just back from a 1 week holiday staying at the club praia de rocha hotel,
first thime to stay at this appartment complex, large reception area, good staff friendly enough but could be a little more helpfull, in good location to the main strip only a 7 min walk away, but some footh paths can be hilly to get there. be warned!
was using the inter-net in lobby area in reception €2 for 20mins that go in extremily fast when you have language probliems to deal with & diffrent keyboard settings, they just dismiss everything you ask them including when screen just freezes, help quite important when you only have 20 mins to type up a message home, or to work. not worth the hassle... found a english pub called barnies around the town & you get half an hour on line for 1 euro & 1 hour for 2 euro after 7pm in their pub. great value & helfull staff there & great beer too...
The appartment rooms are basic, kitchen/dining area is large enough,but no basic equipement for the Irish or English travler like a toaster,or a kettle, microwave ( you have to rent these items) just a 2 ring electric hob & a fridge small portable t.v. in kitchen-livingroom area also has to be rented. It would not break the bank for them to give you the use of these few basic items as you may not even use them much anyway even if they were there for your use, it's just to much penny pinching in our minds.
bedroom has two single beds,that were very cofortable, however during our 7 day stay the bed clothing was never changed, as stated in brochure it would be canged once in the week
cleaners were in every day bins & bath towels changed, dont think floor was cleaned everyday.
bathroom was just ok, there was black mold spoors on the ceilling, the only good thing about it had a good shower nozzle with plenty of on tap hot or cold water when needed.
could do with a make over in the neer future. ask to stay on 4th floor as we found it quite & you could be put on any floor up to the 15th i think. a lot of steps down if lifts happen not to be working, just somthing to think about! it does happen you know.
the swimming pools were clean & around the poolside area was very clean, they also have an indoor pool also, usefull on cloudy or rainy days in october, there was a poolside cafe also good value for food. you had to hire sun loungers for €1 a day p.p.
yet more hiring of basic holiday items, paid €158 for appartment for two people for 1 weeks holiday really not bad value, if all the other little things didnt matter as much
it was an fair holiday price, but would have to have a few more creature comfords nextime
might consider somewhere else in praia de rocha for simler price with more included.
