Praia da Rocha, Club Praia Da Rocha Aparthotels

Even this was a last minute trip to the hotel we didnt expect it to be as bad as it was! when we arrived at the hotel we wernt given help taking our bags up and struggled to fit in the small lifts up to our floor. arriving in the room all there was, was a small uncomfortable sofa broken kitchen appliances mould on the walls, hair in the bed, dirty floors and terrible fews of bars outside the window. it was a long walk to the beach and the locals are unfriendly and stare at you. the food was disgusting and all i ate all week was chicken nuggets and chips with dodgey dry cake.i had a terrible tummy ake and ended up spending most of my time inside ill! the cleaners didnt do anything when they cleaned the rooms and the T.V didnt work. i wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone its terrible!

This was not a cheap holiday and then having to pay extra for basic items like a kettle and toaster was a kick in the teeth. The charge for sun loungers was just another way of fleecing us of our hard earned money. The resort is lovely but would not recommend these apartments, they are old and in need of refurbishment.

We just got back from Club Praia Da Rocha. We loved it. The apartments were cleaned every day except weekends but who'd expect that, they need time off too. They catered for everyone young and old. They are right on the door step of the entertainment next to all the bars and restaurants

The beach is a bit of a killer, 60 steps down is not to bad but coming up is a hike. We've only just come back from Club Praia Da Rocha Aparthotels, what a fab time we had. The apartments were cleaned every day except weekends which is only right, they need time off too. The staff were very nice. There was something there for everyone, we'd go back anytime. There's 4 lifts so there's no problem getting one.

You need to remember that you are only going to get what you pay for. We had a very pleasant stay and found the staff to be generally very friendly and helpful with the exception of the cleaners who were unfriendly and did not attend to the daily cleaning as indicated. Well stocked supermarket and bar and helpful reception staff added to a great holiday!

We as a family of four have been to the club Praia Da Rocha 3 times and we've booked again to go in August. as far as I can see most people writing bad reviews about this accommodation and location are way too fussy and need their head examined. Its a fantastic place to holiday, great beaches, lovely restaurants and mighty Craic at night for everyone.

I stayed 11 consecutive weekends in 2008 with different companies at the Hotel "Clube Praia Da Rocha" Portimao Algarve Portugal, and there needs to be a complaint and a negative review made about this place, it should not be classed as a three star.

To make it simple here is a list that follows.

General service and welcoming was rude, effortless and quite unhelpful.

The TV was (no previous mention or warning) extremely highly priced for a remote and said to have 29 channels of which it did not, some rooms had few some had many. We paid more per weekend to rent a remote than we did per night for two people.

No oven was provided and such items like kettle and micro wave were to be the same as the TV remote...RENTED at a price!!

Showers were old, none removable shower heads and disgustingly unclean baths.

Bidet's were only fitted with cold water taps!

NO double beds which is shocking in a complex of that size!

For the size of the complex, access to parking was insufficient and inconvenient.

Phones in rooms did not work, and rarely when did no phone cards could be used.

And each apartment and veranda varied greatly in size so some people paid the same for much more or much less than others...unfair.

Extra to pay per use of a sun lounger by the pool!

Very early check out which was not necessary.

Lighting of the rooms was very uncomfortable.

No clean towels often.

Corridors were very very noisy from as early as 8am - eg laundry carriers.

A number of times we received these phone calls, however one time, we thought it was a sound from the film we were watching but the front desk was calling our room for OVER ten minutes as running baths in this hotel usually set off the fire alarm of your room, so they call to see if you're ok, after a second call or a second minute of the phone ringing you'd think they would send someone to the room, nope.

And a three star that only provides to tiny bars of soap for your stay, nothing more.

The water from the kitchen tap is undrinkable - not by fact by taste.

Was livable because we only slept (after a few vodkas) and got ready there.

Had a great holiday at Club Praia Da Rocha Aparthotels. Pool area was lovely. We were concerned when I read previous reviews which is why I wrote this one. Sure, you had to pay a euro a day for - kettle, toaster, fan,remote control for tv, sunlounger and parasol but we only used the sun loungers every other day so if was included in the price we would have been paying for stuff we weren't using. We boiled the water in a pan n didn't need the other stuff. Would definitely go again. The resort itself was fantastic - more pubs clubs n restaurants than we could visit. SUPERB!

Overall really loved it there, we didn't want to come home!
