Dom Elena - Jardins Da Rocha

We stayed in room 2504 from 27/07/25 to 03/08/25. It was a lovely room with a comfortable bed and a massive pull-out sofa bed. The sea and mountain views were great. It's a short walk to the beach, and there are restaurants and a supermarket nearby. There was some road noise, but with the patio doors shut the room was quiet. The pool was clean and nice, with plenty of sunbeds. The room was cleaned several times during the week, and fresh towels were provided on three days.

We spent a month in a one-bedroom apartment on the 21st floor, with a double bed in the bedroom and an extra bed made up from the living room sofa. The views were beautiful, and the place felt safe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the maids cleaned often, changed the towels every other day, and took care of the bins. The kitchen was basic but worked fine, and we managed to cook dinner and prepare food most days. The location is great, about two minutes from the beach. Both pools were very clean and well maintained, and the smaller one was perfect for kids. There's a handy little shop across the road, while Aldi and Lidl are about a five-minute drive away. The apartment was super clean, and I'd absolutely recommend it for solo travellers, couples, or smaller families.

The reception staff are so nice, and the pool is fabulous with lots of sun loungers. The rooms are clean and have everything you need, and the air-conditioning was much appreciated in the warm weather. It's centrally located, with a supermarket next door. The lifts are very slow, so add another ten to fifteen minutes if you're in a hurry.

The view from the balcony is amazing, looking out over the beautiful beach, and the location is ideal, close to the beach and lots of restaurants. The hotel view is nice, too. The apartment kitchen is poorly supplied, though. There wasn't any soap or even a sponge for washing dishes, so you really need to bring almost everything.
