If this is 4 star, then the rating system in Portugal is appaling. The hotel at it's best is 3 star. Transport to & from the resort is not worth discussing, as you have to walk everywhere! The only good thing was the room and the pool. Definitely would not recommend. more

As most reviewers have said this hotel is NOT 4star nearer 2.5. The only good thing about it is the rooms are large. But the drains smell fittings falling off wall .No english TV and no one cared. Furniture is shabby We paid euro 250 for a week thats a rip off for what you get the housekeeping was not... more

We read the reviews on this accomodation and were very impressed. But when we arrived we were most disappointed, the rooms are in need of a good cleaning, tiles filthy, bathroom smells awful, and in great need of decorating. We had no remote control for the television, and had no English channels on television, when we enquired we were told... more

Went for a week at the balaia and must say we all loved it. me 32, wife 30, children 16,8,7, and in laws 71 and 69. Rooms were very clean, large and had gret views. A little pricey and remote but with the Free hotel mini-bus to the towns, and back this was not to much of a problem. Would... more

Just back from 7 days at the Balaia Plaza with our 2 children aged 9 & 5. We felt that this was a good clean hotel was well equipped and has larger than average apartments - balcony was huge. We did have to wait 3 hours for our room but had an early outward flight - on the flip side... more

I stayed here for a week in August first impressions were good nice building with nice big rooms, though the view from the balcony was full of building sites building new hotels next door to the hotel, so wasnt the best view . The Appartment itself was nice and spacious but there wasnt anywhere to store all my clothes etc... more

We arrived at the hotel at about 10.30pm so were tired and hungary, we asked if it was possible to get some water and something to eat at this time of night, the receptionist who wasn't over friendly said we could get water from the bar. We went to the restaurant to sit down and the waitress said they had... more

Travelled back here for a week in mid June, wanted a quick cheap week in the sun to recharge, and it is exactly that. Rooms are very spacious, and it was handy to have one with a 'double' balcony. We were facing the road, which does seem to be somewhat busier than the last time we were here, and there... more

We stayed at the Balaia Plaza for one week at the end of May. The weather was kind to us and we only had one day where it rained in the morning. The accomodation cannot be faulted. The apartments are huge, spotless and have everything you need for your stay. The kitchen is large and well stocked with fridge/freezer, microwave,... more

I read many reviews before I left and like most decided to try for myself.As mentioned the apartments were huge but could have done with more drawer space.With two teenagers and lots of clothes the apt seemed smaller.There was a definite lack of sunbeds particularly during the local holidays.The apts were a good 30 mins walk from the main strip... more
