There's a welcome drink at check in, which is a nice touch. Decent size room with a good size south facing balcony (worth the extra cost). Spacious and clean bathroom. Pool clean but totally very warm in October, despite the sunny weather. Plenty of sun loungers available. Pool access is through the gym though which is rather strange, or via reception on the floor above. The indoor pool is very small, short and narrow, ok to lounge about in, but you can't really swim. There is a sauna and steam room too, but these are also quite small. One annoying feature is that pool towels are only available at reception for a €10 deposit, annoying if you arrive at the spa and then have to go back up to reception on the floor above to get a towel. I don't know why this couldn't be done in the spa itself. Good choice at breakfast, especially the hot food selection, but the pastries are a poor, and not very well displayed, just thrown onto a plate. The dining room is also quite noisy being a hard floor, with chairs being moved etc. Piano player during breakfast is a nice touch, as is the sparkling wine. The roof bar is a great place in the evening, often with live music, food and snacks available too. During our stay one of the lifts was out of service for 5 days, meaning there was always a long wait. All in all, a good hotel with great facilities and also only 5 minutes walk to the town centre.

Grundsätzlich ein sehr schönes Hotel. Das Frühstück war super mit einer tollen Auswahl. Auch das Zimmer war sauber. Allerdings sind es Kleinigkeiten, die es dann doch abwerten. Die Gardinen hang nicht in allen Ösen fest, die Elektrik kam aus der Wand, das Holz an den Türen war abgesplittert. Dingen die schnell zu beheben sind und nicht direkt auffallen.

Loved the rooftop bar but that was about all. The corridors were very dark and the rooms had no drawers for clothes, just hanging space. The worst thing was the building work opposite the breakfast and pool area, this created noise and dust and I feel we should have been advised of this before travel - we actually came home 2 days early as we had booked for my birthday and it was really disappointing.

A lovely hotel in the most beautiful résort. Rooms were nice and clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Pool area spotlessly clean and plenty of Sun loungers.

Adults only. Room was nice and had everything we needed. Rooftop bar permitted children whiich is odd for a adults only hotel, explanation was rooftop bar is opened to public. Could have more staff in bar and in the restaurant at breakfast, some days tables not cleared. There is construction work right opposite rear of hotel where pool area is situated, which resulted in some very loud noise and dust. We were not made aware of this. We will ho back but when the construction work has finished. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

This was a lovely hotel in a great central location for visiting Tavira. Although we did not take advantage of many facilities, the pool was excellent. Much larger and deeper than most city hotels and great for swimming. Breakfast was very good and we enjoyed the piano player every morning playing a great variety of easy listening music.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The hotel was clean, tidy and well maintained, the service at reception was good, the food and service at the restaurant was excellent, we were HB, never had a bad meal. The service at the pool bar and restaurant was very good. Our room was big, comfortable, however we arrived at 9.30pm and the additional quilt we had requested and agreed by the hotel for a guest with very bad arthritis was not provided (in house management issue), this issue eventually sorted and bed made by guests. We used the terrace bar one evening but had to wait 30 minutes for 1 beer and 1 soft drink while cocktails took priority, we did not use that bar again (I note it was an issue previously raised - management should monitor and provide assistance and not merely make platitudes in reply to reviews). Local area, there is a landscaping protect being undertaken at the back of the hotel, at times it was both noisy and dusty by the poolside, however it was noted the project site were constantly damping the area throughout the day. All in all we had a nice stay at this hotel just a shame about the arrival and the bar. The external issue is clearly outside of the hotels control. Tavira, a lovely ancient town, is undergoing much renovation work " very slowly!" There are many restaurants and bars within a 10 minute walk of the hotel but there is no noisy night life. Although I have mentioned a couple of negative areas we had a lovely stay and would happily return.
