"Great property, convenient for everything. Lovely restaurant next door frequented by locals. Poland grounds perfect. Plenty choice at breakfast."

"Clean and comfortable hotel and room. Breakfast coffee wasn’t very nice! Rooftop pool was great."

"Beautiful hotel, lovely spacious room with comfortable extra king size bed. Amazing outdoor pool. The breakfast and dinner buffets were very good. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you."

"The common areas of property were well maintained, staff appeared to be very diligent. The rooms appear clean, definitely wear and tear, cracked sink bowl, door closing was off, trim over sink in bathroom could use a scrub in the detailed woodwork. I called multiple times because our room door did not lock, could be pushed open from outside, would lock when we were inside. The maintenance guys did arrive and worked to get it fixed. We did notice though that the door then wouldn't lock with deadbolt. I also ordered kettle service and had to ask 3 times, I think they may have come when we were outside so they left. Property was lovely"

"Modern hotel within walking distance from the town centre . You are greeted on arrival by a glass of wine, which is a nice touch. The rooms are spacious, clean, and with a decent size wardrobe, plus a fridge and a desk. Pool view rooms have a balcony, which also get the sun. Breakfast is very good, with a good selection of hot and cold food There is a gentleman playing the piano each morning. There is also sparkling wine available. The only downside is that it's quite noisy, especially if the hotel is busy, with no soft furnishings to absorb the sound. The two pools are nice but the water was cold on our visit (May). There is a pool bar for drinks, and more than enough sun loungers. A downside is that the bar plays music all day which I think is too loud, and not to everyone's taste. My idea of a relaxing time by the pool is not necessarily listening to someone else's choice of music. I think this is something that that hotel should look to. You don't really need music at all by the pool in my opinion. There is a rooftop bar which has indoor and outdoor seating, and has live music some nights, and a DJ at other times, starting from 20:30. The Spa is a waste of time, the pool is only 3m by 10m, the steam room was out of order, and the sauna was under repair. I was in and out in 5 minutes! There is a €10 deposit for pool towels. Note that from 7th May the hotel have introduced a no cash policy for all bar and restaurant payments. "

"Lovely spot. The only thing that was disappointing was the coffee on the breakfast buffet. The buffet was very decent, but the coffee is terrible. It tastes like instant coffee."

"A lovely hotel on the river front, within walking distance of shops, bars & restaurants. The staff went above & beyond to help us. We had a balcony room overlooking the street, it was super quiet. The breakfast was good. The Mares bistro downstairs is good & guests get 15% discount on food. We will return."

"Lovely hotel with great amenities. Staff super friendly. Have stayed here a few times and it’s our go to hotel in this area"

"Overall, the hotel offers a distinctive and peaceful resort experience with real character—far more than a standard stay. Set within a converted tuna-fishing village, it blends history, space, and a relaxed Algarve atmosphere beautifully. The setting is a real highlight. Built from a restored fishing settlement, the hotel feels like a small village rather than a typical block-style resort. It’s quiet, spacious, and surrounded by the stunning Ria Formosa, making it perfect if you’re looking to switch off and unwind. There’s easy access to the local beach, and the boat transfer directly from the hotel to Tavira Island (for a small fee) is a real standout feature. Facilities are solid, with pools, a spa, bars, and a good restaurant serving local Algarve dishes. The on-site museum and preserved buildings add an extra layer of interest and authenticity. Staff are excellent throughout, and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast offers a wide selection, although it can feel a little repetitive over longer stays. The only real trade-off is the location. It’s not in Tavira town centre, which is great for peace and quiet, but you’ll need to rely on taxis, Uber, or a short drive to get into town."
