ferry access plentiful breakfast free parking
The location is directly by the ferry to Tavira beach. The breakfast was plentiful. There is free parking a short walk away (convenient if you have a car).
The hotel has no elevator so carrying luggage to upper floors requires effort.

riverfront stay
river view convenient location helpful staff
my double or twin room river view offered fine views. i could see the river right from my balcony. the location was perfect, close to the ferry for island trips. the staff were also very helpful with directions.
the air conditioning was quite loud. it made it difficult to sleep sometimes. i wish it had been quieter.

poor food offering disinterested manager
the location was acceptable since it was next to the river.
the food was a real letdown the products ran out quickly and they weren't replaced. a waitress claimed she did not understand english she wandered around in a bad mood. the manager seemed uninterested when i complained about the poor service.
