The room was dirty and black mould spots all over the bathroom ceiling (room 012). It was also on shower curtain...expressed concern to reception and... More

I also surprised when I saw an iron and electric kettle, toaster, fridge with freezer and... More

there were 5 of us that stayed at Rio apartments Vilamoura. One of the girls was in a wheelchair, the only reason I'm pointing this out is because there was poor communication between reception staff and taxi ranks with what type of taxis to send when we were going anywhere. She had an electric wheelchair (doesn't fold up, and we... More

Great little apartment hotel. Not far from great restaurants, Marina or old village. Pool could be better looked after. Room very spacious and at the price I paid I would go back. You get what you pay for.

All in all, for what we paid we really can't complain. The hotel is clean and modernised in places (ie. our kitchen was brand new, whereas our friends was old). The rooms were ample in size and the shower was great. The beds were fine, and plenty of towels etc were provided. The surrounding grounds are well maintained. The pool... More

Just got back from a terrific week at the Rio. Excellent weather all week. The Spar isn't far for reasonable groceries, it's a short walk to the old village -and cut through the tennis courts to the marina. The lady on reception couldn't be nicer. We will definitely be back at these reasonably priced apartments.

Just got back from a week in the Rio. our studio apartment was basic but clean and represented very good value for money. Restaurante Rio is excellent - great value and great atmosphere and the owners Luis and Isabel are great hosts. We would definitely return for a similar price - we got what we paid for!
