The resort is a lovely place with well-maintained pools and spacious apartments, perfect for families. The location is convenient for exploring the Algarve, and there are great restaurants nearby. However, the prices at the on-site supermarket were steep, and we faced some issues with our initial room assignment that affected our check-in experience.

Our initial apartment was quite dated and noisy, but after voicing our concerns, we were relocated to a more modern and spacious apartment with a beautiful view. Overall, the apartments were clean and well-equipped.

While the staff were eventually helpful in addressing our room issue, the initial check-in was somewhat disappointing, and I found the on-site supermarket prices absolutely ridiculous, which took away from the overall experience.

Rocha Brava offers a lovely resort experience with beautiful grounds and excellent swimming pool options, perfect for family relaxation. However, the accommodation itself leaves much to be desired, with some apartments in need of modernization. While there are great dining options nearby, the on-site dining prices could be improved to cater better to casual visitors. Overall, it's a mixed bag that offers value for a self-catering vacation.

We had a delightful stay at this resort, perfectly situated near stunning beaches and great cliffs for walking. The apartments were spacious and well-equipped, with the convenience of local restaurants just a short stroll away. However, some areas, especially in terms of maintenance, could use a refresh, and the dining options on site were a bit pricey. The atmosphere was serene and ideal for a relaxing family vacation.

We had a decent stay overall at the resort, enjoying the beautiful beaches and relaxing environment. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made our experience better. However, our apartment was unfortunately dated and not as clean as we would have liked, which was a letdown. The dining options weren't ideal either, with pricing that seemed a bit steep for what was offered.
