Very nice location. The whole resort is very well maintained, the pools are lovely, clean and great facilities around them. Didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t speak to them Property was also lovely, good facilities and matched the photos. Very responsive hosts, all questions really quickly dealt with Would recommend.

Apartment was as described and matched pictures and description. Was modern. Had air con in all rooms except the living room but that wasn’t an issue. 2 bathrooms were decent sizes. Showers were good quality. I found the beds comfy my husband didn’t I guess it’s down to personal taste. Having washing machine and tumble dryer was a bonus for me. Had a small tv in the living room, none in any the bedrooms. Apartment is better accessed by a car and having car hire but it is possible to access without one. We didn’t have a car but we’re prepared to use Uber which is very well established in the area and worked out cheaper for us than car hire would have been for family of 6. Swimming pools and golf club/driving range are within walking distance of the apartment. There is a hotel (Algafar) to the left of the property that does food including a breakfast buffet for 12E per adult 6E per child. Kids club was available Mon, Wed and Fri 10-12 - we didn’t use so not sure finer details. .

5 adults stayed in this 3 bedroom villa in Balaia Golf Village in September 2023. We know the area well - the complex has excellent facilities, several swimming pools, plenty of sun loungers, golf and tennis, and is a short walk to the beach. The villa is located in a quiet part of the complex. The property was clean inside, spacious, has a modern, well-equipped kitchen, and 2 good, relatively new bathrooms. There is air-conditioning in all 3 bedrooms (but not in the lounge area). All the websites that advertise this villa, state that it has 4 bathrooms and can accommodate 8 people - there are only 2 bathrooms and the fold down bed in the lounge area is broken. There are only 3 wine glasses (2 white and one red). The patio area is spacious but was dirty and the furniture is in a state of disrepair - the cushions are either ripped or smell of cats. The decoration in the villa will not be to everyone’s taste - it is cluttered with no apparent coordinated design. With a little bit of effort and thought this could be an excellent property.
