I am afraid, my overall impression of our stay at this Hotel, was not up to our expectations. Based on the Hotels 4* rating, it certainly does not live up to it. Our first impressions as we went from Reception, through the glass doors to walk to the pool, were disappointing. The Doors and Glass Bannisters were very dirty and you could see had not been cleaned at all. I appreciate that you have the building work opposite creating dust (Which was a surprise in itself and obviously disappointing) however these could be simply wiped down am and pm to improve the look of the Hotel. We then went to the Pool Bar for our first drink and light lunch only to be handed a Menu that was old, dirty and tatty, not the best impression and made us wonder what the food would be like. Service was very hit and miss sometimes we waited for a long time when the bar was not too busy and I would end up going to the bar to order drinks/food myself. The drinks/food terrace area is not big enough for the number of guests at lunch time. The patio area has weeds growing through the cracks, which is not a good impression and easily remedied. The Sunbeds are old and uncomfortable as they have stretched too much, the Umbrellas dirty, broken and old. Breakfast however was plentiful and well run. It would have been nice to have some Portuguese dishes rather than just English food. Room cleaning generally good. Overall the Hotel is looking very tired and in need of some updating.

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 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.

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.

We spent one night in Tavira and this hotel was perfect. We were greeted by amazing staff and a complimentary glass of wine. The hotel was a quick walk away from the things we wanted to see in town. The pool area was lovely and the room was perfect for our stay. Breakfast was incredible with a pianist and so much selection at the buffet. The bar/restaurant on the roof had the most amazing views and I would recommend for a sunset drink. Unfortunately the dinner was not great. Overall I think this hotel was amazing

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!

Nice property, clean rooms and lovely pool area and roof top bar. The buffet restaurant breakfast was good but dinner wasn’t. Full of noisy groups with buffet style food which was average. Below par for a 4* hotel. Staff in restaurant were rushed off their feet which meant slow service particularly around drinks.
