Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort

OBL

Our stay at the Tivoli hotel on Dec 2, was wonderful. My pooch and I had a great time and could not have been made to feel more welcome by all of the staff. The hotel is situated in a lovely residential area with stunning scenery and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach and the boardwalk. Parking was easy and right next to the hotel reception where we were warmly greeted and shown to our room. We were upgraded to a lovely terrace room because the pool was being renovated and there was no access to the back of the property only the side garden. What a delight to find a dog bed and dog bowls in the room. The room was immaculate, spacious and had all the amenities you need and more. We had dinner at the beautiful bar terrace overlooking the ocean and spectacular rock formations. They also have a special dog menu with a choice of main courses and snacks. We look forward to our next stay. Obrigada!

I'll start out by saying that this hotel's location is perfectly central for exploring so much of the Algarve. The view from the nearby cliff was wonderful. It's a quick walk into town and the free parking was an easy bonus for us. However we were rather disappointed with many aspects of the resort overall. This may have been a 5 star hotel at one point in time but things seem rather outdated now. The original room we were given was not clean and we had to ask to be moved to a less nice room that was luckily at least much cleaner but the staff did not even apologize for the problem. My partner and I both work in the hospitality industry and we found the service at both the front desk and the bar/restaurants to be lacking. We both understand that working in hospitality can at times be stressful but we found much of the staff to be rather apathetic. We realized that booking during the off season might result in some of the amenities being closed but we were sad to not find out until we got there that the rooftop bar was completely closed. The pool was open the first day of our stay but then was abruptly closed the next which was a disappointment with the weather being very nice still. It would have been nice to have a heads up or a discount on our stay due to the lack of amenities. TLDR: Great location but lacking in comfort, customer service and off season amenities. Probably a better deal during high season but if you're looking for luxury, I'd look elsewhere.

My wife and I had a wonderful wedding at Tivoli Carvoeiro. It is in every way, an exceptional hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Their wedding team Liliana and Ana were particularly accommodating, addressing our queries quickly and making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The hotel venue boasts amazing views of the ocean from the cliff tops, particularly when viewed from the sky bar. The catering provided for the wedding was among the nicest I can remember ever having at any event and the breakfast buffet was plentiful, fresh and varied. The rooms were modern, clean, quiet and comfortable. We are extremely glad we chose Tivoli. It was the perfect venue to celebrate our special day. We will definitely be back.

We had a great time in Tivoli Carvoeiro, and want to thank everyone there. The staff went above and beyond to make us have an amazing stay, as we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. The views from the hotel are superb, you can enjoy the typical algarve landscape from there. The facilities are excellent, the breakfast was 10/10, with a lot of options and high quality. Location is great, specially if you'd like to walk the 'seven hanging valleys trail' as you may access the trail close to the hotel. Carvoeiro town is only 15 min walk away.

I recently stayed at Tivoli Resort in Carvoeiro to celebrate my birthday, and while the staff was warm and attentive, the overall experience fell short of expectations for the premium price we paid. First, it’s worth acknowledging the positives. The team at Tivoli was extremely friendly and went out of their way to meet our needs. A highlight was the thoughtful gesture of sending a slice of cake and a bottle of champagne to my room for my birthday, which was truly appreciated. Additionally, the breakfast service was excellent—a great way to start the day with a variety of fresh options. Unfortunately, the rest of the stay was underwhelming. Many of the resort’s advertised amenities, such as the outdoor pool, Sky Bar, and restaurants, were closed for the season. Given that this is a five-star property, I would have expected either a reduced rate to reflect the lack of access or clearer communication upfront about these closures. Instead, we paid a premium price for an incomplete experience. The Tivoli Spa was another disappointment. I had booked what I thought was a deep tissue massage but ended up receiving something called a “fusion massage.” It wasn’t clear to me what the technique was, and the session did not meet my expectations. Perhaps things were lost in translation, but for a property of this caliber, I expected more clarity in their spa services. Overall, while the staff’s friendliness and small gestures helped salvage the stay, the lack of key amenities and an underwhelming spa experience left me feeling that the resort didn’t live up to its five-star reputation, especially for the price we paid. I’d recommend considering other options unless all facilities are confirmed to be open during your stay.
