really great staff.

Great hotel, kind staff. Great location to relax.

Electric kettle in the room

great location, friendly staff

our room was noisy due ventilation system of the kitchen

location, room, view, facilities

dinner menu can be a bit more enriched

Very peaceful. Very helpful staff. Dog friendly. Ground floor room with easy access to the grounds. Breakfast/restaurant terrace has great setting looking over the lagoon. Treated to a fly past of a long line of flamingos on our last morning whilst having breakfast.

Outside space a little jaded.

location

Small bathroom. Room outside building. Poor breakfast

The location. Staff were very friendly. The view of the ria and watching the fish feeding.

It was not obvious on the site that you need to use a ferry to get from Aveira or a 50 minute drive. Restaurant staff were very friendly but a bit hit and miss.

The beutifall view and stay on the ocean The location The potential.of the hotel is right

One of the rooms was with bed smelling Some of things need to be cleaned and restructure

- Wonderful location, make sure to take a room with the lagoon view. - Very helpful staff, we also got many tips on what to do in the area. - Modern and nice room (we had one of the new rooms)

- Breakfast was good, for a longer stay it was only lacking a bit of diversity. - Noisy ventilation outside of our room.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful location. Very clean. Well maintained building and grounds. Enjoyed buffet breakfasts.

A slightly larger choice with the evening menu would have been good.

This is truly one of the most beautiful houses we have ever stayed in. The friendliness of everyone on site is incredible. You feel better than at home! The breakfast is beyond words, the location is great, secluded, quiet and very relaxing. We are very happy to come back. thank you very much for the nice time

exceptionel location

Nice staff from entrance to departure. Breakfast on the terrace with spectacular views of the sea.

We never had the chance to get drinks at the bar as there was nobody to serve!! Mosquito net was damaged so we had friends every night, shame

Hotel view, nicely located in front of the water with great common rooms.

Air condition loud and largely ineffective, no ventilation in the bath room and very disappointing coffee quality for breakfast.

The location was great. The service was very good. Friendly and super helpful staff. We did not have the water view from our room but the estuary is very beautiful. The hotel is a short distance from many spectacular beaches.

Our room was clean but had a rather offensive musty smell. The bathroom was nice but the shower partition was inadequate and it was difficult not to get the bathroom wet while showering. The hotel is charming and old fashioned but also a bit dated. They could definitely upgrade the facilities.

A wonderful hotel in a fabulous setting with spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Like something from 1970's Zimbabwe (design wise), in a good way! The staff were attentive, really efficient and genuinely nice. They went out of their way to help us organise a boat trip in the lagoon. I could spend days by the pool overlooking the water of the lagoon and watching the local fishermen go by in their traditional boats. A truly relaxing spot.

Bathrooms could do with an update. As could the spirits behind the bar!!

We had a wonderful holiday at Pousada Ria. The reception staff (Senhor Jose, in particular) were so helpful and kind, made arrangements for us to have the Covid tests more easily / nearby and gave us interesting information about the local area. Our room was cleaned immaculately every day and we felt very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful, with very tasty fresh breads, good variety of dishes and nice staff who brought the food very quickly. The lagoon views from the restaurant and our balcony were lovely and tranquil. Overall, we had a most pleasant and relaxing stay at your hotel, after a difficult year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, Pousada Ria!

We liked everything.

The location and amenities

The mold in the shower, and old smelling rooms.

Location. Fantastic!!

Amazing location - very quiet and peaceful. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Spacious rooms with large, comfortable beds and stunning views.

The location is lovely, on the water, and the building is beautifully designed with elegant interiors. Worth planning your route to the hotel, either take the ferry from Aveiro which goes every hour or so, otherwise it's a 40 minute drive. It's a quiet place in a nature reserve, everything is clean and comfortable, our room had a balcony looking straight out over the water. Staff are helpful and friendly. Bicycles available and it was pleasant to cycle along by the lake. Good swimming pool.

Breakfast was really bad, the fruit salad was fine, but bacon (possibly tinned), eggs, coffee (instant?) and orange juice (packaged) all very poor. The staff are friendly and helpful, one night we ate in the lovely but empty dining room, I think the chef does not exist and the waiter heats the food up. The dining room should have been busy catering to guests and locals too, the breakfast is an awful advertisement. Pestana should make use of this wonderful room so that it has some atmosphere and good food.
