Tivoli Carvoeiro | Hotel in Vale de Covo, Faro District

“Carviero is a delight and the ocean/cave front location cannot be beat! That being said- we were disappointed in our overall stay given the price and wouldn't consider this a 5 star hotel. The hotel itself is outdated- umbrellas broken, pool/pool deck worn, rooms small with limited technology. The food was quite poor and everything had an extra cost to it. Overall, would consider a drink in the Sky Lounge but would not stay here again,”

“We took a girls trip here for four days. The spa was amazing, the pool had ample space and chairs for everyone. It was great to be able to see the ocean and hear the waves (many hotels along the coastline sit further back eliminating the sights and sounds). Location along the hiking trail was perfect and access to town (easily walkable) was convenient. Now for what wasn’t perfect - the a/c never dropped below 22 during our stay - maintenance came everyday and said it was working fine (after several days of our comments on this topic the hotel was very apologetic for our stresses) . Lighting in the bathroom was very dim, service at the restaurants was lacking (but the actual food was delicious - we had sushi twice and room service - the breakfast buffet was also lovely).”

“This was an amazing resort… Rooms were clean whelm maintained, as well as the rest of the property. Food options at the resort were not five star but very very good. Drinks were on the pricey side, however, you expect that while traveling abroad. Would have been nice to know there was construction going on that limited some of the access around the resort… But it did not affect our stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great vacation in Portugal”

“The property is beautiful overall with gorgeous views and friendly staff! There is construction that ruins the views right now. We booked a deluxe ocean view room and the construction was right in front of us so that was a bit disappointing. But overall things were lovely! The breakfast room is quite hard to get an outside table (which have the nice views!) And if you want to use the sauna you need to pre book.”

“Spectacular view and grounds. Great breakfast and dining area. Lovely pool”

“The most incredible view of anywhere we've ever stayed! Breathtaking! Walkable to many beautiful spots. My only complaint would be the pictures showed a beach down below and there wasn't a beach when we got there”

“Advertised as having a private beach but there is no access to the beach. I thought it was storm damage but I was told there was never a private beach with assess. Otherwise beautiful hotel. And the pool was delightful but no useable beach,”

“Wonderful Breakfast!!”

“The best thing about the hotel was the staff. Also great breakfast and view.”

“I would say this is a 4 star hotel at best. We definitely expected more from this hotel. The issues in isolation aren’t too bad, but combined, it has left us disappointed: * brought to our room 20 minutes after check in because it wasn’t ready. * The shower was clogged. They did address this immediately when we requested maintenance * One of the outlets beside the bed did not work. They addressed this immediately upon us bringing it up. * no fresh water available in our room when we arrived. * Pool deck is not in order - several slats should be replaced & majority of the loungers are sunken in. * Construction at the hotel that we did not know about upon booking. This didn’t impact us but it is worth noting. * Expedia listing is slightly deceiving as it mentions white sand beach. you can’t access this beach from the hotel. * Silly complaint but we are here on our honeymoon and saw other reviews were welcomed with a gift - we did not get this. Again, not huge deals in isolation but combined, this does not define a 5 star hotel. What’s good: * the location - 4.5/5, stunning views. * The breakfast is included - 5/5 - tons of options and open at reasonable times. * one gentleman at the pool - excellent customer service. Upon checkout we expressed our concerns and the response was “how would you like to pay” lol”
