The Tavoli hotel in Carvoeiro, was absolutely amazing. They are breathtaking views from your room as well as the restaurants and pool. The restaurants are very good, including The One, where we feasted on freshly grilled, turbot, had delicious sushi on the rooftop, and Espresso martinis well at the Azul Blue bar. The hotel is located right on the ocean, with the seven Valley trail passing by that can take you to Benigel Caves. We opted to be picked up from the hotel with a stand up paddle boarding adventure into four different caves, including Benigel. We also enjoyed walking into town, a nice massage at their lovely spa and lounging by the pool. Oh, and one more thing - make sure to add the breakfast, the breakfast buffet is amazing, with an omelette bar, waffle bar, fresh, squeezed, orange juice a great spread of meats, cheeses, and pastries. You won't be disappointed! read more

Came here for a wedding. Perhaps the hotel was booked solid, but we were severely disappointed by our room. There was a fair amount of water damage. The bathroom was super small and since the shower door doesn't extend all the way, it was constantly flooded. We had the dinner buffet while we were here and the food here was extremely subpar. It was also very expensive compared to just walking around town (which is safe and nice) to one of the local restaurants. That being said, we also got the included breakfast and the food was very good there, though the same every day. Another nice touch to the breakfast though was that cava / prosecco was included in the breakfast. The pool area was nice, but we were unable to get a seat and therefore unable to use the pool. Another nice touch was that it was connected to a cool hiking path. To get to the beach was maybe a 10 minute walk. It was a similar walk to get to town. Overall, I feel like the room situation was not good enough that I would ever consider returning to this hotel. read more

This was a wonderful place to stay and in a great location. Easy to walk to town or just to hang out.

We. Hose to stay at the Tivoli for our honeymoon after being married in Sintra. It is stunningly beautiful and well situated amongst the town of Carvoeiro as well as the nearby Marinha beach , one of the top 20 most scenic beaches of the world ! It is rated 5 star but if you are from America don't expect the same rating system - Service is extremely slow - albeit mostly friendly ... Americans are used to "air con" but that is also not at the level Americans expect ... the caves , cliffs and cuisine however make up for the small service issues. Definitely would revisit ... read more

We stayed here for 3 nights in October 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Unsatisfied with the first room (low floor, not great view, 2 double beds instead of one queen) we were able to get a much better room without too much inconvenience (both rooms were the same category of rooms). The bed was very comfortable, but the absolute best part of the room is the terrace with that amazing view. The terrace restaurant and roof top bars are also great places for a drink or nosh, but your own terrace is honestly just as good. The pool was nice, especially if you are not a fan of ocean swimming as the surf can be a bit rough. Breakfast every morning was very good and a great reason to stay here. The buffet was endless with lots of high-end options, and the dinning room is very pleasant with good views. For beach access you really do need to go into Carvoeiro, which is a 10/15 minute walk. The town has lots of restaurants for lunch and dinner options, bars, and touristy souvenir shops. There is also a very nice boardwalk along the cliffs. One reason we stayed here was it is a little remote but also kind of in the middle of the region, so it was a good location to be based out of. read more

Tivoli Hotel & Resorts - View from terrace - Resorts Near Me - Carvoeiro, 10

Excellent service! We booked a standard room towards 2nd half of November which is considered a low season, the whole resort felt kind of empty but service did not fall short at all. All the staff we interacted with were extremely welcoming, offered more than we asked for and all had great positive attitudes. I used American Express Platinum card to book the room and for that reason we were upgraded to 5th floor (same floor as lobby) room directly facing the iconic cave and the swimming pool with a balcony, the view was amazing! We even saw sunrise from the room and it's breathtaking. Also because of AMEX we were given $100USD credit to spend at the resort which was a nice treat. The room was clean and new, bathroom was big with a floor to ceiling glass looking the ocean, and the location was perfect to walk to nearby famous beaches and only 10 mins walk away to the small downtown with lots of shops. I'm going to stay at this resort again when I have chance to visit the area next time! read more

Tivoli Hotel & Resorts - Sunrise view from our room - Resorts Near Me - Carvoeiro, 10

There is nothing luxurious about this place. Rooms are not nice, service is average and food is absolutely disgusting. Our child as well as my husband both got sick after eating the breakfast buffet. Don't waste your money. Oh and we left something in the room and realized within 2 hours after Checking out and when we called they denied having it even though I'm 100% sure we left it on the bed. - It was our baby's sleep sack that she can't sleep without. Never again. read more

We stayed there in 2016 prior to the much-needed renovation and returned in September, 2018. The needed renovations were mostly in the rooms, which used to have "your grandmother's" décor. They are much nicer indeed. Aside from that, most of the changes were in layout of the lobby, where breakfast is served and the addition of the rooftop Sky Bar. That said, for a hotel that is essentially US$300+ for a decent room, we were very disappointed. * Let's start with room problems: o The DeLonghi pod coffee pot didn't work. o Multiple light bulbs were out. o There are a lot of light switches by the night stand but none are labeled and two killed all lights or the switches/wiring is faulty. o The bathroom is an open plan shower but there are no bath mats. o Laminate on the door frame in the bathroom was already peeling off. o There are not enough racks and shelf space in the shower. Nor is there a fan. o The towel rack was already coming of the wall. o The shower is overhead, not wall mounted. The optional hand held shower dispenser didn't have a wall mount to secure it. * Outside the room: o There is not a concierge desk and no stand with information for tourists. You have to wait in line at the front desk to get any and all information, including requesting taxis. o Azur Bar: The young servers are incredibly slow. I asked one for the check out on the patio and he told me to go inside to get it from the bartender. o Mare Bistro (poolside restaurant): Sadly, after the renovation, it has the same shit hours and doesn't open early yet closes early. I went down on Sunday morning and they didn't open until 11AM. It closes at 6 or 7PM. No morning coffee or sunset cocktails for you. o Speaking of coffee, there is no where to get coffee in the hotel in the morning without going to the breakfast café. Even in there, where there is a breakfast buffet, there is no self-serve coffee station. You have to wait to be served coffee at your table. o There is no newsstand, gift shop, anything to buy anything, whether it be a newspaper, toothbrush, or, again, a cup of coffee. o The included breakfast buffet includes much less options than before the renovation when the breakfast was downstairs. On top of that, the quality has decreased. The scrambled eggs and "bacon" were horrible. There was no cold milk available to drink, only warm sitting out for cereal. o As we were checking out very early, we ordered a private car hire from the front desk the night before. We were offered a boxed breakfast to take with us since we would miss the buffet. Upon checkout, they had no record of our boxed breakfast request. * The pool and access to the beach: o The pool decking and furniture looks much nicer after the renovation. o Access to Praia de Vale Covo is not the hotel's responsibility, but they need to get the municipality to fix the railings and steps down to the beach. It's very dangerous now. The thing about this Tivoli property is that they have the view, a view that not many other properties in the Algarve can offer. But they need to get it together and make it worth the US$300 a night for more than the view. I will be looking for alternatives, sadly, for our next trip to the Algarve after this visit. read more
