Great stay

We had a lovely stay. Great suite with a kitchen. The fridge was broken before we got there and we’re given a minibar fridge instead and upgraded to half board rather than just breakfast. Breakfast was lovely and the evening dinner buffet changed the main meals every evening. The hotel and surroundings are quiet with great views over the river. The infinity pool is lovely and was never very busy. Only downside is that there was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and the bottled water wasn’t refreshed.

We stayed for 7 nights. It was the perfect location for us, as we used it as a base while visiting several Algarve locations. It was very quiet and private. The staff and facilities were excellent, especially the breakfast buffet, which is totally worth including when you book. We booked a Studio that had a kitchenette. We wouldn't get that room again, as we didn't really use the kitchenette and never was able to figure out the microwave/oven combo. We were provided a tea kettle upon request. Overall we loved staying at the Riverside Agua and would definite stay there again, only we'd probably stay in a different room.

Het hotel heeft nood aan een opknapbeurt. De schuiframen op onze junior suite schoven heel moeizaam. De ligbedden aan het zwembad hadden hun beste tijd gehad. Daags voor ons vertrek zijn deze wel vervangen door nieuwe. Personeel is heel vriendelijk en het ontbijt is heel goed. De ligging van het hotel is ideaal.
