The location of the hotel is excellent, it is just a few meters from the beginning of the Sete Vales Suspensos trail (starting at Vale de Centeanes and ending at Marinha beach). The hotel has a Tuk Tuk service that takes you to and from some beaches, including Marinha, so you can walk the trail and return by Tuk Tuk. The view from the hotel is beautiful. The bathroom in the room could have been a little bigger to have space for a sink and toilet separate from the shower (we took a room with a view and it really was beautiful). The cleaning service was very good, they cleaned twice a day, with turndown. We had a little problem with the room because it was downstairs from the breakfast restaurant. On the second or third day of our stay, the hotel placed an additional omelette island on the restaurant's balcony for breakfast, that is, above our room. When we arrived from the cafe, our room was full of flies and had a very strong smell of eggs. The hotel only offered a complimentary bottle of water on the first day, then there was a charge. I think it makes a difference if the hotel provides water. Great restaurants, meals, organization, service. Breakfast with plenty of options. The hotel's outdoor pool is not heated. The beach in front of the hotel was closed for safety reasons, as the public access was damaged, but it is possible to walk to the beaches next door and the hotel also offers transport.

Our stay at your hotel was truly exceptional and left a lasting impression on us. We were impressed by the outstanding friendliness and professionalism of all your staff, from the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive care of the service and cleaning staff. The constant presence and availability of the staff gave our stay a special touch - we never had to look for anyone. In addition to the warm hospitality, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness and exquisite furnishings of our room and public areas. The thoughtful design and the loving details contributed to a pleasant atmosphere that made our stay even more pleasant. The culinary experience in your hotel's own restaurant was also remarkable. The variety and quality of the food on offer exceeded our expectations and provided true culinary delights. The efficient and friendly guest service deserves special mention. Concerns were resolved quickly, questions answered in detail - a service that really sets standards. The location of your hotel is perfectly chosen: on the one hand, easily accessible, on the other hand, in a quiet environment that contributes to relaxation. We would also like to mention the small but meaningful touches that made our stay more enjoyable, be it the welcome gift or the evening turndown service. These details demonstrate a high level of attention to guests. The range of leisure options and the excellent wellness area also contributed to making us feel completely comfortable and taken care of. Last but not least, we would like to praise the environmental friendliness of your hotel, which is demonstrated, for example, by recycling initiatives and energy-efficient facilities. It is gratifying to see how sustainable practices are implemented here.
Overall, we would like to stress that our stay at your hotel was unforgettable and we felt completely pampered thanks to your efforts. We are already looking forward to being your guests again in the future.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Beautiful Hotel in a fantastic cliffside location with an impressive sea view. The hotel is spotless, recently renovated and maintained impeccably. We had a Junior Suite with a spectacular sea view. Everything in the suite was gleaming housekeeping do an amazing job. The daily breakfast has a huge variety to suit almost every taste and was delicious. Lovely seafront dining room a great way to start your day in the Algarve. While to food at the hotel is very good it is in my opinion very pricy given there are so many fantastic restaurants withing walking distance of excellent quality at a fraction of the price. The staff at Tivoli are outstanding from the moment you arrive until your departure the really work hard to make your stay special. The pool is beautiful and spotless during our time the temperature was perfect, the Trex style pool deck looks great but can get very hot by mid day. During peak season the price of this hotel are high but, the quality of your stay is exceptional. I would without hesitation highly recommend the Tivoli Carvoeiro for a vacation on the Algarve.

We stayed here for 5 nights in a terrace room. We were put in the garden rooms which had a lovely view however the bottle bank and service delivery location is on the other side of the wall so the noise is terrible. We asked at reception about the room to be told ‘it will be better tomorrow’ and the noise was exactly the same all 5 days. The service was not friendly, not welcoming and extremely slow. It seems that if you don’t have a suite, you don’t get the service. The bar by the pool is the worst in the resort, they never got our order correct once. Giving us alcoholic cocktails when we asked for cocktails as we don’t drink, if it was a small error, I wouldn’t have minded. Despite this, the beds are comfortable and the views are spectacular. There are a lot of cob webs in the room so be prepared to wipe these yourself as housekeeping don’t notice. The Tivoli Alvor is a lot cheaper and the service and food choice is so much better.

