Apartment was vast, quiet and quite comfortable. Kitchen modestly equipped. The public areas are huge and there is a restaurant in the adjoining sister hotel which served an excellent breakfast, reasonably priced. We found the staff helpful, particularly when we needed to... more

We've just come back from what will definitely be our last visit to the Balaia Plaza. The hotel has really gone downhill. In the past we have received great service at this hotel, but not on this occasion. The receptionist when we booked in was unbelievably rude - not... more

This was our first visit to Portugal and generally overall was impressed with the hotel. Reception staff were friendly and helpful especially Sandra. On site shop well stocked and obviously the things that Brits abroad seem to want to buy like Kellogs cornflakes, Heinz... more

Great hotel- really big apartments, clean pool, air conditioning, friendly staff- happy days! It is quite far from the strip, but that's okay if you're a family and you just want to be by the beach and away from the tacky area! My boyfriend and I spent most days at the... more
