Romantic stay in Alvor (not long enough)

This is a great location on the riverfront. The ferry to get to Tavira Island (beach) is literally right outside and easy walk to restaurants. Located at the quieter end of the downtown core.
Front of property. Great restaurant downstairs. Hotel guests receive a discount on meals there
Front of hotel on promenade (ferry launch on right…20 steps away).

Beautiful quiet town of Tavira in Portugal, located next to the river front, plenty of restaurants to choose from and a fantastic fire work display to welcome in the new year.

Lovely friendly hotel. Very good breakfast. Room a bit small but adequate. Loved the hot shower and big towels. Perfect position for catching ferry to Tavira Island . Tavira is great for bird lovers. Was able to view flamingos from the balcony and roof terrace - awesome ! Would recommend 👌

A Very Pleasant Surprise!

I stayed at the Mares pending the Final Deed (referred to in the US a real estate closing). The river view is enchanting and the location is unbeatable in this uber walkable city. And although I stayed there during the low season season, breakfast was included in the rate.

2/10 Poor

Excellent support from the Reception staff that went above and beyond by helping carry one of my heavy suitcases up the stairs - which I appreciated. - Thank You. 🙏 It is older buildings, so no elevators, with multiple landings to get to the room. The room was extremely small and the window faced the back of another building, the bathroom and shower was the smallest I have ever come across. The shower door kept coming off its roller on the track, and the water alternated from scalding hot to cold. Parking is not available on site, and one could only park 3 blocks away, which is a problem with transporting multiple heavy rollaway luggage across cobbled stone streets.
Gerald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is well located in the centre of the downtown area facing the canal. My room was comfortable; however, it was pretty small—the same thing as the bathroom. If you plan to stay here, bring your shampoo and conditioner, as none is provided. The hotel does not have elevators, so be ready to go upstairs with your luggage, or you may ask for assistance. I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for the convenience of location and a price range.

Convenient place, needs new pillows

The condition of the rooms was crusty. The bathrooms were musty, as were the rooms. There was mold. A lot of condensation on doors and windows. Our pillows were awful. Every last one. The water pressure was problematically strong. Shower was painful, toilet flush scary. Cute and convenient location, off site parking was easy in February, restaurant below with free breakfast. The breakfast was maybe 7/10 but convenient and well staffed. I’d return (if they get new pillows) but I’d only pay so much to stay here or inquire about the quality of other family sized rooms.
Kaleen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The reception people were not friendly or welcoming. Found it noisy as directly in front of island ferry. Room was stuffy but door windows opened. Toilet would tip over I told woman receptionist but she did nothing. Shower leaked and didn’t drain so had to stand in murky water. Beds comfortable. Sister booked to stayed in a different room and left immediately, it was a closet with window overlooking lane way and Indian food wafted in. Our room overlooked river but it was chilly and our side got no sun so we’re sort of were cold the whole time. Great location for ferry. Parking a block or so away in public lot. Not easy to find the place. Google maps was lost too. Make sure to have phone calling available to you. Breakfast was good and servers were lovely. Place needs a deep cleaning imho. Reception should try to smile.
Katherine, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Residencial Marés is well located in the Tavira downtown area. At first impression, my room looked spotless; however, once I took my first shower, the water sprayed through the shower door and onto the floor. I had to use all my towels to wipe up the floor. This issue was brought to the owners' attention; however, to fix the shower, they would have to rebuild it. I spent eight days without an efficient shower. Also, although the place was clean, there were areas where the paint was peeled from the ceiling and the walls. I was under the impression that this hotel was recently renovated. If so, there is still work that needs to be done. The owners seem aware of this issue and have not repaired the shower. As I was leaving, my room was already booked for another guest. Breakfast was included with my stay. However, I must say that the eggs and bacon and even the pastries were cold no matter what time of the morning I had breakfast. I would reconsider another place before staying at this hotel for future visits. Fortunately, the beauty of the village of Tavira made up for the struggles I experienced with this hotel. If you plan to stay at this hotel, please bring your own shampoo and conditioner and lotion as none as provided. Also, there was no iron in the room.
