Tivoli Carvoeiro is a three-pearl hotel with a scenic clifftop setting overlooking the ocean. It has direct access to secluded Vale Covo beach, and central Carvoeiro is a five-minute drive. The hotel's superb array of facilities include an ocean-facing outdoor pool with seasonal bar, children's pool, indoor pool and hot tub, sauna, steam room, tennis courts, and Portuguese restaurant. The 293 rooms come with minibars, air-conditioning, and TVs, and many have balconies with great ocean views. Unfortunately there's a fee for Wi-Fi (without Tivoli club membership) and many rooms are dated. Rooms are in better condition at the nearby Pestana Palm Gardens, but the Tivoli is closer to the beach and has more facilities.

The Hotel Baia Cristal is a three-pearl family-friendly cliffside hotel overlooking Vale de Centianes Beach. The ocean views from the property are great, and there's direct beach access from the hotel. The 121 rooms have balconies or patios, but they're plain and slim on amenities. Additionally, not all have sea views. There's a kids' club and an indoor game room, but for a hotel that caters to families, the children's pool is comically small and the indoor pool isn't much bigger. Despite being close to Carvoeiro, there's little within walking distance, though there is a free shuttle into town. Compare with the Pestana Palm Gardens right next door, which has similar amenities with the addition of colorful private villas.
