The apartments were lovely, clean and spacious. The Thomson Rep, Eileen, a great asset. The actual apartment site is wheelchair friendly, but outside is another matter. The kerbs are at least 2 foot high with no dropped sections. (obviously the Portugese do not adhere to dropped kerb european legalisation - as yet) The route to the main large supermarket is... more

My family and I stayed at the Plaza Real in October 2007 and again in May 2008. We really liked it there, and would definately go back again. The rooms are a nice size, although the second time we went there, the cleaning wasn't exactly up to scratch. The floors left us with feet so dirty they were black! There... more

On arrival we checked in quickly with no fuss, and on arriving in our room were pleasantly surprised at the size - through the door into a hallway with a large kitchen,... more

Having looked at the great reviews for these apartments we were looking forward to our stay. Unfortunately we were given Room 14 which is dark and dreary and the only window is too high to see out of and very small. It is near the games room and the only door leads out into a dark corridor. The room is... more

We stayed the first week in September with a one year old. A cot was made and ready for her arrival but not baby bedding was used - normal sizes was folded and used. Room was very big and clean. We overlooked the pool and although it was great the noise from the next door building site was a issue.... more

Our 2 bed apartment was huge with 2 floors, downstairs consisted of a large living/dining area with 2 sets of patio doors leading to the balcony, a big well equipped kitchen, downstairs toilet a large... more
