I went to this resort 22 yrs ago, when they were just thinking of building the marina. A lovely little resort back then, and was a great few bars with Taffy's bar at the opposite end of the road from the marina.
Thanks for the info I'm staying in Alvor this October and want to visit Pria Da Rocha. I will now keep away from those steps to the beach as that would be the end of my holiday.lol.
First went here 35 years ago. Was nothing there apart from a couple of bars and restaurants. Going back in June, can't wait it's changed so much. Great video Kevin.
I watch the Portugal vids trying to jog my memory, I went there a few times many many years ago probably early 90’s, changed loads (I think) good vids mate 👍
I was here when I was 20...so 38 years ago!! Outside our apartment there was just a dirt road, no more than a lane really. A few small stalls selling trinkets, and then straight down to the beach. It was fantastic even then, and you're right....still the best beach I've ever managed to find.
Lovely walk Kevin & the promenade & beach looked beautiful but those steps looked as difficult to walk as it sounded lol As always a great vlog & love your style xx👍👍
Stayed in the Squash apartments in the 80s when I was about 8 or 9 years old - still looks exactly the same! I remember they also moved us to a different hotel on another occasion (probably also the Columbia)
Stayed in Praia da Rocha last Oct/Nov for a month, was great, loved it. Trying to decide on going again this year or hit up thailand. Will be watching your videos to help in decision thanks.
Yet another great Video Kevin. I love Tenerife, we've had many fantastic holidays there as a family so it's great to see somewhere different. You've opened our eyes to taking a trip to the Algarve, it looks amazing. Thanks Kevin, keep up the good work for tourism. Cheers pal 👍 👍
@@ScotsmaninTenerife I'm watching another video of yours right now, the one you said you had a problem at the restaurant, when he said you were welcome to have only one coke, and then, he was complaining you didn't eat. I think you are totally right on this one, you were clear you didn't want to eat, only to have a coke.
Great video ...stayed till the end haha we have always stayed in Praia da Rocha but this year for a change we are going to Albufeira so looking forward to that and your videos have been a great insight keep up the great work
Hi Kev, fine video as always, the Missus and I have been to the Algarve a couple of times in the 90's, but I don't recognise some of it now, suppose that's progress. A fella is on his way home after a night on the beer when he comes across a Chinese Takeaway he hasn't seen before, goes in and asks the little guy behind the counter " what's the name of this shop ?", the little guy says "WOK WOK ", the lad says " WHO'S THERE". Take care buddy.
Hi Kev. not watched for a while due to work etc!!Breaking News...over 20k subscribers and growing!! Awesome!! There 4 years ago and no boardwalk just timber paths to beach!!! looks really swish now!!! All the best Kev see you in Teners at Xmas!!!👍👍
I'm thinking off booking for here Just bin looking at miracho or praia dia rocha hotel for November never bin to Portugal before what's like weather wise .is it worth visiting thanks

Hi Kev what's the Jupiter Algarve hotel like in Priaia da Rocha.
Thanks Derek 😊
Hi kev going in march have you got any recommendations on where to go in terms of restaurants and bars?
Hi Kev
Great video . Can you recommend any decent apartments near the beach ??
sorry was only there one day and dont recommend the ones i was in lol
Was it called the squash club because the rooms are small?😆
Lol
You can access the beach apparently on a slope for disabled by the Jupiter Algarve hotel.
Good info ta
Thank goodness
Is there any ramps for wheelchair or prams?
the beach area looks a bit run down now, i went about 3 years ago it seemed ok, probably just pandemic neglect.
I'm thinking off booking for here
Just bin looking at miracho or praia dia rocha hotel for November never bin to Portugal before what's like weather wise .is it worth visiting thanks
Mild in Nov I think
@@ScotsmaninTenerife as long as it's not raining I ain't that bothered tbh don't like it when it's to hot anyway 🤣
