfast was buffer style & comprehensive in terms of options. The real star was Marta in the restaurant. Marta was "personal professionalism personified" - very welcoming, engaging, courteous & attentive - she should be commended. The pool & surrounding area was lovely - plenty of sun loungers with the option of shade or sun. A very enjoyable stay prompting us to return.

Outstanding staff ! Spacious rooms. Excellent air conditioning. Good room service. The on demand transport to the beach was extremely useful. The pool setting was pretty and the overall ambience was calm and restful although this was not high season.

Great location. Rooms were a little updated but exceptionally clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Lovely touch to leave a chocolate when beds were turned down. Good to hear the piano player in the lobby bar. The shuttle bus to and from the beach was amazing

Since the check-in we loved every minute of our stay. The staff was extremely professional and kind. The free shuttle available on request is a wonderful add which we didn't even need since the hotel is less than 10 minutes away from the most amazing beach. One day we walked to Vilamoura, it took us about 1 hour and it was amazing, so if you don't mind long walks along the beach we'd highly recommend it. The pool is fantastic, the room was sparkling clean, the whole building looks incredible, the neighborhood is super quiet, there's a free shuttle and you can request beach towels at any time. We were already very very happy with our stay but what really exceeded our expectations was the surprise birthday cake and sparkling wine we found when we got back to our room on the day of my birthday. We didn't even mention this in our booking or during the check-in so the fact that they noticed and arranged all that created a wonderful memory. Thank you so much to the staff of the Ria Park for one of the best holidays we ever had.
