We have just returned from a 10 day holiday in Tavira, Portugal. The hotel was classed as a 4* hotel, however i dont think it really matched up to 4*'s. It was a nice hotel, good location to Tavira. But was pleased we got a good deal on it, wouldnt have been happy to pay the full price for what... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in April 2008. Upon arrival reception staff were incredibly polite and helpful and throughout our stay they really helped us with any questions about the area and gave great tips on places to eat etc. The main lobby area is very nice and the hotel from the outside looks... more

Is supposed to be 4* but is really 3* Restaurant is dark and sweaty with poor food choice and just OK quality. We had booked b & b but only had breakfast once. We went down for dinner once but left before eating. Reception is huge behind the desk and cramped for guests. Balcony had several birds nests on it... more

This is the first holiday my hubby and i have taken without our children (who are now too cool to be seen with us!). The location of the hotel is great, very central and you havent to walk far to reach the small square with the wonderful little corner Cafe to chat with the locals who are extremely friendly.

Just returned from a short stay at the porta nova, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are small but very clean. Breakfast buffet is great to set you up for the day but the pool snacks are very expensive and of a very poor quality, the poolside drinks are a rip off too. The panoramic bar... more

Glancing at the lunch and evening menus i am so glad we booked b&b as it looked very bland. The weather was fantastic, in... more

Now this is meant to be a 4 star hotel, but it certainly is not. We found the service of the staff to be less than impressive, they had very limited English and I am sure some were on work experience as they had no idea whatsover. The room itself was okay, however the bathroom was filthy, in fact never... more

we stayed at this hotel only for a long weekend and that was defintely long enough. The previous reviews have been mixed but we would defintely agree with those that stated it is not a four star hotel -far from it. The Reception member of staff when we arrived was unhelpful, the poolside bar in a disgusting state on most... more

Just returned from a week all-inclusive in Hotel Porta Nova. Overall it was a very nice hotel. The food was spectacular always a choice and there was never a day I was left dissapointed. However entertainment was poor because really there wasnt any, I mean for the days there was entertainment it wasnt spectacular but it was entertainment and at... more
