An absolutely incredible hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went over & above to make my stay the most comfortable, and definitely memorable experience, again. That's what brings me back each time. The genuine warmth of every team member makes you feel like your a part of the AP family. The bond between them all is very obvious...signs of excellent management. They know how to make you feel truly special, and appreciated as a guest. Add to that, all the amenities you could want, and just a short walk to the historic downtown. You'll enjoy incredible views of Tavira, all the way to the ocean, and the rooftop lounge is the perfect place for a romantic dinner, complete with stunning Tavira sunsets. I highly recommend this wonderful hotel, it's always the best and most unforgetable experience.

Great hotel with very friendly staff. Short walk to town and restaurants. Indoor pool 32 degrees. Towel and locker key 15 euro deposit, which you pay at start of holiday and get deposit back when finished, on days when we couldn't get towels dry just go to reception and they will give you a fresh one . Breakfasts are fantastic with a good choice of cooked sausage, eggs,porridge, beans,omelette,bacon, breads, cakes, fruit,Yoghurt, cold meats,cheese,self service. Bedding and towels changed regularly. Good views across Tavira from the poolside balcony.

Wonderful hotel and staff. They try really hard to make it a nice stay, from the welcoming glass of wine to the delicious, generous breakfast and piano player at breakfast, flowers on Sundays for the ladies, this place is great and a great value. Great beds, duvets, balconies, USB ports on each side of bed, great shower, large towels, nice staff, great Turkish bath and sauna. Great value, close to everything.
