This was our second stay at Maria Nova. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and hard working. Rooms are adequate and cleaned most days. Breakfast is very good considering it’s included in stay. Although hotel is beginning to look a little tired around edges. I think it is very well priced and should meet most people’s expectations.

Overall a good hotel

The hotel was in a great location for walking into town. The staff were excellent. Our room provided all we required and was cleaned regularly and bedding and towels changed during our 8 night stay. However the fridge did not keep particularly cold and it would be helpful to have a freezer section for ice. The pool was a very good size but the sunbeds were dated. Overall we felt the hotel could do with updating. Although the breakfast provided many different options our feeling was that some could be better quality. The orange juice was watery (it did not help that nearly half the dispenser was ice so as that melted it became weaker!). We had seen several reviews before our stay mentioning this (especially when there are oranges growing locally!) and staff commented they’d look into this yet obviously nothing has been done. The bread and coffee were also poor. It does not appear you can book a room without breakfast which we would prefer in view of these aspects. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

We spent one night in Tavira and this hotel was perfect. We were greeted by amazing staff and a complimentary glass of wine. The hotel was a quick walk away from the things we wanted to see in town. The pool area was lovely and the room was perfect for our stay. Breakfast was incredible with a pianist and so much selection at the buffet. The bar/restaurant on the roof had the most amazing views and I would recommend for a sunset drink. Unfortunately the dinner was not great. Overall I think this hotel was amazing

Maybe wait a bit before booking this hotel...

2 things were good. The parking facilities and the rooftop terrace. The room was not very clean and needed some renovations. At check in the counter person served us a welcome drink while we were carrying our luggage! But the best is when we found out that our room was directly in front of a construction site!

Nice property, clean rooms and lovely pool area and roof top bar. The buffet restaurant breakfast was good but dinner wasn’t. Full of noisy groups with buffet style food which was average. Below par for a 4* hotel. Staff in restaurant were rushed off their feet which meant slow service particularly around drinks.

This hotel is in a great location - there are some fantastic restaurants 5 minutes away. There is a building site next door which makes sitting by the outdoor pool not as enjoyable but I only stayed two nights and it didn’t bother me. The staff are really lovely and helpful.
