Cruzeiro Apartments Hotel, Praia Da Rocha

The Praia da Rocha area is located amid the beautiful sandy and shingled beaches of the Portuguese Algarve along the southern coast of the country.

This southern coast is a stunning Mediterranean location and due to its famous beaches, clear waters and the considerable focus devoted to its heritage and culture, the area is incredibly popular with tourists from all over the globe. Visitors come back again and again to enjoy the rustic villages of Portugal, delectable traditional cuisine, beautiful sea and lagoons and the wide range of activities on offer. The Algarve also has wonderful weather, with over 300 days of sunshine a year and a dry, warm climate.

Location

The Cruzeiro Apartments are a modern hotel complex located very close to Praia da Rocha and offering spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. From the resort you can walk quite easily to the beach to enjoy a range of activities such as swimming, sunbathing and snorkelling. The beaches in this area also offer beach-side bars, together with lounger and umbrella hire services so you can really relax.

However, if you want to do more than enjoy the relaxing seaside lifestyle of the resort then you can take some time to explore the towns and villages of the Algarve. Praia da Rocha, with its bars, restaurants and clubs, is only a short distance away and has a lot to offer for the whole family. Portimao and its brand new marina are also close by and there are lots of arts and craft stalls and opportunities to see more of the local culture. Nearby there is a beautiful little village called Alvor where you can see the local fishing industry at work and really enjoy the just-caught flavours of local seafood in a range of authentic Portuguese restaurants.

Facilities

The Cruzeiro apartments themselves are well equipped and the complex is of a modern design with all of the latest conveniences and facilities that you would expect of an Algarve tourist resort. The apartments come in various sizes depending on what you require but all of them have their own private bathrooms with shower facilities, telephones, local TV and an in-room safe for your valuables. You can also order room service and an Internet connection is available. Disabled and handicapped guests are also well catered for.

The hotel has restaurants but many of the apartments also come with kitchenettes. The Cruzeiro apartments offer their own communal swimming pool and there is also a twenty-four hour reception service with friendly caring staff dedicated to offering top-notch assistance. Not only will they help you with any problems you may have whilst in the Algarve, but they can also help you to organise any excursions and answer any queries. There is also a foreign currency exchange for your convenience in the hotel.

Things To Do Nearby

The Algarve region offers a wealth of things to enjoy, ranging from trying your hand at scuba diving, water-skiing or snorkelling to sampling the local cuisine, driving around the winding country lanes or simply taking in the Portuguese architecture. You can also take boat trips along the shore to explore the Algarve coastline and its wildlife, or travel to the region’s capital, Faro, to see some local museums or enjoy some Portuguese shopping. There are also a number of water parks.

Whilst the Algarve region offers many seaside resorts that are well worth a visit, the region’s capital, Faro, remains one of the most popular excursion destinations. Faro is extremely picturesque with a bustling port area and a well preserved “old town” filled with typically Portuguese white houses. Whether you are looking for souvenirs, leather goods or jewellery, you should find plenty of choice with a range of markets, arts and craft stores on offer. Those looking for a fun night out will also enjoy the many lively clubs and bars in the towns of the Algarve.
