Hotels in Tavira

Positiv:: Perfect place. I love it !

Positiv:: Location was gorgeous. The facilities, pool, terrace and breakfast were great. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Negativ:: Sometimes there were too few bikes for all the guests.

Positiv:: Very relaxing, in middle of the orange plantation. Rather small hotel with max about 30 people occupancy with plenty if commin spaces. Nice breakfest and a swimming pool.

Negativ:: There is a train passing by the main building every hour ( finishes around 11 pm and starts around 6 or7 am), although a bit noisy it was very charmant:) The village is about 1.2 km away, however the walking road is not well lightened during the night.

Positiv:: Secluded location but beach and restaurants within the walking distance (although it's a rather long walk, ca. 2,5 km). Lots of space, not many people. Very nice personnel. Overall a very aesthetic place.

Negativ:: Too few veggies at breakfest.

Positiv:: The Staff were great and incredibly attentive in catering to a celiac between us. All the care and attention was way beyond expectation, so I can just recommend it if you're looking to have gluten-free options. Very very comfortable room, great breakfast, lovely orange trees and walking distance to the beach. Great for a peaceful holiday on the east coast of Algarve!

Positiv:: Frühstück ausgezeichnet und liebevoll zubereitet. Tolles Obst, gutes Brot, Eierspeisen, Croissants und vieles mehr - es fehlte nichts! Frischer Orangensaft und guter Kaffee. Die Perle von Anlage, mitten in einem Orangenhain, war sehr schön und top gepflegt. Das Personal war super nett; der Hotelmanager hat, nachdem sich meine Tochter auf dem Parkplatz den Finger in der Autotür eingeklemmt hat, uns persönlich schnell ins Krankenhaus gefahren und dort ausgeharrt bis nach der Behandlung. Top - Herr Sergio war unermüdlich! So eine Gästebetreuung geht nur in solchen kleinen, aber feinen Hotelanlagen. Der Pool war ebenfalls gut und gepflegt; ordentliche Größe. Die schöne Dachterrasse hat dazu eingeladen dort am Abend noch ein Weinchen zu trinken.

Negativ:: Die Karte für ein Abendessen im Hotel war sehr eingeschränkt: eine Suppe, Sandwiches und ein paar Salate - mehr gab es leider nicht.

Positiv:: Breakfast was excellent, the surroundings are nice

Negativ:: Pillows are very bad, shower is in the bathtub, rather slippery and no handles to hold on to, get out and in to the main Street (125) is extremely dangerous. As there is no restaurant, except for breakfast, one is obliged to go out to dinner every night, we had booked for 15days but could only go for a week due to health problems. We are both over 70 and I would not recommend this place for people our age

Positiv:: The country/farm experience

Positiv:: The breakfast was really good. The whole feel of the place was more like a Spa experience, it was very chilled and calm. The staff were lovely.

Negativ:: Our room was right beside the dining room so we were very aware of people eating and chatting right beside us. The train running through the estate was noisy as was the road. We borrowed the bikes but they were barely rideable they were so rickety.

Positiv:: ”Quinta dos Perfumes” is an excellent choice for some relaxed days near Tavira and some quiet and nice beaches! The farm is surrounded by beautiful orange trees and has a saltwater swimming pool. The staff is very attentive and friendly! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Positiv:: Uns hat der Urlaub sehr gut gefallen. Das Frühstück war hervorragend - frisch gepresster Orangensaft, Früchte aus dem eigenen Garten, selbstgemachte Kuchen... Alle waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit - wir fanden die unkomplizierte Art aller angenehm und sehr entspannend. Wenn man eine Frage oder ein Anliegen hatte, wurde sofort geholfen. Das Zimmer war immer sauber - genauso wie das gesamte Hotel und der Poolbereich. Der Pool ist genauso schön gelegen wie auf den Fotos - und auch wirklich groß. Wir fanden die Idee, dass das Hotel Räder kostenfrei verleiht, um in den nahegelegenen Ort zu fahren, klasse. Wenn man abends essen gehen wollte, hat man sich einfach in der Abendsonne aufs Rad geschwungen. Es fährt zwar tagsüber ab und zu ein Zug über das Gelände, aber das fanden wir echt nicht schlimm - und wir hatten das Gefühl, dass es auch die anderen Gäste nicht gestört hat. Alles in allem hat uns der Urlaub wunderbar gefallen - vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

Positiv:: The Quinta is wonderful, the guests can enjoy various spaces (pool, rooftop, garden with comfortable beds, small patios for the ground floor rooms, the dinning and living area in the main building) where it feels like home. The staff are always around, ready to fulfill any requests, yet they are very discreet, and give you all the privacy you need. The breakfast was excellent, with a variety of choices, all fresh, and complimentary orange juice, freshly made, cakes and fruits, were kept available for the guests to enjoy during the day. Very nice options for lunch (I loved the salads) which can be served on request, in any of the areas of the quinta. My favourite one was the rooftop, with magnificent views towards the orange fields and further away to the ocean. The property is walking distance to Cabanas de Tavira (I would avoid walking at night though, the road is pretty dark), where you can find some great restaurants (we tried Noelia and Jeronimo, quite famous, and really worth its reputation, and A Grelha, very good too) and a nice beach, easily accessible by boat (just 1.5 Eur for the round trip). Tavira itself, the main town of the region, is only 7 km away. This is a very picturesque little place, which despite the high season, didn´t feel as crowded as other towns in the Algarve. Highly recommend the Quinta dos Perfumes for anyone who wants a peaceful, yet very comfortable, break from the busy life.

Negativ:: This is not under the control of the Quinta, but there is a train passing very close to the property and it can be loud sometimes. After a while you get used to it though, not a big deal.

Positiv:: We had eight days at this lovely guesthouse. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The room was clean, new and with an impressive private terrace area. Breakfast was always fresh and nice. The two resident animals (cat and dog) are charming additions to a really lovely stay. Thought for ages about a downside and all we could only come up with 'it would be nice to have a kettle in the room' but that's it. Utterly charming holiday spot.

Positiv:: Beautiful a little paradis in Portugal. The staff and owners are very friendly and very helpful . Great tips for getting around and restaurant. The breakfast excellent. Will come back here .

Positiv:: Der Aufenthalt im Quinta Almargem Lusitano hat unsere Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen! Schon bei unserer Ankunft eilte der Besitzer aus dem Haus, um einen besseren Parkplatz für unseren großen Van frei zu machen. Beim einchecken versorgte uns Oma dann sofort mit dem unglaublich leckeren Zitronen-Minze-Wasser, während die Dame des Hauses sich um den Check-in kümmerte. Danach zeigte sie uns das unglaublich süße Grundstück und unser Zimmer. Alles war ganz neu, total sauber und mit ganz viel Liebe gestaltet. Es ist ein extrem niedlicher Familienbetrieb und das zeigte sich bei jeder Gelegenheit. Beim Frühstück gab es sogar frisch gepressten Orangensaft und Omas Zauberwasser

Negativ:: Das einzige, das nicht perfekt war, ist die Lage. Man muss mit dem Auto in die Stadt fahren, was allerdings kein Problem war, da es in Tavira ausreichend kostenlose Parkplätze gibt.

Positiv:: Everything, down to the smallest loving touches. A rural feel just a very short distance from the town center. Lina and her husband took excellent care of us on our short stay and made us feel so welcome. Greeted with fresh juice from their orchard and the best breakfast on our trip the next morning. Megan and Vladimir (that’s us)will be back! ...and we’ll recommend to our friends to stay here.

Positiv:: The colours and decoration are cozy. Owners were very gentle and welcoming. It was a nice place e to stay.

Positiv:: We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is charming, clean and well cared for.. The owners welcoming but unobtrusive. The weather was superb so we were able to enjoy the pool. Lovely!

