A-mazing ! A room with ‘a view’ of the river , perfect. This hotel has a perfect riverside position. The staff are very welcoming and helpful , nothing too difficult. This residencial has huge charm and retains lots of the original features. Lovely outside area to appreciate your brekky , which is an excellent very varied buffet breakfast, yum! This is a beautiful and very well run family charecteurful Residencial. Some bedrooms have balconies or Juliette balconieswith super views across the river Short walk to all the local amenities and of course the pretty local cafe for a coffee and pastel de nata. Very pretty original tiled bathrooms and also very clean as the rest of the room. Can’t wait to get back.

Excellent location, stayed for weekend in Sept when lots of concerts and activities happening. For that reason parking was at a premium,we parked in a free lot 10 min walk away but was very safe. Boat to Tavira island literally across the street, worth a trip. Restaurants across the bridge within walking distance.The front desk personnel very friendly,let us store our luggage till room was ready. Stairs to rooms only. Our room was very small, once luggage opened ( not large suitcases) was cramped. We did forego housekeeping as there was no room to move around. We did see large chain hotel but decided we were glad we stayed in Residencial Marés just for the location and Portuguese vibe.

Okay but overpriced

The building, as most are in Tavira, is beautiful and the approach to all the rooms is stunning with the architecture. The room itself had original features, which is a positive, but even with this there are the basics of maintenance and this is where the tale goes downhill. The bathroom is the obvious one where, though the tiles are original, there has been no effort to cover where items have been taken down. Rawl plugs are still in place and plainly visible, the tap cover caps were missing. The door, though again an original feature needed some tlc. In the bedroom the bedside units had missing trim and the a/c was noisy to say the least. On the plus side the bed was huge and comfy and check in/out was easy. If this room had been 60-80€ I would have accepted but at 128€ it was unacceptable. I would have raised this issue if i'd have been asked at check out but wasnt so on here it goes.

Romantic stay in Alvor (not long enough)

This is a great location on the riverfront. The ferry to get to Tavira Island (beach) is literally right outside and easy walk to restaurants. Located at the quieter end of the downtown core.
