Cheap Holidays to Benidorm – Frequently Asked Questions about Terralta Apartments

Where is it?

Located about 1000 metres from Poniente Beach with its two miles of golden sand, the apartments are in a quiet residential area up a hill from the hustle and bustle of the resort.  the surrounding are lovely and you’re nowhere near

all the sky-scrapers!  The walk into the old town only takes about 10 minutes, but those with walking disabilities may prefer to take a taxi for about five euros or get one of the punctual hourly buses.

Who is this hotel for?

The location means that the Terralta may not suit the 24/7 party set who would be better looking for based in one of the hotels in the resort centre, but the place is ideal for families and couples who, whilst aiming for cheap holidays to Benidorm, don’t walk to be in a noisy town-centre hotel block.

How do the Terralta Apartments compare to other complexes?

The apartments here are very spacious, well-designed, modern, and with good quality fixtures and fittings.  You will find plenty of storage space, and everything is kept nice and clean,

as are the public areas of the complex.  Each apartment has a bedroom with twin beds; a sofa in the lounge; air conditioning from June to September inclusive; and for a small charge, satellite TV and a room safe.  All apartments have balconies, some with a view of the pool.

The kitchenette is particularly good here, with efficient fridge/freezers (quite unusual, that); cooking rings; microwave; toaster and kettle.  They’ve been pretty generous with utensils here too – so you really can do the self-catering thing if you want to.

In the bathroom you will find a shower over the bath and a hair dryer mounted on the wall.

In all, you’re getting a brilliant apartment for the money here, and in my opinion it’s worth being a little further from the beach to get this quality at these prices.

What’s outside?

Cheap holidays to Benidorm will never seem the same again once you have enjoyed the pool and gardens at the Terralta Apartments.

The borders are filled with fragrant lavender, rosemary, thyme and jasmine, shaded by palms and orange trees.  But it

gets much better than that:

The superb swimming pools here are a major attraction of the place.  The main pool is curvy and huge for the size of the complex.  Unusually, it is shallow all the way round near to the edge.  Because of this, some of the kids prefer it to their dedicated children’s pool, but don’t worry Mum and Dad because there is a lifeguard on duty here until 6pm to keep them safe.

The other thing well worth mentioning is that there are loads of sunbeds here, and the manager has a policy of “tidying away” those towels that people, shall we say “leave behind” on the sunbeds!  (You know the ones – out in their pyjamas to reserve a bed and then you never see them until the afternoon because they go out shopping all morning..)  This means you have the best possible chance of getting a sunbed whenever you want one.  The icing on the cake is that you can hire soft mats from reception for a euro per day to make the sunbeds even more comfy.  What more could you want!

Adults, here’s something just for you.  If you want a more peaceful time by the pool, you’ll find an adults-only covered

pool at the Terralta Apartments, where you can escape the lively kids for a while – what a bonus!

What about food and drink?

The emphasis is on providing cheap holidays to Benidorm – cheap is not really the word – excellent value is more accurate.  This means that the emphasis in on self-catering backed up by an on-site cafe/bar and a pool bar.  It’s basic food rather than a la carte, which is not to say it’s bad at all, and there is a good choice, but personally I would want a change some nights.    This is no problem, as there are plenty of places to eat out within easy walking distance of the complex.

By the way, the breakfasts are great here, with a good-sized plate of full English costing about four euros at the time of writing.

Are the staff friendly?

Reception staff Laura and Louna deserve a special mention, and Anna is superb with the kids.  Behind the bar, Jose, Antonio and Ranjit are popular, and the housekeeping team are said to be helpful and smiling!

Is there Internet access?

Yes, you can get on the web or check your emails in the public area, costing one euro for 20 minutes.

What other facilities are there?

You will find a steam room and a gym here, available for three euros per day or 7.50 euros for three days – nice if the weather is a little cooler at each end of the season.

In the basement, the kids will soon search out the games room, where they can play pool, air hockey, whack-a-parent (or is it hamster?) and table tennis.

Entertainment is laid on here, but it’s not as impressive as in some of the other, bigger hotels.  Then again, holidays here really are some of the best quality cheap holidays to Benidorm that you will find, so any entertainment is really a bonus.