Negativ:: I would have liked a bigger room but it was August and we made a late booking.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück ist sehr gut! Es war immer genug von allem da und es gab viel Auswahl. Saubere und gepflegte Anlage!

Negativ:: Die Anlage ist für die doch sehr vielen Zimmer eher klein. Das Personal ist etwas "kontrollierend", bei jedem Frühstück wurden wir mehrmals nach der Zimmernummer gefragt, die Zimmer wurden trotz "Bitte-nicht-stören"-Schild betreten und gereinigt.

Positiv:: The breakfast was excellent, a great selection to choose from. A family run hotel, they were so lovely and welcoming. Nothing was to much trouble and everywhere was so clean and fab decor. A very enjoyable stay.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Breakfast was superb, fresh fruit, pastries, cakes, etc., everyday. Guest family was super nice and welcoming.

Negativ:: The other guests could have been more considerate.

Positiv:: Really nice decor, clean and spacious room, good pool, good breakfast, nice outdoor space to relax. We were welcomed with a fresh orange juice :)

Negativ:: Info: Its not in the center of Tavira, but for us it was ok.

Positiv:: Everything was formidable. Very high service level, never seen before!!

Negativ:: No points about this!

Positiv:: Very clean room , could not fault, comfortable bed , excellent water pressure in the shower , all areas pleasant and well kept , excelente breakfast with a good selection of foods , Great coffee, and Lina very professional , great service , thank you

Positiv:: We loved our stay at Monte do Alamo. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The breakfasts every morning were great. The location, just outside Tavira, was perfect. We had dinner with the hosts one evening which was wonderful. They also organised a picnic hamper for us one day and offer a weekly yoga class which we took part in. We also loved their dogs!

Negativ:: Nothing that I can think of.

Positiv:: Breakfast was so good and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The cooking class with Ines was great fun. Great dogs.

Negativ:: There was nothing I did't like. My husband would have liked a swimming pool but there was a plunge pool.

Positiv:: A peaceful place surrounded by trees where you can relax and chill out even in August. A tasty breakfast served outside has made my days!

Positiv:: Sehr schöne Lage mit Blick auf Tavira und das Meer. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und viele Aktivitäten im Angebot! Wir kommen irgendwann gerne wieder.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge. Sehr nah an allen wichtigen Straßen.

Negativ:: Wenn man echt Ruhe sucht Ist man hier falsch. Die naheliegender Straßen hört man Tag und Nacht. Das Gelände und die Lage lassen das zuerst einmal nicht vermuten. Ein Verweilen am Haus gefiel und deshalb nicht. Große Stromleitungen führen direkt über das Grundstück.

Positiv:: Die ausgezeichnete Lage zum entspannen und ,,runter kommen „ Die selbstverständliche Freundlichkeit vom ganzen Haus. Und man, war das ein Dinner!!

Negativ:: Es gab nur 2 liebe Hunde

Positiv:: Locations, staff, breakfast and view.

Negativ:: The bed was a little to hard for me, but that’s because I have a sore back at the moment.

Positiv:: The setting was beautiful with lots of lovely places to sit and relax in the gardens. The breakfast of fresh, locally grown produce was delicious. The owner and all of her staff were fantastic.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Loved the view from the house, the delicious breakfasts, the staff and sitting under the stars. Rural property close to town. We were welcomed and took advantage of the beautiful dinner on offer. Fresh baking and smells from the kitchen were amazing.

Negativ:: Beds a little hard. Missed having a small fridge. Would be nice to have self serve coffee from a pot in the morning.

Positiv:: Der Gesamteindruck war hervorragend. Die Anlage wurde mit viel Liebe konzipiert, die Mitarbeiter sind durchweg zuvorkommend und freundlich und man erkennt, dass hinter Monte do Alamo ein Konzept steckt! Das beginnt bereits beim Frühstück, das ohne Wurst und künstliche Produkte auskommt. Wir als Fleischfresser fanden dies zur Abwechslung ganz hervorragend. Die Feigenmarmelade war zum niederknien und das frisch gepflückte Obst schmeckt im Urlaub ohnehin besser. Die Zimmer waren geräumig, super sauber und gemütlich. Überall auf dem Gelände fanden sich idyllische Rückzugsorte. Die beiden vor Ort lebenden Hunde gehören einfach zur Anlage und waren auch nicht im Ansatz störend. Nach Tavira müsste man ca 20 Minuten laufen oder 5 Minuten mit dem Auto fahren. Wir sind den Schotterweg fast täglich gelaufen, was wir nicht als störend empfunden haben. Das Städtchen Tavira ist übrigens auch traumhaft. Hier empfehlen wir das Restaurant A Barquinha. Der täglich wechselnde Fisch ist ebenso ein Gedicht wie der hierzu immer gereichte Fisch.

Negativ:: Wer gern ein paar Bahnen drehen möchte, für den ist der Pool deutlich zu klein. Das Holzdach der Zimmer arbeitet in der Nacht, wenn es etwas kühler wird. Teilweise geht dies mit heftigen und lauten Schlägen einher, was zu Einschränkungen der Nachtruhe führt. Uns persönlich hat es weniger gestört, da wir ohnehin überaus erholt waren.

Positiv:: Rosario and Luis are the best people in the world! breakfast, room service, dinner with the guests, the sky full of stars, everything is perfect. Really one of the best hotels in the Algarve.

Negativ:: Nothing, everything is perfect!

Positiv:: Frisches Frühstück Freundlicher, netter und unkomplizierter Kontakt Wunderschönes gepflegtes Gelände mit Pool und Hängematten Zimmer sauber, geschmackvolle Einrichtung, Liebe fürs Detail Schönes Badezimmer

Positiv:: friendly staff, nice breakfast, lovely view, peace and quiet. Great place for couples, families and everyone who desires nice break from a hectic life. I spent there very romantic time with my girlfriend. It was excellent choice :)

Positiv:: Sehr sympathisches und hilfsbereites Personal, schöne Terrasse, gutes Frühstück, sehr ruhige Lage, Zimmer schön eingerichtet, insgesamt sehr gute Erholung möglich

Negativ:: Wirklich ein sehr schönes Hotel, aber nur mit Auto sinnvoll (nach Tavira sind es mit Auto nur fünf Minuten)

Positiv:: A beautiful spot and made to feel very at home.

Positiv:: wonderful location, facilities, staff is very nice

Positiv:: The very kind reception and personal appraoch of the landlady.

Negativ:: Just not everything was ready. Ther were some works on a terrace. Not to disturbing!

Positiv:: I liked the fact that it was near Tavira and yet quiet. Also, it so a fair distance from my favorite beach, Cacela. My room was big and quite comfortable, and the bed was wonderfull. The bathroom was also very nice

Negativ:: I think they really need to improve the acess road to the hotel and I would have liked a pool. Also, I think the surrounding garden needs some improvement

Positiv:: Very peaceful place but near of Tavira.

Negativ:: The acceses to the hotel.

Positiv:: The rural setting and relative closeness to Tavira for restaurants and bars

Negativ::

Positiv:: - zentrale Lage - Freundliches Personal - geniale Lounge auf dem Dach

Negativ:: - Zimmer im EG direkt an Strasse - keinen Pool

Positiv:: Very much enjoyed the decor, which reflected the owner's personal and eclectic taste. The renovation of the living room was fabulous, and the other common areas were also appreciated. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was very nice and plentiful with variety of fresh fruit, breads, meat/cheese, pastries. The staff was exceptional—extremely welcoming and friendly with helpful info about the town and environs.

Negativ:: Bed was a little hard for our taste (and we like a firm mattress!), but still comfortable enough.

Positiv:: Personal war sehr nett, z.T auch deutschsprachig, Frühstück erst ab 8.30 Uhr, was für Frühaufsteher wie uns sehr spät ist. Kein Buffet, sondern gedeckter Tisch, Kaffee aus Filterpresskanne, der etwas Satz hatte. Das Haus ist wunderbar restauriert, riecht aber leider trotz mehrfacher Duftspender etwas muffig und ist im Erdgeschoss, wo wir zwei Zimmer hatten feucht, selbst im Hochsommer!! das haben wir als unangenehm empfunden.

