Rochavau Hotel

Newly rebuilt Rochavau hotel is as you would expect for a hotel that’s only been re opened for a few months, absolutely spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I stayed in the original Rochavau in the early 1980’s and returning to this beautiful location 40 years later was certainly not a disappointing experience. This in my opinion is one of the most stunningly natural parts of the Algarve and the local Vau beach restaurants and bars are excellent and still inexpensive. Staff at the hotel couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. During our stay the hotel was very sp****ly occupied and as a result very quiet and relaxing. Breakfast is a little bit limited in terms of choice but the food was good quality and personally I have no complaints. The pool area does lack a bar which I understand they need a licence for and this would be a good addition but the restaurant staff will bring drinks out to the pool or outside seating areas. We had a wonderful week in one of the Algarve's most beautiful spots and we will definitely be back in 2024. Thanks to all the lovely staff at the Rochavau. Richard and Bianca.

We had an amazing stay here! Great modern hotel in fantastic location, extremely close to restaurants and the beach. Staff were excellent! Special mention to the chef for the breakfast, he was fantastic! Would definitely recommend this stay! 10/10

We flew over from the USA for the MotoGP race in Algarve and this the was the perfect Hotel. The Hotel is new renovated so everything is new and beautiful. The Hotel is in a great location, just a minutes walk to the Ocean front. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were both extremely friendly and helpful, providing absolutely terrific recommendations for places to eat dinner after coming back from the race track. When I say the staff was amazing and friendly, I mean ALL of the staff, the Manager, the House Keeping staff, the Chef's working the breakfast area where we fueled up on delicious coffee and food. Anything you needed they did they're best to accommodate us and 100% of our stay they succeeded. Special mention to management for going out of their way to extend our stay during such a busy event weekend. Special mention to the evening front desk gentlemen for all of the amazing restaurant recommendations. As for the rooms, everything is super new, great TV, great bathroom, great bed, and a very lovely balcony to watch the sun set.

Poor service & money hungry — staff didn’t seem to want to be there maybe because it’s off season & not exciting. No direction or advice ti give us on what to do. I got message before trip saying there would be 52€ tax on top of hotel room charge, but they retracted. I was told 12€ parking charge per night, but found out parking is free. At checkin the guy came up to us & offered us a welcome drink— we got 1 wine 1 latte but st checkout we’re asked ti pay 7.5 € ——actually I would like that money refunded to me. I had forgotten my toothbrush & asked reception if they could provide — she says 3.5€ — No consideration for guest

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Rooms are very spacious and clean..everything you need in the room.From the moment we arrived we were made feel so welcome. The staff very friendly, the location is superb, restaurants in walking distance. Great breakfast Straddling the cliffs between Portimao and Alvor really suited us as we love walking and were able to enjoy the cliffs and beaches. Highly recommend this hotel

Fabulous hotel! perfect location ! Will definitely stay again.. rooms were very clean and breakfast very tasty. Staff very friendly. A visit to Alvor and Carvoeiro is well worth the drive. Urban Grill is a 5 minute walk from the hotel food very tasty and also Green heart @ Clogue…views and food outstanding!!

The hotel was gorgeous, modern & very clean. The staff was amazing, every single one of them was helpful. Joe took great pictures of me 🫶🏾. The breakfast was very filling & everything was fresh. I 100000% recommend. If you’re going because of Afro Nation, it’s only a 20 minute walk to the beach, Praia Da Rocha so it’s extremely convenient.

Staff are excellent, friendly and very helpful. Hotel is new and modern and very close to the beach. Complimentary breakfast Second time we have stayed on this trip and will do so again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is modern and close to the beach, Parking can be an issue on the street if you do not wish to pay to park at the hotel.
