"Jupiter Algarve Hotel & Spa - Praia da Rocha 💛✨
Oh, this place. It’s been so lovely. Spacious, spotlessly clean and genuinely friendly from the moment you walk in. The vibe is calm, relaxed and quietly brilliant.
Breakfast deserves its own round of applause 👏 - honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen. Everything you could possibly want: smoked salmon, Parma ham, endless varieties of bread, eggs in every imaginable form, pancakes, quiche (my personal favourite 😍) and yes… even a full English if that’s your thing 😉. It really is the ultimate start to the day.
The location is spot on - just above the beach. There is a fairly steep walk back up from Praia da Rocha, but with moderate fitness it was absolutely fine for me and totally worth it.
The pool is gorgeous 🏊♀️, the gym is properly good, and the spa is genuinely world-class - calm, luxurious and exactly what you want when you’re there to rest and reset. It’s such a good value stay.
A couple of very minor niggles, just to be balanced: our view wasn’t the best (first floor, mostly roof), and the bed wasn’t the comfiest I’ve ever slept in, but I am a hideous insomniac, so take that with a pinch of salt 😅.
Food-wise, we can absolutely recommend Carninho for delicious ribs and classic Portuguese dishes and Le Dolce Vita for pizza, friendly fun service and the most unique, delicious prawn starter 🍤.
All in all - top marks to Jupiter Algarve Hotel & Spa!"
