Absolutely gorgeous hotel! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Balaia. Would recommend hiring a car from reception on arrival as was the best deal we could find after spending ages looking online. Reception are so friendly and the apartment so spacious and kitted to the nines with all you need.

Everything was superb, from accommodation, food and services, the only slight downer was the mattress! Rooms had everything you would need.

Excellent value for money being out of season. Lovely, spacious two bedroom apartment which had recently been refurbished. Great pools even though some were drained as maintenance was being carried out for the new summer season, still plenty of other pools to use. Health club was also very good but could do with a few more up to date machines. I’ve stayed here before with my family before and would definitely stay again. Also I was originally allocated a room which was quite far into the complex so the staff member offered me another apartment near to reception and all other amenities, she was very helpful.

Nice apartments with good pools and grounds

Pros: Apartment quality and tv options (sky sports and BT sports). The pools were numerous and in great condition.
Cons: The welcome in the Varanda restaurant.
Location: The location wasn’t ideal for us with a pram, beach a bit tough to get to with not many food options around. Main Albufeira close but not walkable.
We made a late booking for the October period. The resort was excellent and quiet with easy access to the numerous pools all of which were great. The grounds were in great condition and tidied everyday. We didn’t try the golf course however it seemed popular, looked a bit short with trees being the key challenge. As we were a late booking our apartment was deep in the resort which was not ideal. The reception staff identified this when we wouldn’t have and rectified the situation moving us to a better spot and quickly moved the cot and high chair we needed. This was also done late at night. Life saver. The apartments were cleaned every other day and the cleaning staff were very friendly. Downsides were few however we had to pay for the cot and a high chair which I think should be free. Maybe I expect too much. Food options were limited with a baby in the village at night and also in the surrounding area. We were caught between day and evening menus which was problematic and the greeting in the restaurant was disappointing (felt like we were getting in the way). The heart of Albufeira is 5-10 mins in a taxi if you can be bothered. Obviously choice there is huge. Overall we would go back although maybe in the summer the quietness that suited us won’t be the same.
