The Eggs Benedict was divine! Excellent sevice for breakfast! Loved the Loccitane bath products and turndown service with water and chocolates and free espresso coffee in the room! Beautiful ambiance and place to be!

It felt like your own little semi private villa. On the beach with a gorgeous pool.

The Main hotel building is beautiful and decorated with traditional Portuguese tiles. Our room was luxurious with windows on three sides; two aspects looking over the beach and sea. The staff were, without exception, courteous and helpful. Breakfast included everything you could possibly want.

Gorgeous hotel with everything you could possibly want. Oceanfront room with a terrace was fantastic. The pool area is stunning. The staff is warm, professional and amazing. Lovely breakfast overlooking the ocean.

If you are looking for a perfect stay at Praia da Rocha this is the place, with a location 2nd to none, a small but very cozy and sophisticated place, with special mention to its swimming pool/bar area and to its Michelin star restaurant.

“A wonderful hotel perched on top of the sea!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 7 nights
Portimão is not a nice city, full of heavy buildings. It lost the characteristic of a small leisure city at the border of the sea. It lacks green spaces and an historical centre. However I would recommend a visit to the local museum dedicated to the sea and processing of fish.
The property is a wonderful small palace very well located with a striking view to the beach. I would recommend a room in the main building, facing the sea. The staff is extremely polite and kind. Always attentive to your needs. The food at the bistro is excellent as well as the salads at the swimming pool. A meal at the main restaurant with a Michelin star is a gastronomic experience that I would recommend to all. The beach is big, not overcrowded, with white sand and imposing rocks. The colour of the sea is turquoise and its temperature very pleasant.

Extremely disappointed with the classic room without a view. Since the hotel was not full and we were staying 3 nights we thought they would upgrade us to a better room. We did pay for an upgrade and it made alll the difference in making our stay positive! The men at the reception desk were very good.

Staff not detail oriented, didn’t replace shower gel and water in the bedroom. By the pool they refused to help move the umbrellas to provide shade, stating that those were the hotel standards? During lunch the waiter didn’t give me the wine to taste and just served it. No one to take our order at the bar after dinner. Access by car during the evening is virtually impossible due to location and the streets being full off pedestrians. When we arrived the bell and the gate weren’t working and when the doorman finally came to try and open it, we got no welcome or sorry for the inconvenience...
Great for a retreat and to relax. Recommend the food both in the Vista Restaurant and by the pool. Breakfast selection and service are also very good. Rooms are quite comfortable and you get no noise from outside. The pool area is lovely.

1) the Gourmet restaurant was fun to visit ONCE - but the food was a bit over the top in my opinion. It was VERY expensive and I found that there were too many flowers on every dish. My wife and I, on the other hand, loved the nearby local restaurants with super fresh fish: i.e. F Restaurant, Atlantico, Case do Rocher; Squash etc.
Breakfast was very good. Relaxed, food plentiful and service excellent.

if you are hoping to get a reservation at the Michelin restaurant, make your reservations before you arrive, they are booked solid. Rooms are just ok, nothing more, for the money I would have expected much better - the beachy decor of the room does not reflect the reason we booked this hotel - The only luxurious part of the hotel is the main building which is lovely, but they have very very few rooms there I believe.
Bfast was great, location.. was ok. the terrace and view are outstanding !!
