The hotel was significantly nicer than I expected based on the reviews. It was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The only qualm was the old wooden boards around the pool that were a tripping hazard. There are also a lot of stairs all around the property, if you need ADA accessibility definitely mention that when you book because not all of the areas are accessible due to stairs. They are super strict on the 3pm check-in. The breakfast buffet was solid but nothing special.

I must admit I was apprehensive about staying in this particular Tivoli hotel due to some poor reviews, however my husband and I had a very nice relaxing stay.
It’s a unique hotel with lots of different blocks and rooms which were apparently added over the years so yes some areas need some maintenance.
We were lucky to have an upgrade to a deluxe room which was two rooms one a bedroom and the other with a sofa bed. The rooms were modern and clean and had plenty of storage space, more than most hotels I’ve stayed at. Large bathroom with a very good shower although it could be improved with more shelf storage for toiletries. The balcony had seen better days with some cracked tiles but it was too cold and windy to sit out ( mid February)
We really like the restaurant for the breakfast buffet which wonderful and we also ate one night in the hotel restaurant which was very nice, good food and wine and not too expensive.
We enjoyed drinks in the relaxing bar area and took advantage of the free drinks voucher, beer or house wine or soft drink if you decline room service that day.
One of the best features of the Tivoli Lagos hotel is its location in the centre of the town. Lots of bars and restaurants in walking distance and a short walk to the marina and bars and restaurants there.
All the staff were friendly and helpful and I would happily stay there again.

This is an old hotel that could do with some TLC. The rooms can be on the small side, but be aware that this place is a rabbit warren and you need to be taken to your room aftwr check in otherwise you will waste time finding it! The reason for this is its built into a hillside, it was a good 5 minutes from out room to reception via a lift and a long, long corridor. Room.was adequate with a small balcony and a noisyish aircon unit.
The staff were great, the breakfast was sumptious, best go before 0800 to beat the golf crowd.
There is a bar on the first floor with a large projection screen for watching sports, it is well used of an evening. There is a resturaunt in the hotel but given the numeous eateries nearby we didn't use it. There is an Irish pub and an Indian resturaunt within walking distance if needs must.
Local cuisine abounds however and when in Portugal...
I was there in November and it was wet, there were no additional drying facilites offered for walkers or Golfers, an opportunity missed for the Hotel I think, just their regular laundry service for clothes and nothing for walking boots or shoes.
There is a resort of sorts there with a pool and sun loungers. I would go back again but not in High season.

Perfect location within minutes walk to the old town and marina.
The free outdoor car park is ideal for those driving.
The staff were fantastic in every part of the hotel making you feel very welcome.
We really enjoyed the hotel but heard others say it wasn’t as good as it used to be.
The breakfast buffet was great, drinks prices were a little steep but there are bars/restaurants just right outside the hotel.
We asked for a quiet room away from an elevator, we didn’t quite expect a 5 minute walk up and down several stairs and through two other buildings. It was quiet but difficult to remember the way to and from if you forgot something.

This resort is so nice! I was a little concerned originally when booking because some recent negative reviews, but we had the best time! It deserves a lot more than the current 4.0 rating.
Yes while the hotel is showing its age a little, it feels super cosy and the rooms were lovely and clean. The outdoor pool area is gorgeous and the poolside bar has a great cocktail selection and good prices. All the staff were helpful, welcoming and friendly.
The breakfast offering was amazing! So many choices and everything was delicious.
There is a massive free car park and a paid underground car park within a short walk.
Overall 10/10, can’t wait to come back and visit again. Thank you 🙏
