Pestana Group in Barranco do Demo Walkways from NZ$176

"We had an unforgettable stay at Tivoli Resort, thanks to the incredible customer service. I especially want to thank Mariana and Luminita at the guest service desk. During our stay, I had a sudden health issue that required an emergency visit. Since we don’t speak Portuguese, Luminita immediately called multiple hospitals on my behalf, spending over an hour until she found a private hospital in Faro that could see me. She even lent me her personal phone so I could reach my insurance company in Canada. The next day, when I needed a follow-up appointment, Mariana kindly helped me again by contacting the insurance company to make sure everything was approved. Later, when we checked out, we realized there was a mistake on our flight ticket. Mariana patiently contacted the airline and airport until the issue was solved. The service here was beyond exceptional—every staff member we met was professional, patient, and truly guest-oriented. The resort itself is stunning, with the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen at a hotel. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with high-quality food and even champagne to enjoy. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!"

"We had a fantastic family holiday here in September 2025. Great location on the edge of Praia da Rocha and a short walk from Praia do Vau. We love the family friendly atmosphere and accommodating nature of Portugal which made our trip with a 9 month old easier than we expected. The hotel is well styled and gives a sense of luxury the moment you step inside. Our room was perfect with plenty of space for a cot bed and playtime. The room was very quiet apart from a little traffic noise which can’t be controlled. Our bathroom had a bath which was ideal for our baby. All parts of the hotel were thoroughly cleaned by the lovely hotel staff. The hotel pool is small but perfectly adequate for a relaxing dip to cool down, and with the beaches close by, it was never too crowded. We had a great time and believe the whole experience was great value! Special thanks to Vivian on front desk for being so lovely with our daughter! Would definitely recommend a stay here and we would certainly go back!"

"We are just back from a stay at this property. Absolutely fabulous. We stay in a one bed suite and it had every kitchen utensil you could imagine as well as a full size fridge and Jo and a combo mircowave , grill and oven. Everything spotless . Situated right on the marina so a few minutes walk to bars and restaurants. There is also a grocery nearby . Pool was busy but no issue with loungers. Very quiet area. Would definetly recommend "

"It is right next to the beach and all the popular attractions. Great room with plenty of space. Surprisingly there are no outlets in the bathroom. Had to plug my toothbrush in the outlet near the bed??? "

"Great location. Clean. Very attentive service. One thing though - be sure to ask to stay in the main tower."

"awesome place amazing service very welcome team special thanks to Irina Yablochnika for very pleasant service Thank you ALL"

"Very convenient"

"Next level accommodations. Free easy parking. Walkable area. Great buffet breakfast was included. Although we didn’t get a chance to use them, there were indoor and outdoor pools."

"This is a beautiful resort. I wish we had more time to spend there. The only downside was getting there because of the narrow roads and even though they tried hard to rectify it, the dinner I ordered was really bland, although the presentation was gorgeous."