Negativ:: Dass es kein Frühstücksbuffet gab, dass es erst ab 8.30 Uhr überhaupt Frühstück gab. Feuchtigkeit im Haus im Hochsommer, keine Parkmöglichkeit direkt am Haus

Positiv:: Everthing about this wonderful, beautiful, very well restored house. The living areas and rooms are tastefully restored and full of lovely ideas for home.

Negativ:: Very well located to the centre of Tavira. The staff are very friendly and obliging. The rooms are very comfortable and clean with great showers and high quality beds. Air conditioning was a wonderful bonus. The breakfast is fantastic and the outdoor spaces are very private particularly the roof garden for relaxing and chilling. Cannot wait to go back.

Positiv:: Very comfortable, welcoming and personal. Stylish design and much care evident in the refurbishment. Loved it.

Positiv:: Everything. The beautiful restored old house has a wonderful decoration. I loved the mix decor, a bit portuguese, morish, art nouveau and modern. The living room and dining rooms are just amazing. The rooms are surprisingly large (I stayed in a suite), and the bed linen, as well as the towels are bright new, soft and refined. The house has just 9 rooms and it feels you are almost al home. Patios and terrace are so relaxing... The house is located in a very quiet street but next to the centre of Tavira. Paula and the rest of the staff were very nice and warm. I loved the very good breakfast in the patio or in the dining room. This is the kind of hotel that makes you long for more and more travelling.

Negativ:: Nothing!!

Positiv:: Great location - 5 minutes walk from station and town centre. Lovely suite with direct access to roof terrace. Very helpful host and staff and excellent breakfast.

Negativ:: No fridge in the suite.

Positiv:: Amazing location and with very nice staff. Room Very clean and spacey. Nothing to complain :)

Negativ:: Since the building is a bit old sometimes we can smell the humidity on the stairs and it would be nice to place some candles to burn on the entry and rooms.

Positiv:: In diesem sehr familiär geführten Hotel wird man sehr herzlich und freundlich empfangen. Es ist ein liebevoll restauriertes, wunderschönes Haus. Das Frühstück ist großartig und die Dachterrasse ist am Abend und in der Nacht perfekt.

Positiv:: There is not a thing that I would change!! The breakfast served by the lovely staff was superb! The intimate sitting areas throughout the building were a delight! And the roof top was a marvelous way to watch a full moon rise! All very lovely! Thank you!

Positiv:: Fantastic welcome, beautiful hotel, so charming.

Negativ:: Couldn’t fault anything

Positiv:: A 160 year old mansion which has been fabulously restored and is full of character. Brilliant location, walking distance from the train station, town centre and most historic sites. Very homely ambiance with attentive staff.

Negativ:: If there is one improvement to suggest that would be for the breakfast to have a bit more variety. Although to be fair, there was a note at the table to request for any special requests.

Positiv:: Fantastic place to stay with shared terraces. Apartment was well laid out and very spacious. Great bathroom. Facilities very good.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Gorgeous old building, staff couldn't be nicer, Beautiful location. Sun terrace so lovely, like stepping back in time, highly recommend

Negativ:: Ferry not running yet from doorstep so had to walk 2km or get a taxi.

Positiv:: Perfect location by the river; many restaurants nearby. Loved the patio for breakfast and the rooftop sun terrace. Room was spacious, comfortable, and had lots of closest/storage space; bathroom was well-fitted. Optional breakfast was excellent; loved the changing daily assortment of wonderful Portuguese breads and pastries.. Would definitely recommend hiring a bike and visiting Barril Beach (especially to see the anchor graveyard) and Sta. Luzia for a wonderful seafood lunch. Easy 7km ride.

Negativ:: On-site staff speak little or no English, but the manager was always available by phone, if needed. Not the guesthouse's fault, but the in-town ferry service to the beach (just steps from Casa Beleza) hasn't been operating for quite a while. It's a 1.2km walk to the other ferry location; flat and not a big problem, just not as convenient.

Positiv:: Lovely, very stylish place, like a boutique hotel. The breakfast on the wonderful rooftop terrace was also fabulous. And don't worry: Even though you can't park at the place for longer, you can drop your bags and then park your car in a nearby free public parking lot, about a 3min walking distance.

Positiv:: Paola is a great engaging host made us feel very welcome the location couldn’t be better close to everything in tavira rooftop patio is such a great space to eat breakfast or to enjoy the stars after a busy day

Negativ:: The only thing that would have been better is if we would have stayed more than 4 days it’s that enjoyable for our time there nothing could have been better Paola is doing it right

Positiv:: Gute Lage, das liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer, das freundliche Personal und besonders die herrliche Dachterrasse.

Negativ:: Alles ok

Negativ:: Great location!!

Positiv:: Wir hatten die blaue Suite gebucht. Sie ist toll restauriert und eingerichtet. Es passt alles. Und die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum. Es ist ein altes Haus und hin und wieder bröckelt bei so einem Haus eben der Putz. Das gehört irgendwie auch dazu. Unser Zimmer war absolut sauber und gemütlich. Man wohnt zentral und alles ist fussläufig zu erreichen. Die Chefin Paola hat uns herzlich begrüßt und alles erklärt. Ihre Restaurantempfehlungen waren einfach klasse. Wer das authentische Portugal auch bei der Übernachtung erleben möchte ist hier goldrichtig.

Negativ:: Nicht Gefallen hat uns einzig und allein nur das sehr harte Bett. Aber auch das ist Geschmacksache.

Positiv:: Beautiful apartment in an excellent location - we couldn't have asked for more. The traditional architecture and decor is so lovely and has such a comfortable atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The roof terrace is wonderful with views across Tavira. We'd love to go back!

Positiv:: Authentic loads of space in the mosaic suite

Negativ:: Lack of smoke detectors or fire extinguishers

Positiv:: Large comfortable suite with everything we needed. Cleaned and tidied every day. Lovely roof garden for relaxing.

Positiv:: I loved the old style shabby chic decor of this old townhouse, which has been very sympathetically restored by its architect owner. The location could not have been better, at the quieter end of Tavira with some very good restaurants nearby. In particular we loved Joao Belhi Cine Nostalgia Restaurant, which seems to be a favourite of the locals with its simple decor but superb fish and seafood, try the sardines, some of the best we have had and we live in Spain so its a favourite of ours. Good wifi, and luxury soap and lotion in the bathroom together with fresh ground coffee were nice touches.

Negativ:: Nothing, we liked everything

Positiv:: The Rustic Style, privacy. Very beautiful decoration.

Negativ:: The duplex only had one heater and was very cold in November, no additional blankets also did not help. Gate very difficult to open. The internet was not wireless and the cable was to short to allow the use of the pc comfortably. But I would recommend as these issues can be solved easily.

Positiv:: Area, Remoteness, very kind host with precious tips, pool, view, terrace

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Delightfully serene, gracious staff. A wonderful spot to relax, hike and swim. Delicious food and attentive hosts, very informative about logistics such as car rentals as well as Portuguese culture and geography.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: The bedrooms were very spacious and so were the bathrooms. The staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Positiv:: Excellent breakfast with fresh homemade and regional products. Large rooms with comfortable beds and everything very clean. Great landscape view, good pool, near the beach and restaurants, you only need to have a car. Very kind and polite staff.

Positiv:: We enjoyed the attention of our hosts and the delicious food we were served, as well as the rustic outdoor countryside, which reminded us a lot of our country.

Negativ:: Roads are very narrow, so do not drive too fast around potential blind spots.

