ROBINSON QUINTA DA RIA - All Inclusive

We have stayed in many all inclusive hotels and this is one of the best. The grounds are lovely; it was good to be able to walk to the beach truck along the path skirting the golf course and then down to the Ria Formosa where there are hundreds of little crabs and many different bird species. We took the hotel’s little “train” and then boat over to the beach by the sea one day (3€ per person) for a change, but it was very hot and no shade once there unless you hire a sunbed and umbrella. The room was not big, but modern, with very comfortable beds. Good shower, separate toilet, large balcony overlooking beautiful trees. We did not play golf but participated in a few of the numerous activities such as yoga, zumba and frisby-golf. We were the only English people at these activities, but the staff were very accommodating to translate instructions once told. There is an assumption that everyone is German because most people are. It didn’t spoil our holiday because we are not particularly chatty. All staff were smiling and helpful. The food was very good indeed. Fresh, tasty and varied. The best food at an all inclusive that I have experienced. The drinks were very good too. A lot of effort goes into the themed evenings and most guests join in with the dress code, so check the hotel app before arriving if you want to know what the themes are. We didn’t go to the shows in the theatre, but the house band played by the pool and were good, as were the djs. I liked the evening atmosphere at the pool bar. The pool isn’t huge but was never too crowded. The general feel of the place was relaxed; not too many rules and regulations (do whatever you want as long as you are respectful) and people seemed to respond well to that. If I had to find any minor suggestions for improvements it would be that the bath towels could be bigger and the air conditioning could be better. I did get bitten quite a few times, so consider bringing insect repellent. I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to others.

The rudest little golf jockey who thinks he runs the hotel accosted us. Once while playing golf to see we had paid, which we had and today again. He has lost a huge contract from our business for this lovely resort. I felt like it was run by the abrasive gestapo and not the normal kind and friendly Portuguese people. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it unless you are German and enjoy an abrasive rude , little golf coach treating you with disrespect.

A Truly Fantastic Getaway at ROBINSON Quinta da Ria We had an absolutely wonderful time at ROBINSON Quinta da Ria—it was truly a fantastic escape from reality. We were deeply impressed by the quietness, peaceful atmosphere, and overall comfort of the resort. It provided exactly the kind of rest and relaxation we needed. Our days were spent enjoying the beach truck with its breathtaking view, which quickly became one of our favorite spots. Evenings were all about indulging in delicious food and wine, especially at the Pousada specialty restaurant—what an exceptional culinary experience! The service throughout our stay was outstanding. A huge thank you to Matthias and Telmo for their warm hospitality and for making our visit so special. The front office team was incredibly friendly and always ready to help—thank you, Sara, for your excellent work. We also appreciated the lovely conversations and attentive care from Jonathan in Guest Relations—thank you for always being there. A heartfelt thank you to Monique for arranging a surprise for us—it meant a lot and made our stay even more memorable. Aderito, your salmon and burgers were amazing! And to the entire Food & Beverage team, thank you for your great service. A special shoutout to João for the wonderful red wine recommendation—it was fantastic. This resort is truly a gem, and if we get the chance, we will definitely be coming back. One important thing to add: I’m not a golf player, but this vacation was so incredible that I’m now even considering trying it, especially after watching the other guests' enthusiasm and seeing the stunning golf courses. Thank you, ROBINSON Quinta da Ria, for an unforgettable stay—we will be back!

12 of us just returned from 4 nights away at this hotel. We played the two golf courses attached to the hotel, both of these were in fantastic condition. We also played at Monte Rei, this was however in poor condition, definitely not worth the €220 at this time of year. I can’t fault this hotel at all, the rooms were spacious and clean and house keeping was very good. The food was exceptional, especially the evening meal, this was not the run of mill all inclusive hotel where all the food tastes the same. There was plenty of choice. The drinks menu was very good as well with Super Bock the draft beer. All the staff made us feel very welcome. A special mention needs to be said to all the other guests in the hotel, 90% would be German or from the Netherlands, they were so friendly and welcoming to us 12 English men, and we made many friends even in a small time.

We are just nearing the end of our 10 day stay here, we have had a wonderful holiday, yes its 90% german citizens here and TUI should probably make that clearer when booking but part of me is glad they didnt as it may have made me book somewhere else, i have attended fitness classes in german but the staff made every effort to explain things to me in english and i enjoyed them just as much, my husband joined the tennis tournament and he had a great time, the german people he played with all spoke good english and they were laughing and joking together, my kids made some good friends too. The silent disco was wondeful having 3 channels on the headset, german, english and house music, it was so much fun. The bands and robins singers in the evening have been great. I havent struggled to get a table in the evening, in fact we have got the same table every night and our waiters have been wonderful. The food is world class and fresh. I was dubious about coming all inclusive as we normally go on villa holidays, but we have had the best time and wish we could stay longer. This is definately a 5 star resort, if you are booking just go with the flow their isnt really a language barrrier if you just put in the effort to speak to people. Thank you Robinsons we have made some great memories ❤️‍♀️️

We are regular visitors to Robinson Quinta Da Ria, but wanted to review especially the wonderful Hot Stone dining experience we tried on 30th January. Igor & Marta with their chef team were fantastic. We had a lovely evening. The menu was varied and interesting, food was at a very high standard. It was a lovely touch for the team to come into the restaurant to thank us for coming and to toast the successful evening. We felt we were joining friends in their home dining room. Loved it and will be back again before returning home. If you stay at Robinson’s you really must try this one evening, highly recommended.
