Tivoli Alvor Algarve All Inclusive Resort

2026-04-11

On the plus side, the hotel does have the potential to be really nice, the rooms are a little dark but nice overall and the food is in the main quite good, in addition Alvor itself is lovely. However it's two areas that completely let it down. Firstly, there is an odd approach to guest relations, it is pretty much non existent. I am not sure if this is a training issue or if the staff are just a bit worn down with people complaining, but at best they were disinterested in solving any issues. This didn't apply to all the staff by any means but probably the majority and certainly those areas you would expect to be very customer focussed such as guest relations and front desk. The second issue was just the basics - lack of cups/glasses, cutlery during meals, no towels at the pool (and sometimes in the room), room not being set up correctly etc. In addition we found it very difficult to book the a la carte restaurants at a sensible time (as did others when we were there) and there is no area as such to have drinks - there are a couple of space that serve drinks in plastic glasses or a really weird marque outside the front of the hotel next to a dual carriageway. If you can get a good deal on this hotel and use it as a base, I would recommend, but don't pay top end expecting a five star experience as you will be very disappointed.

5 days with the family at the end of October. Good bedding, spacious and well-equipped room (Nespresso). Varied and high-quality buffets. Wine more than decent for an all-inclusive package (a nice little red from the Douro :-) ). Large pool, a bit cold but it is the end of the season. Free shuttle to the center of Alvor.