Positiv:: Peaceful surroundings, lovely pool with views of the hills. Close enough to get to the beaches and hills beyond. Only 30 minutes from Faro and 90 minutes from Seville. The staff were all extremely helpful and had a host of insider knowledge to help us make the most of our visit to this beautiful region of Portugal. Would highly recommend.

Negativ:: Loved everything about the property. The only downside is that due to its peaceful location, it is accessed by narrow winding roads. A little unnerving if you haven't driven a left hand drive car for a while.

Positiv:: Everything was perfect. From the first minute to the last. Great staff, great food, great location. A paradise. Really quiet. I wish I could have stay longer.

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: Sehr reichhaltiges Frühstück auf schöner Terrasse mit Blick in die Landschaft. Sehr ruhig gelegen, schöne Landschaft. Grosse Zimmer, Sehr nettes Personal. Besitzer gibt einem persönlich nützliche Tipps.

Negativ:: Nichts. Allerdings muss man sich bewusst sein, dass das Hotel abgelegen liegt. Ein Auto ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Positiv:: Excellent location in center of town. Good/safe parking. Good pool area considering location of hotel.

Positiv:: Excellent breakfast, room very clean, all staff friendly

Negativ:: No

Positiv:: Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Entspannen, zum einfach sein. Umgeben von einer typischen algarvischen Hügellandschaft und ausgesprochen nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal, feinem Frühstück, gutem Essen und gutem Wein. Wir freuen uns schon auf ein nächstes Mal!!

Positiv:: location was superb -just the right feeling of remoteness. great, large pool just outside our room was a bonus. we enjoyed talking with one of the breakfast staff, Mergurida, in particuler

Positiv:: Central location in Tavaria, good view of city from balcony and good breakfast.

Negativ:: Nothing all was fine with the hotel.

Positiv:: Breakfast

Positiv:: Room was updated and clean. Greatpool and city view.

Negativ:: Hard to situate 2 large bags. One went inside wardrobe the other would have been better on a luggage stand instead of the floor.

Positiv:: Good location, good friendly and efficient staff,

Negativ:: Outside looking slightly tired

Positiv:: Tolle Dachterrasse mit gutem Programm, ruhig gelegen und mit Bahn gut erreichbar (Porta Nueva)

Positiv:: Super Frühstück. Zimmer, Pool sauber. Personal sehr nett und nicht aufdringlich

Positiv:: The stand out point for me at this hotel are the staff. Everyone from the reception to the bars and restaurants were excellent, very friendly and courteous. The breakfast was very enjoyable especially as they don't use automated coffee machines and provide lovely big mugs for your tea or coffee. All the food was very fresh and a very good quality. The restaurant itself is very comfortable. most mornings they had a piano player which was a lovely touch. The rooftop bar is very modern with great views. The pool area is a good size and we were always able to get sunbeds. The hotel is well located and just a short walk to the centre of town.

Negativ:: My wife and I found the beds in our room to be a little on the hard side and I didn't enjoy the plastic undersheet on the bed. The rooms are a good size but the wardrobes are badly designed with only one small draw in the entire bedroom. Although there are many lights in the room which add to the overall design we felt that they didn't provide sufficient light. Some of the steps getting down into the pool are in need of repair. Traveler TIP: The minibar fridge is housed behind a door in the wardrobe which affects the ability of the fridge to operate properly (the area inside overheats when its closed and the fridge is not very cold because of this). This can be overcome by leaving the wardrobe door open.

Positiv:: Location was excellent. Staff excellent

Negativ:: The hotel is a little pricey. Bed was uncomfortable and pillows were tiny.

Positiv:: The staff were very helpful. The pool was good. The reception area was excellent.

Negativ:: No milk in the fridge.

Positiv:: Great hotel. Great facilities and the staff were excellent. Overall one of the best hotels we have stayed in and we will be back.

Positiv:: I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times its in a great location very close to the town,we had a pool view on the 3rd floor with great views over the town

Negativ:: could have had an ironing board

Positiv:: Excellent front desk staff, very friendly and helpful. The Porter was amazing.

Negativ:: AC System was poor and room was uncomfortably warm to sleep. Cockroach hanging out in bathroom.

Positiv:: Lovely pool, friendly receptionist, historic building

Negativ:: Slow service at bar, room small for 2 adults and 2 children

Positiv:: Das Hotel ist ein ehemaliges Konvent und an sich schon sehenswert. Eines der schönsten Hotels unserer Portugalreise. Es liegt ganz in der Nähe des Zentrums, alles ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Personal ist superfreundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück war fabelhaft. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Positiv:: Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Personal an der Rezeption und im Restaurant sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich, Frühstück und Abendessen sehr gut, schöner Pool, Zentrum gut erreichbar.

Negativ:: im Vergleich zu anderen Pousadas ist diese eine der Schönsten.

Positiv:: We have known Tavira for many years, we have always wanted to stay at the Pousada, this time visiting it was our Honeymoon so we had to, it lived up to all of our expectations, a wonderful experience, beautiful hotel with excellent, welcoming staff!

Positiv:: The hotel is in a perfect location. We parked our car in the hotel lot and walked into town for dinner and to catch the ferry to the beach. I loved the peaceful courtyard it was beautiful.

Positiv:: Comfy bed

Negativ:: Breakfast no tables set and waiting staff not attentive

Positiv:: The convent in its old style was beautiful and breakfast was excellent

Negativ:: The room The noise in room The broken electric circuits which meant we had to turn off all electrical to stop the persistent noise The air conditioner was broken & the hotel only went to fix it at 10pm The front desk manager was rude when we told her about our room experience and the technical faults - she dismissed us & told us to take it up with booking.com - very poor customer service

Positiv:: Staff

Negativ:: No tea or coffee in room.

Positiv:: I loved the building & the history around it. It had a calming atmosphere & was a relaxing place to stay.

Negativ:: When you order food - lunch & dinner, I like to get my drink to start, but here, it takes a while. You need to have lots of time. I had dinner one night & I ordered a bottle of wine & main course & waited 25 mins approx or maybe longer & my wine did not arrive until my main course!

Positiv:: Imposantes altes Kloster, umgebaut als Pousada. Sehr ruhig, schöner Poolgarten und Innenhof.

Negativ:: Das Frühstück etwas unter dem guten Durchschnitt in der Algarve. Zum Beispiel keine frisch zubereitete Eierspeisen. Dusche mit Badewanne kombiniert und in die Jahre gekommen. Personal nicht freundlich, ausser an der Rezeption.

Positiv:: Location to the old town. The reception staff spoke English well and were very helpful especially Annabelle The old building is beautiful. The pool area is ver nice.

Negativ:: The addition to the hotel looks added on. I would prefer one of the original rooms which we had. The restaurant area was a bit drab.

Positiv:: Fantastic hotel. Incredible reception staff . Appalling bar staff . This really added a very frustrating element to our stay .

Negativ:: Bar staff were very inefficient .

Positiv:: The host was n unusual and engaging person! Art work throughout the location was wonderful. We will return as soon as we can.

Negativ:: That we could stay longer.

Positiv:: The property is beautiful and the open area around the pool is great.

Negativ:: There are chairs and tables are away from the pool but you can't eat there. You can't flush toilet paper but the bin isn't cleaned every day. The place is nice however it feels like you're staying in your parents house with all their rules but having to pay premium hotel rates.

Positiv:: Pretty. Close to town. Near the bus depot so handy for getting in and out of town.

Negativ:: A lot of stairs. Close to a train trestle so a little noisy. No options for breakfast. Had to walk into town.

Positiv:: Our 3rd visit says it all, an oasis in tavira, pool is wonderful and peaceful. Thanks Sebastian again.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Great host. Quirky place full of art and lovely little pool. Thoroughly recommended and close to the centre of town

Positiv:: Decor Room Location Balcony Pool

Negativ:: Pre-arranged checkin time No staff No breakfast included Terrible shower

Positiv:: Relaxing elegant and stylish property. Lovely salt water pool. Central location near to all that Tavira offers.

