Agua Hotels Riverside

“Recommended ”

Great hotel, wonderful service, beautiful views. We had a family stay at this hotel which was perfect. Superb service at front desk and restaurants. The hotel itself is in a quiet local area but it's a very short ride into Portimao and Playa Rocha.

“Fabulous hotel”

Fabulous hotel, really clean, breakfast was perfect. All made better by the staff that work incredibly hard, massive shout out to Maria and Reny in the restaurant, they made myself and my family incredibly welcome, always making effort to chat. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

We booked 5 nights very last minute for 3 adults. Hotel is very modern in a very traditional village. Our room was on the third floor with our balcony overlooking the car park but the views were stunning. If you love nature then this view was dreamy. Storks, birds and horses all frolicking happily together. Full sun facing all day. The room had a camp bed set up in the living room which was sturdier than the sofa bed. The bedroom was clean and spacious with a TV, ambient lighting and plenty of wardrobe space with four hangers each side and drawers built in. Kitchen lovely and modern with a dishwasher (no tabs) basic essentials of cups , plates and glasses including a tea towel but no kettle, iron or corkscrew!! (I paid €3.95 for one at local supermarket) Bathroom lovely and clean with shampoo and shower gel provided. Towels were changed daily. Toilet bin and brush were Stainless Steel which isn’t the best choice in my opinion I’d rather them be plastic. We stayed B&B which was available 7-10:30am. And the choice was vast. Fresh bread, rolls, cereals nuts. Juices, water and all varieties of teas and coffees. Hot food (Bacon eggs freshly cooked pancakes) Cakes and pastries. Fresh fruits. All in all an amazing selection and constantly replenished. Staff were incredibly hard working in a very busy environment. 5⭐️ My respect goes out to them. The Coviran supermarket is literally a 3 minute walk down the driveway. Very Reasonable prices €4:49 for Mateus. Coca -Cola same price as England. Fresh hot bread and pastries. Fish Monger and fresh local fruit on sale. Toiletries etc so anything you need in an emergency. Lidl is also a quick walk away open until 9:30 each night inc Sun. We ate at Monkas which is very close by for Piri Piri chicken at lunchtime. And a modern new restaurant is next to the supermarket €70 for starters, mains, beer sangria and cokes for 3 people. Taxi into Portimão was €6. And Prai Roche beach which is just down from Portimão about €7. The beach is amazing with rugged cliff lined sand. And plenty of beach front restaurants. We had a lovely stay in a much quieter part of the Algarve compared to Albufeira etc.

Came here a few days ago now, lovely hotel, clean, friendly staff, quiet area not too far from amenities even by foot. Taxis were well cheap and me and my family had a lovely holiday, although I did gain food poisoning from a specific food on my first night here. My partner days later also fell ill. Hotel didn’t really act upon this bar ask if I was ok. It’s a shame as that’s the only thing I wouldn’t rate and the cocktails didn’t always tend to have enough alcohol in. The meals definitely could be better as due to a specific food being left out for a period of time this is why my partner had fell ill and for me, it had seemed what I had was uncooked or placed out from another day. Entertainment could have been a bit better but was reasonable and my daughter had a great time dancing along :D. Overall wouldn’t rate this as a 4 star hotel due to my food experience but all else was well. I’d still recommend staying here as the spa was also great just small and plenty of breeze by the river when at the poolside to keep cool. Children’s play area was also minimal but enough.
