Despite a booking through Hotwire at Ria Park (also 5 star) being changed to taus hotel and slow unreliable Wifi Internett, the hotel experience as in total was great! Fantastic service and ocean views at breatfast made each day special. The rooms were spacious with all kinds of accesories, even fresh flowers! Fantastic location with nice nature trails. The spa...

We should have been staying at Ria Park but due to over booking we were offered the quinta do lago, we didn't know what to expect but everything was great.The staff are very helpful and polite and at breakfast remember your name which was nice.The hotel obviously wasn't full but all the facilities were available, the sauna,turkish bath,jacuzzi and pools...

I know this hotel from many years ago and now I have been there again. Around meanwhile a lot is new (Villas, Hotels, Golfcourses) and Quinta do Lago is a big property. So, before you will reach the hotel quinta do lago, you will pass more than half a dozen roundabouts. The hotel area is green and clean, well maintained,... More

Beautiful rooms, lovely staff, wonderful food. Overall, lovely hotel! All the staff were very attentive, checking we were fine and did we need anything. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were cleaned twice a day to an immaculate standard. The breakfast was fabulous, you really could not ask for more! The views of the sea were beautiful from the... More

The hotel is first class. The staff make it so. They are friendly and look after you. The rooms overlooking the lagoon/garden are wonderful. Perhaps the bathrooms could do with a bit of updating but I understand that this is underway. So hopefully on the next visit they will all be completed. Breakfast is stunning - absolutely everything you could... More

We stayed here immediately after a stay at the Ria Park Hotel & Spa and interesting to compare the two. This has a stunning view over the lagoon, dunes and sea immediately in front of the hotel, and our rooms were bigger, newer with better pillows, softer sheets, fresh flowers and bigger balconies. Breakfast at the Ria was good but... More

I like this hotel better than any other in Europe when I want sea, sand, quiet and style. The hotel is lovely, the food excellent, the view stunning, the rooms perfect, the location on the salt marsh wonderful and the beach a perfect example of the algarve at its best. I just love it. This is my 3rd time and... More

Very nice hotel - not sure it's a 5 star hotel but it's a fully deserving 4 star. The setting is stunning and a few minutes' walk from the amazing beach. Service very good and though food is expensive, it was good. However nothing other than golf courses nearby and the whole area is Berkshire-in-the-sun so very little Portugese flavour.... More

Fab hotel. Tranquil, clientele slightly elderly English with heavy sprinkling of glam foreigners. Wonderful rooms (go for basic room but on 5th or 6th floor with sea view), marble bathrooms, lashings of toiletries, fresh flowers in bathroom and bedroom, every conceivable thing you could want, even a box to put your shoes out for cleaning at night! Truly superb staff... More
