With its brilliant, sparkling sunshine; beautifully rugged coast; postcard-perfect sandy beaches; and a cuisine that has retained it provenance and quality, its little wonder that Portugal?s southern Atlantic coast is such a popular holiday destination.

Quality in Algarve hospitality continues to shift up a gear, and for discerning couples and families there?s a new 5-star resort that?s attracting a new generation of travellers to these shores, the Tivoli Carvoeiro Algarve Resort, writes Andrew Forbes.

This upscale family-friendly resort has been totally reimagined for 2018,  with a sparkling new signature Tivoli Spa; a cool Sky Bar with views out across the coast and the Atlantic; family and adult pools; an indoor pool and kids club; 248 new guest rooms, including stunning Junior Suites and Deluxe Sea View rooms, perfect for couples looking for a high quality experience; and large interconnecting family rooms with sofa-beds for added flexibility for multi-generational holidays.
The food and beverage have been completely realigned with a diverse choice of bars and restaurants, with a distinct focus on local produce and Algarve wines.

The Algarve is a personal favourite, but this was the first time I have stayed in a large, family resort ? and I was very impressed! Tivoli have done a superb job upgrading this property, keeping its family-friendly, relaxed Portuguese style, but bringing the facilities and service offerings up to genuine 5-star levels.
