    Nice hotel, good staff, good food. Rooms a bit on the small side but then again how much time do you spend in them. A bit outside Tavera, but the water taxi is a nice run in.

    Good authentic hotel situated in nature.

    rating11 Apr 2026

    Good hotel situated in a very beautiful evironment. The picture doesnt do this justice, but gives an impression.There was a salina with a lot of flamingo’s nearby.The dinner buffet could be improved, but breakfast was good and the a la carte dinner was excellent. I definitely recommend eating a la carte.There was not much adult entertainment, but a lot for kids.The rooms where okay, very authentic and cosy. Very friendly staff.The garden was also very nice.You could take a boat trip to the island nearby or walk on the beach.

    Albacora - we'll be back !

    rating13 Mar 2026

    Recently returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at this hotel. 1.3miles from Tavira Old Town centre, 40 mins drive from Faro Airport. Location is accessed thru the lanes surrounding the salt pans. A car isn't necessary - we discovered Uber ! The hotel no longer has a shuttle bus into Tavira. An ideal stay for children with a pool, play area and easy access to the beach. Recommend an omelette at the buffet breakfast, cooked to order with cheese, mushrooms, whatever you choose. A la Carte dinners didn't change during the week. Friendly Reception staff speaking good English (and several other languages) and 'Shiva' their friendly resident Mouser was very evidently in charge (hope you like cats ! ). The on site Spa is a bonus. Good solid comfy beds, fridge and safe, Wifi in our room. No tea/coffee making facilities - pods can be ordered at Reception at one Euro each. A ferry from Tavira Old Town takes you to Tavira Island beach. Praia dos Tasos is a closer beach within walking distance of Albacora Hotel, just below Fort do Rato.

    Disappointing Service

    rating13 Mar 2026

    We recently had our wedding at this hotel, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Overall, we are extremely dissatisfied with how these matters were handled on such an important day. I truly regret having our wedding at this hotel, as it makes me very sad—weddings are memories that last a lifetime.

    Beautiful natural place, very quiet and relaxing.The hotel is so nice. The staff are so nice and helpful. The spa other than massages is all included. If you go to the bar and the restaurant you'll enjoy the nice service, Miguel is so nice and helpful, you can really ask him what ever you want and he speaks a good English.
