We recently stayed at Tivoli Vilamoura Marina and had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely amazing so warm, friendly and genuinely accommodating. What stood out most was how incredible they were with children. They went above and beyond, particularly at meal times, to make sure our children were happy and had everything they needed. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and that level of care really made our stay special. The cleaning staff were also excellent. Our room was spotless every day and the hotel overall was beautifully maintained. Even in February, when the pool was a little cold, it didn’t stop our children enjoying themselves and the pool area itself was lovely and well kept. The food was another highlight. We had a some of our meals at Pepper’s and it was absolutely delicious. Breakfast each morning offered a great variety, with something for everyone, and it was lovely having a chef preparing fresh omelettes daily. The staff at breakfast were always wonderful. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel with exceptional staff who truly make the experience. We would highly recommend and we look forward to returning.
