Hotel Don Rodrigues

Location: The hotel is strategically positioned along major routes, offering easy access to nearby attractions like Pingo Doce within a 5-minute walk. Its proximity to Tavira and availability of ample parking make it convenient for travelers.

The perfect place to stay in Tavira. Clean, spacious double room, delicious breakfast and lovely swimming pool. Hotel was very quiet despite being by a main road. Special thanks to Mario and Joao at reception for being so kind and helpful to us throughout our stay. We encountered an issue with our electricity on our first day, but this was dealt with immediately with three solutions offered to us. The hotel is a little out of the main town, but we were happy to walk down into town. However, Ubers cost between 2-4€ and arrived immediately so it was no issue if we didn’t want to walk. We were shocked to find out during our stay that this is a one star hotel - it should be at least three or four stars. We look forward to returning to the hotel in the near future.

This is an excellent little hotel, pet friendly, a very short drive or cheap Uber away from Tavira. As others have remarked, it is not suitable for anyone wishing to walk in the immediate area due to the busy roads and lack of pedestrian access to countryside. We found the staff to be unfailingly kind and courteous, going out of their way to assist. The room was spacious with a balcony and everything one could reasonably expect at this price point, including coffee maker/ hot water dispenser ( pods from reception for a modest charge) and fridge.The air conditioning was efficient and adjustable. There was an extensive choice at breakfast, including hot and cold dishes, good cakes and pastries and a variety of milks such as soy and almond. The white coffee from the machine was unpleasant to our tastes, but was easily solved by microwaving milk of choice and using the separate espresso machine. There is a separate grill restaurant/ takeaway on site serving a good range of dishes at reasonable prices. It was well patronised by locals. The fumes from grilling were unwelcome at times depending on wind direction. The infinity pool was clean and scrupulously maintained. Towels were free of charge. Chairs and loungers available poolside. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this hotel as being of excellent value.