Negativ:: Would have been good to have laundry and tea and coffee facilities for the price.

Negativ:: Sabastio was an excellent host and we are so lucky that we got to stay in his fantastic home. It was so quiet and peaceful that we felt like we were in our own private Villa. Pool area was beautiful and very relaxing and what we needed. Would recommend highly. If you get a chance to stay here take it

Positiv:: We like so much our stay here. The place created with lots of love and imagination is really special and has a very friendly and wellcoming atmosphere! And it is beautiful !

Positiv:: Uniqueness and decor of this interesting house and the host who was very helpful and informative.

Positiv:: sehr schöner Salzwasserpool, sehr gepflegter schöner Aussenbereich! Das Zimmer ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sebastio ist ein sehr lustiger, gut gelaunter Gastgeber. Der Zug stört überhaupt nicht, hab ihn eigentlich nur 2-3 mal gehört, zu einer zeit, wo man nicht schläft. Lage sehr gut, man geht nur 5 min in die Stadt. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Negativ:: Das Bad ein wenig veraltet und wenn man auf ganz weiche Betten steht dann ist die erste Nacht ev ein bisschen hart.

Positiv:: Sehr herzliche und lustige Begrüßung vom Hausherren Sebastiao! Wir fanden ein sehr schickes und detailverliebtes Hostel vor, welches unseren Ansprüchen komplett gerecht wurde und mit seiner künstlerischen Einrichtung seines gleichen sucht. Man merkt, dass sich Sebastiao und seine Frau sehr viel Mühe geben, um ihren Gästen einen entspannten Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen. Durch Zufall bekamen wir noch ein Upgrade welches ein Zimmer mit Balkon und Blick auf den Fluss beinhaltete. Wir waren wirklich sehr zufrieden! Zu Fuß erreicht man in wenigen Minuten den Bahnhof und den Stadtkern von Talvira und von den Bootsanlegern fährt man per Fähre zum vorgelagerten Strand, der wirklich zum entspannen einlädt. Wir hatten eine super Zeit, obregado Sebastiao!

Negativ:: -

Positiv:: Great restaurant and great family hotel

Positiv:: Sehr gutes Frühstück, tolle Suite, Restaurant Neubau, Lage etwas laut

Negativ:: Gegenstand des Hauptgebäudes

Positiv:: The pool is very beautiful Breakfast gorgeous Sea view from good garden nice Personnel very kind

Negativ:: The menu in the Orange Bistrot Price list for cocktails and drinks too high

Positiv:: Die Zimmer sind sehr schön,der Poolbereich hat uns ich sehr gefallen..Dazu ein sehr feines Frühstück mit Meerblick.

Positiv:: Schöner Poolbereich mit ausreichend Liegen. Tolle Aussenterrasse. Inneneinrichtung des Hotels architektonisch ansprechend gestaltet. Hervorragendes Frühstück im dritten Stock mit Meerblick.

Negativ:: Wir hatten leider eine Ameisenstrasse durch das Zimmer, und das vierte „Bett“ als unterer Auszug des Schlafsofas ist für einen längeren Aufenthalt bedingt tauglich. WLAN Empfang sehr schlecht

Positiv:: Breakfast was great

Positiv:: The rest view

Negativ:: The far away location

Positiv:: Very comfortable room and excellent powerful shower. The breakfast was included in the price and was lovely, all staff members were ultra helpful from front desk to the guys doing maintenance. They even sorted me out my own lock up for my motorcycle.

Negativ:: if your wanting peace and quiet this won't be for you there are plenty of kids it is after all a family oriented hotel plenty of 30 somethings with 2.5 kids.

Positiv:: Great location, midway between Tavira and Cabanas with a fantastic shuttle service to both courtesy of the hotel. Staff were excellent, hotel was relaxing with great facilities.

Positiv:: Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and clean comfortable rooms. The facilities were beautiful and clean.

Positiv:: Location: this is not a hotel close to the beach, but they do have a service to transport their guests to the beaches of Ilha de Tavira and Cabanas de Tavira (for this one, they include the taxi-boat ticket for all guests). Breakfast: it has a good variety although they could have more fruit options (in my opinion, of course). Cleanliness: the room was cleaned every day and everything was very well cleaned. Comfort: the space was adequate (we were two adults + two children), the bed was comfortable although the couch was not so much (expect what you may expect from sleeping in a couch, I guess). Our room had a small refrigerator that allowed us to store some small bottles of water; the refrigerator has no freezer. Free safe to store your belongings. Facilities: apart from the pool, we didn't use any of the hotel facilities. The pool was very good, and the same applies to the pool space: there were enough pool chairs and even when you didn't manage to get one pool chair, you could always resort to lay down with your towel in the grass (either under the sun or under a shadow). This hotel supplies pool towels, you just have to pay a deposit of 20€ that will be returned on check-out. You may change the pool towels every three days. Staff: nice and competent More things, in general: I never felt that the hotel was overcrowded, i.e., the breakfast room could be full at some time (mostly when approaching the 9:30) and sometimes (very rarely) you could not have a pool chair available but if you waited a few minutes, the staff would get you a table for breakfast. This vacation was a bit more expensive than what I generally spend, but since it includes breakfast (I usually go to apartments) and it was August, I guess it is an "adequate" rate. A note on Cabanas de Tavira: very nice beach, taxi-boats are fast and you don't need to wait too long, we went by car to the village and perfectly managed to park the car at no cost.

Positiv:: Schöner Swimmingpool, schöne Liegefläche am Pool

Negativ:: Restaurant mit einem sehr arroganten und unfreundlichen Kellner Hotel befindet sich an einer Hauptstraße, ohne Auto kann das Hotel nicht verlassen werden

Positiv:: Proximity & boat direct from hotel to Island w amazing beach. Quiet place Kind staff-especially dining room Excellent breakfast. Dinner food was good. Many Portuguese & European guests Turkish steam

Negativ:: No outside hot tub near pool. Existing hot tub in spa is poor Spa closes early

Positiv:: Die Unterkunft hat eine super Lage. Toll ist das Angebot vom Hotel, dass man für 3€ auf die nahegelegenen Inseln und zurück gefahren wird. Die Anlage ist sehr groß, dennoch verteilt sich die Menschenmenge ganz gut und es ist wider erwartend sehr ruhig.

Negativ:: Auffallend war, dass mindestens die Hälfte der Poolliegen über viele Stunden hinweg mit Handtüchern besetzt wurden so dass man oftmals keinen Platz bekommen hat, obwohl er da war. Das ist aber meiner Meinung nach eine Unsitte vieler Leute; könnte jedoch durch das Hotel unterbunden werden.

Positiv:: Lage Anlage

Negativ:: Schnacke Geruch im Zimmer Essensauswahl Zimmergröße

Positiv:: Sehr schöne gepflegte Anlage mit Tauchschule. Bemühtes aber leider oft unprofessionelles Personal.

Negativ:: Qualität des Essens für den Preis (Buffet 25€ ohne Getränke), kleine Zimmer ohne Stauraum für Kleidung und keine Möglichkeit nasse Badesachen aufzuhängen - dafür ein blinkender Rauchmelder direkt über dem Bett), keine Belege mit Preisen wenn aufs Zimmer geschrieben wurde (Transparenz?), Ansprache, Betreuung und Programm vor allem für portugiesische Familien (Kinder unter 12J. kostenlos - entsprechend war das Publikum)

Positiv:: Gepflegte Anlage mit netten Zimmern, schönen Garten und großem Pool. Ideal für Kinder. Ruhesuchende sollten auf die (mit dem shuttleboot) gut erreichbaren Strände ausweichen. Frühstück sehr gut. Auch das abendbuffet durchaus ansprechend. Immer die Möglichkeit im Freien auf der Terrasse zu sitzen. Meist am Abend sehr nette Lifemusik. Unserem Wunsch auf ein neues Zimmer, weil das erste kein Fenster, nur eine Türe (die man in der Nacht zwar öffnen könnte aber ebenerdig mit offener Türe schläft man nicht so gut) hatte. Wurde sofort entsprochen und wir haben ein Zimmer mit Türe und Fenster bekommen. Betten waren sehr gut. Das Spa ist sehr schön, die Massagen sind aber bessere Streicheleinheiten auf unbequemen Massagebetten.

