Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person)
Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus.
Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area
The rooms were small and poorly cleaned. We even had to change rooms because of dirt on the curtains, and we found hair on the bed and pillows. Towels were consistently missing, a problem we observed multiple times.
The pool restrooms were always heavily soiled with urine.
The food was good, and the experience at both restaurants was incredible.
The pool temperature was great, but it was off-putting to see it full of hair.
Mosquitoes were also a major issue; even with repellent, they were relentless.

Clean and tidy. There is a large terrace near the sea, and the restaurant also has floor-to-ceiling windows with a view. The location is quite good. The service is warm and professional. The hotel is a bit old, but it is well maintained and does not look old. The only drawback is that although there is a kettle on the table, I couldn't find a socket after searching around. In short, the cost performance is very high, and it is a comfortable and pleasant stay experience.
Very comfortable and warm family hotel, the owner is active and enthusiastic, providing tea snacks, toast stove kettle microwave oven, hair dryer sunscreen and other supplies, even cats are very enthusiastic.
The location is 4, if you're not a rental car or a car user, you're not accessing it.
It's not easy.
Two-story structure
The first floor is a living room and kitchen
The second floor is used as a bedroom.
It's a place where I stayed for a while because of the street while moving,
It's a place that I can't rest after staying for a long time.
There are tables and sunbeds in the individual yard, which is a good place to rest.
Brilliantly located in Lagos, just set back from the port. Rooms are spotlessly clean and great amenities. Housekeeping crew tremendous and generally the staff are polite and on hand to help - 2 guys doing the concierge role were great. Breakfast was marvellous.
The only downside to my stay, was the spa facilities: both the steam room and sauna were out of order and the small poolside jacuzzi, was rather hit and miss.
That said, was great VFM and would certainly stay again.
The location is near residential area and is peaceful and quiet. Our room and balcony faces a not very pretty lot but it didn’t matter so much as we weren’t in the room much of the day. The room was clean and the kitchen very well equipped with utensils and appliances. the sofa bed sheets had some hair which was not too pleasant.
On one of the mornings, the electricity went out for 30 minutes but luckily it wasn’t too hot at that time.
As it was September, the hotel was fairly quiet most of the time although the front desk told us they were fully booked.
There were supermarkets nearly so it was convenient to get food and drinks, and there is a couple of very good Portuguese restaurants within walking distance.

Clean and modern building. This apartment has a great lobby and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The units are also extremely clean and have a lot of closet space. The beach, restaurants and shopping center were all within a 10 minute walk from our apartment. I highly recommend it.
Just remember you don’t have the view of the ocean, but as I said the water is just around the corner from the building.
Overall, the hotel is not bad.
But the WiFi requires additional payment and is not cheap. This should be unacceptable

SSbj66Decent Stay, but Could Be Better for a 4-Star Hotel
The Good:
• Location: The hotel is in a great spot—just an 8-minute walk from train Station and only 10 minutes by taxi to the airport, making it very convenient for travelers.
• Breakfast: One of the best parts of our stay! A great selection of food, and the addition of a piano playing in the background made for a lovely atmosphere.
The Not-So-Good:
• Bathroom Issues: Unfortunately, the bathroom had a bad smell, which we believe was caused by water collecting under the floor for a long time. The shower design was also frustrating, as water would leak out onto the bathroom and toilet floors. Additionally, the ventilation fan didn’t seem to work well, which made the smell worse.
• Construction Noise: This was a major issue. There was loud construction work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., making it nearly impossible to relax in the hotel during the day.
• The overall entrance to the hotel didn’t feel like a typical hotel—it was busy and had a commercial feel, more like entering a shop or mall.
We’d rate it 3/5. While the location and breakfast were great, the bathroom issues, construction noise, made it feel below 4-star standards. With better maintenance and some upgrades, this hotel could be much better!

JJenA Cozy Getaway with a Few Quirks
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Block C in a wonderful location near the beach. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there, as the bedroom was spacious and beautifully designed. However, there were a few quirks that left us slightly puzzled.
Locating the signage for the establishment proved to be a small challenge, but it added a sense of adventure to our experience.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room left something to be desired. It struggled to keep the temperature comfortably cool, and we often found ourselves feeling a bit hot. It would be great if this aspect could be improved to ensure a more comfortable stay.
Nevertheless, spending evenings on the balcony was a delightfully cozy and relaxed experience. The ambiance was inviting and lent itself to unwinding after a day of exploration. The surrounding garden and environment added to the overall charm, and we truly appreciated the pleasant surroundings.
I highly recommend visiting this place for a minimum stay of 2 to 3 days. Anything less would make the trip feel rushed, as there is so much to explore and enjoy. Despite the minor quirks, our overall experience was enjoyable and memorable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here and would gladly return for another visit.

SSTV7A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location - we went at a time where it was a little quieter but still sunny. They town is small and cute and during summer I’m sure there’s more entertainment. The staff in the beginning weren’t as welcoming but after that they were all very pleasant. We did mention it’s our anniversary but as this was in the beginning with staff that weren’t bothered nothing was done. Other staff were very very nice and always so helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the bar at night was also lovely.
AAnonymous UserHotel is in perfect location within the historical site, the room is clean and comfy. Beautiful pool in the middle of the garden. Despite all ups, the downside was the service in general, however the reception was helpful when asked.
Tips:
Avoid staying the same floor as the reception because there is a staff room next to you, and the staff come to chitchat in the room and the hallway (the same hallway as guest doors, clearly echo).
Beware of hot food running out from breakfast way earlier than closing time, you cannot request those eggs, bacons, mushroom if it's runs out. even there are many guests coming in and was no hot food.
Like other comment says the hotel is full of potential and personally we think its a very peaceful & lovely place with historical charm. Just the frontline service staffs around the place still far from that so called well service.
House keeping were friendly and helpful, gardening maintained well.
Enjoyed the place and once learned to didnt expect any service, Its was the best way.
GGuest UserBooked this hotel for a weekend getaway with my partner and we had an excellent experience. The onsite facilities were top-notch, from the relaxing spa to the suites. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – it offered a wide variety of options, ensuring we had plenty of choices to start our day. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable escape.
Mmicky sibalhello
this was our second trip my first trip was last year in the same hotel and it was the best three years we had spent in any hotel we loved the hotel and everything from service to food location everything but this time we were treated horribly at the reception the perrsonal at the reception was the worst a hotel should have as the first contact first of all they gave us seperate bed to a couple and wheen we asked the beds to be joined the reception personal after half an hour waiting for somebdy to come and join the beds told us and that too in the worst possible way that the housekeeping will come when they have time the worst experience anybdy can have in t¡a hotel where u have booked a second time for the treatment u have had earlier i will not recommend anybdy to book this hotel i dont know it was because we booked through trip .com because they treated us real badi am really hurt by the treatment given by the reception staff to a paying client
**TravelWithMe*Great location. 15min walk from the strip and 10 mins drive from old town. Everything was great in the hotel, rooms look great. Although we did have strong smoking smell come into our room a few nights even though balcony doors shut. The only problem I had was with the breakfast. Having allergies and dietary requirements were not really accommodated. Majority of the foods had egg in them. I emailed in about this before the stay but nothing was sorted out. I emailed a list of foods i can eat. I was also told halal food will be provided for me from the 3rd day with more variety for me. However I received no halal food/meat, and got hummus every morning out of the list I provided. Not the best but I gave up and stuck to just having potatoes and beans on bread every morning. They did bring everything from the back every morning which is a plus I guess. A couple of wrong recommendations about money exchange from reception too. Otherwise really good hotel.
