The 196-unit Tivoli Marina Portimao is a three-pearl apartment-style property located on the marina in Portimao, a five-minute walk from the beach. The adjacent sandy beach is lovely, and numerous restaurants, bars, and shops also are within walking distance. All rooms have kitchenettes and balconies or terraces, some with lovely marina views, though the style is dated in most rooms and Wi-Fi isn't free in rooms. The restaurant and bar get good reviews both for food and the river vistas. Three outdoor pools include a huge main pool, as well as a kids' pool and smaller, quieter pool. There's a fitness center for grown ups, and a playground for kids. As an alternative, the Prainha Clube, has similar features and lower rates, but fees are charged for many services.
