we go to the balaia golf village every time we can and it’s always a gorgeous experience

abit of a pain for 2 week stay with 3 kids

have been going to balaia golf village for 30 years

we bought stuff in the shop every days and the kids were regularly up and down a bit of recognition would be good

free wifi.... great pools large complex not overcrowded

all staff very courteous and professional and an excellent team in the kids club - highly impressed

everything on site including food shop, laundry facilities

excellent appartement and a proper fitness and swimming pools.

pools for the kids were amazing, we could sit and watch them safely whilst enjoying beverages from the pool bar

the hotel was lovely and clean and the pool area was lovely although we didn't get to use it for long as we were staying due to a

location was great. hotel nice and new, roof top pool with bar and sea view, rooms were nice.

loud music from bar across the road in evening time

location was great. hotel nice and new, roof top pool with bar and sea view, rooms were nice.

it just spoils the atmosphere of a boutique adults only resort

kids club was great for the children breakfast had a good choice of food

kids club and reception staff were particularly outstanding

the breakfast was amazing, clean rooms, proper 5 star experience

midnight to tell them what happened, and the manager came to our room next morning to offer the late check out and free breakfast

the staff especially renato from the bar who is so professional and good at his job were so friendly and well trained

the pool was very clean and from the backyard there is a door that is 300 meters away from the beach

arking is difficult) to town center which has most of the real restaurant/ life

was good, breakfast - good choice

it d be nice to have a guide in the room for room service and restaurant menus

a games room or an indoor spa room would be nice

ambience, staff, breakfast, lounge, room, facilities

great location, swimming pool, fantastic place to relax : )

internal soundproof was bad i could hear my neighbour taking the shower and the kids upstairs banging on the floor

staff were very helpful and friendly, the pool side bar was great, with good snacks

only small snag bar didn t open till 7 and was always closed when we got back which was only around 11 ish so

the bar staff have been really friendly, made us feel welcome and made a great effort with the kids

free wifi which could be used all around the hotel and pool area was great

no ice in the fridge or trays, no ice machine , bar wanted 2 for a cup of ice

also the pool was too cold, but that was just for me the kids loved it

kids pool is appropriate for toddler fun

entertainment was more geared towards kids, a more balanced entrainment programme would be good

its a perfect hotel for families with kids

it’s on a steep hill but you can get assistance by golf style buggy

location, room size, view from the room, breakfast.

very good hotel for families and kids

free time posibilities, great view to a wonderful garden, space for chilling out and swimming pool

the room, lobby, bar, buffet, gym, public spaces and any other facilities are very clean

nice location and great infrastructure. the breakfast is amazing.

amazing pool and nice party. a lot of breakfast options.

a beautiful hotel - great gym, great food, great staff & lovely comfortable bed & room.

only down side to this was there was no pool

clean airy room, staff were very nice and allowed us to have a late check out when my partner was feeling a unwell

pool and when booking we requested a balcony and got a door that opened to a small space you could

i would prefer to have swimming pool.

there is no pool - of course we knew that prior to booking but it will clearly put some people off

location, amazing staff & rooftop bar with a pool

main strip you can also hear all the noises from the pool if you are in level 5 there is also no wifi in the rooms which i believe should be

beautiful roof top bar and lounge area

outside area is amazing, it is off season so the pool bar and resteraunt were closed but you could bring things up from the downstairs

the pool bar was reasonably priced with tasty cocktails and there was a great vibe around the pool with

plenty of choice at breakfast, nice lounge and bar area, there is also an indoor pool if you prefer

pool was a little underwhelming as it was right next to the bar, separated with a glass door so

location, room, breakfast, nice bar area with a great sea view

don't be fooled with the adults only, it's not

hotel is perfect for anyone who doesn't need an outdoor pool and loves the beach, we found everything to be very good

the perfectly appointed rooms, one of a kind champagne breakfast, infinity pool, daybeds, above all the kind and helpful

from the hustle of albufeira, tucked away in the old town but within a 2-3 minute walk to all bars and restaurants, shops, the strip, and around a 5 minute walk to the beach

the finally cherry on the cake was it's for adults only

breakfast was the same every morning no change at all which can get boring

the spa they placed a noisy hyperbaric chamber that drowned out the gentle massage music and made it

fair choice for a continental breakfast. decent price.

