Welcome Upgrade

We actually stayed at the Ria Park Hotel & Spa - an upgrade offered by The Ria Park Garden Hotel - and accepted willingly. Slightly disappointed that our room wasn't upgraded as the hotel was very quiet and I had informed them that it was our anniversary. Having said that, we had a lovely stay and the service from all staff was generally excellent. Housekeeping was a little random!

Hotel staff were amazing. I arrived at the beach hotel, I was booked in at garden side. They promptly took me to the right one. Ordered room service. Was plentiful and quick. They have a beach shuttle service and towels at the beach. Only thing I had to pay for sun lounger but the lovely boy at the beach let me pay for half day as I was there that long. Overall I would stay again.

The hotel was a bit confusing to get to. It is however located in an upscale area of the Algarvae region. The hotel seems a bit dated for the amount charged. The rooms are simple, i.e no frills. Not what I had expected for the cost. The breakfast was very good as well as the food at the restaurant. Concierge was very attentive. Overall, it was a decent experience leaving me a bit underwhelmed

Es ist ein sehr schönes Hotel in einer sehr guten Wohngegend. Der Weg zum Strand ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar, man kann aber auch den Hotel-Shuttle nehmen. Am Strand gibt es mehrere Restaurants. Ansonsten hat man keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Ein Auto ist ratsam, wie überall hier in der Gegend. Das Hotel ist sauber und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Sehr schöne Poolanlage.

It was a really nice, family friendly hotel that looked after us very well. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downsides were the slightly isolated location that meant we had to taxi it to all of the local restaurants and the lack of a suitable evening option for children in the hotel restaurant.
