Quatro Aguas, 8800-901 Tavira, Portugal – Great location - show map
The breakfast is good with an omelette bar and fresh bread and fruit. Best thing about this place is taking the boat to the beach with the restaurants. We had a fabulous meal at one of the beach front restaurants.
United States of AmericaProximity & boat direct from hotel to Island w amazing beach. Quiet place Kind staff-especially dining room Excellent breakfast. Dinner food was good. Many Portuguese & European guests Turkish steam
United States of Americabreakfast was superb, free toiletries the program said, I suggest you don,t call it that, since only fluid soap at the sink and in the bathtub.
SpainBreakfast was amazing. Also, the bar, restaurant, SPA, and pool areas were quite pristine and well cared for. The staff was amazing and always very thoughtful and helpful. The area is extremely close to Ria Formosa and Tavira's center. Quite good to chill out.
PortugalPretty, it was peaceful, comfortable, breakfast was great, friendly staff. Besides dinner, It was a wonderful experience.
QatarFriendly staff, great beach location and very clean hotel
United KingdomThe grounds are lovely to walk around. Pool is lovely. Many spa services available. There are great trails out the back. The site is quiet and contemplative. Loved that you can catch a boat to the beach right behind the hotel. Breakfast was a great bargain. Eating outside, we were joined by the little sparrows...which was very sweet, if a bit pesty.
United States of AmericaBeautiful setting close to the river and short ride by boat to the beach. Lovely pool. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was delicious with many options. A 10 minute drive to lovely town of Tavira.
United States of AmericaThe location is a bit far away from the action, but offers an unique opportunity to blend in the coastal life of the region surrounded as is by marine salt marshlands and immersed in total silence. The hotel also offers an unique layout in a restructured tuna meat processing plant with a chapel and a school for the workers' families. There are plentiful opportunities to wander around or spend great time in the historical district of downtown Tavira which can be easily reaced by bycicle.
ItalyNicely renovated hotel located in a quiet area. We stayed in winter so it was pleasant. Nice spa. Good food on the menu of the restaurant. I imagine it must be crowded and different in the summer.
