Very pleasantly surprised
Although we had booked the hotel shuttle it didn't turn up so it wasn't a good start. Since found that an uber would have been a lot cheaper anyway. When we arrived we were very surprised, pleasantly at the first impression. Reception staff was nice enough but not very present. Our room was very clean and roomy. With modern facilities. The TV however had no English channels and was an old crt with only scart connections so we couldnt hook anything up to it. There is no wifi unless your close to reception, so be prepared. Our room had steps straight down to the pool which was lovely. The fountain came on every night from 8pm for 2 hrs and can be nosey if your relaxing on the patio, which has table and chairs, or indoors. There is a bar, which serves drinks and food poolside a stride away from your apartment. We ate in the restaurant once, the food was OK but I couldn't eat there every night, so take that into consideration if all inclusive. There is a shuttle that takes you to Albufeira every hr from 10am with occasion breaks right up to 11pm which is a definite bonus as the hotel is quite remote. It does 2 stops so you can shop and be done by the time it returns from the beach. That service alone makes the whole experience value for money, as well as making it easy of you want to eat out. All other trips we took an uber which was never more than 5 euros for us.

Attractive hotel
A nice modern hotel with lovely apartments each one with a good size balcony overlooking the pool. Overall the room was really nice though a few small issues. A mouldy bath enclosure, leaky a/c, inadequate drinking glasses and a shower would have been nice-not good for water conservation! There's a shower head but no wall attachment! The restaurant was fine but glad we were not all inclusive as would have got very bored eating there all the time. The entertainment does not cater for English. We did feel a bit excluded as the entertainment staff totally ignored us all week! One warning do not buy drinks in the reception bar. I got stung 10 Euro for a small glass of very cheap and nasty, rough red wine! The hotel is isolated but the shuttle bus is handy although unreliable. If you get stuck a taxi from town is about 8 Euro. No shuttle bus at weekends though or evenings. Very surprised though when we checked out the receptionist did not even bother with a thank you, good bye or have a safe journey!!! A fairly basic skill requirement?!

Pool holiday
I had read it was away from facilities, but there was a mini mart shop. The shop stock was worse than poor, one frozen pizza and a couple bags dried pasta. No cafés restaurants or bars near, no where to go for a wee walk. We really struggled self catering.The shuttle bus from hotel was good but stoped at 5pm and not on at weekends, we ended up spending a fortune on taxis.there was a small spar at bus stop in town, big supermarkets out on motorways. We really stuggled self catering. The actual hotel was fab and the rooms really big , big balconies and excellent pool. Lovely staff, the taxi drivers were superb. No descent entertainment, very shut off at night.

The hotel was clean staff very nice, we had self catering room so had facilities in if we needed. Not much outside the grounds but hotel had shuttle bus to shops and restaurants which was very handy.On the last day we found bar small restaurant nearby ,if you take the road on the left side, as if you're heading towards the coast you will see a place on its own, the food was great and prices were fair, its a must.

Antonia's opinion
Initial impression was good entertainment was very good and activity staff especially Chicco were exceptional in all areas, i would class him as a real asset to the balaia atlantico. The only thing i was disappointed with was the choice of food in restaurant, not enough shuttle bus times in evening, price of drinks in pool area compared to in hotel bar. I had accident at pool area due to damaged chair in which i had severe bruising to backs of legs at which is still umcomfortable i wasnt attended to straight away i had to approach them myself eventhough staff had seen it happen.

Fantastic, relaxing hotel for summer family hols
We really enjoyed this hotel. It had the most friendly staff and entertainment team. The hotel is very relaxed with no early rush for sunbeds or difficulty finding space in the pool for a swim. The family entertainment was excellent with plenty of activities for all age groups. Would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing family holiday in a well provisioned hotel. We will certainly re-book this hotel for a future family holiday!!

Nice hotel, but did not see reception or bar staff smile once over the course of our stay. So generally nice hotel although pool is noisy in the morning, and the staff could do with being a bit friendlier

Thank you :)
Free bus to the village, free wifi, a nice pool, lots of sunbeds, free sauna, a good bar area on the pool and the entrance lounge with affordable princes for fancy drinks and cheap beer. Nice apartment where we were staying, and the front desk staff just very helpful. Only not so great thing to say it's the room cleaning ladies, not cleaning the room properly. But overall it's was very nice and I would go there again. Oh, and I forgot, even if you want to walk to the beach it's a 20 minute walk going down and half an hour going back to the hotel. Beautiful Algarve and nice Albufeira.

Glass in my big toe
Good pool and staff. Room was good size with nice fixtures. The surrounding areas a mostly made up of an old goast town of a holiday complex we discovered had been closed for 22years. It was really cool but sadly they started demolishing it three days into our stay which ment more background noise then I had hoped for. Fount out the whole site is being devoloped after years of legal disputes over ownership. Would be nice to return when completed but no doubt the price will have raised by then. Sadly when moving the two small beds into one double I got several shards of glass in my big toe one of which is still in there from poor housekeeping!! Annoying as the hotel failed to get me the tools requested to get it out or a vacuum but re mopped the floor :/ Overall a good hotel for the cost. Oh and the gym is 6€ a session!

Nice hotel with good facilities and friendly staff
Upon arrival we were pleased with the hotel. Check in was quick and straight forward, our room wasnt quite ready on arrival but our bags were stored in a safe store behind reception, the room was ready within an hour. The rooms are quite big, clean and well finished, the kitchen comes equipped with everything you require for a self catering stay. The hotel has a large pool and pool area with a bar, tennis courts, mini golf and a play area for children. The overall experience was good and I would return and I would also recommend the hotel but I cant help feel that it wouldn't take much to take the hotel to the next level, some general TLC and a more expansive pool bar menu would make such a difference, although that may sound petty it is true. All things considered I am a happy customer. Would be a good family hotel. I stayed in Sept so less children around but there was plenty to entertain them, although there is no life guard.

Exactly what it says on the tin - relaxing
Absolutely a beautiful peaceful place to stay - fantastic facilities within the complex - complimentary shuttle bus runs to nearby beach areas and old town a few times a day - I do think that an on site supermarket or mini market would be of huge benefit to the complex - two english speaking channels on the TV namely CBS drama & BBC world news initially drove me bananas no soaps!!! but got over it quickly - wifi is available in lobby and by the pool - the apartment was 'just like it said on the tin' and housekeeping called every day - I cannot fault this in any way and would highly recommend it to anyone - I know i will try my best to return in the near future -

Easter Break 2015
Apartments at the Balia were great for a family, spacious, modern and very clean. The hotel itself was lovely with friendly, helpful staff. The pool area was great but the pool was very cold could have done with being heated. I would recommend a car if staying here as it was away from Albuferia centre. We hired a car and got about very easily visiting much of the Algarve. On the whole would recommend and stay again.
