The overall impression of the hotel is very mediocre! It may spoil the impression initially Room (apartment) in which we are occupied, the number itself of course is good, but the neighborhood with garbage and parking lot are not impressed, asked for change, given a room overlooking the balcony, as well as a number of rooms in which there is...

We stayed here for a week in September and loved every minute of it. Hotel spotless, excellent food and the staff very friendly. Would recommend all inclusive, as it is well worth the money. All spirits are the known brands, rather than "local" and of course, generous measures. Food all freshly cooked. It is a quiet resort, don't go here... More

A really peaceful stay, nice and relaxing if dated surroundings. The apartment was plenty big with a fantastic enclosed balcony (great for my baby to crawl around without fear of losing him)!! One problem though was after a delayed flight, we arrived at 11.30am to be told that our All Inclusive package didn't start until 3pm. Of course we could... More

We were very happy in this hotel and would definitely consider going back. This wasn't a hotel that provided entertainment, though there is a sports bar with several pool tables, at an extra cost (6 euros per hour). All staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We were very impressed with them and particularly like the option of ordering from a... More

Went there mid-October, not half-term week, hoping to get away for a few relaxing days (Sat-Wed) in the sun and was hoping to get a bargain. I chose this hotel due to good reviews and the fact that is not in the main towns. Booked with 'A1travel', all inclusive, transfer, luggage etc total 500 quid, very nice. Had a double... More

As a group of early 20's couples, we found the hotel relaxing, clean and offering excellent service. The weather was superb as well, being over 27c every day (in October!!) Although a tad basic, it was very clean and i would certainly stay again. I will not go in to too much detail, as the positive reviews reflect this hotel... More

We didnt like it,but if you ask the chef,he'll cook you eggs however you prefer.... More

I thought that this hotel would be a good one seeing as how the rating on this site made it 30 odd out of about 160 in the region - but despite this I was still VERY IMPRESSED. We stayed here first week in October for 5 days - everything was fabulous. Bruno and Fernando in the restaurant bar go... More

We have stayed here three times now mainly in May and October on B+B. As a couple who's kids have flown the nest we are able to get away and found this relaxing location two years ago. The Balaia Mar fits our requirements. Quiet location, extremely clean with nice helpful staff and a lovely well cared for pool area. Although... More
