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.

Ria Park Hotel & Spa was a great choice for us. It had all the facilities we needed as a young family and was literally a short walk away from the beach which was one of the main reasons we booked with Ria. A special mention also for Ria kids club for keeping our son well entertained. Would happily recommend Ria, their staff were also very helpful and friendly. Thank you.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent facilities, staff very helpful. Close to beach but need to take the shuttle bus to go down to the beach about 5 mins journey. Only downside is that you have to pay to hire the hotels sun beds for half a day/ full day which is an unnecessary expense.

Service was good. Breakfast was the only downfall. The food was cold for the 3 days we were there and for a 5* hotel I would have expected better. Good from the restaurant however was fantastic and the front desk were very accommodating and lovely.