breakfast was just ok

good bar and patio

the pool was very small. the bar didn't open much.

a bar opened early than 4pm

lf, beach, fitness) and location.

and she said that we need to complain to management - so,guys, we are complaining sort of :) - kids club we found very expensive for 70€ a day, with 4 kids it’s too much and also not

indoor swimming pool with good quality

pullout bed in the apartment was barely functioning and needs to be replaced - my kids were able to sleep there but it s basically broken and no way an adult could sit there

hotel should really invest in heated pools

lots of kids and families, but never felt overwhelming as we traveled as a couple without kids this time

excellent rooms. very comfortable. loved having the golf course on site.

breakfast, was good, beach, was good room, setup is nice very good restaurants, and most of

great restaurants, great golf course and pools

- mare beach restaurant - one visit was enough - poor service and food quality - jardim colonial breakfast - average selection/fresh fruit was lovely and the daily fresh orange juice was a nice

peaceful, beautiful swimming pool , excellent breakfast

breakfast - juice, tea/coffee, yoghurt, fresh fruit, granola, cooked meats and cheese, pastries and

then breakfast was very generous, tasty and with the freshest ingredients

the food, the rooms as well as the outside area with pool and poolbar are all very cozy and cute

the complimentary breakfast with ingredients made on their farm, the wine, the service, the pool i could go on and on for days

room service was not perfect at all

the staff were very helpful, lots of amenities, super breakfast and a really enjoyable stay.

the bar serving ice cold sangria was a little piece of liquid rest to the soul

a consideration - the suite was lovely, but tricky having 2 floors with young kids

was a couple who were not wearing swim wear in the steam & sauna room next to the gym that was a little off putting but each to there own just a little embarrassing it was only a

wifi doesn’t reach the rooms: it’s only available at reception and bar (inside) ; breakfast is essential, nothing special but after all fair for the

staff and the pool and the bedroom... lovely quiet hotel.

the breakfast was not overly rich and there could have been few more options but this was expected

buffet breakfast included, which was on top floor with balcony overlooking albufeira

it is very simple and the pool wasnt filled up.

the staff were delightful, everyone from the bar to the reception were so friendly - probably the best we've experienced at a hotel before

the bar area was a bit outdated needs a more modern feel.

if you want to relax, book a spa treatment

the room was spacious and we had a nice view over the pool

adults only so generally very peaceful

gym was outdated, no one used the pool which had a bad review for being slimy

had a wonderful weeks stay at the boa vista, the location is fantastic, and the breakfast is perfect

the balcony, the breakfast was class and the spa was very nice

treadmill, rowing & cross trainer were ancient and only just working, so gym was disappointing

ask for a pool facing balcony

hotel very clean and lovely staff , we had a balcony with an amazing view also , small bar and a small pool too ,close to the old town , highly recommend

they allowed us a late check out at last minute

love the place and the pool and a 10 min walk to old town

size although a kettle was available we didn't find out until the third day when we asked at the bar to borrow a knife when one of the staff said you can also have a kettle if you

the lobby and bar area is well presented and warm welcoming

the breakfast was delicious especially the fresh fruit.

the price. free parking.

is lots of free parking within the hotel grounds but be careful entering the car park as there is a slightly raised

room size, facilities, staff, location, parking, sea view.

little expensive at the bar for gnt but everything else ok

a quiet place to stay lovely pool great breakfast, we stayed in 511 with a sea view.

a quiet place to stay lovely pool great breakfast, we stayed in 511 with a sea view.

was a spacious villa with a lovely open planned living and kitchen area

step going down to the kitchen from the front door was dangerous. front door hard to open.

