This is not a 4 star hotel, at the very least it’s a 3 star. A 4 star hotel won’t charge you a €10 fee to rent a pool towel. Yes I get my €10 back, that’s not the point. The rooms are seriously outdated, and the beds are twin beds pushed together to make a double. The beds sit low. A comfortable mattress would be greatly improved the stay.
Let’s talk about the shower. I’m only 5’7”, 165lbs and I can’t turn around underneath the shower head to wash my back because the shower handle is so long my back bumps into it. The towels are horrible. Hold them up in front of you and the towel is see through.
The food at the restaurant onsite is not good in my opinion. Just order something from uber eats or Glovo or drive across the bridge and find something to eat.
I do appreciate that I can come back to a cold room after a day out on the pool deck. The key card in the power slot next to the front door is a great way to reduce wasted energy.
Would I return, No. My 67+ old parents visited with us and they wont return.
Overall a good stay in a picturesque location, nice room, nice spa and nice breakfast, if I could suggest any improvements I’d say an upgrade to the gym and ev charging.
one of the last "value" places (indoor pool and Sauna free of charge)
Rooms are big, simple but functional all with balcony.
Opening of indoor spa is too short (only till 19:00, why?), breakfast mediocre as everywhere...
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.
Overall good stay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The bathrooms gets smelly as theres no ventilation. It can be quite pricey. And there was a stressful issue at check out as they made a mistake with our booking. The spa was very affordable but the jacuzzi was not working.
Overall the hotel and location were excellent, all the staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. We loved our room with our balcony overlooking the lake and river, we sat watching the birds every morning and evening.
There were a few minor things that could be simply changed that would improve the stay, coffee in the room would be great, even if it were just sachets. We had to ask for sugar and toilet rolls to be topped up. At breakfast many of the breakfast items weren’t topped up regularly enough so you found yourself asking for this. Finally there just wasn’t enough cupboard space for clothes when staying for more than a week and no space for the ladies to hang long dresses.
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.
