Ideally located hotel see day trips to undertake. We had a room on the poolside. From the road traffic have We received nothing. The building and the rooms are well maintained and Clean. On breakfast buffet we always something delicious found. In the evening a food in buffet form offered. Also here was The selection enough (sometimes the fish and the meat Freshly grilled ). Because of the central location worth it - not only once - The old town to explore. There is again at any time something new to see. read more

As night stop with breakfast possibility used, we came for four nights clear. Sleep in slightly musty standard room to the street with ear plugs possible. Quiet are safe the rooms the well-kept outdoor pool. The bed a closet with a fairly soft mattress, their feathers/mesh was to feel. Teppichbrücken and decor are a bit outdated. Tubes -tv with German channels (private ). Easter holidays very many families, mostly English. Children were the ubiquitous entertainment team well looked after, disturbed never. A pleasant together. Apropos disturbing: a very hectic staff attempted for breakfast places classified. He ran and beckoned constantly ... walking through the room. According to mood his colleague were inside. The daily same dishes were quite English. Small, somewhat poor selection sausage and cheese. With fresh fruit, muesli and occasionally fresh bread was enough for the start of the day to find. No freshly squeezed juices. Unfortunately swam in the good clorinated indoor swimming pool Bundle of hair, the floor of the pools was not more fully tiled and already pointed out some rough holes. This should not be. For the jacuzzi it must have no fear. Despite fresh painted walls, the whole seemed somehow receive. Besides still a small steam. Massages were available. Highlight is the place: here you can evenings - instead of half board - wonderful restaurants find, in which good and inexpensive can be eaten. The hotel wines were always good and due to the courts. read more

Centrally located Hotel. Downside around thoroughfares in the rooms to the street side have a disadvantage. Inside rooms face the pool. For short trips as well. Less suitable location for beach holiday, always with the ferry to the beach must be driven by the lagoon. The place was comfortable and Nice. cosy evenings in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed the three days. We can recommend. read more

The hotel is very centrally located and an easy walk to the very nice place Tavira. There are many small bars, restaurants and shops. Very nice atmosphere. Wonderful natural landscape. To the beach one drives with the ferry, which constantly comes for a small price. Great White, long sandy beach. Many small restaurants. If you don't as touristy like, a bit of a walk along the beach. There were hardly any people and no more restaurants. There are many possibilities of Tavira from the Algarve to meet. To the Spanish border is about 30 minutes read more

It is a very large, well furnished and clean hotel, and easy to get, on the edge of the downtown area, close to the river to the beaches, from the outside in a style typical for the country. Over three floors in a rectangle are the rooms. In the courtyard of the large pool area with bar/cafe. We booked with breakfast, a buffett is to book (€20 ) to our time approximately 80-90 % English speaking guests, mainly over 60 years old. For events, business, certainly also a great hotel. read more

    We had a room facing the river, in the view not so nice. Everything was very clean, inside you had to rent the safe, €15 , the bathroom was fine. The balcony was very small, the minibar full, no chance to cool our own drinks. For a longer stay the closets were too small, instead a lot of drawers. The TV can you international channels (Austria) see. The facilities are good, functional.

    The breakfast is served in a large interior, unfortunately no outdoor area, at the fine weather appropriate. To reserve a seat and depends on the other, partly lines. It is clean, the buffet well executed or overseen, no wishes remain open - no problems to see. The bar also large and spacious, we missed the flair, was more rooms with a corporate furnished as the breakfast room.

    Most are friendly, speak English with one exception. Both at the reception, pool area, breakfast, bar, everything well arranged, generous and friendly. There is a large spa area which we didn't use, which did not always on. A small shop with souvenirs, magazines, cigarettes are also available, not so friendly.

    There is a large pool area, enough pool chairs at the pool or on the lawn. You look out in all rooms as the interior. You have to walk a long way to the toilets, showers on the edge of. To the beach, offshore islands of Tavira, also two options, there are several pay transports. You will be treated to the shuttle bus picks you up, brought to a ferry station, 2-4 events on day, or every hour boat for 1.90 € (there and back), about 200 meters from the hotel, on the island. Lots of eating and drinking options, a lot of space, a dream beach. Traveling to watch and flamingos are storks. On the beach a lot of peace, clean, stone free on walking, many shells to collect.

    Good to reach by car, 40 km away from Faro Airport, approximately 200 meters toward the river and the boats to the beach, from there also now restaurants along the river and shopping. In about a 5-10 minute walk to the city center. On the back of the large and very nice market (interior) with fish, meat, vegetables, etc.

    The hotel is close to the river gilao and about a 5-10 minute walk to city center. River to arching bridge there are shops and restaurants and immediately after the arching bridge in the small streets are several restaurants. Tavira is about 30 km away from Faro airport.
