The staff are amazing and their kindness and hospitality stand out. The food is worth the trip and the Chef is a star. The whole place is proud of him with good reason.

Virginia United States of America

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!

James United States of America

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

Julia United States of America

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.

Angela United Kingdom

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.

Leslie United States of America

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.

Renan Brazil

Beautiful hotel, fantastic breakfasts, extremely friendly staff. I would recommend a room with the sea-view.

Sylvia Germany

Gorgeous view. Newly renovated very good. Old world charm with modern features.
