Having been bounced out of the Tivoli Marina hotel for the first night only of a 3 night stay for the 2nd year in a row the experience of staying here was very good. Would recommend this as a couples hotel for short stays and some very nice golf courses on the doorstep!

The space that surrounds the hotel is beautiful and careful, it is a luxury Algarve, but away from the whirlwind of the Marina of Vilamoura, here we can relax and leave the worries behind. But if you want to go to Vilamoura city center you could use a free shuttle. The exclusive service starts on arrival with the valet service that facilitates the storage of cars and quick access to check in. The rooms are luxurious but devoid of excesses, the beds and pillows are divine .... from the window the infinite Algarve and the golf courses, the flowers give the color to the clean environment.
The pool invites us to enter; but only in the waterfall pool we get the tranquility we need after a week of work ... only the sounds of the water, the wind pack us. I'll be back for sure. The only less is that the Spa you have to pay access and not only the treatments. You can see more hotel at @magdabolinhas

Gorgeous Hotel with great pool, spa and very friendly service personal. Rooms are large, modern and have a great bath room. Overall hotel was very clean, however our room service never came automatically, so we had to call the reception. The room service then came very quickly but could have worked a little bit more thouroghly. Food selection in Victoria buffett restaurant was very good and changing every evening. However the food sometimes was not really hot anymore. Bars have a Great drink selection. Depending on the bar keeper the cocktails where either really good or not that good. Overall a very good hotel with gorgeous pools and indoor decorations, extremely friendly staff and good food.

From check-in to check-out, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to the Anantara. The service was excellent (particularly Joanna, the duty manager, who was extremely helpful and went to great lengths to accomodate our 6 month old son). She also wrote us a very nice card before we left which we appreciated. Almost all of the staff were extremely friendly. The facilities were very good and our room - upgraded at no cost to a family suite - was lovely.
The main pool area did get a little busy at times, despite visiting in early October. We just about managed to get a suitable sun-lounger each day, but the adult only pool was very quiet the whole week so anyone without children would probably be fine.
The food options are generally good. We particularly liked Ria's, the seafood restaurant, though would have preferred that this was open in the evening as well as for lunch. The food at Ria's was very good; perhaps slightly on the expensive side but not overpriced and certainly better value for money than most of the restaurants in Vilamoura. We also ate at Emo, which was outstanding and well worth a visit. It is pricey but the food was fantastic and the wine selection very impressive indeed! The food from the pool bar (Palms) was a bit so-so and quite slow at peak times.
Our overall experience was great, though if I could pick any negatives they would be:
- No milk in the room to make tea/coffee
- Shower fixing in bathroom was very loose
- Our doorbell was rung on two occasions despite our "do not disturb" light being on, which was irritiating as it woke our son
- There is only one bar open in the evening, attached to the main lobby. The drinks are good but it can get a bit noisy and isn't particularly intimate nor relaxing as a result
We had a great time and are hoping to return next year.
