The hotel is located in the south of Portugal, in the centre of Praia da Rocha, about 50 metres from the sandy beach. In the immediate vicinity guests will find plenty of entertainment venues and night spots as well as a bus stop, and there are shops within a 10-minute drive.

The air-conditioned establishment features a typical Algarvian-style restaurant where guests can try the superb local cusine. Guests may also take advantage of the lobby area with its 24-hour reception, hotel safe, 3 lifts, and WLAN access point and there is parking available for those arriving by car.

All the rooms are equipped with a minibar, satellite TV, a direct dial telephone, a safe, a hairdryer and Internet access. They also come with an en suite bathroom, a king-size or double bed, individually adjustable air conditioning and heating and either a balcony or a terrace.

Santa Catarina Hotel enjoys an ideal position, just 50m from the beach and the resort centre where you will find a casino and many shops, bars and restaurants.

Praia da Rocha is the main beach in Portimão but it is also a bustling holiday resort in its own right. It became a tourist centre at the end of the 19th century, when it was the favoured summer resort of families from, not only Portimão, but also the rest of the Algarve and Andalusia; and in the winter with English visitors.

The Hotel da Bela Vista with its Belle Epoque architecture, dates from this time and stands out amongst the modern buildings along the beach front.

Praia da Rocha is ideal for anyone who wants to be close to a fantastic beach, have plenty of places to wine and dine or party until late. There is also a casino along the avenue that hosts a show every night, with dinner and dancing if you like, apart from the opportunity to have a flutter on the tables!

You really wouldn't need to leave the resort, so no worries about hiring a car if you don't want to. If you want to wander around the main shopping centre then Portimão is only a short walk or bus ride away.
