The hotel is fairly small - under 40 rooms. Thomson's has it as adults only - and no children were there during our stay. However, there were a number of independent travellers so this may not always be the case. The hotel seems to have been recently refurbished as everywhere looked fresh and clean. Our room was of reasonable size,... more

One things I was looking forward to on holiday was a good night's sleep! -Not really an option for me at this hotel. The pictures make it look like it is right on the Marina-infact, there is a fairly busy road which separates the hotel from the Marina. The double glazing in our room did not cut out the noise... more

We were staying for one week at this hotel and we were very pleased with the Hotel, Staff, Breakfast (partly continental and partly English), Surroundings were brilliant with the marina just outside the door and the Old town just a short walk away. We found that the restaurant Adega Da Marina was fantastic value for money. In fact it was... more

Stayed at the hotel only for 2 nights but it was perfect. Very courteous staff and hotel extremely clean and well run. Overlooked the marina which was a great site. Breakfast had something to suit everyone. Rooftop pool and sun terrace was a great addition and very well thought out. Fab for a quick relax at the end of a... more

Arrival at the hotel was good, greeted with very friendly staff that could not be more helpful, especially Madelena. Rooms spotlessly clean, decor slightly dated in bathroom, so refurb would I believe pull it into a true 4* hotel. Breakfasts while slightly limited in choice, were fresh and plentiful in quality and quantity. Again staff a breakfast were very helpful... more

Clean, comfortable, friendly, and quiet (29th May-5th June). Rooms were cleaned every day with crisp white sheets and towels. Reception staff were very friendly. Breakfast consisted of breads, fruit, cereals, meats and cheese and either boiled eggs or scrambled or fried with bacon or sausage. 2 sun decks on the roof, 1 with a 10 meter pool and sun lounges,... more

This hotel was recommended on Trip Advisor and it lived up to its promises. The location is excellent. It's directly opposite the Marina and a very short walk into the Old Town. We were exceptionally impressed with the cleanliness. The public areas and the bedroom were spotless. The breakfast was also very good. There was plenty of choice and, as... more

Arrived at the Marina Rio on Christmas Day 2008 and was pleasantly suprised, the reception area was very clean and freshly painted, the receptionist was very pleasant and spoke good English, our room 112 was on the first floor just a few steps up the central staircase or there is a lift, was beautiful, very tastefully decorated with air conditioning... more

The staff at this hotel looked after fantastically without being intrusive. Ricardo and his fellow reception staff could not do enough to help. He even arranged a beautiful birthday gift for my partner at very short notice on New Years Eve!!! Outstanding!!! Their local knowledge was excellent and enabled us to have a very enjoyable New Years Eve. They also... more
