Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort

Laetitia Webb

Exceptional experience, I highly recommend. We stayed September 25-26 2025. I would highly recommend upgrading to the sea view as you get sunshine from morning to sunset, though the marina views are beautiful too (there are no bad views here). We stayed for our 14th Wedding Anniversary, our first holiday together was in Villamoura 20 years ago so it holds fond memories. We were greeted by the wonderful Maria on reception who kindly gave us an earlier check in, she was so welcoming it made us feel at home from the minute we arrived, and was so thoughtful in asking about our stay when we were leaving too. The staff here are a highlight, polite, helpful, kind, thoughtful- there are lots of great views in the world but a talented and knowledgeable team is just as key to make your stay memorable. Particular thanks also to the manager of Peppers who ensured my gluten free dinner was to an excellent standard and who looked after us all evening - we appreciated everything you did. Thank you for making our evening special. I can’t fault this hotel and would both recommend and return. We’ve already been looking at flights later in the year to return as they have a heated indoor pool too. My photos don’t do it justice, but it took our breath away. The extensive gardens are beautifully maintained, there’s direct access to the beach, the lagoon pool is vast and breakfast is both delicious and extensive. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary one we will always remember, we shall definitely be back. I can’t thank you enough for your warm welcome throughout our stay.

Sept 2025. Stayed 5 nights B&B. Very well appointed room and spotlessly clean. Terrific view over the marina. The selection available for breakfast was second to none. Beautiful pool and gardens with direct access to the beach.

The hotel is very large and very nice. We were on the top floor and our balcony had fabulous views. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained and there is an exit onto the beach which is very handy. Not the hotels fault by any means, but Vilamoura feels like a British colony, it was really difficult to find any Portuguese culture in the area around the harbor.

5* Luxury equals …. No welcome drink Zero information about hotel or resort on check in..ie restaurants. Spa, pool, hairdressers. No opening, closing times or locations provided , not even directions to our room offered. Given a double room when a twin was booked so back to reception to sort out. Room was lovely, very clean, lovely view over the marina. Had tea/coffee facilities provided, but only free if you had two… anything beyond that you paid. Mini bar was well stocked but big bucks. Room service was outrageously overpriced. Two sandwiches and two vodkas = €75 !!!! Breakfast tea/coffee facilities was served at your table but only if you were lucky enough to catch the servers attention.. Hot food was cold by the time you returned to your table We had the misfortune to encounter the General Manager during our stay…. I work in a high end luxury store and let’s just say ‘people skills ’ is not his forte. On check out they tried to charge us over €300 for trips we didn’t take ! Overall we have stayed in more luxurious hotels than this that offered a lot more. Definitely will never return. The only 5* this hotel offers is to extract as much money from you as possible.

Been a few times before for 3 or 4 days stays and wasn’t great but this time it was much better. Staff on all on point, nice crowd of people. Good breakfast if you want it. Spa great. Glee still wonderful and Puro / Guess is still worth the extra in my opinion unless you have children of course.
