Tivoli Carvoeiro
Had a terrific stay in March. A beautiful resort in a nice location. Really enjoyed our time, especially the view, the breakfast buffet, the bar (including the amazing bar staff!), our room, and the overall level of service. Would recommend if you're wanting to stay in this area. Only negative is ...

It was first time to be in Portugal but the experience was unforgettable moments in life . The food was good and the welcoming experience was amazing. Will be back soon with our children and also the area was very quite which will be ideal for taking a break from England.
