Rochavau Hotel in Portimão.
Rochavau Hotel occupies a restored 1970s property on the Algarve coast, transformed into a contemporary hospitality destination while preserving its architectural character.
The building's evolution from a classic Portuguese resort into a modern event venue reflects decades of coastal development in Portimão.
Positioned on Avenida São Lourenço da Barrosa, it offers direct access to the Atlantic with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces.
If you are ever coming to stay in Portimao, then really think about booking here. I literally couldn't find a thing to fault this hotel. The staff are wonderful, and greet you with a warm and friendly greeting, and are so helpful from anything you may need in the hotel, to information about the area. The rooms are lovely and clean, and the beds are comfy. Breakfast has a great choice on offer and there is plenty to set you up for the day. The bar is a nice place to relax, with a good choice of drinks on offer. The pool looked lovely, but it was a bit cool to try for the end of December. We chose to come here and celebrate the New Year, and hopefully will come back one day. Overall a lovely hotel, and well positioned to see the sunset just a few minutes walk away, as well as a nice walk along the sea front.
