The staff were amazing! Super friendly and attentive throughout the resort, the entertainment staff are fantastic - Noah still misses his "amigos". The rooms are clean and comfortable. Dining at the hotel was a delightful experience with diverse and delicious options. I’m confident your stay will exceed expectations and provide memorable moments.

The location is very nice, we were situated right next to the walking path which leads to the beautiful beaches along Tavira. It is not 'walkable' into Tavira, but if you have a car and are looking for a little community away from all the tourists, this is the place for you. The place is a little funky, it felt like a summer camp. There really isn't a couch in the living room, but two additional beds, which was odd. The kitchen had the dishes you need, but you need to have all your own spices, oils, etc. The room didn't have wifi, but we were able to rent a router for 1 euro, which worked really well. We had a nice little yard, which was great for the dog. We ordered pizza and salad from the bar, which was excellent!

We are scoping out retirement options so were looking for walkability and reliable public transportation. Tavira offers both! Local market is full of fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables along with wares such as baskets and cut flowers. Lots of restaurants and shops. Walking distance to train which we took to the eastern border then hopped a ferry to Spain for lunch. We opted out of the hotel breakfast and found a cafe across the river for coffee and avocado toast one day, another day we went to the Pingo Doce grocery store for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. We tried a different restaurant for dinner every night and every meal was fantastic. If we had to do it over again, we would not have rented a car. The metro, train and bus system is reliable and comfortable as well as much cheaper and less stressful.

Tavira is a city with very interesting architecture. It's crossed by a river that gives it a certain romantic flavour. It has some very interesting beaches nearby, with sand as far as the eye can see and good water quality.

Loved the Friendliness in this nice quaint old town, unfortunately the roads / streets were in process of being dug up & left rather unsafe ( we witnessed a lady falling).. lots of cobbled streets which were left unfinished. Hopefully they will complete soon for travellers & residents to enjoy this lovely town.

Tavira is full of character and has an obvious love of its history and heritage. It offers the opportunity to have a beach holiday without it being forced upon you. Wander down all the back streets and find new places.
We mostly self-catered but there are many restaurants with differing cuisines. Take a punt - it will probably pay off. If you like octopus take a trip to Santa Luzia just 3km away. It is a charming fishing port and the octopus catching centre of Portugal

We've become familiar with Tavira after several visits over recent years. It is a lovely understated destination as a living, breathing 365 days a year town. Not at all touristy, though popular and busy, it's a great base for a sunshine and beach holiday as well as easy access to Spain and onwards. A wide spread of bars and restaurants gives plenty of choice for evening entertainment, and all within short walking distance.

Tavira is a little gem of a town.
Tavira is a little gem of a town. There are tons of things to see and explore. People are friendly, the food scene is beyond incredible and the city is completely walkable. If you're looking for a small, quite, charming town then Tavira is the place.
A Muralha is the perfect location to explore beautiful and pristine Tavira, my favorite town on the Algarve. It is right in the center, close to the river and you can explore the town easily on foot. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful and explaining you where to go and there are bikes available for when you want to go to the nearby beaches, not far from the hotel. The breakfast is superfluous, and the rooms are simple of design but comfortable. All you need and want in beautiful Tavira.
The location is close to A22 and a short car drive to the city center. Vinci and his colleagues were among the best we’ve encountered within Portugal. They were always eager to meet every guest’s need with a cordial smile and “Can Do” willingness. We appreciated the large variety of breakfast items and the co-location with the O’Tacho restaurant for lunch and dinner. Hotel Don Rodrigues and it’s many amenities provided a most relaxing 4-day holiday for us.
we stayed a whole week in the one bedroom apartment, lovely place, spacious apartment with a nice outside open air space to sit or put washing out etc. staff were great, even lending us beach towels which was handy as were traveling with just cabin baggage. any request was no trouble at all, id definitely stay here again , the location was fabulous, and found it good value compared to other properties or hotels in the area
Recommended by Rough Guide to Portugal- absolutely right. Delightful place right by the ferry boat to Ilha da Tavira. Nice room. Good breakfasts. The Mares could not be better located, you are right in the heart of everything. A great five day stay with trips to Faro, Vila Real de SA and Fuseta. Helpful bus link to Seville. Many different ways to make a stay enjoyable. For eating go to the Restaurante Simco.
This is a real gem in the Algarve! We definitely enjoyed it and would come back in the future! From concept to execution, everything is just top notch! Nicely decorated, little touches everywhere (water with various herbs provided, tea and fresh fruits, not to mention the outstanding breakfast), great staff service. Sure, this is not your average 4* hotel because it's actually much better than a hotel.
We have been travelling around Portugal staying in lots of different places and I can say this was the best by far.
Centrally located, quiet enough though, all the facilities etc etc.
The main thing is the effort put in made it a perfect stay.
There is just enough character to the property that its charming and still functional, a difficult balance usually.
This small hotel is lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the breakfast room has a beautiful view over Tavira. The staff were extrememly accommodating and friendly. Two rooms have balconies and two rooms have terraces. If these are important features for you, I would call the hotel directly to ensure you have the type of room you want.
The location is at the heart of the city with easy access to the beach ferry and the wonderful beach. My wife and I attended Mass at a church very close to the hotel. It’s a great family destination and the ferry ride is nice with many variety of shore birds. Many young families at night enjoying the music and dancing.
The overall location was great. 20 min walk to Santa Luzia and the same to Barril Beach. The bus service to Tavira left right outside the hotel. The pool area was huge and the grounds were lovely. The only downside was the main restaurant was closed due to Covid, and the sunloungers on Barril Beach were not out.
Beds very comfy and breakfast really good ..didn’t get to the pool but had look ..really very well kept .and indoor pool excellent. Staff lovely ..overall a good 2 days stay as we were traveling around Portugal staying at diffrent places
We loved the décor of this hotel, so funky! It was new and very clean. Great location in old town, close to great restaurants and shopping. Very walkable to everything. Parking very convenient. A nice boutique hotel!
Excellent breakfast selection and staff very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Hotel within a short walking distance of local restaurants and amenities. Tavira is a good base from which to explore the Eastern Algarve.
Great location for visiting Távira. Close to restaurants. The hotel has a restaurant. Very clean. The hotel has character, old fashion and yet all modern amenities. Excellent breakfast. The staff is very welcoming.
located right on the main square, close to the Roman bridge and parking. Spacious, clean, friendly owner and staff. Best coffee in Portugal in the coffee shop next door.
This was the best accommodation I stayed in while in Portugal it was immaculate with a great outdoor space and fantastic location it was very well looked after.
