Cheerfulway Acqua Maris Balaia

It was was to far away for me and I twisted foot on the very bad pavements

Dreadful condition hotel , in need of extensive renovation , re wiring and repairs. I genuinely believe it’s down for demolition as there is so much wrong with this building , it has been allowed to deteriorate to a terrible state .The lifts don’t work and we are on the fourth floor ! The studios are barely fit for purpose the decor is old and crumbling, furniture is old and tired , half the electric sockets don’t work (and look dangerous) neither do the most of the light fittings or the kettle . The microwave is tiny and so low powered it’s barely usable. Apart from the out door pool which looks ok the hotel has none of the amenities we were told in the booking agent’s description ie luxurious studio apartment, indoor pool , gym , on site restaurant, shop , bar and bike hire . The only redeeming feature of this dilapidated relic of a hotel is the receptionist and cleaning staff who are cheerfully doing their best in the face of insurmountable odds.

This hotel is disgusting and should be shut down Didn’t even stay the night , the smell of damp was horrendous it greets you as soon as you walk through the door. Dated disgusting decor greeted us our door didn’t lock properly, neither did our patio door. Lift wasn’t working hallways stinking dingy and smelling of damp. Mold on curtains and bedding Patio stinking and table looked like it had never seen soap or water Kitchen awful , ceiling falling down, cupboards screwed together honestly I have never seen anything like it. I couldn’t stay there we had to fork out extra and get somewhere else to stay Stay clear of this hotel !!

I going to admit I was really worried about staying here but we’ve just come back from 4 nights was very surprised. The staff were very friendly and accommodating - our room though it was dated was very clean, we also had housekeeping come everyday. The pool area was a great size. Plenty of beds, in decent condition. A couple were broken but the majority were good. The pool bar was reasonably priced and the food was good. Good service from staff. Our door locked and the hotel was in ok condition. From what I can tell they are merging two hotels together and are in process of doing the rooms/hotels up. Disliked · Down side our air con didn’t work - they did provide us with a fan however it was that hot it didn’t do very much. We struggled to get towels but we did get some. We just had to collect from reception in the evening. There was a couple of tiles on the balcony that was broken.

SCAMMERS ....Hi everyone, I am written this review today on 31st October 12.31pm in Ireland, I am English speaking and have been to Portugal many times in the past couple of years. (WENT HERE WITH FAMILY.!!) Within the last year or two I have been visiting Portugal and staying in different hotels AROUND PORTUGAL, as you probably can tell I love Portugal :)..... and I have only had A FEW small things wrong with hotels, nothing to major to fix, they were fixable problems I ain't fuss at all, just a normal working individual looking for nice holiday with family. Now this is where my review begins WITH this hotel !!!..... 1. Receptionists is alright, dose her best as its her job 2. ROOM..!! Haha joke !! patio Window was broken, left a cold wind coming into my room!! Had to use a bed sheet to try AND block COLD BREEZE coming in AT NIGHT !, as there was NO glass. 3.ROOM..!! NO electricity was working in room, lights !! 4. ROOM... Ants were all over room, due to BROKENNESS OF window. 5. BED WAS OK but WASN'T COMFORTABLE!! Bathroom.... ABSOLUTELY FILTHY !!.... 1.BATHTUB yellow stains like rusty all over it, and broken rusty areas in tub. 2.Shower.... okay just usable! 3.toilet... just usable, stained !! 4. No service, for 7 nights I was there. 5. Towels okay, Bearable. The building itself was horrible Pool bar was not open most of the time. Disgusting pool. paid around €500 almost for hotel. And it was only worth about 150 for the staff member at the reception trying to do the best she can ! With a result of no electricity and stress. I actually ended up falling in my apartment room, I had a cracked eye and brushing all over my body !!! It was nightmare. SCAMMERS !!! I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF OF THE PERSON WHO ONWS THIS, oh actually they probably have some kind of scammers running it for them in Portugal, while they are on the othersode of the world, just getting the income from this place, !!

There is nothing good to say about this hotel. very old and dirty...the curtains were hanging off the pole, bath stained yellow with a horrible shower curtain that was dirty. Cupboards did not shut properly. Our towels were not changed unless i asked for new ones. We found cockroaches in our room, dead birds around the pool. Most of the sunbeds were broken and absolutely filthy...not at all welcoming and the pool was never cleaned. There were many strange young people hanging around the property most of the time, leaving us feeling scared for our safety.
