Frommer's Review

A 20th-century castle of Moorish and Portuguese design, Tivoli Lagos lies within its own ramparts and moats -- okay, a swimming pool and a paddling pool. It's at the eastern side of the old town, far removed from the beach. This first-class hotel spreads over 1.2 hilltop hectares (3 acres) overlooking Lagos; no matter which room you're assigned, you'll have a view, even if it's of a sun-trap courtyard with semitropical greenery. The main room has a hacienda atmosphere, with white-plaster walls enlivened by sunny colors. The surrounding area is rather unappetizing.

Some of the midsize guest rooms have ground-level patios, but most are on the upper six floors and have a 1960s feel. All units are equipped with well-maintained bathrooms containing tub/shower combinations. Many rooms open onto a wedge-shape balcony where you can eat breakfast. A 31-room wing, complete with pool and health club, was added in 1989. The hotel owns the Duna Beach Club on Meia Praia beach, which has a saltwater pool, a restaurant, and three tennis courts; guests have free membership during their stay. A private motorcoach makes regular trips to the beach club, 5 minutes from the hotel. Arrangements can be made for golf at the nearby Palmares course (where guests get a 10%-20% discount on greens fees), skin diving and sport fishing in the waters along the coast, horseback riding, and sailing in the bay.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; 3 pools (1 heated indoor); 3 tennis courts; health club; game room; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; 1 room for those w/limited mobility
