Stayed here beginning of June was a bit apprehensive about staying, but on arrival was pleasantly surprised, the front of the hotel is the reception and restaurant/bar which is very nice. The rooms are of average hotel size but furnished well and nice bathroom. Staff were excellent and pool area was good, and was nice and quiet at this time... more

We had a very picky/critical group of eight staying at Pinus Ria, for our annual golf tour, this year in Algarve. We took the agent's advice and stayed at this 3-star, which was certainly in a great location for golf courses and good restaurants. Having seen some of the very mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, I was nervous that I'd get... more

My husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Portugal. Having not been to Portugal before we decided on the Pinus Ria due to its location to airport and Villamura. As it was a special occassion we upgraded to a suite, bit disappointing as it could have done with an overhaul in the living area, pleased with the... more

My husband and I were traveling by car throughout Portugal on our honeymoon, and booked 4 nights/5 days at Pinus Ria half way through our trip to recharge before the next leg of our journey.

I found this hotel very uninspiring. It lacks the atmosphere and ambience normally associated with a 4 * hotel. In essence, it is a motel with extra facilities such as tennis courts and beauty parlour. It's location is, however, excellent being near to both Quinta do Lago and Vale de Lobo so good as a low cost base for golf... more

Check in excellent, golf... more

We were in pinus ria hotel from 22 August 2006 for five nights. First, the rooms are too small for someone who carrie suitecases like we did. Me and my husband were returning to Portugal from a trip to Cyprus and we decided to rest a few days in Algarve before we work. There was nobody to help us whith... more
