Top Central Isla Cristina Hotel Reviews

Residencial Marés

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely charming, the innkeeper was delightful, there’s a free breakfast which was amazing, our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the river and was easy walking to everything. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Only downside would be if you can’t do stairs this is not suitable for you as there is no lift. But highly recommend if you are looking for a true European quaint inn."

Authentic Tavira Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We would most definitely stay at this hotel again. It’s a short walk to the city center. There are a couple restaurants and services very nearby otherwise all of the other restaurants and shopping are within walking distance. It’s in a quiet neighborhood so the rooms are very quiet. The hotel provides towels for the beach. There are a few nice little amenities, such as free cake, fruit, spa water, and pastries at any time of the day. There is a full bar that is only for hotel guests. Hotel has less than 30 rooms. Staff was amazing. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The entire hotel has a lovely design. Plug-ins for your electronics are well thought out. Plenty of hot water. Nice large shower. Our only complaint is the bathrooms are very dark. One other suggestion is they put more shade on the roof rooftop pool area. In the warm late afternoon, it would’ve been lovely to sit up by the pool and have a drink, but the intensity and direction of the sun made it uncomfortable. The pool is small and is not heated so depending on the season, it may not be very useful."

Vila Gale Albacora Eco-Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The overall impression is very good. The location is interesting and has plenty to offer for adults and/or children (adult and children’s swimming pools, a children’s playground and a kids’ club with entertainers and its own programme, a spa with a jacuzzi and a massage room, a bar open until 1 am, evening dancing, and a large area for walks) + the pink salt lakes nearby and a private shuttle to Tavira Island. Apart from the fact that the décor is rather dated and the room lacks the amenities you’d expect from a 4* hotel (no kettle, coffee machine or toiletries such as cotton buds or mosquito nets, and the air conditioning is about 25 years old), we were very pleased with our stay. I’d like to highlight the wide variety of food on offer for both breakfast and dinner – it’s very tasty and there’s something for everyone. And, of course, we were delighted and grateful to receive an unexpected and lovely birthday gift – a small cake with a limited-edition bottle of chilled white wine. I’d recommend staying for more than just one night."
