Comfy beds. Good black out curtains. Room needs a chair by the little glass table. Good number of hangers. Good number of drawers to stow clothing. No obvious luggage rack. Opening a suitcase on the floor is awkward at my age. Opening up on a dresser top is rude and disrespectful. The tv remote is ...

Had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and warm. The breakfast fabulous. The cocktails and views from roof top bar amazing. One slight negative was staff setting up restaurant for breakfast dragging not lifting chairs. I heard it all but just one of those things. I hope the floor is ok ...

Tavira

Ilha de Tavira is one of six barrier islands that makes up 18400 hectares of protected nature reserve along the Ria Formosa along with wetlands, mudflats and hundreds of species of plant and wildlife. The island itself has a commercialised centre with wooden walkways and cafes, bar, restaurants as well as a camping area (no hotels on the island). I felt a bit like i'd arrived at a theme park but once you go thought this and on to the beach, its lovely. A blue flag beach, 11km of coastline, sun shades and sun beds to rent but plenty of sand to spread out a towel away from the hustle and bustle. The island beach is only accessible by boat and there is a water taxi and ferry service that operates daily. During the summer tourist months the ferry runs from Tavira centre from the quay side near the indoor market. But in the offpeak months (even in May) you have to go to the Quatro Águas pier. (Don't be fooled by the ferry moored on the quay looking like it is waiting for passengers!) The walk to the ferry felt long, it was probably 20 minutes of so but in the baking sun along deserted road and salt fields it felt a trek. I'd recommend getting the bus if you can work out the timetables. Ferry Times: http://tavira.algarvetouristguide.com/beaches/tavira-island #NationalPark #Beach
