Mirachoro Praia da Rocha

Overall had a great 6 days here, staying in a 1 bed apartment with 1 adult and 2 kids. I did ask for twin beds when booked but ended up with a double. Wasnt fussed enough to ask to be moved. The apartment building was separate from the main building but this wasn't a problem. Its just over the road. Everything in the apartment was in working order although quite noisy early mornings with cleaners. Lots of banging and scraping of furniture along tiled floors above our apartment. Not a lot of Utensils in the apartment either. No sharp knife or sieve etc. We just had baguettes and cheese etc but if you're wanting to cook meals then could be a problem. Pool area big enough, never too busy, nice grassed area away from the pool if you don't want to get splashed by kids. Good selection of cafe type food. Lots of different drinks available. There is a large cupboard of books you can read or leave yours there for others. Staff all lovely and really helpful. Location is a little out of the way. I knew that when booked. Aldi and Lidl supermarkets only a 10 min walk so handy to nip out for morning pastries, but a bit too far to head out in the evenings for food unless you get a taxi. It is walkable, about 20 mins but not the nicest of walks along main roads. Free shuttle bus to beach and town very convenient in the day but be good if they provided a later one back than 16:00. Definatley value for money for a cheaper end summer holiday get away. I would happily stay here again with the kids.

Myself and six friends stayed at the Mirachoro in July and had the best time. The pool was the perfect size, the location was great, not too far from anything. The rooms were immaculate and the pool bar had a great selection. Thankyou for a great holiday

Positives Friendly staff Good prices Good rooms for the money Negatives Busy road goes past pool area Some decor needs updated Good to know before you go... - No lifeguard at pool -£5 min card spend at bar -Take a bank of euro coins for pool table as very little change at reception. Bar doesn't handle cash - you feed it into a machine. -4/5 euros for Uber to bars and restaurants - on a hill - major supermarkets and McDs 10/15 min walk downhill -visit Alvor - 10 mins in Uber - 5 euros ***UBER APP WAS SO USEFUL***

Great hotel room spacious all you need comfy bed and so quiet !!! Be sure speak to Ali and Sonia in bar very nice people. Snack bar cheap and good , must the boat trip to caves €30 pick up hotel spectacular . Close to beach and town , great food restaurants in both areas
