We just loved the Hotel, Fantastic Location , and close to every, the restaurant there is fantastic
My only disappointment was the pool , surrounded by the building you cannot get a lot of sunshine, but then again that is what the Beach is for

While the room was clean, had a great view, and was spacious, the hotel would better serve their customers by upgrading their towels as they were paper thin, small, and rather useless. I would also suggest putting some tissues in the rooms. Wouldn't take much to upgrade your rooms.

The breakfast was very good and had a lot of options.

The parking was convenient, though we had to pay more that what should have been charged.

It's a great property, seems to be very popular and in demand when trying to book. it's my 2nd time staying there. very close to the beach, practically a 1 minute work across the street.

The rooms are clean and had great amenities like a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee maker.

Room was very large and clean. Staff were courteous and helpful. Breakfast was as expected for a buffet. Fresh options much better than other. Some great fresh juices. Pool is small and at this time of year largely in shade but we were not interested in using it. Very good situation for access to the beach and restaurants. Our view was disappointing but we hadn't paid for sea view. Only stayed 2 nights.

Quick, easy, and friendly check in. The BEST included breakfast I have ever seen! Huge selection and even Gluten Free options. Our room was very spacious, especially for Europe. Clean room - the bathroom was in need of some maintenance (caulking, grout, rust) the way 95% of hotel bathrooms are. Great system for pool and beach towels. My only complaint was that there was no coffee maker in our room (Suite Prestige). I had seen Nespresso machines in the photos and assumed all rooms would have one, but apparently only the higher category of rooms. Fantastic location across the street from the main beach and. Short walk to many restaurants. Be sure to walk through the opening in the cliff at the far right side of the beach at low tide - you can walk long the beaches lol the way to Praia Vau. Absolutely gorgeous!! Overall a great stay, and I was very happy with our choice.

Hotel da Rocha Review

I stayed in Room 401 and enjoyed the fantastic views and a very comfortable bed. The room itself, however, is in need of some renovation—fixtures, fittings, and particularly the bathroom are showing their age.

The food was tasty but a little lacking in variety. The pool area is nicely kept, but because it’s surrounded by tall buildings on three sides, it loses sunlight early in the day and tends to be deserted by around 3pm.

Staff are professional and efficient, though more formal than friendly. The location is excellent, with the beach and nightlife both within easy walking distance. Parking in the area is scarce, so the hotel’s underground parking (currently €15 per day) is a real benefit.

Check-in and check-out were smooth, though as I arrived early I did have to wait around two hours for my room to be cleaned, with keys handed over at 3pm.

Overall, a well-situated hotel with great views and comfort, but some areas could be improved to make the experience feel more polished.

I expressed some concerns about my stay and they were not addressed. If you are going to AfroNation. Stay away. They will overcharge for subpar accommodations. I also had a reservation for two people and they would stop me outside and tell me I could not have guests. My friend could not even help me with my outfit. I had to come outside to have her fix my bathing suit top. I felt humiliated and paid a lot of money to be treated disrespectfully. Wish they would have addressed my concerns or offered a partial refund.

We really enjoyed staying there. We ate the breakfast and it was good.
I don't know what is technically eco friendly except maybe they don't wash your towels every day unless you ask.
The location is excellent since it was a short walk to the beach and most of the walk was walking across the area of land to get to the beach. Tons of activities nearby that are extremely fun. And there is more beach to the town than the first glimpse from walking over that you see.

Sure not a five star hotel, but reasonable in price and worth more than the price

RR Hotel de Rocha is a perfect spot to launch from for a beach vacation. Access to the Praia de Rocha is across the street! The friendly staff made us feel welcome and were very helpful. The hotel’s parking is 20€ per day (in late July 2025) and is located under the building. An amazing breakfast buffet is included every morning. So many fresh, delicious options that you can choose different items every day for a week! Walk to tens of restaurant and shopping choices. Due to the hotel’s location, there can be music and crowd noise at night. Things seemed to quiet down around midnight during our stay (Monday-Thursday). Make a plan and go and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Only stayed for one night, but I am planning to return to explore more the South part of Portugal and will try to stay here again because of its location and ammenities. Breakfast was included, with many options.

We stayed here for three days with our two children and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed—and the room was spacious and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of variety to suit all tastes. Just a small tip: try to go before 9 AM to avoid a wait for seating.

The housekeeping staff did a fantastic job keeping the room and facilities clean each day. Our only minor issue was the sofa bed—the mattress was quite thin and not very comfortable, even for our lightweight nine-year-old daughter.

Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to families looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay.

Premium experience!

I don’t think I’ll ever return to the area and not utilize this facility. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and accommodating. The doorman explained to me how to say a few of the words in Portuguese and as the four day trip went on, commented on my usage of it and it’s a little details like that that made this stay great. The city view room that we had on the seventh floor, which would’ve been looking east was phenomenal. You can see the harbor you were able to see the street and we were there for a festival so we really had a great vantage point to see people coming and going and having a good time. Staying at this facility truly made the experience for myself and my beloved one that we will never forget. Also, the breakfast that is included is a must and you have got to try the pool side drinks. Obrigado!!

This was our family's first stay at the hotel. We previously stayed at Bella Vista, but since they do not accept children, we chose your hotel since we were traveling with our young granddaughter. We were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful breakfast buffet that is served daily and is included with accomodations. Hotel staff were friendly, polite and personable. The only negatives were the number of towels for each room, we only had two bath towels the first day. We called for more and were given a third, which I do not think is sufficient especially when staying during the summer months and guests may choose to shower twice a day. The other drawback was the coffee pods for the room were not replenished when the room was serviced and we had to call daily for more. Other than that, we had a pleasant stay.

A few disappointments

I never leave negative reviews, but a few things. First, DO NOT book this hotel through a 3rd party website. I booked and paid for cancelation rights but didn't realize they ended a week before check in, instead of a day or two before like most. That's fine, but my husband was sick and we needed to change the dates by 3 days (not cancel, but just move the dates and the same room was still available) and hotels.com was going to charge me 100% to change the reservation by 2 days. I contacted the hotel and they said there is nothing they could do because I booked through a 3rd party website, which was odd because I was paying at the property. So we lost the full amount for those 3 days. I then booked 2 nights for a few days later. The room is nice, but it's outside the hotel and requires a separate door key for the outside door. They will only give you one. They also stocked the room for 2 people instead of 3, and there is no phone or way to call for service from these rooms. It's 59 steps up and down (which they did disclose but I'm not doing an extra trip to ask for a towel).
On the plus side, nice room and very nice view. Probably OK if you book directly with the hotel and just know that the rooms with outside access are actually a different building than the hotel with no front desk and no way to call.

Anniversary Celebration

We booked a suite with a sea-view for 2 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The room was clean, modern, with a comfortable and very large bed. The sea-view was perfect and not exaggerated by clever photography.

We did not eat an evening meal in the restaurant but had breakfast there on both days and were very impressed by the quality and selection available.

We found all the staff very courteous and helpful and overall we are very happy with our stay.

Maid service everday cleaning floor, bins making bed. Big, big choice of breakfast. You will love it. Beaches are big and there is plenty of them. Clean all around the area. Shops, cafes, bars restaurants. All the food we had was lovely. The pool area was quite due to it's size and shade over the pool after 3pm, but still nice for a swim and read a book. We spent 7 nights and enjoyed the walks up and down the beach discovering the beautiful little coves for plenty of photos opportunity's. Would recommend this hotel and area for couples and families.
