This resort is so nice! I was a little concerned originally when booking because some recent negative reviews, but we had the best time! It deserves a lot more than the current 4.0 rating.
Yes while the hotel is showing its age a little, it feels super cosy and the rooms were lovely and clean. The outdoor pool area is gorgeous and the poolside bar has a great cocktail selection and good prices. All the staff were helpful, welcoming and friendly.
The breakfast offering was amazing! So many choices and everything was delicious.
There is a massive free car park and a paid underground car park within a short walk.
Overall 10/10, can’t wait to come back and visit again. Thank you 🙏

Jet 2 holiday.
My first visit, but friends had stayed before, so I wasn't put off by the negative reviews.
We had a standard excell room on the fourth floor ( maybe because my friend had stayed before and had another booking) with a view over the rooftops towards the marina.
The room was fine. Clean, serviced daily, nice bathroom with bath, air conditioning, complimentary water, mini bar, good wardrobe space and a private balcony.
Superior rooms have hot drink facilities.
Breakfast was excellent, although the hot food could be hotter. Bucks fizz was a nice touch.
Good pool, which was very chilly, and sunbathing area, towels provided.
Staff were all friendly and helpful.
We were delighted that on our last day with a 7.30 am pick up, we were able to have some breakfast at 7am.
I can understand why rooms at the front of the hotel could be noisy , as the hotel attracts groups of golfers.
The hotel is also popular with Americans, who can be noisy.
A very nice 5 night stay and I'd definitely go again.
I almost forgot, the location is ideal, close to the marina, bars and restaurants and a short walk to the old town

I've spent many wonderful weeks at the Tivoli and look forward to returning soon.
PROS: Staff - the reason guests return year after year. The entire staff (reception, food service, housekeeping, bartenders) are polite, helpful and friendly. They treat you like family.
Hotel: While aged and in need of upgrades, the classic Moorish design features are a delight to be treasured.
Bar: Perhaps the best in Lagos. Experienced bartenders and extensive drink selections (my favorite place :)
Room & Bed: My room is comfortable, has a great view and a shower to die for.
Value: The favorable room rates (at least in the off season) overshadow minor maintenance issues.
CONS: Food - the breakfast buffet has ample options to satisfy any tastes but the quality is lacking. I can't recommend the dinner buffet or Italian restaurant.
Maintenance: Could be improved but not a major downside.
Misc: A personal issue for me is the repetitive loop of holiday music in the bar can be irritating. Also, the TV is ancient technology that needs to be replaced.
The Tivoli Lagos is a great place to stay while visiting the Algarve and you'll be very happy with the choice.

Booked with Tivoli through their own website and the prices were very reasonable. Went there with a friend for a 6 day stay and we enjoyed our stay with the resort very much!
Upon arrival we got checked in very smoothly and even got some discount vouchers to use in the restaurant/bar. Very kind! The resort is big and we were guided to our room by a very friendly staff member. There is lots to do in the resort itself, an outside & inside pool, inside and outside bar, pool patio, an inside jacuzzi & even a gym facility.
Note: there is a free parking lot for hotel guests only. It's only upon availability. They do have a paid parking garage for hotel guests for about 8 euros per vehicle per night.
Did not use the inside facilities much, but it looked really nice!
The breakfast buffet was very diverse! They even have glutenfree options (my friend has a gluten allergy) and it was handled very professionally. Unfortunately there is a problem with seagulls outside, but they were actively working on that problem. Just meant you could not leave your food unattended, or the seagulls would snatch it up.
As for the room itself, it was fine for the nights we stayed, though it could have used some updates. I did miss a couple more electrical plugs, there is a USB A plug, but unfortunately most devices have the USB C plug. We made it work with charging devices but could've been better I suppose. The bathroom door had some wear and tear on it but it was clean! `
We made use of the Portugese restaurant within the hotel and it was mostly a grill kitchen which was so good!!! We loved our experience and it was great food. Also gave us an opportunity to use the vouchers we got during check in and it was well worth the money.
All in all, we had a great stay in the hotel and would recommend others to book a stay here if you want to explore the Algarve coast. Or just stay and chill in Lagos!

The outdoor pool was peaceful, taken over by seagulls in the early early morning but I've seen the hotel bringing in a falconer as a deterrent. Indoor pool is mildly heated. Place is larger than a usual hotel so there's a bit of a walk from entrance to room. This place looks like its glory days were about 20 years ago, bit worn at the exteriors, but still holding up. Good location; good bang for buck.
Breakfast buffet was large, three espresso machines, a honey comb platter to slowly drip honey into a collecting bowl, a gamut of deli meats, cheeses, hot breakfasts, champagne, pastries, everything is offered.
The lounging areas were nice, sports playing as a projection on the far wall, some days there was live music. They have this program where if you deferred cleaning, you get a complimentary drink so that was nice. Would give 4.9/5. Staff were all very friendly.
