Terralta Apartments Reviews

Recently returned from a two week stay at the Terralta Apartments. We had a two bedroomed apartment which was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well equiped. There was a double and twin bedroom both with fitted cupboards. The balcony was of average size and had drying facilities. The bathroom was a decent size. Beds and towels changed every second day. The staff were very friendly and they spoke english very well. They were extremely helpful. The onsite supermarket has mostly british brands, they even have a range of weight watchers products!!! there is also a supermarket down the hill and to the left (10 min walk approx) which is alot cheaper, approx half the price.

They pool area is great. There was always plenty of sunloungers when we were there, some in the shade. There is a small childrens pool and jacuzzi. The kids spent most of the time in the playpark which was basic but they enjoyed it. The kids club was great for the kids. It was on 6 mornings per week (free if you are travelling with Thomas Cook or 5 euros per child if you are not) and 4 afternoons per week, the afternoons cost approx 5 euros for everyone.

The apartments were away from the hustle and bustle of main Benidorm, but can be easily accessed by bus or taxi. The bus stop is outside the hotel and costs 1.20 euros per person. A taxi costs 7 euros approx.

We got the bus in to town most nights and got a taxi back. Would recommend The Leeds Arms for food. Very reasonable priced and the kids eat free and its proper british food!!! The food at the apartments was quite good although we only tried it on several occassions. The entertainment wasn't the best, very repetative although they did try their best!!!

I would defineately go back to these apartments and would highly recommend them.

Enjoy your stay at the Terralta Apartments if you decide to go

Excellent place to stay, felt very secure with card entry system, and what a pool!! NEGATIVES (not many) felt the prices at the bar were a bit high (small bottle vodka ice was 4 euros, happy hour between 9 & 10pm was 2 for price of 1) DO NOT have a pizza they are VERY poor!! we found this at restaurants as well i don't think they can make pizzas edible in spain, sorry!! If you want to go to the new town every night i would stay somewhere closer as its a long walk or you are paying for taxis every night. old town not too far away but that hill up to these apartments is a killer with an 8 year old on your shoulders!!

If you want the option to have a relatively quiet and civilised break in Benidorm then The Terralta Apartments are for you.They are set in a pleasant residential area up a small hill. As a result, you feel detatched from the hussle and bussle of the main town. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was the busy summer holiday season but it didn't feel too crowded. Unfortunately there were plenty of English tourists prepared to fling a beach towel over a sunbed for 3 or 4 hours until they actually emerged to use them around the main pool. This was annoying but there were usually still a few spare sunbeds dotted around.... even if you had to go round the back of a block where there was a quiet, pleasant grassy area and a semi enclosed swimming pool. Thankfully, now and again, the management would come round and remove the unattended towels. If you want to sunbathe then it's worth hiring a sponge sunbed mattress, from reception, for about €5 per week. Our 1 bedroom apartment faced the main pool which was good. I believe that most, if not all, 1 bedroom apartments face this way. It was on the "ground" floor but was still raised 1.5 metres above the pool area so you didn't feel overlooked. The apartment itself had all the usual facilities including much needed air conditioning. The TV had several channels but for about €20 a week you could add 5 more.... BB1, ITV1, Channel 4, Sky Sports1 and Movies 24. There is a small, handy grocery shop on site but if you needed to do a proper weekly shop then I'd recommend the Commercial Centre. It costs about €8 each way by taxi and there are some large shops there. We chose to use the Carrefour Hypermarket which had everything that you could possibly need at reasonable prices. Alternatively, a 10 minute walk half way down the hill brings you to a small corner shop type supermarket with a limited supply of fresh food (fruit, veg, meat etc). There are 5 internet terminals near reception costing €1 per 20 minutes. (I'm writing this report at one of them). The bar/restaurant area is pleasant enough with the usual sub-standard entertainment but at least it isn't too loud or intrusive. Benidorm is just down the road for tacky shops, bars etc but it was always nice to know that The Terralta Apartments were there to provide you with some relative calm. I have stayed in better places but, for Benidorm, I'd be surpised if there is nicer accommodation than this for the price we paid.

Great hotel to stay at ,a bit of a trek up hill to it but bus drops you at door and taxi was only 6 euros ,huge pool a bit cold though,apts are spacious and clean,the whole place was immaculate,recommend this hotel if you like peace and quiet at night ,not to far from the action though 10 outa 10
