We had a wonderful three-day stay at this modern hotel next to the city-center. The room was very nice, with a spacious, well-designed bathroom and beach towels were also provided! A real highlight was the rooftop terrace with sun loungers and tables available to all guests – the perfect spot to enjoy the bottle of white wine that was waiting for us in the room as a welcome gift! The reception was very warm and welcoming - thank you for that! We also had the pleasure of briefly meeting the owner of the hotel, which was a lovely and enriching experience. Such a kind and inspiring person! We’d be happy to come back! Obrigada e até à próxima!

The best place we stayed in the Algarve, it exceeded our expectations by far. One of the calmest and most easy going hotel experiences we have ever had. Even though fully booked, there was so much space and calmness to find in the building. Fantastic location to walk to all main attractions of Tavira. The pool area was an oasis in the middle of the town. Fantastic breakfast, with fresh regional products and specialties. Very good and friendly service from the staff and the most amazing setting to eat inside the courtyard of the old monastery.

The kid entertainment was great. Very versatile, friendly and funny. The manager is amazing, she takes care of everything, contributes where she can. Wellness offers are perfect. My daughter even received a certificate and gift for her first massage. Very thoughtful and cute! Food addresses all needs. As a vegan I was very satisfied with what I could have for breakfast.

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods.

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods. Some parts look really rundown and others not so much. Given this city is in the Algarve region, a lot of visitors must come through, and this has given the city a bit of an edge (this observation is based only on a couple of days in Faro, during the "shoulder" travel season in Portugal).

We stayed for 6 nights which was a night or two more than required. Tavira is an interesting town and we enjoyed a Fado performance in one of the beautiful churches. It has a wide choice of good eateries and trips are available to local attractions like the island. However, we were glad we took the option of taking the train to Faro for one day and to the crossingbto Spain on a small ferry on another day. Tavira is close to Spain.The ferry port in Portugal is an attractive town as is its couterpart onthe Spanish side.

Vilamoura is a beautiful resort.

Vilamoura is a beautiful resort. Great selection of bars and restaurants both at the Marina and set back from the Marina. Beaches are beautiful - lovely promenade at Quarteira. Plenty of Ubers available at a great price. Highly recommend The Golden Marina for a Chinese and il Trio for Italian and Rui's for steak. O'Neills Irish Pub is also great for a drink at a decent price and entertainment every night.

Olhao is a welcoming laid back town this time a year. Its very well kept with interesting Cubist architecture. There are many great restaurants and coffee places in all price ranges.

The salinas are beautiful with lovely diverse flora and fauna.

We love Quarteira, 20/25mins from Faro airport, beautiful beach clean & well maintained with ample beds with fixed rattan umbrellas for hire, long promenade lined on other side with lots of choices of restaurants /bars. Bus station is great with lots of local buses to wherever you would like to visit. You can walk to Villamoura Marina within 20/30mins walk but be prepared to pay double the prices for food & drink as Quarteira is very reasonably priced. Great friendly atmosphere & we have never experienced any rowdiness at all on our visits

Loule is an historic town, with many interesting areas. It's away from the coastal tourist resorts, so has a more local, authentic character. It's worth trying local restaurants, particularly for fish - suggest Angolano or O Pescador.

The central square and church is where most things are happening, there are plenty of benches to sit on and watch the evening unfold and plenty of very nice shops to browse in the evening. The town is bigger than you think and has 5 biggish supermarkets. The marina is the best place to see the sun go down but the white sand beach is lovely.

Cabanas is generally low-key and low-rise.

Cabanas is generally low-key and low-rise. It's got lots of restaurants, some very good, and the waterfront boardwalk which extends the length of the main urban area is lined with restaurants, bars and some modest shops. Don't go for latenight carousing or nightclubs, but the area is very attractive in a gentle way. It's become much busier than it used to be, and there is still quite a lot of holiday accommodation under construction. There's a large but unobtrusive campsite tucked away a kilometer or so from the waterfront, seems to do good overwintering trade with northern EU sunbirds. Difficult to give specific recommendations for restaurants etc as tastes and chefs vary. I'd say it's best for older couples, those wanting to explore the many delights of the Eastern Algarve and the south-west tip of Spain (which is 20 minutes away over the suspension bridge at Castro Marim), families with younger children (probably not teenagers!)
