Hotels near Tavira Gran Plaza Shopping Mall

"Overall, the hotel offers a distinctive and peaceful resort experience with real character—far more than a standard stay. Set within a converted tuna-fishing village, it blends history, space, and a relaxed Algarve atmosphere beautifully. The setting is a real highlight. Built from a restored fishing settlement, the hotel feels like a small village rather than a typical block-style resort. It’s quiet, spacious, and surrounded by the stunning Ria Formosa, making it perfect if you’re looking to switch off and unwind. There’s easy access to the local beach, and the boat transfer directly from the hotel to Tavira Island (for a small fee) is a real standout feature. Facilities are solid, with pools, a spa, bars, and a good restaurant serving local Algarve dishes. The on-site museum and preserved buildings add an extra layer of interest and authenticity. Staff are excellent throughout, and the rooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast offers a wide selection, although it can feel a little repetitive over longer stays. The only real trade-off is the location. It’s not in Tavira town centre, which is great for peace and quiet, but you’ll need to rely on taxis, Uber, or a short drive to get into town."

"Personnel à l’accueil agréable et à l’écoute. Hôtel situé dans un cadre naturel très bien entretenu. Déjeuner buffet très bien garnie de produits de qualité. Tranquille et très propre. Vraiment un 4 étoiles. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter."

"We had a lovely four nights here in this older but charming hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms with a Juliette balcony to relax on. Breakfast on offer was lovely and we enjoyed the evening meals… delicious! Right across from the ferry to Tavira Island it was a perfect spot."

"Excellent hotel, all wonderful."

"Lovely hotel in the perfect location. Rooms beautiful however the bathroom needed a little bit of attention also housekeeping could have been better. Great selection at the buffet breakfast"

"Pool area was super, quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was super and staff really efficient. It is a good 10 minute walk to centre, first part along a busy motorway, but still near.. I asked for balcony before arrival because triples had none in hotel, so got a room in the adjacent building..my only negative is it was not set up as a triple, really tight.. only 2 chairs on balcony.. had a kettle but no cups or spoons.. fridge was in wardrobe and awkward to get to.. could be configured better.. Other than that negative, it was the most relaxing place pool and breakfast wise.. really enjoyed "
