HOTEL DA ROCHA

Gorgeous, funky place. The decor is fantastic. The pool area is nice. Great location on the beach. Get a deluxe room so you are guaranteed a balcony. Book this place! Oh and the staff are gorgeous and super-friendly

My wife and I stayed here for one week in SEptember 2017 and liked the hotel very much. The hotel is very clean and the staff and very helpful and nice. The location of the hotel is in a great area and in the centre of all the activity on The Praia da Rocha. It is close to many many restaurants and shops. We had a back room on the the fourth floor which was very quite at night and clean. The King size bed was very good and the mattress was excellent! The breakfast at this hotel is amazing!! There is so much to choose from that you could never go away hungry. My wife and I were very impressed by the breakfast! We rented a car for the week we were there from Avis which is along the street right behind the hotel. We did not park our car at this hotel since they charge 20 Euros a night, which is a bit steep. However, just a block behind the hotel there is a big public parking lot were you can park for free and for as long as you like. The Avis representative told us about this, so we parked the car in the free lot for the entire week and just walked a block to the hotel. The only negative thing I can say about this hotel is the pool is located in an inner courtyard between buildings, so if you are looking for some sun by the pool it can be difficult depending on the time of the day. However if you prefer the beach it is just across the street and there is alot of sun there!! I would hghly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants a nice, clean and beautiful place to stay while in the Algarve. My wife wife and I would stay here again on our next trip to Portugal.

GOOD: Black out blinds. Hairdryer on wall. Modern room. HUGE bed (room 212) with lots of pillows. Good location for BPM. Slightly off the strip so less noisy. Lots of plug sockets. 2 TVs. Luggage space. Fridge / kettle / microwave in room plus plates etc. Balcony. Space to hang towels. Place to store luggage. Safe in the room. NOT SO GOOD: Bath but no taps to have a bath. Breakfast 7-10, missed it for 3 days on a 3 night break. Staff called an airport shuttle AND an airport cab for me - but neither arrived. Small pool area - shaded for a lot of the day. Needed card booked on for checking in - mine had expired. Limited toiletries in bathroom.

We stayed for 10 nights half-board and had a beautiful room with large balcony and sea view, definitely worth paying extra for. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but take your own mugs if you like a large brew in the morning, as only small cups provided! The hotel is very clean with a lovely dining room, though the food was often not very hot. The hotel is just across from the beach with the lively strip to the right and the quieter part to the left. I hope to return to this hotel but would just book bed and breakfast, as there are loads of restaurants nearby which could better cater for my gluten free diet.
