Great hotel, friendly staff

Overall the hotel and location were excellent, all the staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. We loved our room with our balcony overlooking the lake and river, we sat watching the birds every morning and evening. There were a few minor things that could be simply changed that would improve the stay, coffee in the room would be great, even if it were just sachets. We had to ask for sugar and toilet rolls to be topped up. At breakfast many of the breakfast items weren’t topped up regularly enough so you found yourself asking for this. Finally there just wasn’t enough cupboard space for clothes when staying for more than a week and no space for the ladies to hang long dresses.

Great stay

We had a lovely stay. Great suite with a kitchen. The fridge was broken before we got there and we’re given a minibar fridge instead and upgraded to half board rather than just breakfast. Breakfast was lovely and the evening dinner buffet changed the main meals every evening. The hotel and surroundings are quiet with great views over the river. The infinity pool is lovely and was never very busy. Only downside is that there was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and the bottled water wasn’t refreshed.

Overall good stay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The bathrooms gets smelly as theres no ventilation. It can be quite pricey. And there was a stressful issue at check out as they made a mistake with our booking. The spa was very affordable but the jacuzzi was not working.

We stayed for 7 nights. It was the perfect location for us, as we used it as a base while visiting several Algarve locations. It was very quiet and private. The staff and facilities were excellent, especially the breakfast buffet, which is totally worth including when you book. We booked a Studio that had a kitchenette. We wouldn't get that room again, as we didn't really use the kitchenette and never was able to figure out the microwave/oven combo. We were provided a tea kettle upon request. Overall we loved staying at the Riverside Agua and would definite stay there again, only we'd probably stay in a different room.

Great hotel, we've had a very relaxing stay overall, we'll return with no doubt. Nice ambient and everything was very clean. However, it's worth to mention that SPA was a disappointment for us: Turkish sauna is out of service (for months? according to other reviews) and Finnish sauna was just warm, set to 85 degrees... Probably I won't choose the hotel if I'd be expecting this things... On the other hand, breakfast and dinner were all delicious! We also enjoyed service in the restaurant, many thanks to all staff, we felt very welcomed.
