Boca do Rio Resort ReviewLying outside the town of Lagoa, 9.8km (6 miles) east of Portimão, this is one of the best but most unheralded resorts in the western Algarve. Created from a former sardine factory (don't worry: the smell is gone), it lies across the harbor of Portimão close to the mouth of the Arade River. This is a complete resort with everything at your disposal, ranging from river-based watersports to a luxury spa. The hotel is designed in an avant-garde modern fashion. All the midsize bedrooms are furnished in a tasteful modern style, with terraces opening onto the view; each comes with a tiled bathroom. The chefs prepare an excellent Mediterranean cuisine using market-fresh ingredients. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Partner Deals:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
