Myself and my fiancé booked to stay at Balaia Mar Hotel for 4 nights, All inclusive based on the current reviews it had on Trip Advisor, and overall our holiday couldn’t have been more relaxing. We arrived mid-afternoon and was greeted by the receptionist who was really helpful with general information (location of the hotel, costs for Taxi’s etc) by... More

In terms of value for money (if you are all inc.) this a good deal. Going out of season meant we had a two room apartment across from the pool and the main dining area. Great for convenience, no so great for noise late in the evening. Going out of season meant there was plenty of room at the good... More

Just recently returned from the Balaia Mar Hotel. This is a lovely hotel, with friendly staff, great food and a beautiful pool. We went all inclusive and found the food fresh and tasty. They gave an option of meats in the style of kebabs and steaks which is cooked on a grill in front of you. This is accompanied by... More

There is a small garden with sun loungers which provides a nice quiet area to enjoy a few hours relaxing. While the range of dishes on offer... More

We booked this hotel based on a few reviews that said the food was good (I'm a fussy eater) it didn't disappoint. Selection of fresh meet or fish bbq'd to order along with a salad bar. Actually felt healthy going all inclusive. We stayed in the hotel and although the rooms were basic they were spotless, cleaned everyday and we... More

We chose to stay at this hotel based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed. We arrived mid-morning and were told that our all-inclusive package would start at 3pm but when we pointed out that we would be departing before breakfast was served they allowed us to have our bracelets at 1pm in time for lunch. We stayed in... More

Hubby and I where greeted with the warmest of welcomes and showed to our room which... More
