Advantages: theres always somthing to do- be it internet cafe, tennis, or swimming Disadvantages: the jealousy you'll behold when you see the larger owned apartments with private pools!!
...I've visited this resort 7 times, each time staying for two weeks.
I found the atmosphere friendly, the workers at reception helpful and english-speaking and there was plenty to do at the resort.
There are many pools around the resort, nearby newsagents, a spa, tennnis courts(with childrens instructed lessons available) and there are plenty of parking spaces around the resort, not to mention the wonderful golf course, with golf lessons and instructors.
The apartments are well equipped with decent comfortable beds, bed setees and televisions. My apartment had two bathrooms, one being ensuite, both with baths and overhead showers.
There are at least 2 lovely beaches walking distance from balaia village and the resort is very near the main shopping village.
Fantastic resort....

I had the pleasure of visiting this resort in the summer, which was financially in my favour as the Euro Youth Hotel, which i stayed in conviently located opposite the Railway Station and inbetween the famous spa, and a spar supermarket, was not only giving free upgrades, but free nights as well, which from my conversations with people seemed evident accross the resort in the summer...

This is going to be a bit of an unusual review as I am writing about a hotel that I have never stayed at. I have never used the facilities - but I have experienced their customer service.
On the 4th October last year, my partner and I took a trip down more
