I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The staff were exceptional and made every effort to assist with anything we needed, which truly enhanced our experience. The room was luxurious and impeccably clean, and the dining options exceeded our expectations. However, the only downside was the minor issues we faced with reservations before our arrival, which left a bit of a sour taste, though everything was resolved beautifully once we got there.

Our group holiday turned out to be quite disappointing at this supposed '5-star' hotel. The staff at the pool bar were unwelcoming, and the food options, particularly at breakfast, were lacking in quality and variety. However, the cheerful demeanor of one staff member while checking out was a bright spot. Overall, this hotel did not meet our expectations for a luxurious experience.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located just a short walk from buzzing beach bars and delicious restaurants. The relaxing atmosphere was a huge highlight, especially during such a busy season. However, while the staff was friendly and the pool area was beautiful, the overall hotel experience felt a bit below the 5-star expectation, and I found the dining options could use some improvement.

I recently stayed at the Ria Park Hotel & Spa and I have to say, it was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering a lovely ambiance that made my stay enjoyable. The breakfast selection was impressive, though not without some room for improvement in terms of coffee service. The location was great, as it was just a short walk to the beach, but there were some extra costs for beach services that I didn't quite expect. Overall, it was a lovely hotel, but a few tweaks here and there would make it even better.

We had a wonderful stay at Ria Park, enjoying its peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful pools. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel very welcome. The dining options were also impressive, particularly the a la carte menu, although the breakfast experience did not meet the same standard. Overall, it’s a fantastic hotel for those looking for relaxation and quality service, but there could be improvements with breakfast and the cold pool water.