Pension 5 stars, barely 4 or 3 in reality no direct access to the sea (despite the photos, outside staircase overlooking the sea ‘collapsed’ and unrepaired ) small outdoor swimming pool and no charm facing a public road where hikers pass and pass before our eyes.On arrival barely a hello, we are asked to pay immediately the stay (booked live for several months being subscribed to the NH group), nobody to tell us how the Pension works they give us two Badges and manage you, note that surely smiles must be paid because we had none (except for all the very friendly household teams), the room very banal... (electrical outlet in the middle of the bed at pillow height, 1 bedside table for two? Blackout bathroom stained on the whole ext...) regarding breakfast nothing extraordinary, correct. Only positive about the location and access 10 minutes walk from the city, I wanted to offer glitter to my wife , it was a wet firecracker.

This hotel is siuated overlooking the sea with a spectacular view of rock and cave formations. Positive features include a great range of foods at breafast and close proximity to the town of Carvoeira, Variable standard of restaurants in the town.Local beaches are generally small and not as spectacular as other areas in the Algarve. It purports to being 5 star however it really is 4 star. The rooms are very basically decorated, they have nespresso machines and a kettle. The beds are comfortable - rooms are on the small side which generally is not an issue as you hope not to be spending too much time there . In our room we had a coffee table which had seen alot of service with damaged veneer hanging off. (Bin it?) The gym is small with surprisingly good number of machines.Strangely 3 badly worn and damaged exercise mats (they dont replace them as they say guests steal new ones?)Very poor hygeine measures in the gym with no sense anyone is in charge of this area. No supervision of the machines or the weights .Exercise classes suggest yoga classes but currently no one who actually knows yoga. Guestwise lots of American ,Canadian , English , Irish,and some Portuguese. Lovely Sky bar but the main Bar is atmosphere less except when Rugby world cup tie is occurring and then small clumps of supporters. (English and Irish ), We ate once in the hotel for dinner and the meal was poor. I did not use the spa as I felt it was very generic and pricey.(Spas generally have come a long way in recent years -there was nothing special about this spa.) I/we will ncenot be reurning as this was not a 5 star experience

We stayed here for a week in a sea view room and had bed and breakfast. The view was absolutely amazing and so was the breakfast. Whilst in the resort I was already looking at booking for next year! The staff are really great - they are all very helpful. The gym facilities are good and everything is clean. The hotel has 3 electric tuk-tuk routes (which are free!) to Carvoeiro town, centianes beach, and marinha beach. We didn’t really eat at the restaurants (we found mare bistro to be expensive) aside from breakfast as we like to explore. The cleaning staff are very thorough but if you decline cleaning you get some drinks vouchers which can be claimed throughout the resort. My favourite ever holiday and I miss it already! Thank you

The hotel is renovated. The room is beautiful and very comfortable, overlooking the outdoor pool and the cliff, contains robes and room slippers. The balcony of the bedroom allows you to catch the sun while saving some privacy. The spa though small is nice. The breakfast has immense variety and quality, with views over the cliff allows you to spend an excellent time.

We stayed for 10 glorious nights at this amazing hotel . Fab staff who work very hard to ensure guests are looked after . Visited various restaurants in the hotel but have to say The One restaurant is extra special , can’t recommend it enough . We used the complimentary tut tut into the town centre and also the beach on several occasions. The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants close by . We will definitely return !! Well done to everyone ! Just one recommendation would be to have filtered water stations so guest can fill water bottles .

We spent two nights at the Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort in October. The views of the ocean from our balcony, as well as the restaurant, sky bar, pool, and common areas were spectacular. We could have spent the whole time on our balcony just staring out at the water. But there was so much to do--the location is perfect, right on the Seven Hanging Valleys trail, we were able to take a long hike along the water, enjoying more awesome views. We also did a kayak tour of the caves and algars, meeting our tour guide on a beach a few miles from the hotel. The center of Carvoiero is just a short walk from the hotel and has a beach, shops and restaurants. The hotel breakfast had lots of options including an omelette bar, fresh squeezed juice and very tasty, the service was excellent and we were able to sit out on the porch and enjoy the views. The staff also helped arrange transportation for us to a local vineyard for a wine tasting event. Highly recommend Tivoli Resort!

There is no beach. You walk out of the hotel turning right and you will find a beach 500m away. You walk out left and find the cliff boardwalk and you will find a beach in Carvoeiro.
There was beach access down by the cave but I assume people kept getting trapped there in the tide so it is closed off. Rightly so as most people would be trapped, injured or killed there.
There are more places to choose from in the Carvoeiro area.