Negativ:: Sehr viele Kinder - für kinderlose Paare - nicht ganz so angenehm. In der Nacht sind oft zu wenig Parkplätze. Ohne Auto sehr abgelegen. Bootsshuttle ist doppelt so teuer wie der öffentliche(der nicht erreichbar ist). Das alles ist aber Jammern auf hohem Niveau um etwas zu finden was auszusetzen wäre ...

Positiv:: Good breakfast buffet and a la carte evening meal. Quiet location. Comfortable room.

Negativ:: Delayed, inefficient check-in. Mosquitoes in dining room. Lunch buffet was running out of food before end of period. Hotel is too far out of Tavira to walk into town, so you are stuck with the hotel's restaurant if you want wine with dinner. Swimming pool was dirty and the gym minimally equipped. Overall, far too expensive at published rate, but a lot of the guests seemed to be on a package from Spain. I'd suggest investigating there for cheaper deals.

Positiv:: The location, the surroundings and the staff

Negativ:: Menu is somewhat limited

Negativ:: Black hair in the bathroom. YUCK

Positiv:: Lovely location and quick boat trip to island. Good breakfast selection great pool.

Negativ:: Air conditioning not good enough, having to pay for the safe , didn't like the soap and shower soap like in the bottles. Needs a little shop that sells papers etc.

Positiv:: breakfast, nature, Hotel boat to the Beach, Tavire, St luzia, athmosphere, staf

Negativ:: Information and maps.

Positiv:: Location is great, you do need a car or Uber though if you want to go into town!

Negativ:: Would have expected tea / coffee making facilities in the room and an iron.

Positiv:: Clean, spacious rooms in a very nice colonial setting. Good breakfast and dinner buffet. Good bar. Nice pool, a kids area and relaxed atmosphere, because this is a no hassle place. Not overcrowded whatsoever. Note: the bellman/concierge is an enormous hardworking man.

Negativ:: It would be nice to have some explanation of your whereabouts as the hotel is out of Tavira. For example a layout of the beaches. Because there's more than the boat to the islands (at the islands all the beds are reserved, so that's a bit of disappointing). For this hotel a car is much appreciated. Then the town is a small ride. Hotel provides bikes, which can bring you past the salt lakes.

Positiv:: Super quiet, relaxing break with great views. Once those big fort doors close behind you, you are in a world of tranquillity with Cecilia on hand to ensure that you have a great stay.

Negativ:: It is made perfectly clear upfront - breakfast aside (great by the way), there is no catering or formal bar in the fort. There are many bars & restaurants 10 mins walk away. Bring a torch for the walk home in the dark.

Positiv:: Der Ort inmitten der Natur, direkt am Meer und trotzdem sehr nahe zu den besten Restaurants war perfekt!

Negativ:: Ausserhalb des Forts ist alles eingezäunt und mit Durchgangsverbotsschildern versehen, da diese Grundstücke einem schwierigen Nachbarn gehören. Somit hat man das Gefühl man betrete das Fort durch verbotenes Gebiet.

Positiv:: The fortress is an impressive building. Cecilia is a very welcoming host. Breakfast was simple and good. Amazing coffee.

Negativ:: There is no direct access to the beach, you have to go to Cabanas and face the crowds to get the taxiboat. There is no meals service available in the fort, you have to drive to Cabanas to have dinner in jammed restaurants - this spoiled the quietness we were looking for. Some bedrooms have no AC which is not acceptable. Bedrooms are poorly furnished: it lacks a coffee/ tea pots even a trash bin is lacking. Mattresses should be better as the bed linen and pillows- standard should definitely be raised. Toiletries are minimal hairblower not available. Lacks information about the fortress. This is a place with a huge potential to provide singular & unique experiences but it needs more imagination and professionalism.

Positiv:: Es war alles einfach perfekt, das Zimmer, die Lage, das Frühstück, die Empfehlungen .... es war mega schön

Positiv:: Alles

Negativ:: Nichts

Positiv:: Everything about the fort was wonderful - from our host Cecilia to the room and the fort itself. The location is spectacular and in a great position - just a short walk along the beach to a long boardwalk of restaurants with lots of choice and great cuisine. The fort gave us a very relaxing few days. Sitting by the pool under an olive tree up high on the ramparts was so soothing. Breakfast each morning on the ramparts facing the sea made for a great start to each day. When you first walk through the massive wooden doors to the fort the central courtyard offers a spectacular welcome. Cecilia creates such a warm and pleasant atmosphere - it was like staying with a friend! We can’t wait to return.

Negativ:: There was nothing to dislike.

Positiv:: It is a perfect place to disconnect and relax. The location is excellent and the facilities are very tasteful and comfortable. The host is very generous and attentive to guests. The breakfast's view and sunset are divine!

Positiv:: This was a very special place to stay. Stunning scenery and very peaceful. Cecilia and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. We loved having breakfast overlooking the sea and observing the stars at night.

Positiv:: The uniqueness of the location and the venue. The person who runs the hotel is superb and makes you feel like you belong and very welcomed.

Negativ:: The only thing I didn’t live was the bed. For me too hard although my husband liked it!

Positiv:: Beautiful place, very nice atmosphere, sweet people, amazing restaurant close by

Positiv:: The hotel is very well located

Negativ:: When you pay 310 euros you expect a bit more of services and equipments(250 the rooms and 60 euros extrabeds for my 6 and 7years old kids) Its totally over priced I totally agree to pay such price Even more expensive if its worth it Honestly speaking in this hotel ... i find it totally unfair...even the breakfast was not that nice They offered us eggs the second day... You have to wait until 9 to get a coffee!.. the mini bar in the room is totally empty... etc etc When you ask price of 4 stars hotel ... it needs to follow You cant just take and not give back... Well it was very disappointing

Positiv:: Loved the history and architectural integrity!

Negativ:: Would have loved a dinner option.

Positiv:: Great location. Lovely breakfast

Negativ:: The overbath Shower didn’t have any grab rail and the nonslip surface wasn’t great. Very slippery stepping out of shower.

Positiv:: Love this place so much

Positiv:: Umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet, zuvorkommendes Personal an der Rezeption, sehr gute Lage.

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: Blankets in bed, cleanliness of the room, decor in the lobby

Positiv:: Location in close proximity to the many great restaurants, is ideal. Bouffet dinner brilliant and reasonable. Lovely swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Negativ:: Everything about this hotel is just great. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Positiv:: Decent size bed

Negativ:: Breakfast... in a barn like restaurant- No personal space

Positiv:: Great selection for breakfast Lovely pool area Fine big rooms

Negativ:: Rooms really need to be updated including air conditioning Staff interaction with guest needs improving

Positiv:: Lovely hotel, pool excellent with plenty of sunbeds. Great loacation in lovely Tavira

Positiv:: Die Lage ist einfach super, das Frühstück in Auswahl und Qualität sehr gut, das Personal einfach nur zu empfehlen. Ich war schon zum zweiten Mal dort, ein drittes Mal wird wohl nächstes Jahr dazu kommen.

Negativ:: Der nicht akzeptable Umgang von gestressten, unglücklichen und gefrustete Gästen mit dem lieben Personal.

Positiv:: Excelent location, near to the centre

Negativ:: The breakfast had always a line to wait, very confusing and noisy

Positiv:: Location, spa, bedroom

Negativ:: Food range and choice could be better, seating in Alibabar area could be far more comfortable

Positiv:: Excellent location, really comfy bed.

