Hi just came back from Hotel Balaia Atlantico a few weeks ago and it was great!!!! .The rooms are huge, clean, modern and all air conditioned, cleaners in everyday fresh towels e.t.c..The food was a bit repetative and although we were all inclusive we did eat out 4 nights out of 7, which is no hardship after all you are on "holiday".The pool is excellent and pool bar well equiped for the all inclusive family ie; 2 adults and 2 kids aged 7,8, burgers, hot dogs, chips and all the usual stuff to quit a high standard.There is not much going on at the hotel during the day for kids but this might change in high season, no music at pool either but plenty drinks compenstes for this, all in all very relaxing and stressless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, entertainment at night is poor and could be tweeked as at the moment nobody attends, a big thanks to "NUNO" and "BIMA" the bar staff from the pool bar they were great, 6euro's for a taxi to town plenty good restaurants which are quite dear with a whiskey and coke costing 5.50 euro and a big beer 3.50 euro it can run on a bit.Book it now you wont be dissapointed at all.

Well where do I start , The hotel is awasome the apartmants are kept very clean, The pool and the surrounding area is also immaculate, The staff are very friendly and their ability to speek fluent engish makes me quite lazy in attempting to learn a little of the local language, The food here under the all inclusive daeal is a must.

I went away with 300 euro thinking I would need to draw out more funds after the first couple of days of a 1 week stay but found myself returning home after one week with 100 euro in my pocket.

My two children aged 4 & 6 ate at the pool side bar ( nuggets and chips for lunch) and then when we took them to lunch with us ate other items that were on offer at the buffet.

This is without a doubt the best holiday i have had, there are a couple of bad points that are far outwayed totally by the good.

There are no double bed's, The sofa beds are not the most comfortable.

Oh and if you wanna see a bit of the area hire a car for a similar cost to a transfer from the the airport to the hotel.

I can't wait to go back

We holidayed at the Balaia Atlantico on an all inclusive basis, this was great as we have a young child. The food was varied and staff were very polite and welcoming. I panicked a bit as the restaraunt is all white tablecloths and white chairs, mix that with a toddler and spaghetti bolognese!!!
I enjoyed the food on offer, some people I spoke to said that the food wasn't warm enough, but I was more than happy.

We stayed thursday to thursday, the hotel was relatively quiet until friday night - sunday afternoon, between these times the hotel is taken over by spanish residents/ holidaymakers. I found the pool bar was over run, (only one staff serving) spanish were quite rude, did not apologise if they bumped into you. The children ran riot around the pool area, as many as 10 children in the jacuzzi at one time ( as the pool was a tad cold!)
Once sunday was over the hotel was great once again, apparently spanish people tend to visit the hotel every wknd so be warned!!

The hotel evening entertainment was limited, usually a keyboard player or an accordion player!?!!? With a little more thought on booking better entertainment the hotel would be spot on.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, I read a lot of reviews on trip advisor before my holiday, my advice, if you want a relaxing holiday book it and experience it for yourself!!

couldn't fault the room in any way, very stylish and great views.
didn't eat at hotel as reviews were bad so went into town or cooked in room!
bit out of the way of everything but taxis about 5-6 euros and free bus to town 7,10,12,3,5,7,8pm.
room has air con and a good hairdryer in bathroom!
we were on 4th floor and had sea view in distance but pool view was excellent!
drinks are bit pricey unless you go all inc.
staff very friendly especially Fatima on desk!
for comfort I definately recommend this hotel just the location lets it down!
there is a shop on site but doesnt sell great deal and is not that cheap so recommend going on free bus to sister hotel then walk slightly up road to big supermarket!
liked the music in every room that was nice change!
weather was bit hit n miss and they put up weekly report but I wouldn't advise reading it as it could be cloudly one minute and sunny next!!
