Absolutely loved our stay – felt like a second home! Everything was spotless, cozy, and welcoming—truly no complaints. From the moment we arrived, it just felt right. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, which was the perfect way to kick off the holiday after a flight. We’d asked for a couple of extra duvets since we're used to sleeping under separate ones—didn’t end up needing them, but the staff handled the request quickly and without fuss. Special shoutout to Filipe—what a legend! From the first moment, he showed us around and instantly felt more like a friend than a hotel staff member. He went above and beyond, even making us personalized lists of restaurants and places to check out. We didn’t make it to all of them, so we’re already saving some spots for next time. Hope to see him again on our next visit! The room had everything: bathrobes, slippers, ironing board with iron, coffee machine, teapot, hairdryer—you name it. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, and honestly, that made it feel like a 5-star experience. Nothing beats coming back to a spotless room after a long day out exploring. And the cherry on top - the hotel has the coziest rooftop ever—perfect for sipping wine, reading a book, or just soaking in the sun. Loads of comfy seating and sunbeds.

    We booked this last minute to stay with our two dogs and we were pleasantly surprised! We had a studio apartment (77) and it was lovely! Recently refurbished, very clean, everything you need. Tea and coffee facilities provided in the room. We visited in November and it was very quiet and peaceful. Not many occupied apartments around us. Cabañas de Tavira is very small so it’s easy to walk everywhere from the apartment. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dogs were welcomed and for no extra cost. Gardens were beautiful and well kept. We would definitely stay again!

I didn't realize the spa center was part of the price, two jacuzzi, one sauna and a steam room (the stream room ceiling tiles were partially hanging off that was quite worrying,but fab besides this) staff he was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating, breakfast was plentiful and pretty good, I asked if they had bananas as they put oranges out and he got me one, just can't fault it, the pool is open 24 hours but not heated BUT HUGE , lovely stay

    Great place plenty of things to do around the area ,5 golf courses for those who wish to play. Sailing trips are plentiful with many water sports near bye, crazy golf and a great water park. Great beach where you can rent umbrellas and sun lounges with option of half or full day at 25 euros a day for an umbrella with 2 loungers 15 euros half a day. Also plenty of of beach bars, personally favourite was Marisa as a little quieter. Best restaurants in my opinion Steaks and grilles Haven, Chinese Tai Tai, Indian Ghandi, Italian Capriccio, The small train is great for getting around and very cheap. Favourite sailing trip are was on the condor sailing ship outside the Tivoli Hotel

    Tavira is a lovely town with access to several beaches. There are plenty of great restaurants, bars and ice cream parlours. Shopping is great with plenty of variety from independent shops. There are loads of surrounding towns and villages which are worth a visit, if you don’t have a car there are two good train stations within walking distance.

    The beaches are amazing. The promenade and surrounding area was very clean. Plenty of bars and restaurants - a bit quiet in the evenings but that was fine for us as we were hoping for a quiet break. Vilamoura within walking distance so had one evening out there when we fancied something a bit more lively. Plenty of supermarkets nearby and we discovered that the little train stops at Lidl every Wednesday. Loved the Quarteira swing at the end of the promenade with the fabulous view of the sea. Bus station within walking distance and quite easy to utilise. Managed a day trip to Albufeira where we were also able to board a catamaran for a trip to the Benagil caves

    We really enjoyed the fish. It would be helpful to hire a car as we found it difficult to find our way around the old town with it's maze of roads. As we didin't have a car we took a train to Tavira and the fares for seniors are half price despite being tourists. The Uber service is absolutely brilliant and was a life saver.

    OK perfect beaches amazing but that's it, the town is really just bars, restaurants and little shops. The area is lovely to walk around but there no historical points of interest. Also this really is an area for people over 60 or people going to relax at the beach or pool. There's literally no young people here lol, it's wall to wall pensioners. I googled why and its because it's a very flat area whereas most of Portugal is hilly. So no clubs or wild parties here. But it is a lovely area

    Loulé is a lovely traditional city, plenty to do & see.

    Loulé is a lovely traditional city, plenty to do & see. Lots of bars & restaurants at very cheap prices. Market day is Saturday when the city becomes extremely busy. There is the traditional indoor market which is open most days. Has fish, fruit & veg stalls and some other nicknack stalls. Has an area in the middle for food & drinks and lots of smaller shops around the side. Main street market is the fruit & veg market and then the gypsy market is a little further out. Castle worth a visit just over €3 for 2 people. Loulé easy transfer from the airport €15 euro in uber. Easily accessible to beach, Quarteira, Vilamoura both around €8 in an uber, we walked one way around 7.5 miles.

    Altura is a quiet little town on the eastern edge of the Algarve, very close to the Spanish border. The beach runs for miles in both directions and affords stunning walks especially at low tide. For most of the year, this area is peaceful and certainly not overrun with tourism as is the case with many places further west. The boardwalks across the sand dunes are wonderful, and lit by tiny low-level lighting at night. If you like beauty, simplicity and calm, then Altura is a safe bet!
