Disappointed

The apartments are spacious and contains equipment to cook your own meals if you need to. However, they are tired and need updating. A small shower over the bath but hot & powerful. We wouldn’t return here unless the t had been updated, I’m guessing in its hey day it was a beautiful place to stay.

The apt was not clean, it was supposed to be a 2 bed superior. The floor was filthy our feet were black. Had to go to reception ask for safe key which they could not find, had to carry our money etc around. 2nd day went back & asked again & safe got key. Went to reception again & there was no table on patio area only chairs. There was no fly net up at patio doors. The doors were very old & difficult to open & lock. Had to go back to reception five days into our holiday as no cleaning had been in. When she did clean she never wiped sinks, toilets, shower rooms, just mad the bed & washed the floor, they have soap dispensers in bathroom on wall & shower wall both empty. Pool area - bins had holes in so any rubbish fell through in & the bins were rusty not fit for purpose. some sun beds were broken. Only saw pool being checked once; pool guys came in the afternoon & wondered around. On one evening the sun beds & umbrellas were not put down, in the morning the umbrellas had fallen all over the pool area due to be windy the evening before. Pool toilet had no light as you walked down the stairs into the toilet, the toilets were not very good. The sun beds were dirty never washed down. There were 6 lads in three different apartments , playing loud music, swearing & drinking, no one spoke to them disrupting other paying guests, disrespectful. One good point The grounds are kept lovely especially by reception area. I wish I had taken photos now.

Could be better

When we arrived, we drove around for 20 minutes trying to find the check-in desk. Once checked-in, it was difficult to find our unit as it was dark and the lighting of pathways was poor. We did finally find our apartment which was spacious and included a full kitchen. The villa had a strong musty/mildewy smell. We immediately noticed the unit was in need of a major overhaul. Both toilet seats were damaged and obviously in need of replacement. There were other things in every room that needed to be remedied. The beds were uncomfortable and pillows flat. We would not stay here again.

Good location and the apartment was a good size and had all necessary amenities. However, the furniture is badly in need of updating as the couch was worn out and extremely uncomfortable. The bed was very hard. Cleaning was hit and miss. Lots of little maintenance items need taking care of. Sent an email to the property describing all these issues but never heard anything back. .

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

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!

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.
