This was the third time we had stayed at the hotel and was the relaxing stress free holiday we desired. Service and friendliness of staff is outstanding and consistent and its good to see the same familiar faces. Rooms have a spacious and are comfortable. Two outdoor pools means you can choose a busier or quiter area to relax in... More

We have stayed at a Riu Hotel before and may be that was our problem we kept comparing it with the Riu Nautilus in Torremolinos. First let me say the Hotel is spotless and the staff are second to none they are all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. When we booked through Thomson’s we were... More

First of all let me point out that we have stayed at RIU hotels before including the club hotels. It was a holiday to get away and the AI option was a bonus. As we booked outside of the normal school holidays, we expected perhaps a few children but not the masses one might expect. The hotel was not too... More

It's was our first stay at Riu guarana and definitely we will return. We'll be coming to Albufeira in july for the family holidays and i already told my son to book in this hotel. The staff were so welcoming, the room was clean and nicely decorated and the bed was so comfortable. It's perfectly placed between Albufeira and Vilamoura... More

We choose this hotel for our honeymoon due to the alledged five star rating given by both Jet2 holidays and thomsons, and also due to its location between Villamoura and Albufeira. The first thing you notice on arrival is only 4 stars on the hotel sign. Bad start. First impresions were good the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel... More
