Podgriva Vacations

good rooms for the price. top view at Rio is a must. Vale services were courteous and fast.

The pluses: The lady at the check-in desk was absolutely fantastic. I wish I got her name to give her proper recognition. Pool was great and so were poolside staff. Room was clean. Starbucks coffee available at Viva cafe. The minuses: They try to upsell you to buy a timeshare as soon as you’re checked in. “Free breakfast and comps”. Canceling the presentation was easy, at least. 3 contacts required to get missing TV remote. Barry Manilow concert cut in half due to “computer problems”. Concert was the reason we travelled there in the first place. Room smelled like smoke on and off. Maybe from the room next to us smoking illegally. I should’ve complained but I didn’t.

Amazing easy check in process!!

This place is a dump. The rooms are ratty. We checked in and our air conditioning did not work and water was backed up in the sink. We went to the front desk and told them and checked out. They said they entered our concerns in the system. We tried to get a refund through Expedia. Expedia called the location and said they would not refund because we did not call engineering. We actually went downstairs and told the person at the front desk. They entered our concerns, but the staff on the phone with Expedia said they had no notes and disconnected the call. This place is shabby at best. The staff does not care and honestly some of the guests we saw there were questionable at best. Much better places to stay.
