Fantastic experience when going with you kids
5/5 • 1/9/2025The club med, remains one of the best all inclusive experiences when going with you children. The kids club activities at da Balaia have been phenomenal, the debate with the children was less about them going to the kids rather than when will we see you.
The rooms are modern and pleasing. The food is very good. Definitively would recommend anyone to try the a la carte restaurant as well. Even if you follow a healthy diet, there is so much variety that there are options to please anyone. The GOs are all on top of their game. Definitively would recommend it to anyone with children. If you are worried that it is French and that language would be an issue, there is none of that. Even for the children some of the GOs at the kids club mainly speak English rather than French.

Mini Club team
5/5 • 30/8/2025Just wanted to highlight the attentiveness and care from the Mini Club team, especially Bárbara and Daniela. We were quite worried about how it would go with our son, as he’s not usually good with separation — but we can’t thank Bárbara and Daniela enough for the love and care they gave him. So gentle, so caring, and so much fun!
Their warmth, patience, and energy meant the world to us, and our little one truly adored them both. What started with tears in the morning quickly turned into him running back to Mini Club — even when it was closed! As parents, it was such a joy to see our child not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and excited each day. Bárbara and Daniela went above and beyond to make the experience special, and they are a big reason why our holiday was so memorable.
