| said: We stayed in studio's at the Paladim. The studio's were well spacious but cluttered with unnecessary furniture. The maids came 6 times a week and did a really good job. The only complaint I could make is the beds. One was the sofa and the other was a bed that pulled out from under neath which squeaked every time you moved. The pool was clean and the snack bar was excellent. The snack bar has an happy hour from 1 till 5 and sells a pint of lager for €1.50, it also serves really cheap snacks all day. The hotel is in a good location as is situted in the middle of the old & new town. If I were to stay at the hotel again I would try and book a one bedroom apartment as they are much nicer. Overall I would give the hotel a 3 star rating definatly not a 4 star hotel but was cheap and worth the money we paid

| said: when we arrived outside this hotel we thought o my god!!! we went in to the reception area staff was polite, we then went to our apartment which was clean and spacious over looking the pool. in the bar area we found two of the staff very friendly a brazilian man and a english girl, and food was ok depending on what you like to eat as it is quite basic, entertainment is only 3 nights per week, the pool area is cleaned daily however we felt the water was very cold, but this helps when you want to cool off, we would defo go back to this hotel again!!!

| said: We could not fault the hotel on cleanliness, maid service is daily (except Sundays).
We had a lovely pool view and our balcony got a lot of sun. Be aware though that studio rooms do not have a seperate bedroom, it is a fold out sofa bed.
Although we were self catering we did sometimes get some food from the hotel i.e. breakfast/lunch and it was good.
We did not think the hotel location was the best, although there is a taxi rank 2 mins from hotel, 3.25 euro for taxi to old town/the strip, or 15 mins walk.
There is a large supermarket next to hotel.
Hotel staff were polite and very helpful.
We were out everynite so did not experience the hotel entertainment but we did go back early one nite and the entertainment was very,very good.

| said: Was pleasantly surprised on arrival - apartment was clean, spacious, and controllable air con in each main room. Balcony did face onto the road (as warned in the brochure), but the double glazing kept most of the noise out.
The beach felt like along way away, but a decent supermarket was less than 100 yards away which partially made up for it.
Hotel staff were good, rooms cleaned and towels/bed linen changed daily, but they were oddly tight on toilet paper - we ran out most days...

| said: This hotel was very good value for money. The one bed apartment was excellant as it was so spacious...especially the balcony over looking the pool area. However.....I was really disappointed to find the pool area totally swamped with seagulls. They pecked away at the sun loungers, destroying most of the foam inside of them. There also wasnt enough cushions to go around all the beds. In the week we stayed I only saw the pool being cleaned twice...it was supposed to be cleaned every morning.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. There wasnt much entertainment at the hotel, however when there was entertainment, it was very good! The hotel is located a fair walk away from the strip and the beach. However there is a train that takes you right from the old town to the new town, this stops a short distance away from the hotel.

| said: We stayed in the Paladim apartments. They were very clean and the staff were very friendly. We travelled out of season so apartments were full of long stay old people.
The entertainment was based around the older people ie Bingo Quiz nights and a Hank Marvin sound/lookalike (NOT) person.

| said: The hotel was very clean and tidy with towel change and maid service every day except Sunday. Rooms are air conditioned which was a luxury to have.
Our only problem was on arrival when we were shocked to discover a lounge and kitchen area plus a bathroom. There was no bedroom and didn't realise the small sofa was in fact our bed which required pulling out and making. The mistake was our fault as we had misread the brochure! We were lucky to upgrade to a one bedroom apartment which was much bigger (bigger balcony as well) which we couldn't fault. This seemed to be a common problem as we noticed another couple the following morning had the same concern and we were told by the receptionist when we changed that it is a common mistake by people booking.
Pool was a good size, hotel staff were okay but some a bit miserable. We went self-catering but the food we did have from the restaurant was pretty good.
Location was okay but had to walk a bit to get anywhere. Good thing is that the taxi rank is just outside and also a train stop (wheeled train that drives on the road) which charges 3 Euros each for use all day.
Would recommend but make sure you go for the one bedroom apartment!

| said: The location of this establishment was excellent, within walking distance of old town and new and central for supermarkets.
The only problems were :- If you did not get a 'pool view' apartment then you had to suffer very busy main road which was very noisy 24/7 and did not get the sun on the balcony until after 5pm.
The other problem was seagulls! The pool was inundated with them! They would drink from the pool, clean themselves in the pool and use it as a toilet - generally they dominated the pool area a lot of the time. We were 'bombed' on every day of our stay! Not pleasant!
This would be a lovely place to stay if they could overcome this problem.

| said: The hotel we stayed in was one of the best hotel/apartments I have visited on my travels.
The room was spotless and very well maintained the self catering facilities were excellent and the room came with air conditioning which was very good news as it was very hot those two weeks.
The location of the hotel suited us fine as it was in the middle of the resort, ten minutes to the old town and ten minutes to the strip in the other direction. It was also very close to the two main supermarkets and McDonalds was just across the road. If you don’t like to walk the taxi rank was just down the road and was not expensive.
The hotel staff were very helpful and always polite and very friendly.
The entertainment was excellent the nights that we saw it because there was so much going on in the old town and the strip we ventured out most evenings.
