Tavira: hotel con bar

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

Il mio primo viaggio da soli/la mia data di nascita mi ha reso qui. L'hotel era perfetto e il personale era bello e utile! Offriscono suggerimenti sui luoghi di visita e le cose da fare. Ho anche una bottiglia di prosecco e torta sorpresa consegnata alla mia stanza il mattino di compleanno! Molto tranquillo e tranquillo, con così tanti posti vicino (10 min a piedi o meno) ma se non ti senti come esplorare, l'area di piscina, il spa e il tetto bar potrebbe essere più che sufficiente. Anche il colazione è stata deliziosa con una vasta gamma di opzioni. 10/10 da me!

Questo luogo stupendo mi è rimasto nel cuore. Molto pulito, raffinato e di buon gusto. Tutto al posto giusto. Il personale molto disponibile. Molto comodo anche se si vuole raggiungere l'oceano in pochi minuti in macchina. La prima sera abbiamo anche cenato sulla terrazza coperta, molto carina e particolare. La colazione? In una magnifica terrazza in cima alla struttura, dove si possono gustare cibi e specialità del posto e non. Sicuramente ci ritorneremo se saremo da quelle parti.

Rimai in questo hotel per il secondo anno in fila dopo il matrimonio di mio cugino l'anno scorso. Mi piace assolutamente questo hotel. Il cibo è sorprendente come i servizi forniti dall'hotel. Ha una vibrazione molto rilassante e tranquilla. Speciale grida ai barista: Keegan e Pedro! Sono davvero occupati della mia famiglia e io. Ci hanno fatto sentire molto benvenuti e ben guardati. Sono persone molto speciali e interessanti con cui mi sono davvero divertito. Sono felice di averli incontrati, e fanno anche cocktail fantastici. Un altro grido speciale al Team Animation, essi erano senza stanchezza nei loro sforzi per coinvolgere gli ospiti nelle attività divertenti quotidiane intorno alla piscina e fornire un divertimento sorprendente nelle sere. Sono tutti incredibili divertitori e molto buoni a guardare gli ospiti e a coinvolgere le persone. Ci hanno aiutato a creare un sacco di buone memorie durante il nostro soggiorno qui. Il contatto personale di questo hotel è certamente lì. Tavira Island è a pochi passi da barca. Puoi anche ottenere un taxi dal fiume dalla piazza dell'hotel fino a Tavira Town. Adoro la vibrazione di questo posto e penso che questo sarà un hotel della mia famiglia e vorrei visitare regolarmente in futuro per le nostre vacanze familiari. Certo che mi piacerà tornare qui l'anno prossimo per rilassarmi e divertirmi. Grazie Vila Galé Albacora, ci vediamo l'anno prossimo!

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

After a day or so staying here, you pickup a theme that this place just needs a big chunk of inves**ent. The villas are rather run down and not matching the decor on the TUI site. Lots of little bodge repairs with exposed mains, lights fittings hanging on by 1 of the 4 screws, missing cupboard doors etc. some of the pictures are also of an unrelated restaurant business down by the beach. The beds themselves are terribly soft and uncomfortable and the “sofa” is just a single bed with two pillows. Unlike other guests, we were lucky enough to get aircon but only on one floor. Would have been unbearably hot for anyone without this! While the cooker was obviously a recent replacement, the kitchen utensils aren’t complete. No bowls, no coffee jug, no kettle, no tumblers or wine glasses, corkscrew not the right size to extract a cork etc. the list goes on. If you’re looking to have breakfast or an evening meal in the villa, you’ll struggle. The pool itself is a lovely temperature but very cloudy and remained so all week. Looks like the filter isn’t up to the job at hand and needs upgrading. While there’s a lovely area for lounging round the pool, there’s a chronic shortage of seats and parasols. You really need to be at the pool before 9:30 to reserve a parasol or you won’t get one all day. There’s easily enough space to triple the number of loungers and parasols and each day you see a steady stream of disappointed faces looking for shade. Some other reviewers have mentioned paying for loungers. This is no longer the case but you need someone to be poolside when they setup and unlock the loungers. The Nora eating area serves basic food but be prepared for a really long wait for service. The staff don’t seem to scan the room so you’re best off walking up to the bar to order and pay. Overall, I think we were lucky with the room and looking at other reviews and pics, I can understand guests frustration and it could have been worse. As a family, we enjoyed the week and learned how to work around the issues but it’s not somewhere I’d recommend and won’t be coming back. We’ve been to similarly priced accommodation in the Algarve on previous years so it’s definitely possible to get better value for your money