Negativ:: Room was a bit dated and there were ants in the room and bathroom.

Positiv:: Just out of main part of town very clean and small grocery store and cafe near

Negativ:: Only 1 small pool open

Positiv:: Super Quartier. Schade das wir nur eine Nacht bleiben konnten.

Positiv:: schöne Poolanlage Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe großzügige Raumaufteilung Inventar Küche alles nötige vorhanden gratis Parkmöglichkeit

Negativ:: ca. 25 Minuten zu Fuß in den Ortskern Appartment Loge 2: Verkehrslärm

Positiv:: Clean, Comfortable, private and the guys at reception were highly professional and accommodating :-)

Negativ:: Nothing to dislike.

Positiv:: schöner Pool, sehr gepfelgte Gartenanlage, freundliches und sauberes Appartment, Supermarkt in direkter Nähe

Negativ:: je nach Lage der Appartments Verkehrsgeräusche der nahen Nationalstraße

Positiv:: Nice to have access to a swimming pool.

Negativ:: The bed was rock hard, impossibly uncomfortable. The living room furniture was also uncomfortable.

Positiv:: Nice locality, did not feel like a big holiday complex yet had a lovely holiday vibe. Grounds and surrounds well kept. Appartment nice and spacious, and outdoor terrace also. Very handy walking/short taxi distance to the town. Swimming pool area very clean, and well maintained.

Negativ:: It was a pity that the onsite restaurant was not open during our stay. Though the appartment and swimming pool area could not be cleaner, which is highly important, the interior is a little dated.

Positiv:: The pool was excellent. The apartment was also very well equipped. Views were fab

Negativ:: Taxi required to get the Tavira town.

Positiv:: Air conditioning. Nice location

Negativ:: The vents when people below us would cook fish the smell would be lingering in our room for hours

Positiv:: Well kept, close to both supermarket and shopping mall. 30 min walk to good restaurants in Tavira town centre. Nice pool area.

Negativ:: Very hard beds, without top mattesses. No decent food on the hotel area, the bar servs but not good.

Positiv:: Pool side apartment and lots of space. Proximity to reasonable supermarket and cafes. Nice and clean

Negativ:: Over zealous security guard at pool. Should use more discretion with "rules" Even a toddler was told no rings in the pool

Positiv:: The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. overall a very good standard. The bar was welcoming and the quality of food was extremely good.

Negativ:: Both pool areas were relaxing, unfortunately without mattresses for the sun loungers they were not comfortable for more than a couple of hours. It may be later in the season that the complex provides these. We have been to other resorts where you cam hire the mattresses for two euro a day.

Positiv:: Lage

Negativ:: Die Betten waren schrecklich!

Positiv:: Fantastic location on waterfront with lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby. View from small balcony was great. The restaurant is good and the building has lots of character. Beautiful views also from roof terrace. Breakfast was great, including warm pastel de nata! Staff very helpful.

Negativ:: Shower temperature was a little difficult to get correct. No kettle or coffee/tea facilities in the room.

Positiv:: Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Rooms very clean, maybe a little retro but added to charm. Plenty of wardrobe space and coat hangers. Bed comfortable, aircon good

Negativ:: Had rooms on first floor - would not fancy heavy suitcase up 3 floors.

Positiv:: The owners/managers were very helpful and friendly. They arranged for us to move to a room at the front of the hotel with a lovely view.

Negativ:: Our original room at the back was quite small and dark.

Positiv:: Nice style of residence, good location, good breakfast, bedroom ok. Given discount for their restaurant

Negativ:: Na

Positiv:: Tavira is a great place to visit

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Lage und Ausblick.

Negativ:: Nichts.

Positiv:: The view

Positiv:: Tolle Lage , Frühstück im Restaurant sehr gut .Sehr nettes Personal.

Negativ:: Das Hotelrestaurant liegt an der Promenade an der sich auch die Abfalltonnen der Restaurants befinden. Es kommt des öfteren zu sehr unangenehmen Gerüchen, ob beim Frühstück oder Lunch, sowie zum Abendessen.

Positiv:: Excellent location & friendly staff

Negativ:: My single room was quite small

Positiv:: The breakfast was extremely good quite a bit of choices

Negativ:: A little difficult to find need a bit clearer directions

Positiv:: Very comfortable bed and friendly helpful staff

Positiv:: freundliches Personal und zentrale Lage

Negativ:: veraltetes mobililar. wenigstens der duschkopf hätte ausgewechselt werden können, der war in schlechtem Zustand. hotel ist in den 80ern steckengeblieben.

Positiv:: We really liked the quiet location, friendly staff, and feeling of an authentic Portuguese experience. The Space in the appartment was great, bathroom and kitchen are basic but have everything needed.

Negativ:: Option of Air conditioning would have been great.

Positiv:: This place offers roomy apartments, a private parking and has been an excellent stop in our journey in Algarve.

Negativ:: wifi was a bit far away for connecting.

Positiv:: Sehr freundlicher Empfang Großes Appartement und sehr sauber Parkplatz

Positiv:: Very easy going, large and comfortable rooms, nice as basis to (long) walk to Fusete. Great value for money for active traveller.

Positiv:: Was very Nice, i would come again

Negativ:: There could be more stuff in The kitchen

Positiv:: The location is fantastic, about 4 minutes drive from the centre. The pool was great and refreshing, and the apartments are equiped with the basics to provide a comfortable stay and be able to cook a meal or just breakfast.

Negativ:: We were a couple, but we were given two single beds. Not outrageous, or anything, but it would have been nice to have a double or a queen size bed. Also, the bathroom shower head could use some upgrade and replacement, it was old, plugged with calcarium build-up and spread water everywhere, causing a small flood on the floor, each time. There was a mop and bucket to clean up, but a simple replacement could make it great! There is no WiFi connection reaching the apartments, possibly due to poor range. There is an important safety issue to mention, to avoid a possible disaster. The apartments are equiped with a hot water boiler, the water is boiling, and some of the taps are separate hot/cold, without a mixer. If you open the hot, first, you risk a serious and severe burn!!! Careful with unnatended children, or even yourself!!! This is a safety issue that can be easily avoided, as the boiler is too hot! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Positiv:: The place was really peace and quiet. The apartment was ok except the kitchen which was awfully furnished. The staff Annabelle and Fernanda were so helpful in everything,

Negativ:: The kitchen furniture was so bad that the drawers could only be opened with a big pull. The bedrooms clean and big.

Positiv:: The staff is very nice and friendly. Really happy with the service.

Positiv:: Miss air con and the WiFi very poor only get near reception The apartments basic equipment , only a small bathroom( for 4 persons )

Positiv:: It will help if wifi is available in the rooms rather than only reception area also if breakfast facilities are available would help make yhings more convenient

Positiv:: Scenic area, lovely pool and small village feel.

Negativ:: No air con

Positiv:: Die Ausstattung ist in die Jahre gekommen.

Negativ:: Die Ausstattung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Eine Nacht ist okay aber nicht gut für längere n Aufenthalt

Positiv:: Comunal areas

Negativ:: The room is a completely disaster super old furniture and matres. Smells humidity we had all lights broken, it was not clean and fresh. I would rather sleep in a camping ..beds super uncomfortable not air con ..super small TV ...

Positiv:: In die Jahre gekommenen. Für den Preis kann man mehr erwarten!

Positiv:: Train to beach

Negativ:: Long walk to pool or train to beach. Very stroller unfriendly. Too many stairs. Too many people for a small pool. Room was not ready until 2 hours after the normal check in time.

Positiv:: Space, very well cared gardens, location, the quietness, great for kids and teens, very good family atmosphere

Negativ:: Apartments clearly in need of refurbishment. Although there was plenty of room space it’s badly organized. Beds in the living room impossible for a good night sleep, very uncomfortable - with a fixed marble table between two beds leaving no room for movement.

