Rocha Brava Village Resort

The property is paradise-like. The grounds and botanicals are exceptional. Delightful staff. Though question… if I really need to dig for something, perhaps more signage. One gets a good map of the resort but a few more signs pointing the way to the cliff walk, reception, etc. might be useful. Again, this is a trivial item.

It was absolutely fantastic. Great service, everyone was kind. The facilities were well cleaned and taken care of. They provided a free bus from the resort to the center of Carvoeiro which was great. On the day of the checkout, we were able to store our bags and still keep enjoying the pool for the rest of the day! Loved everything!

The resort is very big and there are several pools scattered across the property. We had one just next to us. The apartment was spacious and had a very nice terrace facing the pool. The apartment had air conditioning in the living room and bedroom. Short walk to the beach. The furniture in the living room was a bit dated, but I would definitely come back.

It was a bit musty upon arrival.

This is a phenomenal resort with great food and drinks, a kid’s camp, beautiful landscaping, parking and well maintained pools. You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to! Many restaurants around within walking distance and you can book a ride to the city center with the resort for free. The access to the hiking trails over the cliffs is convenient and you can walk to many beaches from there in either direction. There is a beach 2 minutes away by car with a parking area and restaurant/bathrooms. Food at the property is not included, but we ate there twice. Nothing

Unit located close to pickleball court for tournament. No dishwasher in unit we reserved. Other units though at higher fee had dishwashers.

Nothing

Beautiful property. Excellent location. Just needs a bit of remodeling. .. looking tired in places in the room (paint refresh, for example). The facilities are excellent. Great restaurants on property and nearby.

Location Dated

Gorgeous property. Older accommodations but super charming and clean! Wild flowers and gorgeously maintained it’s a real gem. Some updates to bathrooms would be welcome.

Very responsive to calls. Our one issue resolved. Front desk very helpful

Good location to explore the south cost. We had a terrible smell from WC after flashing, looks like a construction related issue. Experienced some issues with electricity. Could be probably solved by the staff but we stayed there for a short time and didn't report those problems due to the lack of time. The breakfast was very poor for its price.

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.
