In a lovely location close to the beach in the small resort of Olhos. This is a nice Riu Hotel. We were allocated a 5th floor room with pool and sea views - marvellous. Extremely clean venue throughout. Good food with sufficient variety to please most tastes. We breakfasted on the terrace most days. Use the Asian theme Restaurant for... More

We had a great time at the riu Guarana, the all inclusive drinks were good, the food was respectable given that they had to provide a lot and it was all inclusive, the staff were very helpful. The entertainment was pretty strange and would probably suit older people (we are both 29) it was done an extreme budget and lacked... More

Stayed here for two nights in May. The rooms are dated and uncomfortable. I wasn't too keen on the breakfast. Snack bar was ok, didn't have lunch or dinner in the hotel so I can't comment. Everything else was good! Brilliant hotel for kids. Two swimming pools and an indoor one. 45 minute transfer.

We had a reasonably good, all inclusive holiday. We stayed at a side view room initially and then moved to a superior, pool facing room. Here are the good and not so good points: The good: Free use of pool towels, mini fridge and safe Very clean rooms and public areas. Pool facing room (superior) was large and well furnished.... More

This hotel was the best hotel me and my family have ever stayed in. Me and my brother were 18 and 17 at the time. My parents stayed in the room next store. The corridors are huge! The balcony had the most amazing views, right accross the pools and to the sea. The food is gorgeous, sometimes repetative but definitely... More

There's a reason this hotel is rated so highly; the service, cleanliness and overall standard as brilliant. It ranks as one of the best value holidays I've had. I've noticed some negative reviews on here recently so I'll try to address them in turn. Yes, the food can be a little repetitive, but for such a large hotel with such... More

Have just returned from four days in Portugal. The Riu Guarana hotel was amazing! The hotel and grounds were immaculately clean. The food was plentiful and very good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location was really good with lovely beaches. We had a perfect holiday wish we could have stayed longer.
