Very well equipped rooms. Small shower. Spotlessly clean apartments. Bit of a walk to bars and restaurants, about 20 minutes but 10 mins to the supermarket. Lovely and quiet . Night porter is a lovely chap, bar staff friendly €4 for a large beer. And limited snacks available at the bar reasonably priced . Overall I would stay again . Beautiful gardens and lovely pool area

Most importantly the Balaia Sol was clean, both the room and exterior pool area etc. It's quite basic but the room was sufficient for all our needs. A really good shower and cooking facilities, a fridge which was definitely needed with the heat in the week we were there. The beds were okay, could be a bit bigger, that would make a lot of difference to comfort. The staff are quite friendly and work hard, they don't allow guests to cause disruption around the pool that is good. It makes for a relaxing experience, also there is no banal thumping music pumped out so you can chill out properly!
Overall we would go back, that tells you everything you need to know.

Lovely quiet hotel with great staff. Rooms are basic but provide exactly what you would expect and were cleaned regularly. Pool is quiet with plenty of sunbeds available. 15 minute walk to nearest supermarket which was handy. Taxi to the beach or centre of Albufeira also good value. We will be back I'm the future!

If you don’t want a rowdy hotel and just want to relax this is the place.. no fighting over sun beds and the staff are brilliant. Proper Portuguese traditional hotel. Really is a lovely family run hotel. When stressed with work this is my place to be. Been 4 times and will quite easily do anther 4 times 👍
