Is the Balaia Plaza a big pink hotel, if so they are about a 5 minute apart. When you go down to the main road heading towards the strip you will pass the Balaia Plaza on the right hand side.

Hi again
Can anyone tell me if there is an iron in the apartment. I've read the description online and it doesn't mention it. This is VERY important, please reply.
Reply
No there is definetly NO iron in the rooms, there is an Iron in the Laundry room which is on the 4th Floor and it is metered and you have to get a Token in reception and I had gone all the way up to do Ironing to discover I needed a token. I could have swung for someone.

Mmmmm guess that means i'll be taking my own then, i normally do, but the last few places we've been there's actually been one and it p's me off that i use my baggage allowance because i take a REAL one and not a 'travel but don't take the creases out' one. Thanks for that, you've saved a domestic in this household on the 21st of April (day before departure and my Birthday!! He'll probably still find somthing to complain about regards my packing methods but he'll put up or do it his bloomin self! :roll:

Hi Siren, some supermarkets around Albufeira sell english brands but at a price. Marachino, Pingo Doce near the watches roundabout sell some english brands, Lidl which is just higher up the road past the fire station & Plus supermarket which is on the Worms roundabout. Cheers Jayjan.

Is the restaurant in the Alto a buffet restaurant or waiter service?

Can you pay to upgrade to half board for the week on arrival?
Reply
No the restaurant if waiter service and when we were there in July there was no option to upgrade.

Hi everyone. This is an excellent site to view whilst trying to prepare for your hols! We are arriving at Club Alto on 20 May 2006 for two weeks with our 2 year old and 4 year old girls. It will be their first holiday abroad and on a plane and we're soooo excited! Just wondered what activities there are in the day and evening to keep them entertained. Also, wondered if any other young families are going at the same time as us! :lol: I know noone can predict the weather, but how hot does anyone reckon it will be this time of year end of May?

We'll be there for a week then, fly out on 18th May, me and the missus and our 3 year old girl.

According to http://www.wunderground.com it was hot and sunny last year at this time.

I dont think it was anymore than 40 minutes max. They sort of take back road into resort and as soon as you come off main road it is only about 5 minutes away.
