What an amazing hotel! We had a wonderful stay. Even in March, breakfast on the terrace was wonderful. Great room with a view. Fantastic cocktails in the bar. Highly recommend. If arriving by car, not that the hotel is on a one-way street that's blocked by a barrier. You will need a code from the hotel to open the gate. Google maps likely won't take you the correct way.

Our stay at Hotel Bela Vista in Praia da Rocha was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly special. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning — a beautifully restored historic mansion that perfectly blends classic charm with modern luxury. Every detail, from the elegant décor to the breathtaking ocean views, creates an atmosphere of sophistication and tranquility. The rooms are tastefully designed, extremely comfortable, and impeccably clean. The attention to detail is evident everywhere. The service deserves special recognition. The staff go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels cared for. One of the absolute highlights of our stay was dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented, creative, and full of flavour. Each dish felt like a work of art, perfectly paired with excellent service and an incredible seaside setting. Breakfast was another highlight — fresh, delicious and beautifully presented, Enjoying it with the ocean as a backdrop made it even more special. The location is perfect: directly on Praia da Rocha, with easy access to the beach. Absolutely five stars!
