Everything! Our stay was absolutely fantastic. Management, staff, room, pool, breakfast….everything was perfect. Best hotel we have ever stayed at on our decades of travel.

This is a surprisingly large hotel - you'll get your steps in for the day just walking to your room and back! The underground car park is free and also massive. We parked near the entrance and then discovered it was a long walk to reception. And it was a long walk from here to the dining room. But the room (view over the pool) was large and had all the necessary facilities. It was only a short walk from the hotel into the centre of Tavira.
Located in front of Gilão River within Ria Formosa Natural Park, Marés offers free WiFi and a relaxing sauna. Many of Tavira’s historical sites are a 5-minute walk away.

Tavira is definitely one of the most picturesque and unspoilt towns in the Algarve. So far, it has escaped the mass building of apartments that now plague other places. But, unless you have a car, I'd recommend staying in the centre! Local transport is not very convenient, though trains to other towns are good. There's lots going on, though perhaps more geared towards adults than youngsters! Plenty of restaurants and cafés and the Clube de Tavira is a good spot for some local jazz on a Thursday. Bear in mind it's not directly on the coast - you need to take ferries to the islands nearby, but that's fun if the weather's good. Not so much if it's wet and windy 🙄. Bike rental is another good option. Another plus is being so near Spain - a trip to Seville is only a couple of hours away! My tip - if you're not with a car, don't stay on the outskirts, unless you just want to be by the pool all day! It's a long and boring walk into town! Do visit the little olive producer just out of town. At time of my visit, nearly the whole town was undergoing roadworks which meant half the streets were closed to traffic and all the cobbles and paving were up, making for dusty and uneven surfaces. Just beware!

Nice town in a very concise area.
Nice town in a very concise area. Catching boat from the downtown dock is better value for the trip to visit the beautiful "Ilha de Tavira Beach" (Tavira Island Beach), worth spending time there. Don't drive into the city, either walk or catch a Uber. Too much traffic and the endless road construction works mess everything out. Look it up on Google before you head that way as there are many more activities you can enjoy.

We stayed for one week but really could have stayed longer, but a week was enough for us to feel relaxed,enjoy the beach and the surrounding areas. Tavira is a pretty historic town with lots of amenities , great restaurants, bars and cafes with tourists but not tacky! and lots of day trips available. It’s a great walking and cycling area And the beach is truly magnificent. .

Tavira will typically draw those, who seek the architecture, history - it's idyllic and peacefull setting; and the beach second. Tavira has a trainstation,, so you are free to come and go without the hassle of traffic and foreign signs. This town will not attract the crowds who seek the plastic pleasures of Albufeira.

Tavira is 'beautiful' despite the fact that i have noticed it has become a destination place for day trippers and as such i would assume the local economy has reacted to that... Still it would be very selfish to keep such a jewel hidden away wouldn't it... Plenty of nice places to eat and drink on both sides of the river, my favourites are located opposite one another CAFE MIRA for day time and PAUSA restaurant in the evening, both in the same square... My favourite watching the world go by is most definitely 'snack bar ALAGOA' in a little square on the Porta Nova side of the river not that far from the best located 'Irish' pub opposite the bus station... you will struggle to miss either they are usually pretty busy... well worth at least one visit!... A must not miss opportunity also awaits at the strangely named without much kerb appeal at all 'Cantinho do Emigrante' the owner 'I assume he is anyway' doesn't smile a lot, but what he does on his open fired barbecue thingy with chicken, complete with chips and salad is AMAZINGLY delicious!!!
The hotel was very nice. Breakfast was very good. The lovely piano playing every morning is an added bonus. The roof top bar and restaurant with fabulous views over Tavira. The entertainment there every night. The roof top bar had the best food we had the whole time we were there . Great location so near the restaurant's bar's and the livelier part of Tavira.
This is a compact and well-equipped place benefiting from some private outside space.
The hosts were attentive and friendly.
The location was convenient and local parking was free.
Tavira is a pleasant base from which to explore the lovey Eastern Algarve
We felt we were in authentic Portugal not just some tourist development based in Portugal.
Fabulous boutique hotel in central Tavira with restaurants, bars, ferry to beach etc all a few minutes away. Lovely traditional breakfast and staff extremely kind and helpful. Nothing was too much to ask - restaurant bookings, airport shuttle, timetables, etc. Would highly recommend as a very traditional, unique and endearing hotel.
Away from the main drag but very close to everything (especially an excellent restaurant round the corner). The ferry to the island beaches is near. No need to have a car if all you want to do is go to the beach.
Very nice staff. This is a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel but it a good place to stay in the centre of Tavira.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Azul Sul in October and absolutely loved it. Jose is an amazing host and guide, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. It was out first stop on a week-long road trip in Portugal and I can't imagine a better way to start our trip. We will definitely be back if we get to visit Tavira again.
Loved this property, wonderful friendly helpful staff who sorted a great afternoon boat trip followed by meal on island . At the hotel, delicious surprise evening meals and best hotel breakfast ever tasted . Rooms beautifully appointed and decorated and live singing on roof top terrace meant perfect end to wonderful days .
The staff, especially Paulo, were great. The room was small, as expected, but had charm, especially the tiling in the bathroom. The location is perfect. The roof terrace was amazing with 360 degree views. Breakfast was good, beyond the norm in Portugal, with eggs, bacon, and freshly cooked pancakes if desired.
The location for this hotel is amazing, right next to Ria Formosa. You can get a ferry near the hotel and cross to the beach. The view is also amazing.
The hotel was built on what used to be a fishing village, and some of the buildings have been restored, and there's a museum. A charming experience.
The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The hotel decor was fresh and the room was a good size and spotlessly clean. Bed was big and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty with a good selection. Not far from Tavira and nearby beaches by car. I was there for work and enjoyed my short stay.
It was very central to Tavira. Lovely clean hotel. Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Complimentary drink for all the family on arrival. Lovely swimming pool. Breakfast was plentiful and very varied and it was lovely to sit up on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful views
Very cozy and clean place. The location is very nice, extremely quiet and, at the same time, near the city center and main attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful in providing guidance to visit the city. I definitely recommend for a get away in Portugal.
The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The restaurant gave us 2 of the most incredible dinners we had in all Portugal. The room was huge and super comfy right in front of the pool! We did some hikes walking distance from the hotel!
Fantastic hotel. Lovely staff. Great rooftop bar. Lovely breakfast. Just a short stroll into Tavira old town. Great parking.
I could not fault this hotel, and we will return
the bones are beautiful but they have not decorated or added luxury to elevate it beyond an old hotel. breakfast was nice. staff very helpful. good location.
