Just returned from a 2 week stay in the Perola. The room was perfect and was cleaned daily with new towels provided. However the pool area was disgusting with cigratte buts lying around and in my time there I NEVER saw anyone washing or sweeping the pool area.

The thomson reps were brilliant, and the kids clubs were great. The... more

Our first visit to Portugal in Oct. 2005. We had no expectations aside from hoping to have a good time. The Perola, while in need of some updates, suited us just fine. We always choose to stay in aparthotels, as opposed to hotels,because that's the way we like it and the Perola didn't disappoint. Apt. was large, all was clean... more
