"Friendly staff, clean property. Pool was convenient on the hot days. Cafe across the street and others just blocks away. Curious Cat Tapas House (2 blocks away) was so good that we returned the next night to try other dinner items."

10/10 Excellent
"Arrived checked in with no problems and shown to our room , which was a triple deluxe room. Lovely comfy beds-even the sofa bed was very comfortable! Bathroom was very spacious and towels changed daily, we had to squish a few ants but I guess you can expect that in Portugal. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. I especially liked the small plates- stops people taking huge potions and wasting lots! The dining room was lovely- not so ‘canteen like’. Highlight at breakfast was the pastel de nata- which were freshly cooked and still warm on occasions! We only used the hotel restaurant on 2 occasions but were very pleased with what we ate there. The swimming pool was lovely- great atmosphere, nice and quiet with no loud music! We were a group of 3 and could always get loungers. We made use of the free beach towels too- nice touch. We used the minibus into tavira and the beach which was great, the only criticism was the bus didn’t start early enough, run late enough or often enough, so we used Uber taxis which were cheap enough at 7-10 Euros each way. I would definitely stay here again and Tavira town is beautiful- hoping to return!"

"This was a nice place to stay in the middle of town (short 3-5 minutes to almost anything—so many great restaurants and cafes). The hotel has a lot of character, The room was nice, but definitely on the smaller side. Our room had a great view of the river and the center of town. Breakfast was free and was delicious. Parking is free but about 2 blocks away in a busy public lot on the river (away from town). Both times I parked I somehow snagged the last space there. There is another free lot not too far."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Verdelago and would happily return. The resort is beautiful, the staff were wonderful throughout, and the restaurant team in particular were fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and really made the stay feel special. Honestly, the only things missing for us were a spa and a heated pool. Add those and it would be pretty much perfect! We had such a lovely time and would definitely stay again."
