I stayed at 'Tipi Algarve' last year in May 2011 with a friend and I can honestly say that I had one of my best holidays there! It's an amazing place where you can totally switch off and relax. The yurts and tipis are spacious and comfortable and the owners and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was so... More

Had an absolutely amazing time visiting here! The service was some of the best I have experienced (and I am quite fussy), and the place is amazing. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful, especially the two owners. Booking the holiday was very easy and the communication before I arrived was brilliant. I truly consider this to be my home... More

We both had a great time at Tipi Algarve last September. My friend and I had never been to Portugal or "glamping" and had a great week relaxing by the pool topping up our tans, and socialising at the bar and chill out lounge with the other glampers. Pizza night was fun making your own pizza and we treated ourselves... More

Much that I love the Algarve, the road works and general driving make me a little nervous. I dodged a stray cat and ended up hapless outside of Restaurante Amigos in Rasmalho on the road up to Monchique, late in the afternoon on a Sunday with two ripped tyres. A tall man with a big smile leaned over the hedge... More

If I can offer one piece of advice to anyone thinking of visiting Tipi Algarve: Stay away! The people who run TA, especially Sam, are rude and more than willing to cancel a reservation or change an agreement to fit their needs. They dont have your best interest in mind and just care there to make a buck. Not worth... More

We stayed in a romantic Tipi for our honeymoon, on a honeymoon package for 5 nights. We were greeted to a bed full of flower petals, a vase of fresh flowers, chocolates and sparkling wine. We had a lovely brekafast brought to our Tipi door every morning. We both enjoyed the complimentary relaxing full body massages. We were taken to... More

The negative review popped up on here just a couple of days before our trip and it got us worried. Should we cancel and stay somewhere else? I am pleased to say we decided to go and check it out for ourselves and we were so pleased we did. Tipi Algarve is a lovely place. The tipis and safari tents... More

I have never reviewed a holiday before but after my stay at Tipi Algarve I feel the hosts Calvin and Nadine wholly deserve my time and effort to write a review. Tipi Algarve, for me, is an original and heartfelt idea of Nadine & Calvin's, which they have successfully sculpted out of their passion and vision to provide guests with... More

We stayed as a family with 2 children aged 3 & 9, in August, at a time which overlaps some of the less positive recent reviews and our experience was very different. We had been on a Tipi Holiday in Cornwall several years ago and can assure everyone that the facilities and the warmth of welcome at Tipi Algarve compares... More
