Overall I had a really good stay. In particular, the staff at the front desk were amazing, friendly & helpful - Joao, Mario & Luis - the pool was lovely, my room was small but had all I needed. They forgot to replace my water the first weekend and we had to switch out my mini fridge, but any minor issues were always quickly resolved.
The only downside of this hotel is the location. It is on the outskirts of Tavira on one of the main roads which was very noisy. I wanted to sit out on my terrace but the road noise was too much most of the time, and walking into town was a bit scary!
Since I was on my own I did not have a car but I used the taxi service recommended by the hotel. Nelson and his wife Sofia were wonderful and ferried me to various places in and around Tavira whilst I was there.
There is a restaurant behind the hotel but to be honest, it wasn’t that great. I wished there had been a bar I could have sat at with a glass of wine in the evening, instead I bought a bottle and took it to my room!
The breakfast bar at the hotel though was extremely good with tons of options. When I left, because my check out was so early, they even put a food package together for me the night before, which was lovely. Overall, a really good experience!
