I'm not a golfer myself, but for those who are, the hotel offers plenty of beautiful space all around.
The building itself is pretty old.
If you look more closely, you'll see that not everything is clean and there's rubbish on the floor or materials from construction work that you could easily trip over.
The staff here are almost exclusively untrained students. You see the same person playing volleyball, darts, dancing in the show, stacking new plates at the buffet, making infusions in the sauna, being an entertainer and then making your omelette in the morning. They also sit down at the tables with the guests to eat.
The food is really excellent. There is nothing missing. Just the display is not that great. The interior design leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the dining areas. 7 different types and colors of tables and chairs mixed together. You have to get your own drinks from the bar for any meal. The line is usually so long that it's not worth waiting there and you can just do without.
In the main bar, where live music is played in the evenings, there are only high stool chairs. This is not suitable for older people or children and is definitely very uncomfortable. There is an '18+' lounge with more comfortable armchairs, where you should be able to find peace and quiet. However, this is not possible, you can hear children's screaming and voices all the time, as the area is only separated by a thin curtain.
There are no elevators to the rooms on higher floors. There are no toothbrushes or similar additional items in the rooms.
The service definitely needs to be improved everywhere, or in different words, there is no service at all which I expect from the waiters and the bar keepers. It seems like they really don't like their job.
On the beach there is a 'beach bar', which is like a small wagon hut. The toilet on the beach is really awful. Super dirty, smells and there is no soap. It really has a portable toilet standard, in which even the flies feel comfortable and have to be chased away.
You can see at every corner that the hotel is cutting costs. In terms of waiter staff to ensure at least a minimum level of service, in the selection of drinks at the bar, in the general attention to impressions on the guests and cleanliness. The shows are also only put on internally by the students. This also reflects the quality of the entertainment shows.
I know, generally complaining at a high level, but if you are used to other hotels and expect 4-star quality here, you will be disappointed. You can tell that the hotel only survives on regular guests who have no better comparison.

Robinson, you’ve done it again! Having visited Agadir in March with Robinson we vowed we’d have to visit again. Such an amazing selection of sports, accommodation is fantastic, food is delicious and such a great variety every day, and staff that are always smiling, friendly and go above and beyond. We love every aspect of our breaks with you and definitely will be back! Thanks again ☺️

What a fantastic holiday!
Service was brilliant, staff were all helpful and friendly.
The golf courses were superb, particularly the Ria, which overlooks the sea.
The food is a buffet and so much choice and the quality is outstanding. I love that there is a lot of healthy options.
We stayed in a junior suite, which was great, spacious and peaceful.
The all inclusive was such great value, no signing bills all the time. Service at the bars was quick.
Great value holiday. Would recommend.

Staff were extremely attentive, polite and welcoming.
Food was very good. Suitably impressed with the quality available on the evening buffet which can sometimes be a struggle with all inclusive.
Drink is also very good. Didn't feel like we were drinking watered down alcohol which we have previously experienced.

We are a family of 3 (couple with 10yo boy) and had such a good time at Robinson Quinta da Ria. We stayed there for 5 nights. A special thank you to the kid's club team (my son loved Ben, who was a very kind "big brother" to him) and to the gym teachers (my wife had a great time with all of them).
Food is great, service is impecabble, everything was clean and organized. The swimming pool is large and has a good temperature. The beach and the nature surrounding it is stunning, although it's not super close. There were quite a lot of activities, although in my case the main activity was beer drinking...
We liked the fact that most outside tables were community tables. Although we don't speak German, we had no problem to communicate in English and had great conversations during meals.
As a suggestion for improvement, it would be good to see more international families - Portuguese, English, etc. It would have helped my son to make more friends if at least 20% of the families with kids were non-German speaking families.
Will I return? Yes, I surely will. It's one of the best hotels in Algarve. Not cheap, but it does offer a good value for money.
