Its location is excellent for exploring both the natural park and Tavira's cultural sites, though I'd suggest confirming room amenities to meet expectations.”

Excellent Stay in Prime Location

The hotel had a convenient location. It was a short walk to the river for the ferry to the beaches. The outdoor pool provided many beds. Towels were available from the spa. The breakfast offered plenty of choice, and eggs were cooked quickly on request. I appreciated the great service and the peaceful atmosphere.
There was not a lot of storage space for clothes in the room. I missed an information pack too.

adequate stay, some issues noticed

short kettle leadpigeon problem
I found a few things less than satisfactory. the kettle's lead was too short. I had to put it on the floor to use it. (a minor inconvenience, but still.. ) pigeons were also a major issue. they were all over the balconies and used the pool as their personal watering hole, leaving quite a mess. the staff tried to clean, but it reminded me of a constant battle they couldn't win.
