Pinheiros Da Balaia Villas

Just got back from a week staying here. It was fantastic! It's really great value for money. The villa was spacious, well equipped, and really clean. There is ac in the living area and both bedrooms. The staff are wonderful, everyone from reception to the pool bar staff were welcoming, friendly and kind. There is a really good selection on the menu in the pool bar/restaurant, and it's all at reasonable prices. The food is very fresh and cocktails are great! The pool is a good size and there are lots of loungers. The complex had lots of English guests while we were there, with a mix of all ages. Plenty of extended family groups, which is what the complex is aiming for, I think. It's definitely not for rowdy teen groups - although there's plenty of kids (and adults) having a good time in the pool during the day! Would definitely recommend these villas. Helpful tips (hopefully): Get the Uber app, it's cheaper than getting taxis. Aldi is only a 15-minute walk, but there's little shade, so go early morning or evening! The little shop on site is really very basic, with no milk, for example, more like snacks and drinks. Only negative point would be that we all found the beds really uncomfortable!
