Moldy room triggered my wife's allergy
The room we were first assigned had a terrible smell of mold. My wife is allergic and it immediately triggered her allergy so she had a hard time breathing. The bathroom was dark with mold, and the room also looked very worn and in bad shape. After some discussion, we were offered another room, exactly the same size, but overlooking the pool, for a 20€ upgrade fee. This room did not have a mold issue, and the rest of the stay was ok. Service was friendly, but this is not what we expected...

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!

Contemporary but could still be improved
The hotel was modern and contemporary looking, the staff at the reception desk are welcoming and friendly, the rooms were good and the beds were very comfortable for a standard room. One downfall of the room was a lack of iron, something to note for others incase of clothes getting creased. Upon reading the reviews a lot of people mentioned the breakfast buffet being amazing, however, it seemed pretty average to me, it lacked variety of sweet and savoury type of foods and was pretty much the same everyday apart from the fruits changing. Also cross contamination between utensils is something to note, example: The cheeses use the same tongs as the cold meats, the tongs used for the vegetables near the eggs uses the same tongs to pick up bacon or sausages, something to note for any vegetarian / vegan customers. Moving onto the gym, the gym was sub-par, machines felt rusty, resistance felt weird and the free weights only went upto 17.5kg. Definitely in serious need of a revamp The spa itself was nice to use apart from the steam room in maintenance for most of our stay. Another negative is the car park situation, there is free limited spaces parking at the hotel along with free street parking, but what became really annoying was external customers attending the hotel restaurant or bar taking up all of the on site parking leaving us staying customers fighting to find parking on the street. Overall I'd give it a 4/5 star

Love this place
Brilliant location. It is up a hill, but no problem for us. Tavira is a quiet village, away from all the the hustle bustle. Beach is a nice, short, boat ride away. You get the boat from across the river. Breakfast was lovely, pianist every morning. There is coach station across the river but we had a car. Parked on the street at the front for free. Nice restaurants and local shops all around, more across the river. Had lovely food everywhere. Good supermarket, 10 to 15 mins walk. Nice, inside, shopping mall about 20 mins walk. I went a few times as there was sales on, bought some nice clothes and shoes. It is our 2nd stay. We will be back.
