“The staff were friendly and welcoming but professional. Balaia Sol is one of my favourite places because it is not too big and crowded and I feel completely relaxed there. It is situated about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the town of Albufeira and there is a regular bus service.”

nice quiet location, quaint gardens and surroundings, nice walk into town, about 20-30 mins, basic but clean apartments, good place for relaxing holiday, but still within easy reach of many bars, restaurants and nightlife. 3 nice beaches within easy reach we arrived around midnight, checked and went straight to bed. due to our late arrival, it was around 9 before we got up next morning, and while showering and getting ready for the day, we thought we had heard the apartment phone ringing over the noise of showers and haridryers, but thought we must have imagined it as who would have been ringing us so early on our first morning. when passing reception on our way out for the day, someone on reception literally shouted "hey, number 15" at us to grab our attention and so we went into reception to see what the fuss was about. the staff member in question was extremely rude to us, and asked us why we had not answered our phone that morning, and demanded to know where we had been or what we had been doing. he then proceeded to demand payment for the room, even though we asked could we pay it on our return that evening, as our credit card was in the safe in our room, and we were just on our way out, but he insisted on being paid in full there and then. the staff member in question was really rude and ignorant, and could really do with learning some manners and some customer relations training. we had the booked the room for 10 nights, we were hardly going to run away and leave all of our belongings behind us. perhaps there has been an incident in the past when someone left without paying, but if this is the case, then they should maybe put a policy in place and let people know that they need to pay on arrival or as early as possible. its not a great first impression on your first day in a place to be yelled and demanded money from. towels were also only replaced 3 times in the 10 days that we were there, and the lighting outside some of the apartments was either very poor or non-existent

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the whole of the establishment is kept spotlessly clean. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Balaia Sol to anybody looking for a holiday in the Algarve.

Personnel accueillant. Les Apartamentos Turisticos Balaio Sol se trouvent dans un lieu tranquille et plaisant, jardin très bien entretenu néanmoins un peu loin de la plage et des commerces. Terrasse fort agréable donnant sur la piscine. Rapport qualité/prix décevant. Aménagement de la cuisine et décoration plutôt anciens. La climatisation serait nécessaire.

A tranquilidade que la havia... O que nao apreciei no apartamento eram a cama de casal que eram duas de solteiro juntas. O frigorifico era pequeno e o fogao so pa cozinhar demorava muito tempo mesmo...

Wie immer war es super... Nur das manche Turisten sich nicht benehmen können. Man muss nicht mitten in der Nacht Möbelrücken spielen.

A causa di un guasto, la nostra camera presso balaia sol, prenotata 4 mesi prima, non era accessibile. Lo staff dell'albergo ci ha trovato sistemazione analoga a pari prezzo, con stessi servizi e ci ha accompagnato direttamente presso la struttura.

Nos gusto el silencio,la piscina,el personal y que tuviese parking.El apartamento era pequeño,pero acogedor.Bastante limpio y algo reformado.Si no te quieres gastar mucho,ok.Eso si,hay que coger coche para casi todo,aunque esta relativamente cerca de todo.El personal,agradable. No nos ha gustado mucho el mobiliario viejuno y la decoracion,aunque para nosotros no es un gran problema,si que eso se podia mejorar un poco;muy escaso en utensilios de cocina,por no tener,no tenian ni cafetera(la pedimos,pero nos dijeron que no habia)y de sartenes tambien andan mal.

Um lugar bastante tranquilo ideal para descansar. As condições da cozinha eram insuficientes, pouca loiça e artefactos para elaborar refeições. Os esgotos do apartamento eram de má qualidade.

Trato del personal muy bueno. Ubicación relativamente cerca de playa. 15 min en coche. Escasa limpieza de la habitación y había hormigas en la ducha. Solo nos hicieron la cama una vez en tres días. No tiene aire acondicionado ni ventiladores. Tragaluces sin cortina ni persiana, a quien le moleste la claridad dormirá francamente mal.
