Location, staff, that breakfast! What a great place to stay in Portimão.

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.

This was our second stay at the hotel and both times have been absolutely amazing!!! Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back. 🙂

Nice modern hotel close to beach and amenities!

Great breakfast.

Great hotel in a great location. One issue I have was the beach entrance, which didnt have the covered path to the beach and was very difficult to get to. And no accessible FREE chairs. They charge 22 euros for a day for 2 chairs only, not even an umbrella.

Very clean and spacious room with a decent side view onto the sea, and great for access to the beach and walkable to many restaurant options.

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.

Staff were informative and most friendly

Amazing hotel very clean and spacious. Hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with any requests. Tanya at reception allowed me to check in early which was incredibly kind of her as I was early. Hotel breakfast was plentiful and well managed and replenished so plenty for everyone! Location is also very central, near to the beach and restaurants cafes and bars! Delightful stay! Highly recommend!

On the quieter side of the beach, a stone's throw away from the restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops etc. Beautiful view from the partial view searoom, hearty breakfasts, professional and courteous staff, highly recommended for Portimao.

Location was nice, by the beach. too bad they don’t have beds on the beach (or I was not made aware of). Breakfast was diverse and tasty, even gluten free items.

I only have great things to say about this hotel, it was clean, the staff were amazing the location is perfect right next to the beach and the main little strip with shops and restaurants…. The buffet exceeded my expectations it was one of the most enjoyable breakfast buffets I have ever had. I highly recommend this hotel!

Best choice in that area

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.

Superior room was huge, was clean with a bistro set on the terrace. Very close to the beach. Wasn't a fan of the town / area surrounding the hotel but felt safe.

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.

It is right next to the beach and all the popular attractions. Great room with plenty of space. Surprisingly there are no outlets in the bathroom. Had to plug my toothbrush in the outlet near the bed???

great location, helpful staff, very good breakfast, close to beach, restaurants, and shopping. Parking available (not free) at the property.

Lovely hotel with great food and a beach in close distance!
