Isla Cristina Holiday Rentals

"Perfect place to stay in Tavira. Walkable to anything, can’t beat the view. Lovely staff, wonderful amenities. "

"Very comfortable hotel. Excellent breakfast, including cooked if you want it, from 7.30am. Coffee machine and small fridge (mini-bar) in room - no kettle or tea but that seems normal for Portugal. Pool looks good but we didn't use it. "

"It was unfortunate that there was road construction at the time of our stay 10 /13-10 / 20. However, with the windows closed and our air conditioner on we slept well. Staff friendly and helpful,( shout out to Mario ) Very reasonably priced "

"It’s always nice to stop there "

"Breakfast lovely. Spa wasn't available "

"Standard resort hotel, good value for money and good quality restaurant. However we were allocated a room above the bar that suffered from both noise and cigarette smoke. We were told that the hotel was full and that we could not move until the next night. The process of moving was made as difficult as possible and at no point did we feel that the staff took our request seriously- we were left with the impression that we were an inconvenience. After moving we were quite happy with the stay but if you are after a peaceful place to relax it’s not the hotel to book. "

"We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the resort. The check-in was seamless and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend renting a vehicle, as the resort is quite aways from dining (other than resort options). Parking in the outside parking lot was free, as well as street parking. Parking underground was 12 euros per night. In October, we had no trouble finding a spot outside. The room was in the smaller side, but neat, clean and comfortable. Yes, there were a few ants in the bathroom, but it was understandable given the somewhat remote location close to nature. I would recommend bringing insect repellant, even in October, if you plan to eat outside in the evenings. The breakfasts were pretty good, with lots of options. We had the dinner buffet the first night for 29 euros per person - but for every other lunch and dinner, we went into Tavira or Faro. There were much better options with 4.8/5.0 reviews on google that were tastier and less expensive. If you have a choice, eat outside the resort. That being said, we would definitely stay here again. We did the yoga and the paddle boarding and enjoyed both activities. The yoga was very basic and certainly no comparison to yoga in any major North American city, but the beach was lovely. The paddleboards were the inflatable kind but I got the opportunity to work on my balance and their drag made sure I got a workout in. The resort is comparable to a 4.5 star resort in Mexico."

"Muy buena relación calidad-precio. El Spa y la piscina es un plus, la piscina extra limpia y al estar cubierta la temperatura del agua está muy bien y dentro de la zona cubierta es muy agradable incluso cuando está nublado. La sauna finlandesa y la turca súper bien, y el jacuzzi también. Estaba limpio, las camas muy cómodas, el aire acondicionado perfecto y la ducha invitava a ducharse. Una terracita coqueta. Está renovado con gusto. Muy bien situado. Los viernes y sábados con música en directo en el bar, súper bien. Hemos podido aparcar en los espacios reservados para el hotel sin coste adicional, imagino que es por ser temporada baja. Lo recomiendo 100%."

"Marta at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Thanks so much."
