Wonderful relaxing & quiet hotel
9 / 10
Oct 2008, rsthomas11

My brother & I stayed for a week here at the beginning of September and we had a great and relaxing time. There were people of all ages (many Spanish/Portuguese) including children but all were well behaved and certainly didn't disturb us. We did have a minor ant problem but we had read some reviews before we went so took some ant spray with us which was enough to keep them away. The rooms were cleaned daily which also helped. The rooms were quite spacious with lots of wardrobe space/drawers. The bathroom was large with bath/shower over, sink, WC & bidet. Towels were also provided although it was asked not to use these by the pool. We were lucky enough to get a sea view (although I think there were better views from some other rooms) and all the rooms had a small private terrace area with table/chairs. The pool itself was large and clean with plenty of sunbeds for all the guests. Breakfast was included in our holiday and there was a vast choice (full English/continental/cereals/yoghurt/fruit/toast) We didn't eat in the restaurant for our evening meal as it seemed a little expensive and not really to our taste so preferred to eat at the pool side bar (before it closed at 5pm) or snacks from the main bar after 5pm. There was a boat to the main beach and a minibus to the main town (at set times) but we hired a car at the airport and found this easier as the hotel is a way from the town and could have been expensive in taxi fares. We explored the local area extensively including driving into Spain and the hotel was perfectly located for this. Overall we would definitely recommend this hotel particularly to couples for a relaxing break.

Fantastic, no hassle holiday. The resort was very quiet (although to be fair, it was off season).
The whole trip worked very smoothly. Hotel in particular was fantastic, especially the breakfast. Was a bit disappointed at the cost for the indoor swimming pool (outdoor was just a bit too cold).
Actually, the hotel was one of only two SAGA hotels in Portugal, which made it interesting for a couple of twenty something’s like us. They got a free bar, courtesy of saga.
Overall, great holiday.

Having been a little unsure as to the location, once we found the hotel we were absolutely delighted with our choice.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the rooms were spacious and well kept. The pool area was well set out and very clean, and a private boat takes you to a small island beach. This was a very relaxing holiday ideal for couples who want to get away from it all.
Tavira itself is not commercialised as yet so a car is advisable, and the whole of the Algarve is within 90 minutes drive. There is a bus available from the hotel to the town centre. Overall this was a lovely holiday in a beautiful hotel.
