We stayed at the Paladim having booked a package through Thomas Cook. Our one bedroom apartment with balcolny (apparently these all overlook the pool whereas we understand that studios look out onto the main road) was spacious and the facilities were more than satisfactory for our requirements (which was really only to cater for breakfast). There was a fridge, kettle,... more

I have just returned from a week staying at the Paladim and cannot praise it highly enough. The appartments are accessed from corridors just like hotel rooms so they are secure and safe. and immaculately clean. The front desk staff are efficient and helpful and the location is great, halfway between the old town and the strip which has bars... more

As I have just returned from these apartments, can I please say that as a previous review, do not believe the bad reviews as they are nothing alike. We had a very enjoyable stay in these apartments. We were in a one bedroom one which was very spacious. The apartment was cleaned every day apart from Sunday as is a... more

Firstly, don't believe the negative reviews on this place. The room are not massive but are large enough for there purpose. You have a seating area which includes the sofa/bed and a kitchen area. I would like to raise a point with regard the the "pull-out" beds. The first thing we did when we arrived was pull out the bed... more

Thomas Cook -drop this hotel now. If you are thinking of staying here -don't! 1. If you book a studio you will be presented with a one person camp bed which you will have to wheel out and put next to a rock hard sofa, enter backache and a not very romantic prospect if you are not on your own.... more