sides by the pool didn’t look completely finished, if it was completed to the degree of the picture shown i

games room for the kids

everything from check-in, valet parking, our room, the ambiance was all excellent

clean pool not overly crowded relaxed atmosphere excellent staff free taxi to and from vilamoura on

allowed early check in and late check out

we loved the room, the hotel pools, the adult only pool, the spa facilities, the hotel restaurant (we did the tasting menu with wine pairing which we found (+) loved the hotel atmosphere as well as the wonderful breakfasts, loved the pool, spa and gym (-)the spa pool was very cold and didn t use (+) the venue is superb, so chilled out breakfast bar to die for spa treatments (-)couldn t get an appointment for a spa treatment (+) the food is amazing, the spa is one of the best i have experienced (-) and the pool at the spa is only for adults (+) the rooms were super spacious and clean, we loved the fact we had a walk-in wardrobe and sun loungers on our terrace (-) use of the spa facilities like the pool and sauna was free for members, but had to be booked which means that

small heated pool

we greatly enjoyed the 250sqm apartment, the private pool, the hotel swimming pool, the restaurants - and a few typical portuguese restaurants 5' away -

remote location. maintenance around pool.

everything except the heated pool was very small

residence, perfect area to spend some time, good restaurants, well equipped gym, interesting workshops, delicious breakfast, attentive

fabulous terrace bar and pool area

lovely breakfast and the gins at the hotel bar were excellent

the coffee place s horrible. ask to get one from the bar instead from the breakfast area

excellent shower, bar in lobby, fabulous decor throughout with an antique vibe, free parking, pool with cabanas to use and large outdoor veranda

breakfast was amazing with so much variety

nice resort, close to the ocean, pools were great, specially for kids

swimming pool, beach proximity, food, facilities, comfort

bigger gym :-)

kids club could be better. kids pool could be heated. too cold in april

facilities, pool and food was great too

staff was super helpful, spoke great english and loved kids

pool not massive but good for kiddies

the kids club is at another hotel and the pool is very small

eakfast) staff to the cleaning staff, nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so efficient

can t really fault it. wifi was a bit erratic at times that was about it

is a 5* hotel and prices match but i still rate 'value for money' highly as you get free parking and wifi

it s great for families with kids

kids loved the games room too

pool area was perfect and didn't feel too busy - i imagine it will be a lot busier during peak

very nice hotel next to golf range

not much to moan about. not that happy when a dog walked past me around the pool,

was immaculate, great facilities with gym, sauna, jacuzzi and pool

easy on site parking

breakfast is too busy. a lot of kids in adult pool.

the spa service and the staff where out of this world

bed apartment, plenty of space, great facilities, including washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen - overall a fantastic place to stay

clean & tidy, nice facilities and amazing spa

enjoyed everything about the property - location, pool areas, food, drinks, bar staff, apartments - all fabulous

location, as there a free shuttle that takes you to the beach/marina

only complaint was the lack of gluten free options at breakfast & in the restaurants

love the spa and indoor pool

areas , breakfast was divine , rooms excellant , 10/10 all round - only negative drinks in the bar excessive prices

hotel was unreal great play areas for the kids indoors and out

service was excellent except for room service

and comes at an additional cost for adults which isn't really cost effective and the absence of a kids club during the quieter months

, lovely breakfast , lots of choice , eggs cooked on request , , bright foyer area , nice bar area with toasties and snacks available throughout the day

need a mat in the shower. very slippery and a grab bar would help.

breakfast good, bar area good

staff ,location,pool area ,bed comfortable ,all great.

nice pools - swimming and jacuzzi, games for kids. great breakfast.

then the golf course was so stunning the best i’ve ever played

pool for babies. great staff!

the facilities were great (tennis court, indoor pool, gym etc

very comfortable and large rooms, lots of outdoors spaces for the kids to play

sadly wasn’t able to use all the facilities (gym) due to the short stay, but have no doubt those would have been well

unfortunately the spa pool wasn't open which i only found out after the booking.

the gym needs updating

bar was a joke no staff ,you had to walk to reception each time to pay ,no beer glasses, no bottle

wifi was very good

being late february, we didn’t expect all areas of the hotel to be open. restaurant and gym.

staff friendly and efficient. breakfast excellent. plenty of choice.

breakfast was delicious as was dinner

gym was out of order due to being refurbished. we look forward to using it when we return!! :)

gym closed at 9pm

with small kids this wasnt

we had an amazing view from our room and a good breakfast in the morning, the hotel is so close to the beach and the beach is pretty amazing

rooms were great, three separate beds for all three of us, very nice pool area and a wonderful breakfast

perfect location, good breakfast, friendly staff

would like more for the kids! games, special hours, or even small swimming pool

based on some of the reviews but in the end, we couldn't have been more pleased with the room and breakfast that was included
