Very nice indeed! My wife and I stayed at the Rio Real for a week of relaxation during September 2011. Neither my wife or I play golf, however this did not spoil our break in any way, in fact it was nice to sit and watch the golfers teeing off (or whatever it is they do) while eating breakfast. The...

Rooms are large and very clean with quality furniture and a nice balcony towards Hole 11, the signature hole of Rio... More

The service in the restaurant is terrible, but the food is ok. The staff is rude, impolite and straight out unfriendly. They really need to work on their attitude! We were... More
