Jardins da Rocha

"Have stayed here several times because of location and friendly staff. However we had money and jewellery stolen from our apartment and thanks to the helpful receptionist we were visited by the police who told us there were two other robberies on same day. At no point have we ever heard from management and it has left us feeling disappointed and vulnerable. Would have second thoughts about returning here again."

"Avoid these apartments, we were here last year and thought it was ok as looking back now the room was probably just freshly painted and was clean, judging on that we booked for this year for 11 nights, to our horror the room was tired looking, really sqeaky bed, surfaces were grubby everywhere, lampshades broken, kitchen cupboard doors and drawers falling apart, they look ok until you open them, floor was full of black hair and dirt, chairs on balcony looked like they were from a pub from 1980s, we ended up buying cleaning products to clean the room ourselves. We did ask for a change of room but they didnt have any, the prices of these rooms are way overpriced. The stairs outside leading the the takeaway part and the pool are all broken, honestly dont go near this place. They show you all different rooms on website as if its the one apartment, looks like they take the best bits of the rooms and make it look like the whole apartment looks great, LIES. Oh they did send two maids up to inspect our room when we complained but by that time we had been to the shops and bought the cleaning products and cleaned the room! AVOID AVOID AVOID"

"Just returned from these apartments and I couldn’t fault them we had a lovely big apartment with two balconies both with a sea view and absolutely spotless. On arrival we had to pay 28 euro tourism tax and 20 euro for use of the pool area and you get a swipe card to enter, always sun loungers available and lovely and quiet you get the 20 euro deposit back when you leave. The only downside is they charge 1.50 per day if you want to use WiFi in your room and pool area but if you sit in reception it’s free. There’s a supermarket 2 minutes away and also very close to all the restaurants and bars. However a friend who we were with had cigarettes stolen from his apartment and another guest had 200 euro stolen and whoever it was had got in with a key as there’s no way in from the balconies unless it’s Spider-Man as the apartment was on the 9 th floor and too far from other balconies. But all in all it was a very pleasant stay and we would return. Make sure you book transfers as it’s over an hour from the airport and taxi cost us 120 euro on our return to the airport we ordered an uber which was much cheaper"
