Ozadi Tavira Hotel
"The hotel is older and in need of some upgrades in the room we stayed. The reception staff were nice but when we asked for clean beach towels we were told the expectation is that we would keep then for a few days. Pool was clean but very much a family style resort with lots of kids in the pool. Also we were upgrade in our room but the breakfast room wdas directly above thus noisy as of 7:30 am."
