10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely fantastic self catering accommodation, our apartment overlooked the driving range, very quite with a really nice small pool near by. Well stocked and maintained apartment on a nice quiet site conveniently situated for surrounding golf courses. Not much very close and everything was an UBER ride away but would reccomend for anyone travelling to the Algarve for a golf trip, fun little par 3 course on site and loads of fantastic courses within 20/30 mins. Albufeira is a bit lively but found some nice restaurants and the beach is really nice, I will definately visit this site again

Property is relatively basic but meets its description. If you want a spacious, self catering apartment with several pools, a close beach and away from the main social scene of Albu then this place will suit your needs. Pillows were awful.

Excellent base, great for travelling with teens
Excellent base, quick 10 mins Uber ride to Albufeira Old Town, plenty of great dining options within walking distance too. Plus onsite restaurants which we didn’t try as wanted to eat out. Resort has six generous pools, we tried them all, our 2 bed apartment was single story and our patio was right next to one of the pools. Had our own deckchairs which was heaven! Apartment was a little dated and decor could be modernised a bit (apartment 418) but it was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Perfect base for families. Would definitely come back to Balaia! We had such a chilled week!

Nice place, good sized villa, golfing on site. Staff is pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Typical European single, uncomfortable beds, but we bought a mattress topper and joined the beds for a king sized cozy sleeping accommodations. Over-all it’s good value for the price.
Raymond, 28-night trip

8/10 Very good

We chose a superior 1 bedroom which was a good size but very dated inside needing some TLC. However, it was clean and comfy and within walking distance of Albufeira and Olhos de Agua for bars and restaurants.

Valentina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They were very accommodating when I had an issue. Small supermarket/cafe within complex as well as a spa/salon. Very quiet. Short walk to restaurants in the area or a 4-5 Euro taxi/Uber to nearby town or 7-8 Euro taxi/Uber to Albufeira. Maria Luisa beach is a 10 minute walk away.

Property was very nice but missing vacuum cleaner (self catering with children) also info on page is incomplete indoor pool is at additional payment
Grzegorz, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

The conditions of our rooms were beyond horrible. Mildew all over bathrooms. Torn linens on the beds. This was not acceptable and made for a very uncomfortable stay. One of the rooms was definitely better with clean linen and the place itself was well kept. The other room was not clean. The drawers were hanging off hinges, Ants everywhere we had to actually buy cleaning products to make the stay bearable. The comforters were ripped and smelled horrible, pillows were terrible and we had to cover them with towels to be able to sleep on them. The kitchen was old and greasy. We were very upset with the conditions of this room. The staff were fine but not very accommodating.
ana, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was amazing at the Balaia reception. The cleaning staff was okay, not great. The beds are terrible. Hard as rocks and the pillows are unacceptable. Time for the Balaia rentals to get decent beds and bed sheets and blankets. I will not stay there again .
Raymond, 28-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful but with a room for more improvement
The place is beautiful and relaxing, I could stay there for 2 weeks or more because of how close it is to Praia Da Maria Luisa and to the other shops. The restaurants nearby are also cheap but offers good food - fresh fish and delicious kebabs. Though I’m not a fan of the resort’s restaurant which is the Varanda. Also there’s a lot of lovely pools to choose from. The indoor pool area definitely needs more cleaning and jacuzzi was not working. But overall I like it because of how simple but elegant it looks like. It was not too crowded as well when we got there. Also, I believe that the apartments are like a residential places to rent.
Jhoanna Mariel, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

While I didn’t get a chance to play the 9-hole course or use other amenities, I quite liked our 2 BR condo. It was spacious, clean and had 2 usable bathrooms. The decor and overall property showed its age but it served our purpose as our Albufeira hub admirably. We appeared to be the first occupants of the shoulder season so had to air out the condo. Cleaning crew came twice during our stay. There’s an on-site grocery and cafe that is convenient if you need to stock up. Dining options are within walking distance including couple Indian restaurants! Beach is nearby as well and getting to other parts of Algarve is convenient as well. Apartment had 2 nice sit outs out back that we didn’t use on this trip.
Sriram, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property is like if a private equity shop bought a nice resort and then ran it into the ground by doing everything possible to cut costs. We arrived at check-in at 4pm and couldn’t check into our room until 5:45pm. On our checkout day, the housekeeper rang our doorbell at 9:45am so that she could turn over the room for the next guest. The Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room were broken when we were there. All of the amenities they offer cost an additional amount (tennis courts, golf range, bowling, bicycles) that’s above market rate. Our room also did not have soap, shampoo, or conditioner. The windows didn’t have screens on them so we had a lot of bugs in the room including ants. The one plus was that there was a wash machine in our room and it was about a 10 minute walk from the beach.

8/10 Very good

We stayed few days in July mainly as has golf course , lovely resort , great for a chilled out break , clubhouse lovely just a pity isn’t open later in evening , restaurant mmmm , it be a no from us , went first morning for breakfast, the drinks area overrun with ants but girls serving must be used to it as nobody seemed to do anything about it. So was a no to eating there , shame as not much in way of restaurants immediately beside resort , we did found if you turn right at hotel entrance and walk 10 mins this takes you to busier area with restaurants bars. Apt fine , a little dated but clean enough , again outside terrace area was overrun with ants ,,, pools were lovely, as were snack bars and staff serving , never to crowded and water very clean , pool attendants great as very laid back , all kids we seen seemed to have great fun with inflatables , will definitely return, bear in mind this is very large resort we landed lucky to be quite near entrance and pool but a good walk if you further back. Apt 111 near reception got sun most day on terrace and pool 2 min walk , spar and a supermarket both just outside entrance . First visit portugal loved it , they also have uber which is great , 33 euro, faro airport to Balia resort, uber pik up to left of airport exit, behind outside cafe , Golf 60 euro a day this included hire of clubs shoes , you could play all day if wanted ,my hubby went out around 9am and played course then back at 3pm for another round(closes at 6) .

4/10 Fair

The reception staff were fantastic, super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. However, all the outdoor pools were unheated and freezing. The indoor pool was tiny and run down. The jacuzzi was lukewarm. The sauna & steak room were being used as a storage facility. The gym was very run down, tiny and did not resemble the photos on Expedia or resort website one bit! The food in the restaurant was appalling - do not put yourself through it! €18 for evening buffet is an absolute joke for what was served. Poor quality food, no labels saying what each item was, limited availability of food and it was cold. We stayed in a superior 1 bed apartment, this was also a great disappointment. Compared to photos online we were put in an older run down apartment that looked nothing like photos we made the booking based on. The bedroom was also damp as well. We asked to see another room and they deliberately showed us one that looked out onto main road that had a fly issue out the back so that we wouldn’t move. All in all, very disappointing - especially for the money we paid! Definitely expected better.
