Ozadi Tavira Hotel

“Relaxing Stay”

We had a lovely 2 night stay with our toddler in one of the rooms facing the pool on the second floor. The room and bathroom were a good size, quiet, clean, and we felt relaxed during our time. I'm a light sleeper and slept well. Breakfast had a good selection but didn't change much (think this is standard as all the other hotels we stayed at during our two weeks in Portugal were similar with having the same spread each day). The kiddie pool was perfect for our toddler and it wasn't hard to find loungers. Although the location isn't in Tavira, it is only a short drive away. The traffic in the area around Tavira and the hotel didn't seem very busy in general so I don't think it's necessary to stay in Tavira. It's a good base to explore the beaches in the area as you just jump on the main road outside the hotel (really enjoyed Cabanas beach). We would absolutely return should we be in the area in the future and recommend this hotel without reservations.

“Nice modern hotel with easy access to Cabanas de Tavira beach”

Great hotel - very comfortable rooms, a large swimming pool area, and designed in a 1970s modernist style. There is a free shuttle service to Cabanas de Tavira, from where you can get a short ferry across to the island beach. There is also a well-signposted 3km running route across the Tavira sal… more

Great hotel - very comfortable rooms, a large swimming pool area, and designed in a 1970s modernist style. There is a free shuttle service to Cabanas de Tavira, from where you can get a short ferry across to the island beach. There is also a well-signposted 3km running route across the Tavira salt flats starting just outside the hotel, with amazing views if you go early in the morning. We booked a family room, and the sofa bed was just about big enough for our two children (aged 13 and 10) but it would probably be two small for older teenagers. Breakfast was very good, and is served in the rooftop restaurant.

Our second visit to this hotel: The first visit was in June, it was average but okay. They put us in a quieter part of the hotel which was good. The food in the orangerie was a bit more consistent with the quality and the service. The pool and gardens were regularly cleaned and looked after. The breakfast and service was quite nice but coffee not and the machine frequently broke. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing we were unhappy with at the end was the rate of exchange for the bill, it was terrible and really cheeky so spoilt the holiday a little. Our second visit was just recently in October. Prior to our arrival I paid in full for the room from home due to our nasty shock first time round. When we arrived I asked the receptionist if the room was in a quiet part again, we were assured it was. The hotel was full. We then went into the orangerie for a meal as we had arrived around 9pm really looking forward to a tapas and clams. There were people in. We were met with rude miserable staff, we felt it was such a chore for them to serve us. The clams were dreadful, we asked them to remove them off the bill, we tried two each but so rancid. We decided not to eat there for dinner until the end of our stay. As the holiday progressed the noise levels and inconsideration from some residents were terrible, in particular from above. The last few nights of our stay we could not wait to leave as we were shattered from the regular disturbed sleep from a very inconsiderate family above us, most nights we thought they were going to come through the ceiling. The pool, sun beds and hotel in general were looking mucky and not looked after in comparison to the first visit. The breakfast was still good but the coffee machine was up to its usual tricks and not pleasant to drink. We ate in the Orangerie the last night, there were new staff and slightly more of them which we felt was necessary as in defence to the other two staff they are run off their feet at times and the hotel we feel should have more of them in that area. The new staff were very nice and service with a smile. Food was ok. We travel to Tavira a lot and find it very relaxing and enjoyable. We ate at some lovely places over the years but were so disappointed with the hotel this time to the point we will not be returning.
