We read all the reviews about the Balansat after booking our holiday and were dreading what we were about to find upon arrival. You can imagine how suprised we were to find the apartments gorgeous, clean and with no smell whatso ever. The pools immaculate and treated every single eening we were there. All bars, resteraunts in the resort were lovely with a wide choice of food to cater to all tastes.
This holiday was so good we are booking to go back this year

" We stayed half board at the Balansat... "
Submitted By: brightonrosie
We stayed half board at the Balansat Apartments. The stench from the room on arrival was unbearable. You could smell it prior to opening the door. It was impossible to sleep in the lounge due to the smell as it had made me physically sick.
The bathroom had a hole in the ceiling which poured water and plasterboard every time the upstairs occupants had a shower. The bottom of the bathroom door was completely rotten and the whole room smelt of damp and sewerage. We had emailed in advance to request a second floor sea view room but when we asked to be moved we mentioned our email and was told that emails are ignored unless you book your holiday through them.
We were unable to shower for 5 days for fear of the bathroom ceiling collapsing. On the 5th day the rep eventually moved us having forced her to view the room. The maids emptied the bins daily but that was it. The floors and toilets were never cleaned as this was up to us to do. Even the change of linen for the beds was just put on the end of the beds for us to make up.
The half board was taken in the joining restraunt. However we were made to sit in the back and had our own scrawled hand written menu which had every evening the following: starters, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and one other dish. mains, spaghetti with Bolognese or cheese, a fish dish and a meat dish, dessert: ice cream, fruit, lemon sorbet and one other dish. The pools were filthy having never been cleaned once during our stay. We used the other hotels swimming pools which were warmer had more shallow areas and 100% cleaner. You can use their restaurant buffet for 12 euros (worth every penny).
This could have been a beautiful quiet resort but the beach was spoilt by huge numbers of cigarette ends lining the sea edge. The resort can be covered in less than 10 minutes 5 minutes there and five minutes back. No water sports were available as it was too windy so it meant there was nothing to do. You do not have to pay the tour company's prices for trips as there is a fantastic small English run trip office next to the bureau de change. The guy who runs it took us in his own people carrier for the duration of our trip to Es Cana. He was friendly, a good driver and very reasonably priced.
