Where do I start? With the facts here we go! On first impressions we thought ' the rooms are big, it looks clean and well maintained!' how wrong could we be? Yes the rooms were huge, but we didnt expect our feet to be filthy black from the time we got out the shower at 5.30pm to the time we... more

I would definitely reccomend plaza real if you like self catering. they are very large and really well equiped if you like to cook.

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
