Hotels near Praia da Ilha de Tavira in Tavira

The pool area is the highlight of this hotel. There were plenty of sunbeds for the guests. There is a pool bar which opens if there is a full day of good weather. You must go to the bar, there is no poolside service. The gym and spa area were also good. I enjoyed a lovely massage. The hotel rooms are very compact but functional. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Shower was good and there was always hot water. The air con was great. The fridge works well if you leave the cabinet door open. There is tea and coffee (but not restocked) but no milk. You must put sign on the door if you want the cleaners to do your room. There is no iron in the room and none available on request. You have to pay for an ironing service. The sink drained very slowly in the bathroom. The hallway carpets had some questionable staining - I really cannot understand how they haven’t replaced sections of it. We had a room overlooking the carpark which is not the best view but does get nice evening sunshine on the balcony. The WiFi was good. The breakfast was only ok. I would have expected better. There was nice fresh fruit and fresh croissants each morning but the yogurt, orange juice and coffee were terrible quality. I wouldn’t touch the hot food. If you come down near the end of service, forget about it, staff seem to have given up, I even had to set my own table one morning as none of the tables had been cleared. The piano player at breakfast was very good. They give out flowers to the lady guests some days. These things are nice touches but I imagine guests would rather better food instead. We had lunch in the hotel twice. Pizza was ok. Tried the calamari another day but it could have been deep fried anything to be honest and fries tasted like they’d been sitting around. Rooftop bar is nice with lovely views and they make good cocktails. Bar staff were nice. We only in the rooftop restaurant once and it was disappointing.

Hotel with excellent facilities. The perfect place to enjoy the good weather in the Algarve. Close to a fantastic beach. The package I chose was bed and breakfast. The only weak point was the quality of the products for breakfast. The juices are of very low quality, mini pastries almost non-existent and very bad waffles. The same is repeated at dinner. We decided to have dinner at the hotel and the buffet is very poor and without quality. I don't know if it's related to the all inclusive packages that most guests have, but I think it's a point to improve for customer satisfaction. We love it anyway, but without a doubt that if I return, I will eat outside the hotel.

The hotel was nicely decorated and designed. The pool area was very clean and a nice environment. The rooms were also clean, with comfortable beds and a good shower. Unfortunately when we arrived one of the rooms had an unpleasant smell. When we mentioned this at reception they said housekeeping would look into it, but nothing was mentioned further. We then found that the room door was faulty, and was not locking properly. When we returned from meals in the evening, we found the door ajar, despite being shut when we left. We mentioned this at reception, and again they said they'd look into it, but nothing was done, despite mentioning that we had valuables in the room. The obvious course of action would have been to fix it immediately, or move us to a different room, but neither was offered, which feels like quite a major issue. The offering at breakfast was good, and there were a few members of staff that were especially helpful and friendly in the Orangea restaurant. The food here was ok, but would recommend ordering simpler dishes. On the whole, our stay was enjoyable, but issues were not dealt with as they should have been, which would make us rethink returning.

An amazing 1 week stay at the Quinta do Marco. This beautiful villa style hotel is located in the midst of an orange/lemon grove (amazing scent at this time of the year) surrounded by lush, mature fruit trees and garden. Our room was large, light, clean and airy with a balcony with an amazing view of the surrounding areas. Breakfast choices was adequate, freshly baked bread, fruits, eggs cooked to our preference were available, thanks Manuela! Staff were very nice and hospitable, shoutout to Sofia, Thiago, Pedro who all provided us with great service. There's a heated pool and spa although we didn't use these. Sufficient parking spaces available on site. As an additional bonus, there's a small holding of donkeys, chickens, geese, sheep and peacocks within the hotel grounds

What an unbelievable place Monte Rei is! From the minute we arrived the staff were absolutely fantastic, showed us to the wonderful Clubhouse Residences. The view in the morning from the balcony was pretty special. Arrived to play golf the next morning and was instantly impressed with the level of service we received. Went to the range to hit balls before our round and the range was setup fantastically - the small touches, from the pyramid of balls, to each bay having its own alignment stick, really made it feel like you were being taken very good care of. The course itself was a fantastic experience. A true test for all abilities, with various different Tee positions to suit your ability. Each hole framed beautifully by the natural surroundings, gives you the impression you are alone out on the course. There are plenty of bunkers to be found, but when you inevitably do end up in one, the soft white sand was a pleasure to play out of. Once on the green you will find fantastic putting surfaces, which roll as pure as they look. A nice touch at the end of the round, as they present you with a Monte Rei bag tag, which will give you something to remember this fantastic place by. All in all, a great experience, staff were fantastic and the course was spectacular. Can’t wait for my next visit!

