"Very easy walk and open train to the beach on Ilha de Tavira. Room was nice and lots of villas to choose from when booking. We drove into the old town of Tavira which was very charming. The pool closes ontime and the area is very quiet in the evenings."

WOT Algarve Soul
"Scrambled eggs at breakfast were cold unfortunately, they should be kept warm.. otherwise breakfast was adequate for a small inexpensive hotel. The one thing that ruined the look of our room were the internal doors, otherwise it was fine. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Hotel was adequate ..."
