    Rio apartments June/July 2023
    SEAN - Jul 8, 2023

    This was my second time staying I the rio apartments, so pretty much knew what to expect... Or did I?

    Ok, lets start at the beginning.. Location, about 5 mins drive to the marina, perfect location to head anywhere in the area, only 25 mins from the airport and 30 mins to Albufeira.

    The accommodation.
    Rooms
    while dated, the AC is good, apart from the overflowing bottles, but not a biggy, just remember to empty them.
    The rooms are generally clean, and there's plenty of sheets and towels.
    The kitchen has everything you need, Kettle, Hob, toaster, microwave, plates & cutlery etc... the only thing missing was wall sockets to plug into... they seem to have been tiled over... when I told the girl on reception she seemed surprised... room 217 has wall sockets... wow! Anyway, an extension lead was supplied, but still no where to plug it in, apart from one socket on the far wall of the kitchen. Go figure!

    Staff
    lets just say the missed the fact that they work in the hospitality industry!
    We arrived late on our first night, and the next morning, there was a loud bang on the door, I opened it to find the receptionist saying, "you need to come with me now!", very SS or gestapo esq! Upon registering all our details I was asked for a €300 deposit, despite the fact that I had actually paid for everything I advance. still waiting for its return BTW.

    Pool
    Hers were things become a bit of an issue for me. There are very few sun loungers and only 3 umbrellas, so it was a competition every morning to get 4 sun beds and an umbrella for us to use!

    Bar/Restaurant
    By far and away the best part, good food, fairly priced, and friendly staff, who go out of their way to help with absolutely anything, and I mean anything!, Easily know these people have passion for what they do... oh the reason, they are renting the bar area, so they have vested interest in making it work. Only for Marco and his team, I fear my review would a lot worse. Hey Rio management, get some more sun bed and umbrellas so these guys can actually look after the guests your hotel team don't seem to care about.

    The major let down with the Rio apartments is that it is just not a priority for the owners, they seem to have let go. The place is quiet during the day because there are no sun beds or umbrellas to keep guests happy and they move off to the marina, beech or pools elsewhere.

    Overall would I come back... maybe...

    Value for money
    khaled - Sep 2, 2018

    Basic dated studio with amazing kitchen, just miss having sockets to at least charge our phones and toast our bread, no amenities provided during my stay and no air conditioning and kids screaming everyday starting from 8AM on swimming pool, receptionist very helpful. over all it is really value for the money especially in August.

    My opinion about this hotel Apartamentos Rio by Garvetur
    katie - Jul 10, 2015

    This apartment was excellent value for money, the building, corridors and rooms were a little tired. The ceiling was falling down I. The corridora and the plaster having off in the bedroom. The room was clean. we still have a fabulous holiday, the pool was very noisy due to drunken guests but that wasn\'t the hotels fault!
