The family friendly complex includes four pools (2 x adult, 2 x kids -- one is 25m with poolside bar); two kids play areas; BBQ area; bar/restaurant; tennis court; boules court; gym.

Looking out to sea over the town centre, the complex is a 10 to 15 minute walk to the town centre -- a car is not essential. There is a large, well-stocked supermarket less than 500m away. Taxis in Tavira are readily available and relatively inexpensive, within the town area, a taxi is usually less than Euro 5,00 (GBP4,00).
A local train service runs about once per hour connecting Tavira with Faro and all of the coastal towns from Villa Real do Sto Antonio in the east to Sagres in the west. There is a high speed train from Faro to Lisbon (with a connecting service from Tavira) each morning with a return in the evening. There are also express buses from Tavira to Lisbon, Seville, etc, as well as local buses serving the surrounding inland towns.
The Guadiana River valley (~20km from Tavira, this forms the border between Spain and Portugal) has many well-preserved walled towns which are well worth a visit; one option is to take a leisurely river cruise from V R do Sto Antonio.

Coming from Lisbon/Faro or from Spain/Seville on the A22 motorway, take the one and only Tavira exit. In the exit, take the N270 direction Tavira. After ~4km come to a roundabout on the N125 (the ordinary road linking Faro to the Spanish border). Here turn left (east) on the N125 toward Spain (Espanha), Villa Real do Sto Antonio -- ignore the Tavira signs. After ~1km you come to a tall bridge over the River Gilao, another ~1km you come to a second roundabout. Approx 500m after this second roundabout (on the left hand side) is the entrance to Tavira Garden but you cannot turn left. Continue 500m to the next roundabout and double back to Tavira Garden (opposite the entrance is a large garden centre, by the way).
