We have just returned from a week at the Ria Park Garden Hotel. Overall we thought the hotel was lovely, however there were a couple of things we would like to mention. When we checked in we were told our room was in the 'new block'. The bellman helped us with our bags to what seemed like a room in a small villa across the road from the hotel! It was sparse and very unimaginative in decor! We were very disappointed and I explained to the Manager that we felt we were not part of the hotel and had we wanted a villa we would have booked one! He was very helpful and told us to return to the front desk later that afternoon. We were then given a lovely room over looking the pool and restaurant on the ground floor....decor lovely. We were booked on a B&B basis, but also had the evening buffet on two occasions.The food was excellent and restaurant staff were friendly, professional and efficient. Parking is free at the hotel but very limited. Kids club and Spa is 3 min walk away and very good. Spa looked amazing! Pool lovely and plenty of beds available. Great snack bar by pool. We would all definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights due to our flight being delayed. the rooms are nice and clean, the manager can be rude at times, the reception staff are excellent and the food was of a good standard for buffets, although there didnt appear to be much around the resort but spare ground.

Spent a week there with 3 young children, luckily they were happy to play in the pool all day which was lovely but not much else for them to do. The kids club was a 5 min walk away from the hotel!
hotel very clean with nice food but expensive. nice and quiet a very relaxing place to be.

I stayed in this hotel during my Easter Break. I went to Algarve several times so I know what to expect! All we wanted was a calm, friendly and pleasant place to rest a little from the work, and we got it! There is nothing to do in the area but there is a great atmosphere. I really recomend you have a car. Unfortunately the weather was cold and i couldn't enjoy the pool, mas it looked great. The breakfast was also good with plenty of choice, but I would really recomend you to wake up early unless you want the place to be overcrowded. I got a room with garden view on the 1st floor, and it was like a suite, with a huge balcony and confortable beds. For dinner or lunch i really recomend you to go to "forum algarve" wich is 10 min drive away from the hotel. i think the hotel worth the money you pay! Will return!
