Algarve Hotel Guide - Vale Centeanes Beach hotels in Algarve, Portugal.

"Had THE BEST time here with my friends. We were a big party and the staff was incredible and accommodating to our needs for our entire stay. The sliding door was a bit difficult but that was literally the only complaint I have. The views, OMG, amazing. The outdoor pool was a bit cold but it's May so the weather is still getting warmer. Indoor pool was warmer. Smoke friendly outside and a cig vending machine inside. No ATM but they take card or charge to your room. The things to do around the area were plenty. Gonçalo was the best waiter for breakfast, we had him every morning. High praise to that man. Spa days were great. I had Marta and she was a dream. 10/10 would stay again. "

"Absolutely loved our stay. would come back again."

"It was an excellent stay. I will definitely come back again. Everything was good. Staffs were really helpful. Big thank you to Fiaz and Paulo."

"This was our seventh stay at Rocha Brava and it did not disappoint. The perfect place to have a quiet, peaceful and relaxing break in the sun!"

"We loved this small, welcoming hotel! Lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble, always friendly. Hotel was quiet when we stayed, with different nationalities- we often had the pool to ourselves. Only a small number of sunbeds, but always availability and nobody being difficult by putting towels on beds all day (maybe as hotel was quiet??) We didn't eat at the hotel, but the food from the bar area looked good...did have a number of cocktails which were excellent. The hotel does look a little tired in places externally but his didn't bother us, and it does feel very homely and relaxed. Our room was kept spotlessly clean, with fresh towels each day (they provide pool towels as well). The hotel is located in a quiet, mainly residential/ villa area, there's very little to do directly around, however it's a 10-15 min walk into town. The walk would not be for everyone....the area is quite hilly (especially the most direct route to town which we called cardiac hill)...we walk every day, so were OK with it, but it was a good workout even with a reasonably good level of fitness so not for the less energetic or less mobile. Carviero has some great eating places and fantastic walking/ rambling around the coastal caves. Very chilled, peaceful and an opportunity to recharge. If you're looking for simple relaxation then it is perfect-we will definitely go again. If you want a little more entertainment (or an easier walk) then head closer to town. "

"Fabulous hotel, friendly staff!"

"This property was recommended to us as a family stay and it didn’t disappoint. The whole booking process with Doug and Vrbo was faultless, as was his communication about the villa, directions and checking in process. There is an abundance of outdoor space which the kids loved; exploring the gardens, collecting oranges and playing in the swings and the pool was a hit with the whole family. The villa is clean and spacious and we enjoyed many a bbq in the courtyard, lunches by the pool and gin on the roof area while watching the sunset. The villa is in a very quiet setting but was very close to Carvoeiro town/beach/restaurants and local supermarkets. I would definitely recommend this property to anybody looking at the Carvoeiro area."

"A comfortable apartment in an excellent location. The spacious roof terrace has spectacular views of the sea and coastal path. We had several walks along various sections of the scenic trail. Parking is just outside the property and we were able to explore other areas of The Algarve."

"Such a lovely and relaxing trip to the Algarve- this was the perfect place to stay and unwind! Everything about the apartment was excellent and it is in a good location so that you’re 20 mins from the main town, Carvoeiro, but close enough to a beach 5 mins away - it’s so relaxing you can really unwind!"
