The lobby has a grand feel to it and very clean. The big let down is the rooms and we moved rooms. The rooms are very tired. The toilet smells of urine though it was being cleaned every day. Patches of paint on walls where they try to cover up scruff marks and stains. Very tired looking furniture and broken cupboards. Some lights don’t work as they should be. Mattress is very hard and pillows are too soft but you can request a firmer pillow at reception. Breakfast is ok but it becomes boring if staying for a week as the selections stayed the same. Avoid scrambled eggs, I believe they are made from powdered eggs and they don’t taste good. Location is ok if you just want to stay close to the hotel and Marina but if you want to venture out be prepared to walk. We are here in January 2026 and weather is not too bad. The gardens and the pool area look lovely however the biggest disappointment is the rooms especially in the winter months where guests like us would enjoy just sitting out on the balcony and when it’s raining like today, it would have been delightful if we had a comfortable and cozy room. Unfortunately we had to keep the balcony door ajar all day and night to reduce the urine smell in our room. Today is our last but one day before we leave and we both couldn’t wait to go. I’m sorry to say that the state of the bedrooms did not reflect the high standards they portray on photos on their website.

Outstanding hotel, with exceptional Marina location and views. Excellent staff throughout location, grounds are beautiful and no matter which way you are facing you won't be disappointed with your view.
Room amazing, large in proportion and a pillow menu. Spotless facilities.
We enjoyed the Spa on our first day.
Staff friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by concierge and our bags collected and hire car parked for us, we felt relaxed immediately and first impressions 10/10. Parking is free as a courtesy for hotel guests.
Breakfast is stunning, with a separate food station for dairy and wheat intolerance. All food and stations clear and well labelled for navigation on dietary requirements. We were accommodated with a breakfast box on the morning of our departure so as not to miss out, nothing too much trouble.
The cocktail bar has a great menu, is beautiful, friendly and inviting, we loved it to begin our evening. Again staff amazing.
This is 3 of 4 Tivoli hotels we have now tried along the Algarve and not disappointed, an exceptional location and hotel is superb, something for everyone, even the lobby lounge is a welcome and beautiful relaxing feature of the hotel with great atmosphere and catering options which include complimentary snacks and flavoured water stations.
We also noticed plenty going on for children too. Craft making and a space especially for children.
The pool and grounds are beautiful and well kept with a gate to the beach, we look forward to returning in the warmer weather so we can immerse ourselves for much longer in this fantastic establishment, so much to offer and we only experienced a few nights of this fabulous hotel.
Looking forward to the beach club experience and all its delights next time.

Tivoli Marina Vilamoura
Tivoli Marina Vilamoura feels easy on the body straight away, mostly because of where it sits. The sea is right there, there’s space and light, and nothing feels closed in. You calm down without trying.
The hotel itself doesn’t fight that. The main spaces are open, simple and easy to move through. You’re not being pushed from one area to the next or hit with lots of visual noise. The finishes are fairly restrained, which helps. The view does most of the work.
Sustainability isn’t made into a big performance, which I liked. It feels more built into how the hotel runs than something you’re meant to notice constantly.
It’s a big hotel, but it doesn’t feel sharp or hectic. There’s room to pause, especially outside, and that makes a difference. With a few thoughtful changes it could be even more restorative, but as it is, it already understands something important: when a place works with its setting, your body relaxes before your head does.

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. The food was delicious and bar service great. Very comfortable rooms although there needs to be two comfortable chairs in each room. The one chair with wooden arms although stylish not very comfortable.

Every detail at Tivoli feels intentional, from the elegant design and pristine rooms to the warm attentive service that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Dining was equally impressive with thoughtfully curated menus and impeccable presentation. Whether enjoying the amenities, the ambiance or simply the peaceful atmosphere, every moment felt elevated.
This hotel sets the standard for luxury and hospitality. Highly recommend to anyone seeking an unforgettable stay.
