Balaclava Beach Hotels

"Great value for money, pleasant staff but does need some renovating properly not just repaint. The views and

are stunning."

"This is a beautiful, classy hotel where a lot of thought has gone into the layout and design. It cries out for sun drenched days lounging around the pool which unfortunately we only got for half a day of our 2 night stay. The food is decent, staff attentive, and they are right on it with trying to be as sustainable as possible.

across the road is unspoilt and natural with some great snorkeling. Highly recommended."

"Had such a wonderful stay at this fabulous hotel for 12 nights. Exceeded our expectations, amazing room with the most stunning

views, fantastic choice of freshly cooked food at every meal time, cocktails shaken for you whenever you wish, water sports to try on the most incredible white sand

in turquoise waters!! Made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and met fabulous staff throughout our stay who couldn’t do enough for you. Would return again in a heartbeat to this...

"We were in this hotel for the second time and it was again amazing. I was surprised by the great service and food which I had forgotten - or the level even increased. Many of the staff who was there during our last visit (3y ago) was still there, which is always a good sign. Top management, super friendly and caring staff. Nice rooms, large & clean gym with top coaches. Many possibilities to relax at beaches or pool areas - can only recommend the place! We will be back!"

"The first question asked at check “how & who did you book with? I said Expedia & we didn’t get the same service as those booked directly with Radisson! No cold towels, very slow mediocre experience compared to others! We had the only one bedroom private pool villa, it was nice, spacious, the pool was wonderful but a lot of black mold in the shower that they did nothing about after we asked them to remedy it on 2 consecutive days, we had a hornet nest they did remedy. The suite had no ice bucket...

"Excellent hotel with amazing staff. Food was top quality and

was very good. Overall 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend and revisit. Expensive but worth it. "

" : a good chef, it's not a self-service restaurant. the hotel is on the

"A good resort for the price but there aren't really enough sun loungers around the pool or the

. Guests block them early morning which is not great unless you sink to that level. Air conditioning in room often not really effective and they seem to switch it off in the gym. Nice location with a small

. Staff very friendly, making our stay a pleasant one"

"We were on our honeymoon. The place was placed nicely when considering the

. The pool area and downstairs bar area are very nice. We did enjoy those. The "all inclusive" was just too expensive. There wasn't any benefit (other than free drinks & lunch) that made the price worth it. We could not eat enough food or drink enough to even come close to the price. Anyway, thanks for a great time!!"

"Not long returned from my second month long stay at Allamanda (previous visit March 2023). Quiet location just across the road from

with other access to bathing beaches close by. Stayed in 1 bed apt 2nd floor with small balcony, table & chairs plus some washing line. Use of washing machines downstairs if needed but i just did handwash now and again. Good cheap buses (stop outside) and on site parking with economical car hire down the road. Owner Hari usually around somewhere but can...

"A lovely, small guest house, with great hosts and staff and easy access to the

. There is one good restaurant, which is open 6 days of the week, and other dining options are at a Fried chicken take away and a burger shop/cafe. "

"Small of the radar hotel. The hotel has no own

but makes up for it with a beautiful setting, lots of hidden areas, beautiful swimming pools and ocean access. Definitely a great place to recommend for folks looking something smaller and very good!"

"We had a lovely big airy room on a high floor with a balcony overlooking the pool and the bay. The bed in our room was lovely and comfortable. Surface cleaning was good but the corners and windows were in dire need of a good clean. Nice pool area with sunbeds. Nice shady areas between the trees around the edge of the bay. Pedalos and canoes were available at no charge depending on the tide. The restaurant had a good selection for breakfasts and evening meals. It was nice to see and indulge in...

"The apartment itself is really nicely furnished and the restaurant is good. Value for money is good A few remarks despite (1) NOT a Kids-friendly place (the pool is too deep, no sidewalks anywhere around) (2) The area is dead, there is no chance to walk anywhere (3) NO AirCon in the appt (only in the bedroom) (4) we had mould in 1 bathroom, unacceptable "

"Thank you to all the lovely staff who work here that made our stay amazing. This hotel is located about 50 minutes from the airport. It’s tucked away and great for privacy. My husband and I stayed in the luxury ocean front pool suite. The view of the ocean from the balcony and infinity pool was tranquil and lovely to wake up to everyday. There is ample room for two people in this suite. Great storage in wardrobe to put all your belongings away. The dressing area includes two sinks and 4 big...

"Sands was an absolute pleasure, beautiful beaches, great rooms, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend *****"

"Amazing hotel with the best staff who really go above and beyond to look after you . We stayed in an Ocean villa which really has the wow factor plus you have your own bit of private

where again you are so well looked after ."

"Herman the owner was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and was really understanding of his guests. Lovely pools here too and the central courtyard allows meeting of other guests which is nice on holiday"

"Great villa with a private pool with plenty of space - no real complaints. However, the lack of maintenance including tiles falling off the walls, paint bubbling and algae in the pool were concerning. The Villa itself is great, it just needs a little TLC. We didn’t use the main pool, but the whole compound seemed secure and the restaurant food was decent,"

"Unique hotel setting, lovely view "
