Excelent choice for who´s seeking a place to relax. Very calm with great facilities (great indoor pool). Rooms are spacious and clean (furniture should be updated). Satellite TV with poor international channels, but not important as you´ll always find several things to do near by. The staff is friendly and will help you with everything you need. It was a... more

We spent two weeks at the Boca do Rio for a relaxing break. We would recommend that a river view room is booked as this gives a magnificent view of all the birds that frequent the estuary. The complimentary hotel boat is excellent and travels several times a day between the hotel and Portimao and Praia do Rocha. The marshes... more

Despite the hotel being like the Marie Celeste in high season, with restaurants not open etc, the room given was right next to the main village square, where there was a celebration until 1am. The hotel knew this, yet still used these rooms despite the hotel being almost empty. There was insufficient power to run the hotel, meaning frequent power... more

My partner and I stayed at the Boco Do Rio in September 2007 for 1 week. We found the booking through TravelRepublic and got a really good deal. Firstly, the ride from the airport took about an hour. We opted for the shuttle bus (also booked through TR which was the cheapest option at about £23 each return). Going there... more

Just returned from five days/four nights at the Boca do Rio resort. The location is around half an hour by car from Faro airport, hotel website advice was ok, no problem to reach the property at the first attempt. Our first impression was absolutely ok when we arrived last sunday around 11.00 am, clean, airy lobby, the girl at the... more

We stayed at the Boca do Rio Resort over Xmas b&b- looking forward to relaxing, fine dining, 4x star comfort. The hotel and its facilities are first class, spotlessly clean, very 'boutique', friendly- if over polite staff. On arrival, the hotel seemed empty, no one around!-a bit like the movie The Shining! It seems that only a few of the... more

We're thinking of going back this year, although I can't seem to get the same media pension deal. Pity. Still. Food brilliant, Free Boat yes motorised boat to beaches or Portimao fab, First rate free Health club with indoor pool...it's really good (and we live in Portugal so it's easy to compare). more
