I stayed here for four nights in April on a b&b basis. This was less than £15 a night for a twin room to myself. The room was fine (very plain - typical hotel room) and the balcony on the 4th floor had a great view over the town. I liked breakfast. I don't eat meat so can't tell you... More

My partner and I stayed here on a last minute deal and I expected that for the price we paid a high standard 4 star would be a bit too good to be true and was I right. It is definitely more like a 3 star but for us it was ideal. We stayed there on bed and breakfast and... More

Basic rooms, all with balcony, clean newly renovated marble bathroom and a good bed, TV with international channels. What could I expect more for a hotel we paid 14,86€/night for the double room (hostel rate)? In this property you even get free parking (in the street or limited in front of hotel), free Sauna, free indoor pool (don't forget you... More

Have to point out that may stay at this hotel represented excellent value for money. Spent four nights there last week of April and paid a total of just £45 (about £11 a night!) for single occupancy of a twin room. It was a spotless clean, quiet, hill-facing room on fourth floor with a little balcony which had a swallows... More

If you are looking for luxury and value for money, do not choose the porta nova hotel. Rooms are very basic. Electric sockets hanging off the wall, no glasses, no water, were given a bath mat, then someone took it away the next day. Food very limited and basic, has food poisoning on second night, we ate out at night... More

Would agree that this hotel is not a true 4* hotel ... but listen up ... large rooms, inexpensive rates, spotlessly clean and great location. I'd pitch it at a good 3*. It works for me as this is the 6th time we've stayed here. You want 5* prices with 3* service, then go right ahead. Give me Porta Nova... More

Well if your over 50 and want a quiet stay in Algarve this is it. If you have children or are under 50 stay stay away please. A few of our misshaps and sorry no good points really. We booked All-inclusive but was told on arrival we would only get snacks for 3 days as we were booked all-inclusive light.... More

I have never left a poor review for anywhere before, as I understand mistakes happen and you get what you pay for. However the combination of terrible events have forced me to plead others not to go to this hotel.We got put at this poor excuse for a hotel for our 4 night honeymoon when our travel agent mucked up...

Hotel Porta Nova is in a good position for resort. Tavira has lots of interesting bars, shops and other places. The boat to the beach at less than 2 euros return is fantastic value.
