It was my first time at a Club Med resort and I would definitely recommend the da Balaia resort. On arrival in Faro, we were met at the airport by a rep who had our keys, labelled our luggage so it went to our rooms directly. We did not have to spend time checking in. The GOs are very friendly... More

If you like sports, relaxing, a friendly admosphere and good food, you will enjoy this club. The hotel room we got was not the newest, but it was clean, spatious and had a nice terrace with a beautiful view of the minigolf and ocean. The GO-team, headed by Chef Bruno, was very kind and most helpful. We visited at the... More

The village was well organized. The food very good with plenty of choices, although you better like fish! The desserts are difficult to resist, although there was plenty of fresh fruit. GO's really dedicated warm and friendly. Attentive staff. The excercise clases were great and 'footing' or hiking challenging. The property is on a large piece of land and it... More

We just got back from a lovely 2 weeks in Da Balaia that can be summarized as a very good holiday. As we are a couple with 3 years old and it was indeed family-friendly hotel. As it was our third Club Med experience, it was as pleasant as before. We stayed in Golf Hotel which is more appropriate if... More

I wasn't sure what to expect as my husband and I have never been to an all-inclusive resort but we were really pleasantly surprised! Booked directly with ClubMed and had no issues. Our transfers to and from the airport were well organised. We stayed in the Golf hotel with an interconnecting room, was perfect for us, our 9 month old... More

There are loads of sports to do or just chill on the sunbeds by the pool, or on the lawn or by the sea. Always loads of sunbeds available. Recommend the... More

Just back from a lovely week of sunshine at Da Balaia. We did have a great holiday but certain things have slipped since last year. . The baby corner was a disgrace. I wouldn't feed that food to my dog! Tough beef, dry pieces of chicken floating in water, tinned carrots, - really poor. They serve soup, cheese etc but... More

My friends and I booked 3 rooms to travel in July. Club Med charges per person not per room since it is all inclusive. I had a medical condition and the doctor ordered me not to travel for the next 3 months. My friends went ahead and went there on vacation, including the friend who I was supposed to share... More

Firstly we arrive to find all lessons for children have stopped! Secondly the pool is not cleaned properly Example: a child had pooed in the pool, a member of staff was alerted, who proceeded to use a net to take it out, then they use the same net with the poo in to collect other debris in the pool.... Everyone... More
