This was my first time to Portugal and I can honestly say I loved every minute of it! The beaches in the Algarve are beautiful, the people friendly and the food delicious. The Balaia Golf Village is about a 15 minute walk from Albufeira town, there is a beach wiithin 10 minutes walk and there is a good selection of... more

Stayed at Balaia Apr 08 for 2 wks. Spacious 2 bed 2 bath standard apt with washing machine and dishwasher. 2 terraces 1 off lounge and 1 off bedrooom. Nice complex, lots of pools but too cold to use at this time of year. 1 heated one which kids enjoyed. Indoor pool fine. Quite far out for shops/restaurants, is walkable... more

We stayed at Balaia in early March 2008 and we were very happy with it. We got a late deal through Easyjet and given the high standard of our apartment and the overall complex we felt we got a great bargain. The weather was lovely- about 20 degrees most days, which was a bonus. The apartment was spacious and clean,... more

Upon arriving we were greeted at reception by very polite pleasant staff who gave us all the details needed for our stay, when we arrived at the apartment it was clean and functional. The Par 3 golf course is quite tricky and needs concentration, if you think this will be easy then think again. Balaia is located close to Albufeira,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Balaia Golf Village in Early October 2007, we booked a last minute holiday through Expedia. It was a really relaxing holiday and I would Highly Recommend Balaia. The grounds were lovely, a very peaceful place. The apartment was very spacious and well kept you could quite easily fit 6-8 people comfortably, the kitchen was... more

Stayed here in June 2006 and again in June 2007 which speaks for itself. It's a good place, however some reception staff could do with retraining in customer relations as they can be quite dour and unhelpful. It's a pity as this is the only real downside in my opinion but something management should address as there is no excuse... more

l feel that the reviews here are not genuine. I say this as the apartments are privately owned and they have hyped the Balaia Golf. The breakfast was awful when we stayed recently and waste of money. The reception staff were quite rude please note that they ask for a credit card when you book in even if you have... more

Even stayed an extra night. Gorgeous grounds, supermarket on the premises. Even the standard apartment is spacious, with fully stocked kitchen, and a washer. No in-room phone but thats sort of the point. The staff was more than what we could have asked for - we needed to get to Seville and were given all the options (bus, taxi, rental)... more
