Muthu Balaia Sol

gorgeous apartments, very well kept. basic rooms but i didn't go on holiday to stay in my room! the beds were very comfortable (and i'm quite fussy so that says a lot!). the only downside is the location - it's a 5-10 min walk to the main tourist street with the bars and restaurant, and a half hour walk to the Old Town. You can get buses but the are fairly infrequent. the beach was a 15 min peasant walk away. but i didn't mind this because the hotel itself was so lovely and the staff were very helpful (calling our transport and arranging a day trip). the pool was again basic, but well kept and private because of the location. very highly recommended!

The hotel was not explained to me fully by Expedia. There was no air condition and the room was very hot. No iron for ironing but overall the staff were great. Good place for family .

Staff are friendly and very helpful. Very quiet and some lovely views. Very clean and comfortable. Recommend individuals and families to stay at Balaia Sol Apartments. Not to far away from town.

Very clean but very noisy. Too far from the beach. We found we were having to go out alot because the pool area was so noisy.

This was our fifth visit in two years, the service and quality of the apartments, are among the best we have ever received. The gardens and pool area are a credit to them. The apartments are a little way from the main part of Albufeira, but with a hire car from the airport (prices of which are among the cheapest in Europe) is a useful saving on transfers and taxis in resort, and extends your sightseeing prospects.

This is the second time we have stayed here.Lovely small place to go for a quiet break.Only 15 minutes from the strip.Very clean place.

the only things that let this apartment down were that the beds were soooo hard, we were glad to get home just for a comfortable bed, the shower head had no bracket so you had to hold the shower head in one hand leaving one hand to shower with, not always easy and the shower cubicle was small, big problem for larger people!!! the only other fault was that there was supposed to be a courtesy bus to town but this hasn't started running yet so had to pay bus fare every day, although that was cheap enough anyway.

Hotel offers good value for money, location is ok but could be a bit closer to the strip and old town. Staff are friendly and helpful but charge 2 euros to phone a taxi for you. Snack bar is also expensive. Apartment was clean but basic.

Nice and clean

Very basic hotel.Charging to phone taxi was a bit much.Staff very helpful and friendly.A bit of a walk to the strip especially for people with kids.Pool clean but flies in it could be removed more regularly.Would recommend.
