We stayed for 7 nights. It was the perfect location for us, as we used it as a base while visiting several Algarve locations. It was very quiet and private. The staff and facilities were excellent, especially the breakfast buffet, which is totally worth including when you book. We booked a Studio that had a kitchenette. We wouldn't get that room again, as we didn't really use the kitchenette and never was able to figure out the microwave/oven combo. We were provided a tea kettle upon request. Overall we loved staying at the Riverside Agua and would definite stay there again, only we'd probably stay in a different room.

3.5/5 good hotel
Overall good stay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The bathrooms gets smelly as theres no ventilation. It can be quite pricey. And there was a stressful issue at check out as they made a mistake with our booking. The spa was very affordable but the jacuzzi was not working.

Great stay
We had a lovely stay. Great suite with a kitchen. The fridge was broken before we got there and we’re given a minibar fridge instead and upgraded to half board rather than just breakfast. Breakfast was lovely and the evening dinner buffet changed the main meals every evening. The hotel and surroundings are quiet with great views over the river. The infinity pool is lovely and was never very busy. Only downside is that there was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and the bottled water wasn’t refreshed.

Disappointing
A disappointing 1-night stay as we were expecting a 4* experience and it's hard to see how this place has been rated. It was barely 3*. Everything was pared down to the minimum. Just about warm enough in the room with a noisy AC but no hot water at night and just warm in the morning. The room was clean and spacious but with only one desk chair, no tea making facilities or even glasses in the bathroom for washing teeth. Lumpy pillows and small bath towels. We asked for a kettle but it was useless without cups or teabags, though we were told we could buy some.The restaurant was cold at all meals so the food went cold quickly. We were told it was because there was a lot of glass frontage but the heating was inadequate. Everyone kept their coats on so dining was not comfortable.The warmest place was the reception and it was bizarre having to walk outside to access the room, restaurant and spa as no interior walkways joined the buildings. May not be so bad in a warm summer but accessing the spa was particularly difficult. Robes and towels were 'for hire', changing area unclean, no soap in the 2 small showers. About 15 lockers but only one tiny bench to barely sit 3, so changing was uncomfortable and there was nowhere to relax. Astonishingly, there was no drinking water available so the spa barely met health and safety standards for treatments and certainly no 4* luxury.

Would recommend
My partner and I stayed at the hotel last September and had a lovely stay. Great facilities and just a 5-10 min Uber or 15-20 min walk from Portimao. Couldn't ask for better. If I had to complain about anything though it would simply be lack of a kettle in the rooms and an iron would be a nice touch. Will hopefully be able to come back and visit again soon!
