Fantastic
Pros:

we have done extensive travel and the value for what you get at the Agua was unparalleled. From the size of the room which includes kitchenette to the inclusive breakfast we can't say enough. Staff were great and the spa staff provide a message for both me and my wife that were as good as we have ever had.

Cons:

If we had to pick something the bed pillows were very small compared to what we are used to.

Lovely hotel for your stay in the beautiful Algarve
Pros:

Lovely modern hotel located along the charming, calm and scenic Arade River in Algarve, just outside the busier parts of Ferragudo. Staff were very welcoming and the rooms were of a nice size. The buffet breakfast is plentiful as is the buffet dinner. There is a small gym, indoor pool and spa, as well as an outdoor poor just besides the river. A bolt or uber ride to the busier Portimao centre costs less than 10 euro (6 mins drive) and you can even walk it in about 40 mins.

Cons:

Although a kettle is provided within the room, only tea options are provided...... so you need to ask for coffee. Otherwise all was great.
