Balaia Mar

"Very good location, so close to all restaurants and shops. Hotel has 1 restaurant , ok for for Breakfast or quick lunch, Better options outside, walking distance. So have booked as room only. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were good size. 2 Swimming pools very clean. I will definitely will recommend and will go back."

"We were meeting friend in the area and only stayed one night. The room booked had two single beds but on arrival we were asked if we would prefer a double bed and we said yes, the bed was changed in a few minutes. The room was very clean and well maintained. The A/C in the room was very good. The reception is staffed 24-7, very friendly and helpful. Our Portuguese is very basic but the staff worked with us in English. We visited the bar area, large, clean and again friendly staff. Our friends used the pool and were very pleased with it. We parked outside the hotel, no extra charge but while parking directly outside is limited there is substantial parking in several areas nearby. There is a very nice beach 5-10 walk with a nice casual restaurant/bar. This hotel is rated three star and it certainly operates at that or above. Great staff."

"Just passing through this hotel in Albufeira for 1 night. Welcome not very warm or friendly. Room in rather good condition except for the toilet that leaks and the A/C that smells like pee.... Do not go to the hotel restaurant, we were the only 2 people one evening, nobody... 1 hour wait for 2 slices of lasagna that were industrial with the cheese on the lasagna that looked like rubber. In short, I do not recommend this hotel at €150 A NIGHT!!!!"