Positiv:: Location to the beach n parking

Negativ:: Well I'm suspect to rate pedras del rei, once I spend most of my childhood holidays here! So I hold really good memories in here! My only concern it's about what went missing since then.. when I was young there was a playground, there was ping-pong tables, volleyball squads and a lot more green free places that now are built with more accommodations. If I understand the needing of more accommodations, I don't understand why a simple ping-pong table went left.. I don't understand how such a family friendly place remove a playground and install a arcade Arena near by the restaurant's... Another thing that still borders me it's the SUPER EXPENSIVE self-service laundry! 5€ with out detergent! I will always back to pedras del rei because it's still a very special place to me! But I think the organisation could take some ideas about my review for sure more ppl will appreciate!

Positiv:: The location

Negativ:: Our aparthotel was not nice. It was old, smelled, people around that were actually living there made a lot of noise. It didn’t match the pictures from booking. We were very dispointed

Positiv:: The beach and the landscaping are beutifull

Negativ:: The room I stayed was equipped with very old furniture. The balcony door could not be opened properly. The beds were too small, 90cm, at the wall and very uncomfortable. I payed 102€/ night for this room which is totally overpriced for the size and quality provided. The TV screen was much too small and the chanels provided very limited. NO WIFI in the room which is nowadays unacceptable.

Positiv:: The evening entertainment was great.there was plenty happening,reminded me of a kind of Butlins on the Algarve. Pool was lovely as were the gardens and surrounding areas.

Negativ:: The accommodation was quite tired and had seen better days but we spent one night only so was ok.

Positiv:: Beautiful landscape and beach

Positiv:: It was a quiet location and just a 5 minute walk from the promenade and restaurants, shops and bars. The apartment complex itself was small and nicely laid out around a pool area.

Negativ:: There was no wifi in apartments that did not face the pool.I would have preferred a locked entrance gate. The apartment did not have an iron or a hairdryer.

Positiv:: The beds were comfy.Plenty of clothes hangers in the wardrobe.Good to sit on the balcony upstairs.

Negativ:: The apartment did not have any natural light & downstairs in particular it was always dark & you felt closed in,we sat upstairs most of the time - even at night time.The apartment was cold - we could not get the air con to produce heat which was needed at night time so you could not sit in & be comfortable.The arrangement to pick up the keys at the other side of town is ridiculous :- a) the transfer company would only take us to the location & not divert to the office for us to pick the keys up. b) Someone should show you at the premises how to get in etc,too much is left to chance.We had several people asking us if we knew how they could get to their apartment while we were round the pool,its not an easy layout so you should have someone on site.

Positiv:: Location and the pool were good. But having been to Cabanas before I chose this complex for that reason.

Negativ:: A meet and greet would be good as we wanderied aimlessly in afternoon sun with baggage trying to find our apartment. Not what you need after travelling since the early hours. We also.had to guide others who.had the same issue. One key between 3 friends who all wanted to different things.and get up.at different times. Limited beach use, travelling and sleeping due to needing to stay around or keep plans or let people in. We asked for another key but were told the cleaner needed it. The cleaner did not come to our apartment all week. Poor form. Should be stipulated on bookimg that only one key is provided. We would habe booked elsewhere had we known Also WiFi is advertised...it didn't work

Positiv:: Lage prima; toller Pool; Tiefgarage und Zugang zur Wohnung perfekt; Sicherheit der Anlage

Negativ:: Sauberkeit und Ausstattung; Anlage ist hellhörig; Putzgeräte sehr abgenutzt und dreckig; Balkonmöbel beschädigt; Eingangstüre machte Geräusche beim Schliessen und Öffnen (nicht geschmiert);

Positiv:: Good location 5 min walk to waterfront with bars and restaurants.

Negativ:: You had to go in and out via the basement garage as the main door locks were all broken, a bit of a pain and the sofa bed was the worst bed I have ever slept in.

Positiv:: Size, location

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Spacious duplex apartment, very quiet and locality was great. Pool area very nice and clean.

Negativ:: Smelt a bit musty when we went in as if some one had used an old mop to wash the floors. Bathroom a bit musty too. No hair dryer and there's always a hair dryer!!! But overall good.

Negativ:: There was no kettle, no full length mirror , the pillows and mattress were not great.

Positiv:: Die ruhige Lage war Perfekt für uns

Positiv:: Location is great, and the grounds are really kept well. I would go back 100% just not with Cabanas Gardens. There is apartments above the duplexes which i think are managed by someone else.

Negativ:: Arriving at cabanas gardens was a bit of a nightmare. I told cabanas gardens we had a late flight when booking via email but they seemed to not know this. They told us that they would leave a key in a key safe at there office (we'd never been to Cabanas before...), finding the office at midnight wasnt the easiest nor was the 15 min walk with all our luggage to the apartment. They told us to meet them the next day at 9am to pay the balance and were half an hour late. At first they told us that when we were leaving we needed to bring the keys back to the office, but i said i was not doing that and i would leave them in the apartment. The beds were very uncomfortable. There was a few things with the apartment which may seem slightly nitpicking but for what we paid (approx. £980 for the week) I expected more. The cupboard door was broken in the kitchen. The banister on the stairs was loose. There was a hole in the wall in the bedroom. The light fitting in the living room was hanging off. There was a sun lounger mattress on top of the bush. When we told staff their response was they know. Leaving cabanas gardens, we asked if we could extend the check out time, they said no. I asked if there was somewhere to leave the bags and they said bring them to the office. I called and explained that we were getting picked up from cabanas garden and they said we could leave the bags in the flat but we need to be out as the cleaner would be arriving. When picking our bags up 2hours later, no cleaner had been.

Positiv:: Very friendly and helpful staff.

Negativ:: Lack of wifi in apartment. Only available at pool area.

Positiv:: Great location close to restaurants and the beach

Positiv:: friendly staff

Negativ:: the room was very small and depressing. no view from the window but walls. The bed was too short for us.

Positiv:: The granddaughter made a great restaurant suggestion. We had a great meal at Belmar, which is across the Bridge.

Positiv:: Mir hat die zentrale Lage gefallen und die Freundlichkeit des Personals.

Negativ:: Mein Zimmer hatte lediglich ein Fenster mit einem Blick auf eine in ca. 1 Meter Entfernung liegende Mauer.

Positiv:: It was nice and clean hotel. Very friendly staff.

Negativ:: there was no fridge

Positiv:: Staff people were the most smiling people we met in Portugal !! They also lended us 2 towels especially for the beach. it is a quiet hotel well located.

Negativ:: I recommend you to take the breakfast in the hotel, don't go to the bar located two houses far from it, the english breakfast is total ripoff !!!

Positiv:: The warmth of welcome and willingness to help when any requests were made was outstanding - particularly when seeking out emergency medical help.

Positiv:: good position in the centre, but you pay for it! Good and friendly service

Negativ:: room too small - not for families with more than one child in the same room. Noisy air conditioning and busy street at night, so we had some problems in sleeping

Positiv:: Das Hotel liegt zentral am Kanal. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Negativ:: Das Zimmer hätte für drei Personen größer sein können.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist sehr hübsch und zentral, wir hatten ein Zimmer zum Platz und auf den Fluss, was einen tollen Blick bedeutete. Das Personal, was zumeist nur Familie ist, ist sehr nett! Die Einrichtung ist charmant und geschmackvoll. Das Badezimmer ist, obwohl geteilt, sauber und angenehm.

Positiv:: The hotel is extremely well-situated for the centre of the lovely town of Tavira and is within walking distance of the ferry to the Isle where there is a fabulous beach. The staff were friendly and helpful

Negativ::

Positiv:: Great location.

Negativ::

Positiv:: Staff were very helpful and friendly. Good location and all amenities were well maintained.

Negativ::
