“Great Cheap Holiday”

I was a little worried about staying here after reading some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised when we got there! Yes the hotel is a little "tired" but 4 of us (adults) stayed in a one bed apartment and there was plenty of room for us all. Poolside is great - very big pool although VERY cold and salty!! but great to refresh in after a hot day. We were lucky with the weather it was high 20's every day and the resort of Praia da Rocha was fantastic.

“Great for the money”

This hotel was so inexpensive that i cant see anyone having cause to complain, the location was amazing ... 2 minutes walk to main strip of bars and restaurants and another two minutes past this down about forty steps onto the beach... and what a beach !!! couple miles long, half amile wide, with a few restuarants and bars dotted along. The sea was fun, with atlantic rollers coming at and trying to weep you over, probably not a great idea to swim on if you're a non-swimmer but oooh such fun !! The pool area was clean with a slide and plenty of sunbeds, can imagine it getting very busy in July/aug though. The apartment was large enough to sleep 4 confortably and fit a cot in if required and had everything you need to self cater... although its so heap to eat out we didnt bother, just used the fridge for cold drinks etc Overall, i would def go back for a bit of sunshine :-)

“Praia Da Rocha Experience”

Good resort, plenty to see and do with excellent local transportation between Praia and Portimao. Many restaurants, bars including a couple of Irish bars within Praia. The fortress at Praia and Marina area nice to walking around and very safe even late at night. Friendly people who can't seem to do enough to help you.

“good value for the money”

Nice hotel for the price.Nothing fancy but very clean and close to the beach and the nightlife

“Won't stay again”

The hotel was ok, was in a good location. The pool was big, nice for children but too big for us. You had to pay extra for sunbeds, tv and fan. Wouldn't rush back, not value for money

“Good for somewhere mediocre to stay”

The good things are... that the customer service is very good, the hotel is pretty close to the beach and if you're interested in night life there is lots around. The bad things are ...every roon is identical and they only have twin beds with what I wsould barely call a mattress. If you have back problems this is not the hotel for you. Also, they charge a rental fee for the TV converter and the pool lounge chairs. Make sure you get a pool view otherwise you'll be staring at buildings under construction.

“As expected from other reviews....”

We weren't expecting the best hotel, however it was much noiser than we expected. The walls and doors are paper thin - many of the guests are there to party all night, as we already knew, however we didn't expect to hear them returning all though the night (until 7am) (rooms above, below, and in the corridors). The seagulls also continue to squak all through the night, so earplugs are a must have if you wish to get any sleep (but this won't solve the problem of the lumpiest pillows ever - take your own!!) The room itself was a very good size, and bed sizes were fine. Kitchen was fully kitted out (although as said in other reviews, no kettle). The tv works by the buttons, so no need to get a remote, and they have many English TV channels too. The pool was good, although very cold, especially considering it sits in the sun all day - the sea was much warmer! The cleaners came in most days, and changed the towls & made the beds, but it was hard to tell if they actually "cleaned" anything, considering the state of the tiles etc. Overall the hotel is a little below what we were expecting, even considering the low cost. The lifts were the slowest we have ever encountered. But if you are planning on a clubbing holiday and don't really care where you sleep off the hangover over, it's probably an ok bet.

“very cheap but.......”

you gat what you pay .Very cheap resort & very old , very small beds , but .... realy cheap. Algarve have beautiful costline and in october is empty

“Not impressed”

Only stayed 1 sleepless night at Club Praia Da Rocha Apartments but it is certainly a night I would like to forget. This hotel can only be described as grotty from the cracked tiles in the bathroom, dirty bedroom and kitchen. The indoor pool smelled like a public toilet and the outdoor pool was hosting a conference for 16-18 with loud pumping music all day.

“A "Value Hotel" in a great location”

Very basic accommodation but clean and comfortable. Be warned, if you like a bit of home comfort, you will need to pay to hire the TV, kettle, toaster, hairdryer etc. There is also no oven/grill or microwave so not ideal for long stays! Generally, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the outdoor pools are large and well maintained - something for everyone here. Not my usual type of accommodation but I would definitely stay here again.
