Restaurant Amendoeiras
The main restaurant serves a mix of buffet and à la carte international dishes for breakfast and dinner. Expect a classic hotel spread in the morning and a changing set-menu format in the evening, with several choices of starter, main and dessert.

Restaurant Aladino
An à la carte dinner venue with an intimate, grown-up feel, ideal if you fancy dressing up for the night. International cuisine is the focus, with a smart dress code (no beachwear).

Restaurant Rochedo
Set right on the beach (typically open July–September, weather and occupancy dependent), Rochedo is the go-to for relaxed lunches and snacks between ocean dips.

Restaurant Zodíaco
By the poolside, Zodiac keeps things easy with à la carte lunches and light bites so you don’t have to leave your lounger for long.

Bars
The adults-only Panorama Bar opens into the night with drinks, light dishes and sea views, while the Sunset Bar in the lobby is your all-day stop for coffee, cocktails and people-watching.

A smart casual dress code may apply in some venues. Reservations or supplements can vary by board basis and season; always check the latest details on arrival.

Outside, the focus is firmly on the ocean.

• Two outdoor saltwater pools – a main pool and a separate children’s pool, both with surrounding sun terraces, loungers and parasols
• Heated main pool – typically heated from 1 April to 31 October, ideal for early and late-season dips
• Free pool towels – save luggage space, with towel service included
• Direct beach access – stroll from the hotel grounds straight onto Praia da Rocha’s broad sands, backed by towering cliffs and lapped by clear Atlantic water
