Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa Ribadouro, Ribadouro

The hotel had the comfiest bed and great amenities one would expect from a 5* hotel. However, cleanliness was an issue with items left uncleaned in the room. The location was top-notch, overlooking the River Douro, but lacked something in terms of exploring vineyards. The dining experience was incredible every morning, but service needed improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, bright, and tastefully decorated with large balconies overlooking the river, giving me a sense of privacy. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist, from the pool bar to the room service. The location was stunning, overlooking the River Douro with an infinity pool on the seventh floor offering breathtaking views. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of tasty and diversified options. The facilities were excellent, making my stay truly enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were amazing, spacious, and clean, although some refurbishments are needed. The service was helpful and obliging, although a bit impersonal at times. The location is unbelievably beautiful, overlooking the River Douro, but access to the best parts of the river can be challenging. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very basic and in need of refurbishment, with a few cleanliness issues, but they still offered the amenities one would expect from a 5-star hotel. The service was friendly and helpful, though lacking in some training aspects. The location had a stunning view overlooking the River Douro, but it was somewhat isolated from wineries. The dining experience was mostly great, despite some minor inconveniences. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
