My friend and I stayed at Marina Rio in October 2014. We enjoyed it then and it hasn't disappointed us on this visit. The bedrooms have been revamped, excellent! The breakfast has something for everyone and my only comment would be the tables are close together. (Understandably as you need a place for all the visitors). Lovely walk to the town, great walk by the sea on the 'new' boardwalk. Lots of lovely eateries etc. I hope to return. Thank you.

Nice view and balcony. No water except 1 commentary bottle upon arrival. Did not have breakfast due to it costing money so unsure how it was. Probably would try the hotel next to it next time.
Response from Gabriele M. Gomes on 30 Apr 2024
We thank you for taking the time to review.As for the bottle of water, this was ment as a welcome gift and is not included in our other service. Breakfast has always a cost, or can you give us an idea where you get it for free?

The room and hotel are exceptionally clean. Room is spacious. Breakfast is separate and an extra charge but it was worth the convenience.

Noisy on back side of hotel with bus station and school. Couldnt keep windows open or use balcony. No double beds. No option with a pillow top for a double or queen. Two singles made up as singles. Unheard of.

Dear Sir,Due to our central location, some noise must be expected. Howver, if the window is closed, nothing will be heard.As for the issue witht the beds, your booking mentiones that your bed preference was 2 single beds and not a double bed, which we would have made up, had you informed us of that.Thank you for your overall rating.Kind regards,Andrea Nascimento

Great hotel - roomy, pretty, nice restaurant. They have limited hours on fitness room, that was inconvenient, plus not close to town and not walkable. Don’t bother with ocean view, it’s noisy and not that great of a view. Liked the room and bed a lot. Lovely property

This was a lovely property in an excellent location. It is situated maybe a five minute walk to the old town but you are right across the street from the Marina. You can walk to the Hotel from the train station which is at the Marina. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the Marina. The Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. There was a little bit of everything. Even Portuguese tarts. I hope to be able to stay here again one day. Stayed May 2023

We appreciate your feedback but are surprised that you had trouble finding the stairs as they are directly opposite the entrance to the breakfast room. The slowness of the lift was also mentioned for the first time. With 3 floors, that shouldn't really be a problem.Kind regards,
