Excellent service, great location and nice rooms.
The rooms are all positioned within a long corridor which looks a little like an airport, but once you get in they are spacious, well appointed and clean. Showers are fab, there is a coffee machine and fridge (we had deluxe rooms).
Breakfast is great - everything you’d expect and more. Hot & cold options, with waffles etc. The only gripe is that there’s only one coffee machine which is slow and created a queue.
It’s a short walk into Tavira, and the rooms have balconies which is nice.
The spa is nice, with a sauna and steam room. The pool is tiny however. You need to buy a swimming cap to enter (€5) and pay a €10 deposit for towels.

We stayed 5 nights when the weather wasn’t great. We found the staff were all so friendly and welcoming - the housekeepers looked to change the rooms when you put the sign out and the restaurant staff were all attentive. Outdoor pool and bar would be great in nicer weather and the indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym were all great and included in the price. Breakfast was first class and dinner in the roof top restaurant was also very good - we’d suggest some home made desserts to make it exceptional.
Definitely recommend especially as Tavira town is just 5/10 mins walk.

I recently visited the cocktail bar at the Maria Nova Lounge Hotel in Tavira, and it was a fantastic experience! The bar itself is chic and comfortable, with a stylish ambiance that perfectly complements the hotel's modern vibe. But what truly stood out was the bartender. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about his craft, he made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
Not only did he help us choose the perfect drinks based on our tastes, but he also shared insights about the cocktails, the ingredients, and a few local favorites, adding a personal touch that elevated the whole experience. Having someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic behind the bar truly made a difference—his warmth and expertise turned our evening into a memorable one.
If you’re in Tavira, I highly recommend stopping by the Maria Nova Lounge Hotel's cocktail bar on the 4th floor. With service like this, the experience easily deserves a 5-star rating!

The hotel has a nice design and is well located. The rooms are small and the housekeeping wasn’t good. The room wasn’t properly cleaned.
The rooftop restaurant / bar is really nice and the crew is very, very attentive.

We have stayed at this hotel many times, and can say that each time it has been pleasant. Unfortunately on this occassion (22 Feb - 27th Feb 2025)my wife took very ill on last day of holiday. As our flight wasn't until 8pm the following day, I enquired about paying extra for a late check out so at least she could be comfortable and have some privacy. Given the time of year which is low season I thought this, request could be accommodated. Unfortunately this was not the case and little empathy was shown towards my wife's situation. Although our stay was good, this has left a sour taste, and we would think twice about staying again.
