Good, but …

Great place. Nice Breakfast and pool, steam bath and sauna. The only issue was a fairly strong sewerage smell coming from the bathroom, which meant we had to run the fan all night and keep the patio door open, which made it a bit noisy. It seems that the staff is aware of the issue, because they mentioned that sometimes it happens when the tide is low, which seemed a bit odd. Otherwise it was a nice place and would have given a very strong review but for this issue.

This was a great accommodation in a large hotel complex that was walking distance to the center. We had a suite with a king bed and large sitting area. Parking was easy onsite with spots in front of the hotel and in a parking garage. The buffet breakfast was very good. We visited in winter and it was very rainy and windy but there were several people there to golf. The rooftop bar was very nice with views of the city. Recommend it.

Fantastic location in the beautiful town of Tavira! This is a very busy hotel with a lively atmosphere and a bustling dining room. The property sees a lot of use, and common areas can feel crowded at peak times. Parking is limited, with a €5 fee for the secure garage. The room was clean but quite noisy. Since it wasn’t a city or river-facing room, it overlooked the neighborhood. While the walls were thick, noise still carried easily, making it possible to hear conversations and movement from nearby rooms and hallways. Tavira itself is a charming destination with its historic architecture, picturesque streets, and stunning coastline, making it worth the visit despite the hotel’s drawbacks.

We loved our 3 night stay in AP Maria Nova Lounge. We had a pool view room which had all the amenities and space you could need and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The choice and quality of food at breakfast were excellent and the gentleman playing the piano was a lovely addition. Whilst we didn't have an evening meal at the hotel because there was so much choice in town, which was a stone's throw away, we did go up to the bar on occassion which had wonderful views across Tavira and was reasonably priced. Finally the swimming pools and spa facilities were the icing on the cake! Yes there are some building works going on in the area but thay didn't stop our enjoyment and we would definitely go back.

Staying in the deluxe room with the jacuzzi on the patio was a must. It’s a short walk to town although the restaurant food quality was a bit disappointing and restaurants were empty due to the season. We didn’t dine at hotel. However we capped off each night with a drink in the hotel’s fabulous rooftop bar. The hotel was almost empty so it was surprising we had to wait for our room( we arrived early) but they kept saying not ready when when we finally came back at the specified check in time there was a lineup and then we had to wait even longer. However the gentleman at check in was helpful when we were trying to get a package delivered.
