Rocha Brava Village Resort

The grounds were beautifully kept with loads of facilities in terms of pools, tennis courts, gym, mini golf, table tennis etc., but not all were as they appeared. The location is stunning, with direct access to the Seven Hanging Valleys trail from the property. Loads of parking and pretty quiet in the evenings. Loads of activities to do around with the highlight being the caves. Worth doing a tour of some sort while you are there.

The area surrounding the Rocha Brava Village resort is stunning, sitting up on the cliffs, but it is a little isolated. Nothing significant is within walking distance. While the apartment was satisfactory, I did not like the layout with the kitchen separate to the rest of the apartment and an awkward set-up with the fridge right behind the door. We had a few 'clashes' during our stay. I also found the apartment very dark. The main pool is not kid-friendly at all. The depth starts at 1.2m, which was just about okay for my 7 year old. It is not built for families with young kids. I did plan to use the gym, but looking at the very limited equipment, I didn't think the €9 per session was worth it. The restaurant was lovely with great staff, but very expensive.

Comfortable and clean. Had everything needed.

Only Very minor thing was the apartment was facing into the back of the restaurant kitchen, the pickleball courts, the music from the pool and next to the kids club. This meant it could be noisy when all in full swing at the same time when trying to relax in the balcony. However, it didn’t spoil the over all stay.

We enjoyed the pools, and the restaurant. The amenities exceeded expectations; the resort had 3 pools, tennis courts, pickleball, a gym w/ classes, walking trails, a restaurant, and a mini mart.

The beds (matresses) need to be upgraded in all of the rooms. The restaurant was a bit pricey; breakfast was $15 Euros per person. The resort needs to do a better job explaining how to use the appliances in the unit.

General store, swimming pools, access to cliff walk; nearby to Carvoeiro. Water view with nice patio, fully furnished kitchen. Two bathrooms and clothes washer.

Unit needs general updating, replace mirrors, mold on ceiling above tub, no blow dryer, fix rollers on patio screens.

Spacious apartment, pool was very close and the kid was really happy. Located close to the walking trails.

I would like to see more restaurants in the resort and more choices in the restaurants near the pools.

It is a huge complex that feels very homey. Comfortable, quiet, gorgeous view from our room. This area has some of the most gorgeous hikes and viewpoints in the world.

A car is really required to get around in the Algarve. We had one and used it each time we left.

The outdoor area is nice. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped with utensils.Lots of onsite parking

Shower is terrible.Pool was very cold for June, slightly warmer than sea temperature to give you an idea.Everything on site is so expensive and not even good quality. 10 euro minimum to use your card in the on site shop- haven’t seen this anywhere im Europe in about 10 years.Coffee in the on site cafe is very bad .Food at pool cafe is not great.Staff are not friendly at all and it seemed very unlikely they’d do anything to help make your stay more enjoyable.

Amazing property with all facilities at one place, sport complex, swimming pools and all beaches nearby.

While many properties in Portugal can be hard to locate, due to many twisting small roads, we were so pleased upon arrival. Our room was a small apartment with a lovely ocean view. Beds were very comfortable. Great price!Staff attentive, grounds exceptional. Just outside the property gate is the long 7 mile hike on the cliffs, and amazing sunset! Great pools, very peaceful!! Birdsongs filled the quiet location.

A little hard to find, but hope to return again. Easy drive down to ocean & beaches.

The apartment was equipped well. The location is good. The beds are comfortable. No noiseThe pool area is very tranquil and the staff is friendly. Nice bar and restaurant.There is heated pool as well.

There was no dish soap or sponge to clean the dishes. As well we had a very bad smell coming from the drain pipes from the bathroom The location is far from any city or attraction.

Ambience, location, facilities

Property was slightly tired but very clean.

Three reasonably sized pools (heated) of which one is rudimentary covered, spacious resort

Was missing the (warm) welcome at the reception, was surprised by the extra charge for the gym for booking.com users compared to regular bookers and was irritated by the EUR5 charge for each beach towel for a four star resort

The villa was large enough to accommodate our large family, where we all had our own rooms and enough bathrooms

Offer a cheaper price if you are just staying there but not using all the extra facilities like pools and tennis courts etc.

Nice location on the cliff walk, albeit a little far from the town. Still, the resort had shops/ restaurants etc within walking distance.Enjoyed the heated pool area. Visited beginning of May, so it was still quiet and relaxed - not many guests.

The floors and corners of rooms were quite dirty. Dust mites on the sofas. We were likely some of the first guests of the year in the particular house, so it could have been cleaned better and aired out beforehand.

The location was great. About 30 mins to Bengil Caves.

The resort was outdated.

Well laid out and beautifully landscaped self contained resort with a small, heated, covered pool, larger unheated pools and tennis courts etc. The properties are a little dated but still very nice, clean and very well equiped. There's an onsite Restaurant which we did not visit but other restaurants just out side the site including the ever excellent Jardim do Frol. Close to many lovely beaches and the pretty twn of Cavoiero. The resort offers a shuttle service to the latter which is very convenient although a later slot would be helpul. Ample onsite parking outside most residences.Will almost certainly be back gain.

Poolside bar/cafe is quite expensive.

Great family facilities.

Could do with a bit of a clean up but overall fine for an average priced hotel.

Pool bar and pool restaurant

The staff on arrival were quite miserable and unfriendly. The apartment was not very clean, mouldy areas in the bathroom. For a 4 star resort to be given a sample size bottle of shampoo and shower gel was not good. Poor WiFi, definitely not a 4 star apartment, which is probably why it was up for sale. Clifftop walks no good for the infirm. Coffe shop poir quality of food for the price.

Overlooked frog pond. Kept awake all night with noise. Another area

Great location for doing the 7 hanging valleys walk. Heating in the apartment worked really well.

I appreciate work has to be undertaken. However as this is a holiday result I don’t think that work should commence before 9am. Furniture, and in particular the lighting, was very old and shabby.
