About Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte
On a coconut-palm beach in Bahia near a sea-turtle conservation area, this is Brazil's eco-minded all-inclusive, adventure excursions, big tropical gardens, and proper Brazilian food and cocktails. A different flavor from the Caribbean, with Salvador's culture within reach. Best in Brazil's summer, roughly September through March.

Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte
Things to know
before you go
Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte is a beachfront eco-luxury resort north of Salvador, combining a large tropical estate, warm-water beach, coral reefs, natural pools, family programming, spa, and access to Praia do Forte village.
The resort is family-friendly rather than adults-only, with Caretta Caretta Kids Club and dedicated baby, child, and teen services.
The setting is one of the resort's biggest strengths:the official site describes 12 kilometers of white-sand beaches protected by coral reefs that form natural pools.
The hotel is walkable to Praia do Forte village by beach or road, but it still feels resort-based and spread out.
Food is usually a strength, especially breakfast and dinner buffets, though high food and drink prices are a recurring value complaint.
Room quality varies by category and location; upgraded sea-view and suite categories matter more here than at simpler beach resorts.
Hidden tips
Families should prioritize Master Club Plus if being close to the beach, social areas, and Caretta Caretta Kids Club matters.
Couples seeking quieter placement should look closely at Superior or Superior Ocean categories in the quieter wings rather than the most central social-area rooms.
Use the walk to Praia do Forte village for off-property restaurants, shops, Tamar Project, and a change of scene when resort dining prices feel high.
Book spa time early; the Anantara Spa is a major resort strength and has outside demand as well.
Check whether your rate is breakfast-only, half-board, or another package because food costs can materially affect perceived value.
Things guests wish they had known
This is strongest for families and nature-focused beach travelers who want a resort environment with village access nearby.
The resort is not a compact boutique hotel; room location can affect convenience.
Guests who plan to eat and drink mostly on property should expect higher resort pricing.
Some upgraded categories materially improve views, quietness, or proximity to preferred facilities.
Praia do Forte village is close enough to use for restaurants, shopping, and Tamar Project visits.
Strengths from our research
Beautiful beachfront setting near coral reefs, natural pools, coconut groves, and Atlantic Forest reserves.
Very strong family facilities, including Caretta Caretta Kids Club and programming for babies, children, and teenagers.
Seven swimming pools, including dedicated children's pool facilities.
Strong food reputation, especially breakfast and dinner buffet variety.
Anantara Spa is a standout wellness feature and has recent award recognition.
Walkable access to Praia do Forte village, Tamar Project, shops, and restaurants.
Other considerations from our research
Food, drinks, spa, and resort extras can feel expensive by local standards.
Some rooms and public areas are described as dated or affected by dampness in recent guest feedback.
The resort is large and spread out, so some room locations involve longer walks.
Buffet areas and family-heavy periods can feel noisy.
Service is often praised, but a minority of recent guest feedback reports inconsistency.

Room intelligence
- Best Building
- Wings 15 and 16 for Master Club proximity to beach and social areas; wings 7 to 9 for quieter Superior categoriesOfficial room descriptions identify wing locations and proximity tradeoffs. Quietness and convenience depend on whether guests prioritize social areas, beach proximity, kids club access, or a quieter garden setting.
- Rooms To Avoid
- Older-feeling or lower-view rooms if expecting a polished five-star room product; far wings if daily access to dining and kids facilities mattersGuest feedback is generally positive on room space and comfort, but recurring comments mention dated decor, dampness or mustiness in some rooms, and walking distances across the large resort.
- Best Value Room
- Master Room or Superior Ocean RoomThese categories preserve the resort's main advantages—garden or sea views, balcony or hammock, beach access, and resort facilities—without the highest suite or villa pricing.
- Best Room Category
- Deluxe Suite Ocean View or Presidential SuiteOfficial room materials identify these as the strongest ocean-view suite categories, with larger layouts, balconies, outdoor jacuzzi features, and upgraded inclusions.
