Staff in buffet wonderful When enjoying adult only pool, a lot of walking to the bar that offers varuety of drinks... beer, wine & water only located at adult pool...i think this needs some thought. Lots of families and children at this resort. 10 min walk to beach.

Nice for children

Kids pool was nice but needs tidying on the edges. Crazy golf was a hit and a nice play area. Kids disco was well received. I didn’t rate the evening entertainment, one night everyone thought it was a joke. We liked the daily outdoor bbq. Lovely beach and a quality land train to the town. Staff couldn’t be nicer.

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. Like the free drinks and lots of areas to get them throughout the property.

It was an amazing experience for me and the kids. From the warm welcome to the luxurious rooms, every detail was perfect. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the views were stunning. The dining options were outstanding—each meal was delicious and beautifully presented. The facilities, including the spa and pool, provided the perfect space to relax, while the fitness center was well-equipped. Above all, the staff’s friendly, attentive service truly made my stay unforgettable. I highly recommend Tivoli for anyone seeking a luxurious getaway!

I wouldn’t suggest staying at this resort if your black skinned individual, I waited hours to be checked in watched others come after me and was checked in immediately to and not even a welcoming smile or welcome until I said something about my experience. It’s like my money wasn’t welcomed Overall it’s clean and the food was good, I would never stay here again though. Sad enough I travel all around the world and think my first experience at a 5 star resort .

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!
