Hotel Marina Rio

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to assist me when I forgot something in my room, organizing its delivery back to me. The room was clean, quiet at night, and the location was perfect, with the beach, restaurants, and shops within walking distance.

The room was beautifully furnished and very clean. Not uncommon for Europe, also fairly compact and there was only one occasional chair, so one of us had to sit on the bed. Our room faced the bus station, so while the view wasn't noteworthy, our room was quiet. Very modern amenities, and a beautiful rooftop terrace that faces the marina. The bathroom has a huge soaking tub, heavenly after a long day of walking. Very friendly, helpful staff. The location great in that it faces the marina, but the beach is a 15-20 minute walk, just something to keep in mind depending on what one is bringing/if you have children.

The hotel was extremely clean and comfortable and had a beautiful vie of the marina. The greeting from the front desk was friendly and welcoming. I am forever grateful that housekeeping found my good camera in the room and caught me as I was checking out. The cameras is worth a lot, but the memory card held irreplaceable wonderful memories of my visit to the Algarve and other places in beautiful Portugal.

The hotel location was excellent, being across from the marina, and a short walk to the old city. Our room faced the bus station behind the hotel, and was very quiet. The small rooftop pool and lounge area was a nice bonus. Breakfast was excellent, and because we had an early departure on our last day, the staff arranged an early breakfast available for us. Rita, who worked at the front desk, was very personable and helpful. We enjoyed the boat ride we booked through the hotel. The recommended restaurant, Reis, was great, a lovely family run establishment that served delicious cataplana! The hotel is conveniently located close to both the bus and train stations.

Beautiful view, great location, friendly staff. Room service did a great job too in freshening up the room daily. Small hotel. Loved the pool - felt like a private pool at times as it was quiet. Worth money for location and pay for the marina view, the sunrise was beautiful. Got a little nippy on the evening on that side but not much that can be done about the weather!
