"We had an unforgettable stay at Tivoli Resort, thanks to the incredible customer service. I especially want to thank Mariana and Luminita at the guest service desk.
During our stay, I had a sudden health issue that required an emergency visit. Since we don’t speak Portuguese, Luminita immediately called multiple hospitals on my behalf, spending over an hour until she found a private hospital in Faro that could see me. She even lent me her personal phone so I could reach my insurance company in Canada.
The next day, when I needed a follow-up appointment, Mariana kindly helped me again by contacting the insurance company to make sure everything was approved. Later, when we checked out, we realized there was a mistake on our flight ticket. Mariana patiently contacted the airline and airport until the issue was solved.
The service here was beyond exceptional—every staff member we met was professional, patient, and truly guest-oriented. The resort itself is stunning, with the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen at a hotel. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with high-quality food and even champagne to enjoy.
We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!"
"Very clean, housekeeping is good. Some of the in room fixtures could be updated or replaced (leaky dishwasher, old caulking). Our first room had a bunch of wall damage from a leak so we had to request a room change and they were quick to facilitate it. Good service."
"Stunning Property. Will definitely return. Breakfast amazing, everything was superb. I can’t get over my vacation thinking of how much I enjoyed my stay. Until next time! ❤️❤️"
"It is right next to the beach and all the popular attractions. Great room with plenty of space. Surprisingly there are no outlets in the bathroom. Had to plug my toothbrush in the outlet near the bed???

"I stayed here before it is a nice facility but is in the middle of the highway kind of far from everything although there are plenty of transport options i think their biggest asset is the shuttle from the airport. There was no upgrade and i know they were not busy."
"Wonderful stay at the Belmar. Property is beautiful and well maintained. Our apartment in the main building was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the adults only pool. Great kitchen equipped with everything you need. Nice bathroom and wonderful king-size bed. Buffet breakfast included with the room was wonderful, best that we had on our trip. Would definitely stay again…"
