Inadequate staffing, room bathroom was not properly cleaned. Best part of this hotel was the rec room and convenient parking in front.

Perfect hotel for families. Lovely warm and quiet pool, fun games room, hotel felt very safe for a pre-teen to have a bit of independence, big grassy area for playing cricket etc, wetsuit dip & drying room. Brilliant to have surf lessons including transport organised by hotel, but only private lessons for under 12s. 10 mins walk to beach. Great breakfast, lots of choice, but lunch & dinner only ok - felt expensive for what it was, but lots of other food options nearby.

The room cost was way high for this country and for the amenities and the room was small and bed was quite uncomfortable. My companion and I both did not sleep well. Also, breakfast was not included which was outrageous considering the cost of the room!

Really nice clean site with excellent facilities. Didn’t find staff especially friendly or helpful though.

I've never been to hotel with so much fun modern art and physical activities available.

This hotel was fantastic. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. We will hopefully be able to return next year. Highly recommend if your kids (or you!) like skateboarding and surfing. Our kids took two private lessons, and they loved it!

Couldn’t be happier with the service outside of the one staff member (maybe maintenance) who we overhead saying ‘typical tourists’ after asking for an iron. Outside of that the staff was amazing and the comfort of the hotel was so nice we extended our stay by an extra night.

Fantastic quirky boutique hotel that I am sure is a great hit with teenage surfers, We are a little older, dont surf and it was "out of seaon" but staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful,

Relatively basic but great hotel, especially for sports activities - like the name implies! Most staff very friendly. I'd like to mention Vitor at the front desk specifically, who was super nice and welcoming. Heated pool a big plus, great gym for hotel standards, a small spa, with a sauna to keep you warm on winter days after surfing. Quite simple, but awesome breakfast! A slight drawback is the cheap, synthetic (head) pillow in the bed. All in all, great value for money, at a great location for Baleal beach!

Super amenities and very nice staff.................

So, this stay has prompted me to HAVE TO leave a review for the first time ever for a hotel. Attention to detail: unreal. (And I’m a double virgo so this high praise really is difficult to elicit from me) Staff Attentiveness: this is where ‘personal touch’ is a vast understatement. The interaction wIth EVERYONE working here was like meeting new friends and carried a genuine authenticity unmatched in my travels (which have been extensive in the last 3 years) anywhere on the planet. Restaurant: top cuisine at better than good prices and unbeatable service. Amenities: the sauna / spa area is incredible, outside there’s a climbing wall /skate park / pool, inside theres a amazing game room with table tennis, pool table, air hockey, foosball, and 2 arcade games. I extended our stay an extra 2 days because we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave and plan to return and bring family/extended family to stay in the future. For those reading this: If you happen to find yourself in this magical gorgeous location of breathtaking coastal topography and total surf paradise, do yourself a favor, and forgo further searching; this should be your accommodation. Period. Extra Special thanks to Anita, Paris & the entire phenomenal kitchen staff.

Amazing place. Came with my husband six kids in their 20’s and one teenager. Every single one of us loved it!!!!! My only criticisms are that The top bunk beds are very hard to manuever so would not recommend them for adults or older teens even. They didnt have side bars so i think they would be unsafe for little kids as well. Also the climbing wall was unsafe. The holds were not secured well and there were no mats underneath the wall. Otherwise RIDE is an exciting fun place with great sports equipment great biking and surfing. Fabulous game room , heated pool, and the friendliest staff!!
