Robinson Quinta da Ria occupies a restored 18th-century quinta (traditional Portuguese estate) in the Algarve's easternmost village of Vila Nova de Cacela.
The property was reconstructed and reimagined as an all-inclusive resort while preserving its original stone architecture and sprawling grounds.
Set across 40 hectares of pine forests and lagoon views, it operates as a full-service hotel venue with direct access to the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
Very friendly atmosphere. Mainly German people. With international flair. Most people speak English. The food is fantastic. It's located on a golf course over looking the sea. Top location
