As a golfer this is the perfect spot. Many many quality options with 20-30 minutes. I still think it's the best location when traveling with a family. The beach is awesome and the food choices are excellent. Great access to sea tours and water taxi to Ferragudo from the marina. There's so much to do. I would recommend renting a car so you can visit numerous surrounding towns.

Nice little town to walk around, beautiful promenade along the River Arade. Options of long walks along the beaches. Some places require maintenance. Easy access launderettes for long stays and lots of apartments too.

Great location of the resort.
Great location of the resort. Too far from the malls and other destinations that we would've want to visit. We ate at the the restaurant at the resort and also in town. Also the restaurants on the beach.

There are few places directly from the city center where you can find yourself so close to the incredible power of nature. The combination of a big city and beautiful natural beaches. Amazing, quiet town with lots of small beaches. One of the most beautiful beaches for me ever. Easily accessible by train, bus, car, taxi, Uber, or boat. About 2 hours from Faro airport. by car. There is everywhere to roam. If you see everything in the city, you don't have to run far to other big cities, but just move to the suburbs, in the east or west by the ocean. You will also be charmed and surprised by their natural scenery.

We stayed at Praia Da Rocha and regularly walked into Portimão Centre. We used the train to visit Lagos which was a short trip and reasonably priced.
The beach was amazing and there are plenty of shops.

It was pretty deserted in Februrary and the weather was too cold to get into the water. We had a major tropical storm with high winds and very high waves so the weather was against us. Luckly we did the boat tour to the caves and grottoes on the first day before the storm, but the rest of our stay was impacted.
Breakfast exceeds expextations, there is everything you can think of, including healthy food.
Balcon view was on the garden with birds and even a rabbit and a sea - perfect.
Staff very friendly and willing to help.
Room was spacious, we had a bath and a kitchen with all facilities to cook comfortably.
Indoor pool is great for windy weather. You need a shower cap to use it, but staff can provide it.
We enjoyed our stay fully, very beautiful place and perfect hotel!
Excellent location in Portimao, next to the beach, bars and restaurants as well as supermarkets. It has a tour train that goes round portimao to show you more of what it can offrr. It is a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. Lots of amazing restaurants on the door step such as the Adris and Murca (I think this was the name) as well as the Safari, all fab service and amazing food. Do have cash on you as connection to pay by card is not great in Portimão at peak times.
The whole personel is the most positive point of this Hotel. They are always available, responding the guests with smile and patience and try their best to manage your requirements.
This is true for the reception as well as the resturant and bar, where you have always someone taking care of you with friendly and welcoming attitude.
Other positive point is the location, in front of a very nice beach with several restaurants and bars around the area.
Everything ! The staff, the grounds of the hotel, the breakfast is the best we've had in Portugal. The beach nearby is a beautiful and excellent beach ! We love everything about the place. I just wish it also has a ensuite with kitchen then it will be perfect ! The price is unbeatable. This is by far the best price, staff, breakfast and location we've had in Portugal. We will definitely return here when we return to Portimao !
it was very nice, even got an upgrade for a beautiful large garden apartment next to the pool. nice atmosphere,, ver quiet, only sound of waves, next to the beach, at the very end of Portimao, so no traffic. beach access., wondeful beach with sand and cliffs. little shop, It was insane value, very cheap off season. had 2 lovely days of rest after walking the fisherman's trail. Bus stops nearby to go to the railway station.
We chose the apartment as it was close to the Algarve Race track and it was perfect. The apartment was spacious with a balcony giving views of the track, Portimao & the ocean. The facilities were great as well as the mini market. The hotel staff were most helpful & organised with arranging transport of our motorcycle from the hotel to The Netherlands. Wonderful place to relax.
Have stayed at Hotel Da Rocha many times. It is a fantastic Hotel with a perfect Location a few metres from the beach. The Side Sea View Room was brilliant and spotlessly clean and a huge luxurious Bed. The Breakfast is amazing with a huge variety of food to choose from. All The Staff are very welcoming and friendly. All in all a great Hotel. We will be returning.
An amazing place to stay with so many outstanding touches. The decor and cleanliness were the best we’ve seen staying in Portugal. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The breakfast was amazing and worth the stay. Great location 300 ft from the beach. Parking onsite. We’d love to have this kind of hotel wherever we stay!
Location was ideal to take day trips to other beaches in the Algarve region as the bus stop was only a 5 minute walk from the property. Inna is an incredible host! She gave me recommendations and always responded right away to any questions I had. I highly recommend this apartment!
The apartment was nice, clean and FULLY equipped, located a few minutes from the beach. Nothing was missing and we felt like at home. One of our best experiences so far. If we come to Portimão again, we will stay in this super cozy apartment again. We can HIGHLY recommend!
Location was great, just a minute or so from the beach, and at one end of Praia Do Rocha strip. Very easy to find and convenient for the Praia do Rocha area. Probably one of the best showers I've had in any Portimao stay in either of the two bathrooms.
The upgrades to the units are wonderful. I've been coming to this hotel since I was a little girl and returned with my husband and children. The change in ownership has allowed it to evolve while maintaining the charming qualities I love about it.
Great location with close access to the beach and nice restaurants. I would stay again, but only during the week. Portimao is a nice city and the beach was huge and had great restaurants on it.
absolutely nothing, I have never experience more rude staff in my life. made my trip to Portimao and absolute horror. pick any other hotel, pick a hostel. anything but AP oriental.
Outdoor furniture needs to be upgraded. Pool is without integayd lights (looks cheap).
Overpriced (considering price in Portugal)
No beach beds in beach.
No parking.
