Pleasant stay.
Pros:

Lovely pool area.
Comfy beds and good shower.
Friendly staff.
East access to beach.

Cons:

Decor dated.
Lacks the luxuries you expect in 5* hotel… no coffee machines in room, water not replenished during the stay, no conditioner in room and towels well worn.

Great location. Lovely staff. Would recommend, we will be back!
Pros:

The pool area was nice. Nice to have bar cafe close by. Nice although small gym. Handy location. Breakfast was good. Good variety and food always fresh.

Cons:

Not enough shade around the pool and some of the umbrellas were a little tired. Could do with pool side ordering. We had to remind reception for staff to refill our water daily.

We had a very pleasant stay and worked around the problems
Pros:

Breakfast was very good, as was pool although a toilet is necessary in pool area rather than having to go up a level and there is no wheelchair access to pool restaurant

Cons:

Shower in accessible bathroom needs more hand rails near the shower head and more non slip mats, had to provide my own to avoid slipping as I have mobility issues,l

High quality hotel nestled between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo.
Pros:

Very good location in a rapidly developing area, a short walk from a beautiful beach and some great restaurants. The staff were all super friendly and seemingly no request was any bother. The outdoor pool felt like an oasis and it offered plenty of space for guests who wanted a swim as well as just lounging in the sunshine. The manicured gardens with palms, ornamental banana and cycads made the environment feel very exotic. The outside dining area is a relaxed, spacious area, where guests can enjoy sunshine or shade, and cared for by attentive staff. The rooms are well appointed and spotlessly clean, with a fantastic shower. Small but adequate balcony with great views over a nature reserve and the sea. Plenty of free off-street parking.

Cons:

The breakfast was very generous with a wide variety of options both hot and cold, but I think the selection of fruits available could have been mixed up a little, considering what’s available from local suppliers. After a week, it stared to feel a little repetitive. While the pastries are an international staple, these were not great quality. Also, we missed pastel de nata - come on guys, we’re in Portugal!

As usual we felt very welcome and comfortable at the Ria Park.
Pros:

We like most things about the Ria Park and that's why we have had several stays there. The staff are always very kind and helpful, the breakfast is great, the pool and the gardens are delightful. As an added bonus to me the gym is very well equipped and generally well maintained.

Cons:

No complaints from us.
