Fab relaxed hotel

We loved our stay at this hotel. The hotel was stylish, relaxed and a few minutes walk into beautiful Tavira. The communal areas, rooftop bar, pool and breakfast were particularly good, drinks and bar food prices were very reasonable. The rooms were maybe not quite so stylish but very comfortable with good size balconies. Staff were v helpful and attentive. We would stay again.

This is a great hotel. It’s a short walk into the main square in Tavira and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar is beautiful and I loved the piano player at the breakfast buffet.

Check in was easy and we were offered a glass of wine. Our room was ready 30 minutes early. The pool and Gym were Lovely and the location was very close to Old Town.

Marlene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second stay at Maria Nova. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and hard working. Rooms are adequate and cleaned most days. Breakfast is very good considering it’s included in stay. Although hotel is beginning to look a little tired around edges. I think it is very well priced and should meet most people’s expectations.

Fantastic hotel - great location would definitely recommend.

hotel reasonably nice/well located- easy walking distance of town but the promised room with a nice view was infact a view overlooking an active building site we discovered when we woke the night after arriving late...

8/10 Very good

This was a beautiful hotel that is fairly new. My husband and I stayed 3 nights and the service was good. The only complaint would be the beds. We found the beds to be sagging in the middle already and the quality of the pillows were not good at all. The rest of the hotel was fabulous.

4/10 Fair

Maybe wait a bit before booking this hotel...

2 things were good. The parking facilities and the rooftop terrace. The room was not very clean and needed some renovations. At check in the counter person served us a welcome drink while we were carrying our luggage! But the best is when we found out that our room was directly in front of a construction site!

terrible beds and pillows
Haydee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Nice, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Close to main town area and also a train stop which is helpful when you are traveling around the Algarve. Fantastic breakfast. Overall, very good valued.
JAMES, 1-night trip

Great stay!

I cannot fault this hotel. For the price we paid, it was a bargain! Great hotel, friendly staff and a tasty breakfast. The room was spacious and up to date - and clean. The hotel is a quick walk from the centre of Tavira.
Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Kenneth S, 2-night trip

Lovely view and good service. The shower leaked making the bathroom floor wet. Otherwise a good stay with no big negatives

My Husband and I went for our birthday. We fell in love with Tavira. The resort, breakfast and over all service was phenomenal. The staff went above and beyond with cake and gifts when they found out it was a special occasion. Appreciate all the kindness shown.
Iman, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’ve been to Tavira 5 times now and this has been the best trip, the hotel was great, food was great and most of all the staff were amazing. As soon as we walked into the hotel we were greeted with a glass of wine, not a bad start. The pool and spa are lovely and well kept and the roof top bar has to be in my opinion the best view in the area. I would highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely return on my next visits.
Adam, 12-night trip

Overall a good hotel

The hotel was in a great location for walking into town. The staff were excellent. Our room provided all we required and was cleaned regularly and bedding and towels changed during our 8 night stay. However the fridge did not keep particularly cold and it would be helpful to have a freezer section for ice. The pool was a very good size but the sunbeds were dated. Overall we felt the hotel could do with updating. Although the breakfast provided many different options our feeling was that some could be better quality. The orange juice was watery (it did not help that nearly half the dispenser was ice so as that melted it became weaker!). We had seen several reviews before our stay mentioning this (especially when there are oranges growing locally!) and staff commented they’d look into this yet obviously nothing has been done. The bread and coffee were also poor. It does not appear you can book a room without breakfast which we would prefer in view of these aspects. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

8/10 Very good

We had a very pleasant stay here. The hotel was clean, tidy and well maintained, the service at reception was good, the food and service at the restaurant was excellent, we were HB, never had a bad meal. The service at the pool bar and restaurant was very good. Our room was big, comfortable, however we arrived at 9.30pm and the additional quilt we had requested and agreed by the hotel for a guest with very bad arthritis was not provided (in house management issue), this issue eventually sorted and bed made by guests. We used the terrace bar one evening but had to wait 30 minutes for 1 beer and 1 soft drink while cocktails took priority, we did not use that bar again (I note it was an issue previously raised - management should monitor and provide assistance and not merely make platitudes in reply to reviews). Local area, there is a landscaping protect being undertaken at the back of the hotel, at times it was both noisy and dusty by the poolside, however it was noted the project site were constantly damping the area throughout the day. All in all we had a nice stay at this hotel just a shame about the arrival and the bar. The external issue is clearly outside of the hotels control. Tavira, a lovely ancient town, is undergoing much renovation work " very slowly!" There are many restaurants and bars within a 10 minute walk of the hotel but there is no noisy night life. Although I have mentioned a couple of negative areas we had a lovely stay and would happily return.
Nicholas, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Upon arrival, I was warmly and promptly greeted. When I went to my room, there was a moldy odor. I went back to the front desk to express my concern, and they moved me to another room. Other than that, the day was pleasant and I appreciated the complementary bottle of wine. The property is quiet with a beautiful view of the town. The buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful with a lovely touch of a pianist playing throughout the meal. The rooftop bar was a pleasure with delicious food and drink. I especially appreciated the warm welcome by Jonathan.
Karen, 2-night trip

Ben linens and quality of beds were disappointing and uncomfortable…. Some hairs on bedside upon arrival…
BENEDICT, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a good standard and an easy walk to the town and amenities. The breakfast choice and quality of the food was excellent and staff service is friendly and efficient. The pool area was also excellent with plenty of loungers available. The pool bar needs more staff to make it run more efficiently so don't go there if you want a quick bite of lunch. The gym is well equipped but there is too much equipment and needs to be rearranged to make more space for floor work. The roof top bar is also very good and a good place for a night cap. All in a very good hotel.
