Very clean modern hotel on the outskirts of Tavira. Short walk into town ( but on a busy road). Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Great staff, very welcoming and helpful, eager to please and very attentive, they make all the difference to this place and your stay. Good breakfast. Pool towels provided at no extra cost. Good size swimming pool. Hotel lend us a parasol to take to the beach for the day (no extra charge). Nice comfy bed.

There’s no proper foot path when heading into Tavira centre if you want to walk. Main road behind the hotel can get busy and a little noisy, not ideal if you’re there to relax.

The hotel is along the national road but located closely to Tavira. Walking is dangerous because it is situated along the national road N125. However it is a very pleasant hotel, very clean with a professional helpful staff. Breakfast is AWESOME! The don't have a bar for drinks but there are machines located in the hotel and the pool where you can buy refreshments and/or beer. Nespresso coffee machine on the room and cups are available at the reception. The pool is located behind the hotel in a nice garden. Free parking available. Next door is a very nice restaurant with traditional Portuguese food.

Heavy noise during the evening/night due to traffic.

We really enjoyed the overall experience and Luis was wonderful when we checked in. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed with a balcony which was nice to be able to sit out in the morning and evening. The acceptance of our dog was great and she had ample space to walk in the grounds area.

Not so much that I didn't like as much as think could be improved on, while there was a coffee machine you had to pay 1 euro for each pod which I thought was very odd. Also, the coffee machine in the reception area was only included through the breakfast time and the fruit machine was switched off very promptly at the end of service. The room had everything we needed but was on the small side especially with two adults and a small dog. The breakfast was okay with a great selection of pastries but I felt the hot was extremely limited.

A lovely stay here - secure parking, on site restaurant and helpful staff. The pool was open and was pleasant to relax there in May. From a driving perspective, location is good - not right in the middle of an old town so easy to find and great for departing.

The hotel suggests you can walk to Tavira - well, yes, in theory. But the road outside the hotel is the busy ring road and has no footpath - we chickened out and took the car to Tavira (the hotel receptionist gave us guidance where to park).

What did we like? Everything!!!! From the initial impression, the grounds, private parking, being DOG FRIENDLY, and beautiful decor to the warm and welcoming staff. Including the most helpful Joao, who was so kind and considerate. He went out of his way to make our stay memorable. Mario who was beyond friendly and always had a smile on his face, as well as Afrodita and ZIna. If I ever have a chance to return to Tavira, I would definitely stay at Hotel Don Rodrigues.

There was nothing that we didn't like, except having to leave.

It is very easy to find the hotel with a gps. It is not in the city centre, but we were able to drive easily into town and park. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Coffee is available 24/7 in the lobby. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Don Rodrigues. Our room was spacious, clean and had everything as described in the amenities list. Breakfast was something to mention. It had everything one would expect af a normal continental breakfast, but what made it special was a cake table with at least eight different kinds of cakes and tarts. They even had a pasteie de Nata, like a custard tart, that was really delicious. How I wish I could get the recipe. ;-D On check-out they gave each of us a very special pen, which was a nice surprise. I can recommend this hotel to anyone travelling on a budget.

Fabulous location for town walking and lovely helpful friendly staff. The property was exceptionally clean and we enjoyed the daily breakfast. Lovely place to stay as our first stop on the Algarve. Louis and the team were wonderfully friendly and professional, Love to return someday.

care to be taken in the car park as we were almost hemmed in this morning due to a delivery truck parking alongside us and other vehicles moving around the park while we were trying to exit. Maybe guest parking only on the back fence area would prevent Kettle tea and coffee in the room would have been preferable.

From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the staff were all pleasant, helpful and informative, especially Joao. The room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was superb, lots of choice and good ingredients. We have stayed in 5 star hotels that do not come anywhere near our experience when staying at Don Rodrigues. A big shout out to all the staff, you're doing a great job Thank you

The weather but the hotel cannot control that ha ha !

Cosy boutique styled (although not described as such) smallish hotel. Beautifully clean and stylishly presented. Lovely garden with pool and loungers. Very comfortable room. Really helpful and cheery staff.

Nothing to dislike. In need of a bar but this is planned soon. Adjoins a local restaurant with typical local food. A little outside Town (which we knew and accepted as a reflection of the room rate) but a short 20 mins walk into the lively Town with bars and restaurants.
