    Mould, dirty and very poor management over accommodation

    rating30 Apr 2026

    We booked to stay 48 nights at the resort on the extended holidays packages Jet 2 Holidays offer. Initially we were allocated apartment 266. The front door did not open. It was rotten and split and swollen so opening it scratched the floors. The apartment had not had any updates at all likely since it was first built over 30 years ago. The tiles in kitchen and bathrooms all had small cracks in them and there was a rank smell in the apartment. We soon discovered what it was. the walls under the sink in the kitchen were black with mould. The U bend in the bathroom sink had degraded so water from the sink went straight onto the floor and there was no cover over the waste in the shower. So after first shower there was a constant smell of raw sewerage. The electric heater in the second bathroom was a rusty radiant heater which looked unsafe to use. Black mould is a killer. A properly run place would have basic standards of cleanliness and health and safety.. Apartment 266 appears to have had no oversight for years. On day three we were upgraded to a villa which was set in the most beautiful grounds. It was a lot better, and no mould in the kitchen.. but the cream tiled floors were filthy. We asked for it to be cleaned and a deep clean was offered so we went out for the day, returning to find the floors as filthy as when we left. So we cleaned one of the bathroom floors ourselves leaving one tile dirty as a comparison. The covers on the sofas were dirty too.. We had sheets on our bed with holes in them and towels that were grey and threadbare. We had to ask for new sheets and towels.. As the weather changed towards the end of our stay, we noticed more and more black mould appearing on the walls in the bedrooms and bathrooms and the shower curtain had developed thick black mould on it. It is so sad that management has no passion for health and safety and cleanliness within the accommodation. The resort is 4 star, but the accommodation is far below that.. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the swimming pools were clean. The gardens and planting and lawns are stunning and the walks around the reserve and out onto the cliff tops quite breath taking. There is so much potential for excellent accommodation, but it appears not to be the focus of management at this time. Anke Geurts, Diretor-Geral at Rocha Brava Village Resort, responded to this review Dear Mrs. TraceyThank you for your feedback. We are sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.Regarding apartment 266, we do not agree that it was in a dangerous or uninhabitable condition. Following your concerns, our team responded promptly and arranged an alternative property for you during your stay. We also attended to all requests raised regarding cleaning and housekeeping.In the newly allocated accommodation, additional cleaning was carried out as requested, including detailed floor cleaning to the standard you specifically asked for. Our team worked hard to address every concern raised throughout your stay.We appreciate your positive comments regarding the resort grounds, pools, gardens and surrounding areas, and we will continue working to maintain and improve all areas of the resort experience.Anke GeurtsGeneral Manager

    nice hotel if you want to do self catering and provide your own entertainment

    rating06 Apr 2026

    I stayed at this hotel a few times with my family and it was pretty good, though there weren't any daytime activities. In the evening to get to the town you could either take a rather long walk or get a taxi. There was a good Indian restaurant nearby to the hotel which was very tasty, there is also a restaurant called rocha mar which went downhill a lot between our visits. The atmosphere used to be very chilled out by the pool but on our last stay there had been a warden put in place who was threatening and didn't allow any diving or pool floats or toys. The rooms were nice though me being a 6 foot teenager, I was given a small fold out bed which was uncomfortable and insufficient. Each room comes with a balcony and kitchen which are a nice addition for if you do self catering or bed and breakfast. Anke Geurts, Diretor-Geral at Rocha Brava Village Resort, responded to this review Dear Mrs. Grace,Thank you for your feedback and for returning to stay with us on several occasions.We are pleased you enjoyed the apartment facilities, balconies and self-catering options, as well as the relaxed atmosphere of the resort and nearby restaurants.Regarding the pool supervision, guest health and safety must always take priority. The pool rules, including restrictions on diving and certain inflatables or toys, are in place to help prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for all guests, particularly families with young children. Our staff are instructed to enforce these rules accordingly.We are sorry to hear the additional bed arrangement was not fully comfortable for your needs. We always encourage guests to contact reception during their stay so that, where possible, alternative arrangements can be discussed.We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again in the future.Best regards,Anke GeurtsGeneral Manager

    Beautiful resort, but not for relaxing by the pool.

    rating29 Mar 2026

    Lovely resort, beautiful grounds and gardens,Negatives, pity about the music around the pool area. I agree background music gives the bar an ambience but it doesn’t need to be so loud it can be heard around the pool, I go to relax not listen to the someone else’s LOUD music.

    Great place to play Pickleball and socialise.

    rating30 Nov 2025

    We went as a group for a Pickleball Holiday. The management team for the courts (led by Simon) was superb. They organised games with local players and other holiday makers and worked efficiently when clearing the courts for play after a morning of rain.The accommodation was basic but clean and the breakfast was lovely. The staff at the bars were also friendly and helpful.The resort itself appeared well maintained.The town is approximately a 30 minute walk but there are plenty of restaurants closer.

    Its ok but I wouldn't return

    rating07 Nov 2025

    The hotel staff are very dismissive. Not very helpful as regards guests. The little cafe is expensive and we noticed they double charged some of us. There's a little shop on site but its expensive. Rooms very basic. U need to get taxis everywhere its not near much. Anke Geurts, Diretor-Geral at Rocha Brava Village Resort, responded to this review Dear Mrs. Louise,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Rocha Brava.We are very sorry to learn that your experience with some members of our staff felt dismissive. Providing attentive and welcoming service is extremely important to us. If possible, it would be very helpful to know which department this occurred in, as this would allow us to identify the team involved and address the matter internally to ensure improvements are made.We also apologize for the inconvenience you mentioned regarding the caf? possibly charging some members of your party twice. This caf? is operated by independent tenants; however, we will certainly communicate your feedback to them, as such errors should not occur. If this was reported at the time, we hope it was resolved promptly.Regarding the supermarket, it is also privately owned and not managed by the resort. Nevertheless, we will pass along your comments about the pricing to the owners.For reference, Rocha Brava is located approximately 3 km from the centre of Carvoeiro. Close to the resort area there are five restaurants within walking distance, and we also provide a complimentary shuttle service to Carvoeiro three times per day for our guests’ convenience.We truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and restore your confidence in our resort.Best regards,Anke GeurtsGeneral Manager
