I just hope, whoever designed the bathrooms is sitting in jail. I just can't understand it. Impossible to get in or keep water from shooting all over floor. The room was small but, that is not a big issue

Moldy room triggered my wife's allergy
The room we were first assigned had a terrible smell of mold. My wife is allergic and it immediately triggered her allergy so she had a hard time breathing. The bathroom was dark with mold, and the room also looked very worn and in bad shape. After some discussion, we were offered another room, exactly the same size, but overlooking the pool, for a 20€ upgrade fee. This room did not have a mold issue, and the rest of the stay was ok. Service was friendly, but this is not what we expected...

Pretty average
They do not have iron available in the rooms or even in a laundry room as it's a "security issue". Staff were dismissive and unhelpful. You have to pay £10 deposit per pool towel. Breakfast ok. Coffee tasted like mud

Just back from a lovely 4 nights at this hotel! We would definitely recommend it! The selection of food at breakfast is great and the pianist is a lovely touch! The only thing missing was fresh fruit juice or smoothie. The juice machine isn't very nice. We stayed B&B and were so grateful for all of the lovely restaurants nearby the hotel for lunch and evening meals. The hotel is in a good location, close to several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Also not far to walk to the castle and see many of the beautiful churches! Lovely swimming pool with plenty of loungers and the food and drink we had at the pool bar was nice. The room was lovely and clean with a great shower. The pillows are not the most comfortable but we slept well. The construction site next to the hotel didn’t affect our stay but for those who like a nice view from their balcony, a pool view could be requested. There was some noise from the construction site but it wasn't too noisy and didn’t disturb our stay or our sleep. Overall we would recommend this hotel for a stay to explore the lovely Tavira!

Hotel rooms seem tired and worn. Could really use a freshening up. Limited amenities in the bathrooms. Rooms were dirty with many scuff marks on the walls. No coffee machine or coffee in the room. Only instant coffee and kettle. Mini fridge in the closet kept over heating so we had to keep the closet door open. Safety deposit batteries not checked so staff had to repair same in our first day. The staff at check in were rude and stand offish. The welcome drink was nice but we felt very rushed and unwelcome. We went to the roof bar one night and three times we asked for drink and snack menu from staff. No one ever did return to take our order. After 20 mins waiting we left as there was no service from any of the staff who were too busy on their phones. Hardly any other patrons on the roof bar but the staff couldn’t be bothered to serve us? Main plus for this tired hotel was the pool. Well maintained and good service at pool bar. For the money you spend here we expected much better service and quality and it sadly lacked all of it. Parking underground is limited and will cost 5euros per day but worth it if you can get one. Breakfast buffet was lovely but the coffee (espresso) etc is HORRID! Get better coffee please. Upon check out today not even a thank you or hoped you enjoyed your stay from the two men on the desk. Also a note, that as of Sept 2024 there is a major construction project happening right next door to this hotel & there is a lot is dust from same.Overall poor!

My Husband and I went for our birthday. We fell in love with Tavira. The resort, breakfast and over all service was phenomenal. The staff went above and beyond with cake and gifts when they found out it was a special occasion. Appreciate all the kindness shown.
