We loved Da Balaia! They treated us so well with everything!

5/5 • 13/8/2026

What a fabulous trip! Great location, super pool, such varied and tasty food from all over the world, friendly staff, good activities for kids and very friendly helpers for them too.
We have two rooms with joining doors, so that we could help with the grandchildren. This worked really well.
The rooms were cleaned daily, and very Quiet.
There were varied areas to sit at the pool, in the nearby pine tree grassy area or the games/bar area.
We found the Aqua Zumba was far too loud! The Atmosphere of music at other times was good but music that’s too loud endangers all of our ears.
That was the only thing that distracted from the overall Great ambience.

There were good activities for singles to meet at meals, and on the activities. People were very friendly but not intrusive.
The Staff were also very friendly, spoke a variety of languages and could tell me if I’d be ok to eat some food, as I’m shellfish allergic.
We’d give it a 10/10 overall.

Many thanks for a GREAT week at Da Balaia.
