Had an excellent week in Vilamoura staying at the Rio Apartments. Was a bit wary after reading some of the reviews on here, but we found it to be a very good place to stay. Good sized studio room with own balcony, kitchen and bathroom. Seemed to have been renovated fairly recently so maybe the whole place has had a... more

We had researched these apartments on Tripadvisor and other sites, we knew where they were just not what they were like inside. We got a very cheap deal and booked, when you book state if you want a pool view, we didnt get one, the apartment was spacious and clean but very basic and in need of modernisation. The TV... more

I'll start by saying overall, the apartments served my purposes. There was a bed, a clean bathroom and an adequate kitchen. I mainly used the room to sleep, bathe and eat breakfast, so this served my purposes well. However there was one major problem that was fixed. We requested a non-smoking room, as neither my wife nor myself smoke. The... more

If you have already booked when reading this then dont be put off by possible negative coments you may read. However please be aware of walking any where on your own/in couples in the evening, the taxis to the harbour are 4 euros only and we strongly recommend you dont walk as it is quiet and poorly lit and while... more

We spent a fabulous 2 week's at the Rio. Our top floor sea view one bedroom apartment was quiet, clean and for just over £750, was real good value. We never build our hopes to high but this was fine. The staff, especially Isabel, worked very long hours but never seemed jaded and were always happy to make sure all... more

Was a slight bit worried the night prior leaving after reading the reviews but now back home I can honestly say the place is nice and the staff really good people. Ok so some peoples reviews are just that of silly little issues but the place is run in a manner thats safe relaxed and easy going all you want.... more

When we arrived at our studio apartment we noticed how dark it was, this we because the kitchen occupied 2/3 of the outside wall which included 2/3 of the windows, leaving only 1/3 of them for the larger bed/sitting room. The kitchen was a separate room with a run of cupboards, sink, cooker, worktop and fridge on one wall and... more

Had the Rio runaround on arrival, waiting for key to apartment. No receptionist at this time of year complicated matters. Driver dropped off wrong people at wrong complex, which was closed anyway. Apartments are OK, everything worked and was cleaned every day by very noisy cleaners who seemed to be having a party as they worked. Location is very quiet,... more
