RR Hotel da Rocha

The ocean view from the room was stunning, as it was also the last floor, very comfortable and large bed, spacious room, very clean. The location perfect, in front of one the beautiful beaches. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location. Beach and restaurants across the street. Best beach in the Algarve with caves and lots of rock formations. Took hundreds of photos. Free parking close by. We booked the sea view suite. It was large with a living room with kitchenette. Large deck that we used each day. Best thing about this hotel was the staff. Super nice and helpful. We had an issue with the tolls and not stopping to get a prepaid card at the side of the highway. Tanya was excellent and helped us sign up for the online (out of Portugal plates) and called to back date the entry so we could pay. Site is all in Portuguese so difficult to deal with. You can’t pay at the post office with ‘out of country’, only Portugal plates, as we found out from Tanya. She was excellent. We also had fabulous recommendations for dinner from the staff. Cleaning staff was meticulous too. They are all well trained. We were very impressed! We loved our stay. Portimao was excellent as our base in the Algarve. Close to everything. This is a great spot for a classy stay. We had booked one night in Albufeira and regretted it. Not for us! Portimao is more of our style.

The bedroom was lovely and big. The breakfast was great but the crepes/pancakes could have been cooked a little longer. The pool area and pool is kinda small but this didn't really bother us as we are more into the beach. No problem with sun lounger availability when we were there at the pool in the mornings from what we could see at breakfast. The staff were nice. The beach was a 3 minute walk. Shops and restaurants nearby. The dinner was nice, 28 euro a head. We were only there for 3 nights so just did 1 night of restaurant buffet and it was varied.

The service of this hotel was very nice. There was a bell boy who took our luggage right from the car till our room. The checkin was super easy. We had booked the king size family suite and the room was just spectacular. The view from the room balcony was also good. We were directly on the first floor but still could see the ocean from our balcony. The room was pretty huge and ample space with kids. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The buffet breakfast was out of this world. There were endless varieties of food to eat for not vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The breakfast is a must when booking this hotel and not to miss.

Very modern and comfortable room. Spacious. I loved the front desk service (Jessica?) checked us in early and gave us a great room because she could. This was top notch service. Jose the bellman was also a great ambassador for the property. Our room was a corner at the front, with a great view of the beach. Breakfast was very comprehensive and generally good, though I found the temp off on a few items. We had the partial sea view, but were really well placed. The balcony was also lovely and spacious.
