All in all, for what we paid we really can't complain. The hotel is clean and modernised in places (ie. our kitchen was brand new, whereas our friends was old). The rooms were ample in size and the shower was great. The beds were fine, and plenty of towels etc were provided. The surrounding grounds are well maintained. The pool... More

Just got back from a terrific week at the Rio. Excellent weather all week. The Spar isn't far for reasonable groceries, it's a short walk to the old village -and cut through the tennis courts to the marina. The lady on reception couldn't be nicer. We will definitely be back at these reasonably priced apartments.

Just got back from a week in the Rio. our studio apartment was basic but clean and represented very good value for money. Restaurante Rio is excellent - great value and great atmosphere and the owners Luis and Isabel are great hosts. We would definitely return for a similar price - we got what we paid for!
