Perfectly located the property has a boutique touch although it is looking like gigantic Hotel on photos and in reality. Everything was fine apart from one waiter at the breakfast that was a bit rude but this didn't downplay our beautiful stay in Tavira 3 days

Upon arrival, I was warmly and promptly greeted. When I went to my room, there was a moldy odor. I went back to the front desk to express my concern, and they moved me to another room. Other than that, the day was pleasant and I appreciated the complementary bottle of wine. The property is quiet with a beautiful view of the town. The buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful with a lovely touch of a pianist playing throughout the meal. The rooftop bar was a pleasure with delicious food and drink. I especially appreciated the warm welcome by Jonathan.

This is a great place with a somewhat walkable location. Reaching the downtown area with its restaurants and shops involves a small hill, but we didn’t mind the bit of exercise. If you're looking for a place to stay without the noise of children, this hotel is an excellent choice. The rooftop bar is spacious, beautifully designed, and offers a stunning view of the city.

I’ve stayed at the hotel many times and always enjoy the facilities. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. There is building work going on nearby and lots of drilling , construction and large vehicles passing through. Laying by the pool and sitting on your balcony wasn’t as relaxing as usual !

Pretty average
They do not have iron available in the rooms or even in a laundry room as it's a "security issue". Staff were dismissive and unhelpful. You have to pay £10 deposit per pool towel. Breakfast ok. Coffee tasted like mud

Just back from a lovely 4 nights at this hotel! We would definitely recommend it! The selection of food at breakfast is great and the pianist is a lovely touch! The only thing missing was fresh fruit juice or smoothie. The juice machine isn't very nice. We stayed B&B and were so grateful for all of the lovely restaurants nearby the hotel for lunch and evening meals. The hotel is in a good location, close to several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Also not far to walk to the castle and see many of the beautiful churches! Lovely swimming pool with plenty of loungers and the food and drink we had at the pool bar was nice. The room was lovely and clean with a great shower. The pillows are not the most comfortable but we slept well. The construction site next to the hotel didn’t affect our stay but for those who like a nice view from their balcony, a pool view could be requested. There was some noise from the construction site but it wasn't too noisy and didn’t disturb our stay or our sleep. Overall we would recommend this hotel for a stay to explore the lovely Tavira!

Hotel rooms seem tired and worn. Could really use a freshening up. Limited amenities in the bathrooms. Rooms were dirty with many scuff marks on the walls. No coffee machine or coffee in the room. Only instant coffee and kettle. Mini fridge in the closet kept over heating so we had to keep the closet door open. Safety deposit batteries not checked so staff had to repair same in our first day. The staff at check in were rude and stand offish. The welcome drink was nice but we felt very rushed and unwelcome. We went to the roof bar one night and three times we asked for drink and snack menu from staff. No one ever did return to take our order. After 20 mins waiting we left as there was no service from any of the staff who were too busy on their phones. Hardly any other patrons on the roof bar but the staff couldn’t be bothered to serve us? Main plus for this tired hotel was the pool. Well maintained and good service at pool bar. For the money you spend here we expected much better service and quality and it sadly lacked all of it. Parking underground is limited and will cost 5euros per day but worth it if you can get one. Breakfast buffet was lovely but the coffee (espresso) etc is HORRID! Get better coffee please. Upon check out today not even a thank you or hoped you enjoyed your stay from the two men on the desk. Also a note, that as of Sept 2024 there is a major construction project happening right next door to this hotel & there is a lot is dust from same.Overall poor!
