We had a very picky/critical group of eight staying at Pinus Ria, for our annual golf tour, this year in Algarve. We took the agent's advice and stayed at this 3-star, which was certainly in a great location for golf courses and good restaurants. Having seen some of the very mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, I was nervous that I'd get... more

My husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Portugal. Having not been to Portugal before we decided on the Pinus Ria due to its location to airport and Villamura. As it was a special occassion we upgraded to a suite, bit disappointing as it could have done with an overhaul in the living area, pleased with the... more

My husband and I were traveling by car throughout Portugal on our honeymoon, and booked 4 nights/5 days at Pinus Ria half way through our trip to recharge before the next leg of our journey. The rooms were clean, the staff very friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast, lunch and snacks were adequate. We dined at the restaurant for dinner... more

We have just returned to England after an excellent week at the Pinus Ria. Before choosing this hotel I must have spent 3 solid evenings looking for somewhere on the Algarve that suited our needs. It was the Pinus Ria that came out tops both from Trip Advisor and their own Website. Pinus Ria is about 20 minutes from Faro... more

Great place to stay ,particularly for golfers. Staff very nice and helpful. excellent shuttle service to beach and golf courses. Hotel very clean with top class standards. more

Check in excellent, golf... more

We were in pinus ria hotel from 22 August 2006 for five nights. First, the rooms are too small for someone who carrie suitecases like we did. Me and my husband were returning to Portugal from a trip to Cyprus and we decided to rest a few days in Algarve before we work. There was nobody to help us whith... more

My fiance and I booked this hotel on the basis that it would be a quiet kids free hotel. Wrong! In the afternoon the pool area was taken over by children who were unsupervised by their parents who sat and ignored them. The rooms were very clean and adequate with good AC, and comfortable beds and a nice spacious balcony.... more
