This is a lovely property with an amazing staff! They are very receptive of your needs, even giving rides from the parking lot very late in the evening back to your hotel room. The rooms are very pretty and clean. If you are looking for an all inclusive that is definitely worth it, this is the place!

Great location with a beautiful beach just an 800-meter walk away. The food was excellent, especially the buffet, which had a great selection of seafood. The shuttle drivers were wonderful—very friendly, helpful, and enjoyable to chat with. The bar staff were also welcoming and provided excellent service. The only downside was my experience with one of the reception staff at the parking area, which I brought to the attention of the general manager. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable stay as well no washrooms in the lobby or bar areas only at the restaurants

Incredible resort. Plenty of pool space and deckchairs. We had used the wellness centre for the gym, jacuzzi and indoor pool which were all clean. The staff went above and beyond for us at every point of enquiry- they are truly a credit to Tivoli and our time would not have been half as good without their politeness and helpfulness. Ample food provided at mealtimes with lots of options for vegetarians. We felt so relaxed here.

We also enjoyed access to two beaches: one is a 10 minute walk across the bridge, and the other is accessible by hotel \"train.\" There are two bars that make alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Our room was huge and was cleaned everyday.

While the resort does cater for many people, the food was really not good, always cold. We’ve stayed at many fully catered resorts where the food was good.

While it has 3 family pools - they are on top of each other and the loungers are packed in. Making it incredibly uncomfortable and unpleasant.

Just Ok!!

Far too long to wait for check in. We then had to wait again for far too long once the room was ready. Lots of ants in one of our rooms.

Far too long to queue for drinks in the Shore bar. Not enough seating in the entertainment area for the amount of guests. Entertainment started too late - 21:30 is far too late for younger guests.

During my stay, I had a great time. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t have much food options during lunch only a barbecue and some snacks. I also didn’t like the difficulty of getting on and off the resort after 12 o’clock the parking was difficult as there is a Remote parking lot and sometimes the gate to enter and exit is locked. There was also this weird brown substance on the bathroom floor floors even after the cleaners would come once the floor got wet. This brown substance would come up from in between the tiles of the bathroom floor.

Besides those issues, the staff was very nice and the hotel was clean. The drinks at the bar were really good and when we did get food outside of the barbecue lunch at the Italian restaurant, I enjoyed the food. I also like the fact that there were multiple pools and one was strictly for adults. The rooms were also nice and tidy and housekeeping was the best.

Food is not the strong suit of this hotel. I understand that being an all inclusive hotel the gastronomic proposal is not gourmet but it could be a little better. The only dish that I loved was the Moqueca. The facilities and the service kind of make up for it though. I found some bugs in my room so that is something that could improve. The kids club is nice for parents, and for children as well.

I'll try to make this review as expansive and helpful, for anyone looking to visit, as i can.

We are a family of 6. 4 children aged 10, 9, 6 and 4. We visited in May 2025

So here goes: We visited Tivoli Alvor in May 2025 as a family of six, as mentioned above, and overall, we had a really lovely time. In fact, we’ve already booked our next stay! That said, there are a few areas the resort could definitely improve.

We booked a suite with connecting rooms, and it was a lovely, big, modern suite. It was just what we needed as many other resorts only offered two separate rooms and we wouldn't want to be split up as a family on holiday.

Room service did a good job cleaning up, however, it turns out they don't replace the milk with the \"complimentary teas and coffees\" in the rooms and would only do this with a charge. In fact, when we rang up for some milk, reception said that it would be 45 Euros! Bear in mind, we had the Premium All-Inclusive package.

Many positives overall, but I must say the Premium All-Inclusive package needs rethinking. As it stands, I'm not sure what it really offers and when we next book, we wont be booking the Premium All-Inclusive Package.

Overall, we enjoyed our time there and will be returning.

Beautiful hotel and setting, but service needs imp

The Tivoli Alvor is in a fantastic location, close to the beach and local amenities. The hotel itself looks quite new, and everything is nicely finished and well-maintained. The pools are beautiful, and overall the grounds are very attractive.

However, service was definitely a weak point. While a few staff members went above and beyond, the majority seemed disinterested and often lacked clear information. Check-in was chaotic (albeit understandably busy), but parking management was a real mess. After checking in, we tried to reserve spots at the specialty restaurants and spa, but nothing was available for our entire two-night stay, which was disappointing.

Food quality was okay — not bad, but not standout either. The buffet offered some variety, but again, nothing particularly memorable. Drinks were what you’d typically expect at an all-inclusive: made to the cheapest acceptable standard, with a clear push to encourage upgrading to the premium drinks package.

We mostly stayed around the adult pool, which was lovely, but the drinks offering there was very limited. There wasn’t a full bar nearby, meaning you had to walk quite a bit to get cocktails, which was a shame.

In short, it’s a beautifully located and designed resort with great potential, but they really need to improve the service experience to match the setting.

