Muthu Balaia Sol

"There was black mold in the bathroom on the ceiling. The top shower holder had broken so we had to hold the shower hose every time we showered as it was by our waist. No bathroom hand soap. You had to get a shuttle to different hotels to have lunch and dinner which sometimes took 50 minutes. Most staff were lovely which was an upside and the breakfast was really nice. You had to pay for the good drinks at the bar, but the bar man was lovely which made our experience better. We were given no room sign to indicate whether or not we wanted our room cleaned, we told the cleaners outside to NOT clean our room one day (as we had valuables inside) they said ok, and they proceeded to clean our room and leave the front door unlocked."

"I have just finished 10 days at the Muthu Balaia Sol - I visit Portugal a few times each year and this was my first time staying here. Overall, a very good experience, in that the hotel is in a generally quiet spot, everything is really clean, rooms aren't particularly out of date, etc. The accommodation is basic, lacking in certain basic bits of kitchenware which would have been useful such as colander, grater, mugs, etc. but everything else required was generally present. There was a dog located in a nearby villa which whined loudly most of the time I was there and was still audible with shutters and balcony doors closed at night, which was exceedingly annoying but out of the control of the Muthu staff. Slight issues at night as the main dual carriageway was about 100ft away and seemed to be the gathering place for evening speed trials and drifting competitions! However, this was only for about 10 minutes each evening 🤣 Walls/doors don't stop sound transmission so I had the pleasure of listening the the Scottish bloke stating opposite side.of the corridor toe.auffering with his COPD, coughing and wheezing lots, hacking up who knows what - I empathise with him and his suffering but the building set up is such that I heard said suffering as tgough I was in the room with him. Overall a pleasant place to be, excellent pool and loads of sun-loungers, on-site bar, lovely staff, close to everything but still far enough away to be a bit rural."

"Just got back from a lovely holiday with balaia sol. Absolutely amazing. The place it self was very beautiful. The staff especially Frederico ramps, Isis Marcelino and Juan barman, we're so friendly and nothing was to much for them. The transfer shuttle is excellent to take you from hotel to hotel, nearest the place you wanna go to. The room was kept clean and changed of towels was daily. Even spoke to the manager who was really nice and friendly. Best place I have stayed and very beautiful looking which is well maintained. Thanknyou for a lovely holiday"
