Well ! This was our first visit to Portugal but our fifth to a Riu hotel. Having stayed at the 4star Riu Tequila Mexico in Jan 2013 the difference was seen in the quality of drinks,entertainment and restaurants.

Very good hotel. The staff are very helpful pleasant and polite. Rooms are very clean. Can't really fault it apart from the pool being very cold for the first week of our stay. Food is excellent with a very nice Chinese restaurant on site.
