ROBINSON QUINTA DA RIA - All Inclusive

Foi tudo ótimo durante a nossa estadia, um verdadeiro paraíso e com ótimas opções de refeições.

Our family of three spent a lovely 2 weeks at this hotel at the beginning of June. Facilities were spotlessly clean, food was great, little baby pool was useful (although very cold) and the staff were friendly. As others have mentioned, this is a German resort, therefore everything is catered towards this. Most of the staff could speak good English, but we did struggle with the language barrier a couple of times. We found this hotel good for our 18 month old as it had a nice pool and kids club where we could use the facilities (books, huge sand pit, drawing etc). The hotel also provided a baby package in our room free of charge which was a nice touch. This included a small bath, bottle warmer and changing mat. Major downside was the dinner meal time (7:30pm) and huge rush to get a table to ourselves when dinner opened. We found this really stressful and it was clear that people did not want to sit on a shared table. With a baby, we felt very awkward having to intrude on other people’s dinners. It is also very late for children to eat. We tried the early child meal (5:30pm), but this was successful as it meant that our baby had to sit through our mealtime afterwards. It would have been much easier if we could have all eaten at the earlier time. Other families faced the same issue - management please consider moving dinner slightly earlier for families. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn’t return with older children. I feel they would find it hard to utilise a kids club where everyone else is speaking German. P.S - we stayed in room 121 which was great. Ground floor which was good for the pram and on a corner south/ west facing looking onto golf course.

When we first arrived at the hotel. The staff were so friendly and introduced themselves and gave us some water. Very polite and professional. We did have to wait around for about 15 minutes or so just in the outside bit before we were taken inside to the check in area and could actually check in but this was not too bad but it would have been helpful if the staff could have explained why we were waiting as we weren’t quite sure what was going on and why we weren’t being taken through. However, once in to the check in area the staff were all great and explained all about the hotel and facilities and where we could find everything and seemed genuinely friendly and happy in their jobs and genuinely happy to help which was something we really noticed and appreciated about the staff at this hotel. It is an all inclusive hotel and the experience really is all inclusive and everything from the food to the activities they provide is included. The food was of excellent quality and a really great variety every evening, we enjoyed the different theme nights they had and the street food market was exceptional and such a great vibe. We really had fun that evening. The theatre shows were lovely and you get to see all of the wonderful staff from around the hotel performing at these shows which was fantastic. We particularly enjoyed rock and ria and also the live music evening out by the pool. Overall this hotel provides brilliant evening entertainment and it’s something different each night. As well as all of this, there are lots of fitness activities you can join in with I really liked the aqua fit in the outdoor pool and the yoga/ pilates classes early in the morning. They also had an indoor pool and spa. Segways to hire, and lots of other brilliant activities taking place throughout the hotel. One thing is for certain, you will never get bored at this hotel. My husband and I had a lovely couples massage which was relaxing and overall a great treatment. The weather was very hot and so we didn’t stay for the indoor pool but went straight out back to the outdoor pools. The outdoor pool is wonderful and very big lots of space for everyone and some seating areas as well as a waterfall area which was so refreshing. There are also specific kids pool areas which were shallow and undercover from the heat which was nice for my friend and her baby. The day cabanas are extra and you can book them on the app. There are only a few so try to book them as soon as you can. My husband and I and our friends both did this one day and it was well worth the money as the sun was particularly strong that day and so we had the option to close the curtains from the side that the sun was strongest. The general seating area by the pool is also fantastic as there are plenty of beds and you can usually find one either in the shade or in the sun depending on your preference. Our room was absolutely lovely, extremely clean and spacious- with a hot tub which we unfortunately
