Lovely hotel and staff, the pool was a little cold other than that everything spot on. A lively beach a short walk with beautiful white sands and restaurants and bars. The breakfast was pretty amazing too. Highly recommend
Just a wonderful clean quiet well run hotel.A wonderful pool and area around it.From reception to cleaning to bar staff all very efficient and friendly. We have stayed here before and just choose to go there annually because we have never stayed anywhere that betters it.
Love the hotel and staff been going to Ria Park for many years and always enjoy seeing them and lovely that they also remember us and welcome us back hotel is delightfull
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
Check in was not so smooth, there were issues with the room I payed online and to make the switch the process was shaky. Staff should be more prompt. The hotel rooms need a revamp for a 5 star resort but the pool area is really good!
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.
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.
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.
If this were a 3 Stars hotel I would give them a better rating. However, the experience for been a 5 starts hotel is not complete.
Room was pack of mosquitos and they switch us from the room to another. Hotel changers you £2 for every bottle of water, and 5 € for every 75cl of water its absurd to say that the hotel is 5 stars and pay extra for water.
As well as the sunbeds at the beach, they charge you €25 per day for a couple of beds. Beach is all right. Great location, great service from staff. Good breakfast ( however no bananas or any fruit that I you can take for the day) good food for dinner.
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.
