Guerreiros do Rio Vacations from $1,472

Our stay was amazing! Our room was stunning but we especially loved our rooftop patio.

Great culture - Friendly, approachable and helpful staff. Loved the amenities. Breakfast buffet is excellent. Dinner buffet also excellent, well stocked and excited.

Pro: upgraded to a larger room; small supermarket on property; on the beach; AC unit Cons: very loud construction noise in the room next door starting at 8AM and lasting all day long; they have onsite laundry facilities that cost $7.00 USD to wash per load and then $7.00 to dry in a small capacity machine!!! $28.00 USD to wash and dry 2 loads of laundry; building is pretty run down both inside and outside

Room clean and comfortable, friendly staff, lovely breakfast, beautifully maintained grounds, pool not heated and attracted a lot of seagulls.

On arrival was able to check in even though early, room was upgraded to a garden view which was appreciated. The rooms are clean and well maintained, mostly quiet although someone was thumping around above us, but it wasn't annoying enough to complain. Breakfast was as expected, pleasant with an outdoor eating area, sparkling wine and usual offerings, and it was never overly busy, and they replaced items if you asked, breakfast is also on until 11am which is great. Dìd not use pool but gardens and pool area are nice to relax in, no loud music. Service at the bar/restaurant was sketchy, some excellent staff and others clueless. Service charge is added at end of stay, so pay as you go is my recommendation. Shuttle service to the lovely beach, could do with a few more collection/drop off times, but the walk back is quick if not a bit hilly at the start. The reception team and staff around the hotel, breakfast team and spa team are lovely, Ceila on reception & Sam in the spa in particular. Our first stay here was in 2019, 7 years later, there are some improvements, fire pit relaxation area is nice touch and would be welcome if visiting during the cooler months. Didn't try the buffet restaurant as it wasnt great in 2019 and the reviews this time around show not much improvement. There is a newish restaurant on site which we didn't try as closed for 2 of our 4 days. A couple of decent Portuguese restaurants a five minute walk away. Opposite pine cliffs resort.
