- "Peeps, if you've just begun looking for a holiday stay, trust me when I say there's s no need to go any further! If you do continue to look, I bet my bottom dollar, you will have this saved as a favourite, and you will, most certainly, come back to it. So save yourself the hassle! and book it now (but please save space for me to come back a third time :) )It was our second time at BALAIA PLAZA AL. Once again, it more than exceeded our expectations. From pre booking enquiries, through booking and during our stay, we were looked after each step of the way. It was like we were the only people that mattered. Quite clearly, all other holiday makers were treated with the same hospitality. Each party is individually looked after with care, consideration, and respect. My personal needs were accommodated, too. Nothing too big, or too small. Facilities are fantastic; clean, comfortable, spacious, and simply just the exact place to relax. It's just a 15 to 20 minute walk away from a big supermarket with a 5 min return with a boot full of shopping in a taxi (really cheap too when ordering from the local taxi app). 10 to 15 min drive from main beaches, bars, and restaurants. However, we liked the walk! (20 to 30 mins depending on your speed). A big shout out to the hosts on the complex, my kids and I enjoyed catching up with them and theirs... another big shout to the lovely staff who came to refresh our linen and facilities. What lovely, courteous, and polite staff. Hopfully see you again, BALAIA PLAZA AL."

- "Great local... near centrum" - "There wasn’t anything not to like. Cleanliness - every single part of the hotel was spotless. Never seeing so many cleaners in one hotel. The staff - nothing was too much . From reception staff to bar staff. It’s so refreshing to see that good service is still out there. An amazing team who always had a smile. The location - location of this hotel is perfect for Albufeira . The hotel has a modern twist especially with the rooftop pool. It was worth every penny. We were originally meant to stay for 3 nights and ended up staying for an extra 2 nights. Our room was super quiet . Of course you would heart the odd person coming home a bit late at night but that’s to be expected staying in a small town. I will Definitly be back to this hotel as I believe it’s probably one of the nicest around . Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
