It was a short stay
We were meeting friend in the area and only stayed one night. The room booked had two single beds but on arrival we were asked if we would prefer a double bed and we said yes, the bed was changed in a few minutes. The room was very clean and well maintained. The A/C in the room was very good. The reception is staffed 24-7, very friendly and helpful. Our Portuguese is very basic but the staff worked with us in English. We visited the bar area, large, clean and again friendly staff. Our friends used the pool and were very pleased with it. We parked outside the hotel, no extra charge but while parking directly outside is limited there is substantial parking in several areas nearby. There is a very nice beach 5-10 walk with a nice casual restaurant/bar. This hotel is rated three star and it certainly operates at that or above. Great staff.

Fabulous stay
Lovely hotel, peaceful, immaculately clean. Alberto on the bar was so lovely and made the best Mojitos I’ve ever tasted. Had a lovely seafood spaghetti in the restaurant also so tasty and reasonably priced. Really hope to go back we had such a lovely stay. All of the staff were so nice. Thank you

Hhmph..
Location pretty far from everything. One little shop near by. Pool has cold water and you cannot drink or eat anything your own, even water. You have to pay that from a pool bar. Room was nice with big balcany.
Incredible place and amazing people
I went to albufeira for 7 nights and this hotel couldn’t have been better, they were incredibly nice and helpful and it is such a nice and clean place and would totally recommend visiting there 😊😊😊
Terrible pool atmosphere
I am currently staying at the Balaia Mar while our 2 bed apt (booked through air b &b) is perfect, well equipped, clean and very spacious I will not be returning due to atmosphere and rules at the pool area. We can not bring as much as a bottle of water to the pool without being pounced on by staff saying pool is extension of restaurant and only food/drink purchased there allowed. The bar is totally overpriced large water is €3, large beer is €5 which probably explains why the bar is empty every evening. The staff are friendly and smiling but will approach you every half an hour or so while laying on sunbeds offering cocktails/drinks, it is very annoying and does not lend to a relaxed day by the pool. Very disappointing.
