Have just returned from another 2 week break back at Badala. Staff were delighted to see us back again.Breakfast has improved from last year.Security was fantastic - no locals traipsing through hotel now and all staff have ID cards. Holiday only marred by the fact that there were Reps staying there from the Dutch company - Corendon - one Rep... More

We stayed for a week and were worried because of the reviews..But unfounded had a nice room , cleaned daily by happy staff. The pool area was clean with a bar , the only downside was lack of entertainment but theres plenty within walking distance . We were B & B with different choice each day not 5 star but... More

We were there a year ago and I see that there have been renovations since. To me it was very cheap and I did not expect much - for a week with flights from Gatwick it was £334 including transfers.

We have stayed here a few times but only really for the shower and bed .... bar around the pool ok for a drink .... but food not very good and breakfast awful entertainment staff and tailor great...pool small and deep not really good for kids Would be careful here with things going missing from rooms !!
