Pousadas de Portugal, Barlavento hotels

"The Epic was just that, Epic. The customer service was great, the room spacious with a large comfy balcony and the meals delicious and varied. The pools were a good temperature and had plenty of chairs around them. The beach is a bit of a walk but very nice to have on property. However, the ocean water was only in the high 60’s in July so it was nice to have the pool options. We had a two bathroom suite which made getting ready for the day quicker. The room had a nice layout. Overall the hotel was quite impressive."

"Enjoyed our stay. Rooms are generous size, clean and the complimentary breakfast was terrific! Our only issue was with the people smoking pot in the rooms around us because the smell in the hallway was overpowering and it wafted into the room when we opened the door. HOWEVER, friends stayed on other floors and did not have that issue at all. I would stay there again."

"Beautiful pool area, amazing buffet breakfast included with good coffee! Walking distance to old town, safe area. Nice balcony facing pool, good towel service. Helpful front desk staff. Very pleasant. Highly recommend. "

"We loved our honeymoon stay at Tivoli! We felt like Mariana at The One restaurant made us feel so special and really went above and beyond to make our meals amazing and personal. Bernardo also gave some great wine suggestions and local vineyards to check out! We will be back! "
