My Husband and I went for our birthday. We fell in love with Tavira. The resort, breakfast and over all service was phenomenal. The staff went above and beyond with cake and gifts when they found out it was a special occasion. Appreciate all the kindness shown.

Contemporary but could still be improved
The hotel was modern and contemporary looking, the staff at the reception desk are welcoming and friendly, the rooms were good and the beds were very comfortable for a standard room. One downfall of the room was a lack of iron, something to note for others incase of clothes getting creased. Upon reading the reviews a lot of people mentioned the breakfast buffet being amazing, however, it seemed pretty average to me, it lacked variety of sweet and savoury type of foods and was pretty much the same everyday apart from the fruits changing. Also cross contamination between utensils is something to note, example: The cheeses use the same tongs as the cold meats, the tongs used for the vegetables near the eggs uses the same tongs to pick up bacon or sausages, something to note for any vegetarian / vegan customers. Moving onto the gym, the gym was sub-par, machines felt rusty, resistance felt weird and the free weights only went upto 17.5kg. Definitely in serious need of a revamp The spa itself was nice to use apart from the steam room in maintenance for most of our stay. Another negative is the car park situation, there is free limited spaces parking at the hotel along with free street parking, but what became really annoying was external customers attending the hotel restaurant or bar taking up all of the on site parking leaving us staying customers fighting to find parking on the street. Overall I'd give it a 4/5 star

Love this place
Brilliant location. It is up a hill, but no problem for us. Tavira is a quiet village, away from all the the hustle bustle. Beach is a nice, short, boat ride away. You get the boat from across the river. Breakfast was lovely, pianist every morning. There is coach station across the river but we had a car. Parked on the street at the front for free. Nice restaurants and local shops all around, more across the river. Had lovely food everywhere. Good supermarket, 10 to 15 mins walk. Nice, inside, shopping mall about 20 mins walk. I went a few times as there was sales on, bought some nice clothes and shoes. It is our 2nd stay. We will be back.

Great Hotel
Really lovely hotel in a great location, with gorgeous pool area. Service was fantastic for check in, breakfast and rooftop bar. Breakfast buffet was also excellent. We stayed in a standard room which was a little bit dated but it was perfectly clean and a decent size. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Very nice hotel. The room was nice and comfortable. The pool area is beautiful. The breakfast is very good- having live piano music made it special. Most of the amenities were good - having separate shampoo and conditioner would be nice and replacing water daily would also be nice. Very convenient to downtown Tavira but still quiet. Nice balcony

Rooftop patio for tapas, drinks or dinner was lovely. Breakfast was incredible! So many options. Beds very comfortable and nice balcony. Bathroom large and spacious. However there was black mold/mildew along seams of walk in shower where glass meets the shower floor. Long hallways to room are not air conditioned so very stuffy in halls and near eievators. Hotel high up at top of hill so not ideal for anyone to walk to or from if mobility challenges.

MP Nova Lounge is an average hotel. I particularly like the adult friendly nature of the hotel and its clean environment. The breakfast entertainment was very good. To improve and make the hotel a truly four star hotel, the hotel should provide drinking water, toothpaste , milk for tea and coffee in the room as part of the paid stay. As the hotel provides sauna and steam room, guests should all have a robe for these facilities. His recommendations should uplift the hotel’s reputation. Thank you.

Good but could be better
Overall a reasonably good hotel. Rooms are a little tired and the pool area could do with some TLC. The pool wasnt cleaned very well and was constantly full of dead flies so not very inviting. On 3 occasions the water went off in the hotel, this was invariably early evening when people wanted to shower. One time I was in the shower, covered in shampoo and soap, very inconvenient. Staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was very good and the pianist playing at breakfast was a lovely touch.

This was a return visit. I enjoy the spa facilities particularly and easy access to tge centre of Tavira. Access to the local beach by ferry is very important to me as i enjoy the long walks and solitude.

Everything was great until we decided to sleep. There was constant furniture moving noises for 2 hours from 11pm that kept us awake from the restaurant above. A call to the front desk at 1am did remedy the problem. More attention to noise control would be appreciated in the future.