Nice holiday for families, but a couple can also enjoy it. Food was decent. Buffet was ok and varied options, but the restaurants were definitely better.
One of the restaurants wasn't open during our trip which was disappointing. There were some even shows but unfortunately didn't catch any.

Overall we had a great stay. The food and drink options were wonderful and up there with the best All Inclusive options we've had. A few things missing - margaritas missing from the cocktail menu and maple syrup for waffles/pancakes seem like obvious additions but that is nit-picking as options were plentiful and tasty and cocktails great quality.

Staff overall were great; friendly and helpful. Special thank you to Carlos, who was the most wonderful masseuse and offered tips on stretches to ease issues I was having - very impressed and the massage was heavenly. The bar staff overall were great and attention was paid to all the drinks made with the right garnishes etc even when they were rushed off their feet during busy periods.

The only niggle was the main buffet restaurant where it seemed hit and miss whether you got staff who were on it or not. Some days, we had zero complaints, they were efficient, friendly and helpful, other times, they were nowhere to be seen or slow even when the restaurant wasn't as busy.

The Italian and Steak restaurants though are a credit to the hotel and we had no issues getting booked in, though we are just a couple, so admittedly this would be easier. The staff, food and drinks were all top-notch!

The rooms were fab, the rainfall shower especially was heaven! We lucked out and got a great sunset view too so could sit and watch it go down with a cocktail on our balcony.

Overall, a fantastic stay - highly recommend!

Clean hotel with reasonable food in the main restaurant (overwhelmed staff though as so busy at peak times - difficult to get a drink). Steak restaurant was good.

But I could not recommend this hotel because it’s so noisy. All 3 family pools are next to each other with music played loudly from 10-5 including pretty awful VERY loud house music played by the in-house DJ between 3-5pm every day. About 4 people vibing, and everyone else ignoring it - really bizarre. As a family there isn’t anyway to go to get away from it. In contrast the adults only pool was peaceful- but a no go with under 18s.

Not for couples

Chose this hotel as it looked beautiful in photos and was dog friendly. Dog friendliness was a plus (understandably can’t have dogs in restaurants or at pools but there was a grassy area you could lounge with pets in). The rooms are also new and nicely appointed. But the positives end there. The hotel is 95% large families. Everything is geared for families and kids. Even the main bar is where all the children’s entertainment (loud shows and kids music) is until late at night. No option for dining for adults only. Restaurants can only be booked strictly on site 10a-5pm. If you check in after 5 pm good luck to you, you’re stuck with the buffet. Unfortunately, both buffet and restaurants are average at best. Cold, greasy, not enough choices, sad salad bar. You get the picture. Restaurants not really better. Pizza at the Italian place was edible. Swordfish came to the table raw and had to be sent back. Terribly slow service (yes even by local standards) and kitchen staff screaming and arguing through the whole service to the point servers were apologizing to guests. Quality of wine and drinks was awful. This hotel ticks all the boxes on paper and might work for you if you’re a family and not fussed about food. But not appropriate for couples or groups of adults and not a food destination.

The family and I had a great experience whilst staying here, staff were attentive, food was good (a bit more Portuguese authenticity would have been great) and our room ws comfortable.

Only one small lapse leads to a 4 star rating, where kids club one day switched to an alternate format requiring parents to stay on a day where the wife and I had booked massages at the spa - so only one of us ended up going. No communication went out regarding the change, but understand that sometimes things happen.

Still didnt take the shine off of what was a great / relaxing holiday.

Great option for kids holiday!

Just came back from a stay at Tivoli.

A few pros:
- Facilities are great for kids, with swimming pool, splash pad and kids club. Kids club also has day long snacks for pickier eaters so you don't worry if they skipped a meal at the main restaurants
- Little train takes you to beach in 5min, and you can easily get taxis to ones further away
- Entertainers at kids club are amazing and keep kids really engaged
- Food options as there are 4 different restaurants and snack bars with food all day long

Cons:
- Reception staff really lets down as they could be quite unreliable - in more than one occasion we asked them to pre book taxis only to show up and taxis had not been booked (including to airport!). We also had to lug our luggage and kids down the hill (our room was right at the top of the property) as we asked them for help and no one ever showed up.
- Our room phone didn't work during the whole stay despite them saying they'd get it fixed - it meant we had to walk to reception every time we needed something
- Room/cleaning staff could be more attentive too - often would not clean out rubbish/dirty glasses from room, and we kept having to ask to have water bottles replenished

This is a great stay for kids - our kids made long lasting memories! But it's let down by the general attentiveness and reliability of the front of house staff. Entertainers were a highlight, as was service at restaurants.

If you demand customers to check out by 12.00 PM, you should provide your guests with their rooms after 3.00 PM as it states on all hotel documentation.

Food in the main restaurant was absolutely blend.