The week before Christmas was the perfect time to enjoy this lovely hotel. It's well designed and well equipped. The rooms are a good size. The roof terrace a sun trap ideal for sun bathing and reading in December. The food was delicious. The staff were really helpful and friendly and all just five minutes walk to the enormous and largely empty beach. Monte Gordo is a bit busy for my taste in the summer but for a sunny winters break this was heavenly.

Lovely hotel if a bit old fashioned in places. Was able to check in early which was a bonus. Ladies on reception lovely. Room On the 3rd foor overlooking salt plain with afternoon sun. Only 1 lift worked for most of week but didn't cause us any issues. Room nice although the small fridge was in wardrobe cutting down hanging space. Could have done with more drawer space. Water in fridge taking up room but charged if used. Free bottle of water on table on arrival was a nice touch. Room cleaned every day and towels changed if u left them on the floor. Breakfast was good especially the omelette cooked to order. Found that lots of tables were used but seemed to take ages to get cleared away. A couple of the staff just seemed to walk about just picking up the odd thing and not cleared full table. A few times the food was empty but just had to wait for them to get replenish. Lots of sunbeds available might have been due to the high number of golf parties staying at the time. Pool towels available from the spa. Overrun with pigeons although they were putting wires up over the pool while we were there. Pool icy cold only a few brave people went in. Spa pool slightly warmer. Jacuzzi but not very good was expecting bubbles not just a couple of jets. Had to wear shower caps which were 4e each. Bar service long wait to be served needed more staff the two people serving were run off there feet. Tavira was lovely with good choice of restaurants both sides of river. Loved Nikatas just in a little side street but needed to book in advance. Visited the nearby indoor local market lots of fresh fish and veg. Went on the land train which was well worth it if very bumpy over the cobbles. Used the ferry to the beach for a couple of hours. Stunning beach which went on for miles. Fab weather. Would we return... Probably if wanting to visit Tavira again

If you're looking for a great place to chill Herdade da Corte is where you need to go. A Rio Grande style and feel about it, surrounded by fabulous hilly views, orange, lemon trees, olive groves, and pure adulterated silence. You hear the whisper of the breeze throughout the outdoor areas which have casual seating dotted about, a sweeping view, and a to die for salt-water pool. If you want 5 star service and a butler this isn't the place for you! Our favourite time of the day was a leisurely hour and half munching our way through the buffet breakfast, consisting of 4 different freshly made juices, a good selection of local produce, bread, rolls, pastries and cake, cheese, cold meats, fruits, yoghurt, and natural cereals - while idly looking out to the hills. There's also an array of teas, and the coffee is via a machine which is good - but goat's milk! We've travelled the world extensively and it's rare to find such a place. If you want to jazz up your time there Tavira is charming, along with Tavira Island. You do need a car if you stay at Herdade and want to visit many areas, however, we had read other reviews and knew that - but we just wanted to relax there and do nothing! We stayed 4 days and did venture out 1 afternoon to a restaurant in St Luzia. Local taxi, very nice driver. 20 euro each way (same prices to Tavira) about 15 minutes journey. The owners Joao and Francisco are cool, interesting guys, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the area , local produce, wines, and activities to do there - hiking, etc. Good massage also available in relaxing room. €50 Personally speaking, we dossed (an English word for lazing about) around the pool , helping ourselves to the well-stocked honesty bar, with the occasional beer/glass of wine, absorbed in a few good crime novels. Please note: after breakfast there is NO food available until 7pm. We knew that and brought along our own snacks, nuts etc. The evening menu is mainly cold, very good local produce - oh, please try the prawns (they hot). We tried almost everything on the menu during our stay - couldn't fault anything. My husband arrived completely knackered (another old-school word for tiredness) and after almost 4 days rooted to the place said he felt like the Six Million Dollar Man! Thank you Herdades, we will be back. Hayley & Alan UK
