Balaia Golf Village Resort

The conditions of our rooms were beyond horrible. Mildew all over bathrooms. Torn linens on the beds. This was not acceptable and made for a very uncomfortable stay. One of the rooms was definitely better with clean linen and the place itself was well kept. The other room was not clean. The drawers were hanging off hinges, Ants everywhere we had to actually buy cleaning products to make the stay bearable. The comforters were ripped and smelled horrible, pillows were terrible and we had to cover them with towels to be able to sleep on them. The kitchen was old and greasy. We were very upset with the conditions of this room. The staff were fine but not very accommodating.

La limpieza de los pisos bastante mal - la zona exterior es sin duda la mejor parte de todo el resorte.

Property rooms were dated, dirty, linens were ripped and smelled, mildew all over bathrooms. Would not go back.

Property is relatively basic but meets its description. If you want a spacious, self catering apartment with several pools, a close beach and away from the main social scene of Albu then this place will suit your needs. Pillows were awful.

Clean, basic accommodation..very very spacious.

Nice place, good sized villa, golfing on site. Staff is pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Typical European single, uncomfortable beds, but we bought a mattress topper and joined the beds for a king sized cozy sleeping accommodations. Over-all it’s good value for the price.

We chose a superior 1 bedroom which was a good size but very dated inside needing some TLC. However, it was clean and comfy and within walking distance of Albufeira and Olhos de Agua for bars and restaurants.

Lovely resort. Receptionist fantastic at check in.

This property is like if a private equity shop bought a nice resort and then ran it into the ground by doing everything possible to cut costs. We arrived at check-in at 4pm and couldn’t check into our room until 5:45pm. On our checkout day, the housekeeper rang our doorbell at 9:45am so that she could turn over the room for the next guest. The Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room were broken when we were there. All of the amenities they offer cost an additional amount (tennis courts, golf range, bowling, bicycles) that’s above market rate. Our room also did not have soap, shampoo, or conditioner. The windows didn’t have screens on them so we had a lot of bugs in the room including ants. The one plus was that there was a wash machine in our room and it was about a 10 minute walk from the beach.

Very family oriented
