Maria Nova Lounge Hotel

"All very Covid secure and the staff were trained and confident about new procedures. There was a very good buffet breakfast. Your temperature was taken on arrival at breakfast, you had your own tongs, gloves available and individual helpings prepared - fresh muesli in a lidded pot and an individual bottle of milk. Our room was cleaned and sealed every day. Pool area kept very well. The hotel has been recently nicely refurbished to a high standard. The staff are really helpful. The hotel location is great - five minutes walk from the town and restaurants and with a lovely view."

"We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff are very conscious of the COVID situation and are all doing their very best to ensure anyone who stays at this hotel are confident that everything is clean and safe. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The rooftop bar is very classy and the breakfast, even with the social distancing etc, was delicious. We will be going back there in March as we enjoyed it so much."

"Beautiful hotel. We don't really like big hotels but this one has a very nice feel and the staff is amazing. The pool area is beautiful, location is also great as only within a short walk from nice squares and the centre, the room was great too. On top of all that, this hotel figured out how to handle breakfast buffets in covid19 times, they just nailed it! Hope we had stayed for longer :)"

"Confortable urban hotel, a short (uphill) walk from Tavira city center. Quiet area. Great rooftop bar. Nice staff. Competitive price."

"Very clean especially during Covid-19. Excellent breakfast regime. On entering, we were temperature checked and hands sanitized. After being shown our table, we were given disposable gloves and tongs to get food from the BUFFET. We had to keep moving in anti clockwise direction around the buffet. Very impressed with system and hygiene levels. Our room was sparkling clean and we felt super safe! The Aircon worked well and each room has individual units, again another safe procedure, not Central Aircon. Modern bathrooms with big walk-in showers. Beds were too firm for me but my husband liked it. Hotel changed hands 3 years ago and was totally modernised. We highly recommend this hotel for overnight stays. Easy to walk down to River and restaurants. Parking was easy outside of hotel. Hotel rooftop bar has good views. Both pools were a good size near the pool bar. WiFi speed was fast in the room."
