We had a large clean one bedroom apartment. It was spacious but not overly comfortable. We had some trouble in the beginning with the heat as it was very cool, but it finally was solved. The kitchen was adequate for breakfast and small meals. We had a room with a terrific view. The indoor pool was very small...okay for children... More

We booked 5 nights at Balaia Plaza in August 2011, when we arrived we were told that there was no booking for us, I showed the confirmation e-mail but we were told there was only one room and we could not have it as there had been a problem with water, we later went to see the room and it... More

Was not expecting much from this Hotel for what we paid! It was great, very large apartment, cleaned 6 days out of 7. It was a little way from the restaurants etc. but a lovely walk in the evening down to Praia da Oura and a taxi back cost 3 euros 60, very cheap. Lovely outdoor pool and the staff... More

This Hotel is excellent value for the money my wife and I have stayed there 3 times now. However this year we stopped in early October during an un-expecteted heatwave. This showed up as a problem that we had not experienced before. This Hotel is a long way from anywhere of interest and a long walk is involved to get... More

On the plus side, the rooms are huge, the pool is great, the staff are friendly. On the minus side, there was zero entertainment in the hotel and it is probably built in the wrong place....a short taxi ride to the "strip" or "old town" where all the bars, clubs and restaurants are. (between 4 and 5 euros each way)... More

Hotel/Apartment rooms - The hotel it self looks lovely from the front. Lot's of parking space. We had an early flight so arrived at the hotel at 9am - check in time was 2pm. The receptionist said we could leave out luggage in the luggage room and check in the bathroom. Around 1pm we checked with the receptionist who said... More

We spent 7 nights in the suite for parents and two kids. The hotel is very quiet, clean and visually aesthetic. Room's design is a little bit arty-farty, especially the bedroom, but lack of taste doesn't bother so much when you are having fresh seafood on a roomy balcony with ocean view. Well equipped kitchen and minimarket open till 20:30... More

The Balaia Plaze Apart-Hotel is great for both friends and families on vacation. The fabulous aspects of this hotel were that it had an on-site supermarket (products were also reasonably priced) a nice bar and a small but efficient swimming pool. Most importantly for my friend and I, the apartment we stayed in was incredibly spacious, clean and generally fabulous,... More

We have stayed around this hotel over the past few years,and like the area as it is nice and quiet. The reason we picked this hotel this year was because of the price, as it was the least expensive we have payed over the last six years. After saying this I would also like to say that it was one...
