RR Hotel da Rocha
10/10 Excellent
"It is right next to the beach and all the popular attractions. Great room with plenty of space. Surprisingly there are no outlets in the bathroom. Had to plug my toothbrush in the outlet near the bed???

"Wonderful stay at the Belmar. Property is beautiful and well maintained. Our apartment in the main building was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the adults only pool. Great kitchen equipped with everything you need. Nice bathroom and wonderful king-size bed. Buffet breakfast included with the room was wonderful, best that we had on our trip. Would definitely stay again…"
