- NH Lagos Algarve Resort

Set in the heart of the Algarve’s vibrant town of Lagos, Tivoli Lagos is a charming resort-style hotel offering a blend of Portuguese character and comfort. Designed like a traditional Algarve village, its whitewashed buildings and cobbled paths create a relaxed holiday atmosphere. The hotel is just a short stroll from Lagos’ historic centre, where guests can explore shops, cafés, and local landmarks, while the golden sands of Meia Praia beach are easily reached via a complimentary shuttle service in the summer months.
Tivoli Lagos offers a variety of facilities, including an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and a terrace, as well as a seasonal indoor pool and a wellness centre with massage services,sauna, and a fitness room. Guests can enjoy a range of dining options, from relaxed poolside snacks to regional Portuguese cuisine.
Guestrooms are decorated in a classic style, each with air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. Upgraded rooms and suites offer extra space and enhanced comfort, some with views across the gardens or pool area.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Don’t Let the Negative Reviews Put You Off
We have just returned from another wonderful stay and felt compelled to leave a review because some of the recent negative comments genuinely don’t reflect the experience we had. It sometimes feels as though people are looking for faults rather than enjoying their holiday. No hotel is perfect, but the level of criticism in some reviews seems completely disproportionate to what is actually on offer here.
From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every member of staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the level of service throughout the hotel was fantastic. The bar staff, pool staff and housekeeping team were particularly outstanding and are a real credit to the hotel.
Our room was modern, comfortable and cleaned to a very high standard every day. The Wi-Fi was excellent throughout our stay, and we loved the fresh beach towels provided daily – a small touch that made a big difference.
One criticism I have seen mentioned is the pool area. While it may look a little dated in places and could perhaps benefit from refurbishment in the future, it’s understandable that major works can’t be carried out during the busy summer season. More importantly, the pool area was clean, well maintained and we never had any difficulty finding a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
The food was another highlight. Breakfast offered a great selection, was always well stocked and served by attentive staff. The pool bar snacks were excellent – genuinely one of the best burgers we have ever had on holiday! My personal favourite was the strawberry daiquiri, which was absolutely delicious.
The hotel strikes the perfect balance between being peaceful and relaxing while still being within easy reach of everything Lagos has to offer. It’s close enough to enjoy the town, restaurants and marina, yet quiet enough to truly unwind.
This was not our first stay here, and it certainly won’t be our last. We had a fantastic holiday and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxing and well-run base in Lagos. If you’re reading reviews before booking, I’d encourage you to take some of the harsher comments with a pinch of salt and judge the hotel for yourself.
After reading some reviews I was bit apprehensive about the NH Hotel in Lagos. The hotel was booked with Jet 2 and was based on a standard room, some of the reviews were very negative on the condition of the rooms and that there were a lot of steps to reach the rooms, I contacted the hotel via email about my concerns and also that my wife had some mobility issues, they recommended booking a superior room as they were close to the reception area, restaurant, bar and pool. There were 2 types of superior rooms , a modern at an extra €12 per night and a modern with garden view at €20 per night. I booked the modern room at €12 per night / €84 per week as we wanted to be close to all the amenities, upon arrival we were upgraded to the superior garden view room . Our porter took our bags and brought us to the room however the door was open because there seemed to be an issue with the lock also the fan in the shower was on and it was quiet noisy, the porter brought us back to reception and after a few minutes the manager came over to us apologising for the inconvenience and gave us a new superior garden view room which was excellent. Later on that evening a letter was left under the door apologising once again and gave a voucher for 2 drinks at the bar. I was highly impressed with the customer service and so far we are really enjoying our stay and we still have 4 days to left on our holiday. John & Ann McK.
Lovely to see some upgrades taking place at the hotel - it’s a fabulous location and lovely staff. Love the environmental policy as well with rewards to match
Hotel was well taken care of! You could tell it was a bit older but our room was recently renovated. AC was amazing. The outdoor pool is great with decent poolside service. Good value on the on the room, which was also very clean. Overall atmosphere is great, almost Mediterranean and location is superb, close to old town but quiet in the evenings, reasonable noise levels. Indoor pool atmosphere was not great, it felt like the backrooms.
We absolutely loved our stay at NH Lagos and felt so well looked after from the moment we arrived until we left.
The location is absolutely perfect – it’s within walking distance of everything, making it so easy to explore Lagos.
The breakfast was fantastic with so many options every morning, and the dinner was equally amazing. We especially recommend the Italian restaurant in the hotel. With three different restaurants to choose from, there was something for everyone.
The pool area was beautiful and never felt overcrowded, which made it a lovely place to relax.
The staff were beyond amazing. Every single member of the team was friendly and welcoming. I didn’t get the name of the lady working at the downstairs bar, but she was so lovely and a pleasure to deal with throughout our stay.
A special thank you to Pedro, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. It was my partner’s birthday, and before we arrived Pedro helped me arrange a lovely surprise in our room. Then, on the actual birthday, we returned to find a beautiful handwritten birthday letter from Pedro along with drink vouchers to celebrate. It may seem like a small gesture, but it genuinely elevated our entire experience. That level of thoughtfulness and care is what separates this hotel from so many others. Pedro is a real credit to NH Lagos and truly understands what exceptional customer service looks like.
Our room was amazing – spotless, incredibly comfortable, with a beautiful view and a bed that gave us a great night’s sleep every night.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to come back. We would highly recommend NH Lagos to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so special!
