Rocha Brava Village Resort

Would definitely stay here again. The rooms have a lovely Portuguese feel so if you are looking for ultra modern this is not for you. We had a 2 bed, ground floor apartment which was nice and spacious with a lovely private terrace overlooking the garden. An "ensuite" had been added to the Double bedroom which was great as a separate sink and shower, however you couldn't use the toilet unless you sat sideways 😊. Just a very small niggle in what was fantastic week here. The village is beautiful with well kept gardens. There were lots of cars parked around so presume it was fairly busy, buy we hardly saw anyone. Very peaceful. The staff were lovely and the on site restaurant was a very high standard with great food and fantastic service. With 4 pools to choose from, you're spoiled for choice. Direct access out to cliff top walks and about 45 min walk from the closest town, however also some great restaurants closer too. Beautiful location, clean, welcoming accommodation and friendly staff, what more can you ask for?

We stayed here for a month this year. Booked a one bedroom apartment with seaview.
Ocean view, sunsets, beautiful . Quiet, peaceful, apart from the maintenance going on. Kitchen very adequate once we found out how the laundry, dishwasher, stove etc. worked. Beds are comfortable, bathroom facilities are good too.
Small details ( lightbulb replacement, heater operations) we asked about taken care of promptly. Front desk staff professional and polite. A lovely property to walk around, well maintained grounds.
You can join the hiking path along the cliffs from here.

It was an amazing stay! Clean and warm, so many activity that you can take.
Even though the two outdoor pools were cold, but you can still take the indoor warm pool.
Trekking and hiking in nearby resort

It was our first time in the area. The location was great as it was walking distance to two beaches 15-20 minutes and also close to lighthouse and the caves. We were able to access the trails at the back of the property via a key access gate and the views were great. There was no shortage of restaurants with the cafe and a restaurant on-site. The restaurant was good. The pool bar (snack version of the restaurant) was also good and perfect for poolside drinks.
The resort itself had everything you needed including a grocery store which we found to be decently priced for the convenience. They had a large assortment of products - baked goods, drinks, wines. The produce was slim but for a resort grocery store, it makes sense. There was a main pool and 2 smaller pools. We used the ones farther away from reception as it was much quieter. The staff were pleasant enough. Eugenia at reception assisted us with getting checked in as soon as we were able to get our room as we arrived quite early.

It was fairly busy given the time of year but the grounds were spacious and it wasn't noisy. I would probably try visiting in June or September next time.
Our apartment was fully equipped and perfect for our 5 night stay. We had a nice balcony where we sat to watch sunset and also our breakfast. We had a washing machine in the kitchen and a clothes line outside. Housekeeping was every other day which was perfect. We had no issues with our apartment. We lost power twice but it was restored within 30 minutes, I suspect it was resort wide but we weren't bothered.
They have a kids club with lots of activities for the little ones, Monday through Friday. It closes for lunch at 1-2 and closes at 6pm. We only used it once as we were mostly exploring off the resort but the kids enjoyed the face painting.
The only downside was having to use cash for the resort to arrange an airport transfer, arranging for a cave tour, for mini golf rentals and all their other rides and tours they arrange. Just make sure you bring a good amount of cash to have on hand.
Overall, I very much enjoyed our stay there and would return.

Beautiful place. Quiet neibourhood in close proximity to most beautiful beaches in Portugal. Nearby town within walking distance.

So clean, regular towel and bedding change even for a week's stay. 5 mins from local restaurants so car not needed if you don't drive

Very pleasant apartments, swimming pools, shop, handy restaurants, close to the village with scores of cafés, restaurants, shops and beach.

Our second time to stay in the Rocha Brava resort. This place is fabulous. If u want a chill and relaxed holiday for you and your family this is the place to go. If u want pints and clubbing go to elsewhere. The resort itself is spotless and the gardens are immaculate. We will definitely be repeat customers.

A very special place. Location is a little out of the way but not a problem. Taxis are reasonable and the local buses are fine. Lots to do on site for families and very friendly staff.

A mostly tranquil resort with lovely gardens that break up the rows of villas. Several swimming pools to choose from and easy bus access to beaches along the coast. Lovely walks along the cliffs also.

Wonderful location right next to the coast, good amenities near by with spar and restaurants. Not a long walk into the nearby town if you're a fast walker. Overall the resort is stunning.

Fantastic place to stay. Everywhere clean and tidy. Rooms were lovely. Pool area kept clean, gardens all well looked after. Easy to get into town from location.

It is nice resort with Tennis court, really calm Area with access to seaside cliffs

Great spot. I went with HPB so had a selection of 4 pools to choose from.

Close to restaurants, shops and the beach.

Internet in our apartment was brilliant.

Amazing place to stay, loved it!
Very calm and quiet, enjoyed the place

Ideal location close to Centeanes beach and O Stop beach restaurant and bar. Also, other good restaurants in the vicinity. The complex is about a 5 minute drive from Carvoeiro town which bustles with tourists during the summer and houses an abundance of shops and restaurants

Absolute quality resort.

This resort literally has everything you need within the complex, plus within walking distance of wherever you'd need to go for your holiday.

I would recommend to anyone, especially families.

Lovely resort, self catering, good size apartment, separate kitchen, living room, bedroom, nice size balcony, pools are great, about a 3 mile walk to nearest town but nice if you're in no rush! Clean & friendly all round. Resort seems naturally quiet but plenty of people about, just not noisy people! Would highly recommend it to anyone. Maybe need a car to get about if you're not fit or able bodied if you're not one of those people who stays at the resort for the whole holiday! ( not my idea of a holiday either)

Great resort, the whole place is very neat and tidy. The appartment are good, plenty of stuff to do, location is wonderful with the beautiful cliffs just a few minutes walking away.

It's been our seventh time at Rocha brava village and we love it every time. Amazing location the views are incredible and the staff are friendly and kind. Shout out to Jessica and Telma who were particularly brilliant who gave excellent service every morning at breakfast which was delicious. It's very child friendly and so safe. I would highly recommend Rocha brava village as a complete holiday destination. Looking forward to our return visit for 2024
