This is a smart, brand new hotel offering quite a premium experience on a budget. Service from the front desk on reception was way beyond what I’d expect - warm, friendly, helpful; can’t rate them high enough. The room sizes bigger than we expected with an admittedly small balcony still offering room for two chairs and some fresh air. Bathroom is small but has everything including a bath with monsoon and smaller shower heads, plus a bidet - it’s really good. There’s a small fridge too, so if you want to keep your water cool or keep a few cans chilled, you’re sorted. Lovley TV with Netflix and Disney, so if you subscribe to these services you have your favourite shows to watch as well. Breakfast room is smart and the food plentiful - you can easily leave satisfied. It does have an outside pool but you are, what, 50 metres or so from the beach? Some decent restaurants within 5 minutes walk, including a Portuguese one right next door. It has parking at about 12 eur a day if you need it but, wow, it’s underground and tight.. really tight. It does have an EV charge point, which is pretty cool. We’re happy with this hotel, a lovely place to stay in Pria da Rocha.

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 sparsely 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.
