Our stay at the Ria Park Hotel was delightful from start to finish. The welcoming ambiance combined with the attentive service made us feel cherished throughout our stay. The rooms were large and impeccably clean, providing ample space for relaxation. While the dining options were a bit pricey, the quality of the food made it worth the expense. Additionally, the pool area felt inviting, though the water was quite chilly, which may not appeal to everyone. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for those seeking tranquility and comfort.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the friendly staff and the wonderful location just a short walk from the beach. The room was tidy, and I appreciated the nice balcony with a sea view. However, the internet connection was quite poor during my visit, which was frustrating. Overall, it offered great value for money, especially considering the amenities available.
