Spotlessly clean hotel with extremely welcoming staff. Swimming pools were a bit cold but that’s the only downside. Breakfast selection was very comprehensive.It’s a slight downhill walk into town so prepare for an uphill walk back.2nd time here and will definitely be back.

Dirty room, sometimes nice staff but mostly not. Room was not ready at check in time, first receptionist didn’t offer anything. Just told us, you’ll have to wait, her colleague corrected. Cocktails are horrible in pool bar, in fact - the pool side bar is just empty and was never open - really false advertising here. Gym was very old and small. Beds were not made for 3 nights in a row and not firm anymore (old - hole in it) No way it’s a 4 star hotel… experience was maybe 2 stars. Only rooftop bar and breakfast were very good. All other sub-par

We stayed at this hotel for 11 nights. There were some positives, but also several areas that need improvement. The staff were incredibly nice, friendly, and always helpful. The pool was excellent and one of the highlights of our stay. The breakfast was good, although the selection was exactly the same every day, so it became repetitive during a longer stay. Unfortunately, the room did not meet the standard I would expect from a 4-star hotel. Throughout our 11-night stay, the room was not vacuumed even once. The balcony was never cleaned, and the refrigerator had an unpleasant smell. Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance of the room were disappointing. While we appreciated the friendly staff and enjoyed the pool, the condition and cleanliness of the room left us unsatisfied.

Great hotel in Tavira. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Cleaning staff Yolanda and Maria did an amazing job making up our room daily during our week long stay. Hotel has a rooftop bar with live music. The young ladies singing had amazing voices and put on a great show. Buffet breakfast was great and had lots of options.

The hotel is located perfectly near the center of Tavira, just a few minutes away by foot. The hotel looks nice, but it has seen better days I'm sure. It could do with some maintenance. Rooms are comfortable though and beds are good. Be carefull, shower floor can be very slippery! Breakfast buffet was good, even had someone playing the piano, although the breakfast room is very noisy. Pool area (inlcuding pool bar) is very nice. Not able to rate the rooftop bar as it was closed for guests due to a private party. During check-in and check-out we had a different person behind the counter. I found them both not very friendly and a bit grumpy. That is certainly something that needs improvement, even if you go there for just one night.

An absolutely incredible hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went over & above to make my stay the most comfortable, and definitely memorable experience, again. That's what brings me back each time. The genuine warmth of every team member makes you feel like your a part of the AP family. The bond between them all is very obvious...signs of excellent management. They know how to make you feel truly special, and appreciated as a guest. Add to that, all the amenities you could want, and just a short walk to the historic downtown. You'll enjoy incredible views of Tavira, all the way to the ocean, and the rooftop lounge is the perfect place for a romantic dinner, complete with stunning Tavira sunsets. I highly recommend this wonderful hotel, it's always the best and most unforgetable experience.

This is our second time at this hotel and would definitely return. Could not fault it in anyway. Breakfast was brilliant and the staff are so warm and helpful. Yolanda the lady that cleaned our room was so helpful and she was great at her job. Very relaxing holiday.

We have just returned from an fantastic break in Tavira.. the hotel is amazing and made our stay.. above all the staff were outstanding. The rooms are starting to show signs of wear and tear but everything worked (aircon whisper quiet) and we had a pool view 2nd floor. Breakfast (buffet) was excellent with a good mix of options. The staff again were spot on keeping things topped up and clearing tables in a flash. Access to the hotel is either via a short steep hill or flight of steps. It will be our choice of hotel if and when we visit again.Rooftop bar is reasonably priced and again you are well looked after by the staff.

Where can I eat near AP Maria Nova Lounge?

The hotel itself is a great starting point for meals. Balsa by Quinta São Sebastião serves Portuguese cuisine with international touches, and the Rooftop Nomad Restaurant & Bar offers gourmet dishes with a view over Tavira. For a casual bite, the Pool Bar has light meals and drinks. Since the historic center is about a 6-minute walk away, you'll find plenty of local cafés and restaurants there for a traditional Tavira meal.

What is the area around AP Maria Nova Lounge like?

Tavira's bus and train stations are within easy walking distance for day trips. For island beaches, the ferry piers are nearby. The hotel pool and rooftop bar offer a relaxed spot to wind down after exploring.

How do I get to AP Maria Nova Lounge from the airport or main train station?

Alternatively, take a train or bus from Faro city to Tavira; the train station is on Rua Maria Piedade Vaz Baganha, about a 10-minute walk from the center. From there, the hotel is a short stroll into the historic heart, just 6 minutes on foot to both Castelo de Tavira and Jardim Público de Tavira. Walking from the station is easy, and the bus station also sits close to the old town. You will find the hotel at R. António Pinheiro 17, right in that walkable area.

What's there to do near AP Maria Nova Lounge in the evening?

For a relaxed evening, start at the hotel's own Rooftop Nomad Restaurant & Bar, enjoying cocktails and a 360º view over Tavira, or head to Balsa by Quinta São Sebastião for Portuguese cuisine. Both are right on site. Afterward, the historic center, including Castelo de Tavira and Jardim Público de Tavira, is just a 6-minute walk away, where you can explore the evening ambience. For a change of scene, the pool bar (open in summer) is another option for drinks. You're well placed for a pleasant evening stroll around the old town.
