Terralta Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

The Terralta appts are clean, well kept and in a quiet residential part of benidorm, well away from the nightmare that is the 'new town'. As per other reviews the 'hill' down into town is manageable but the bus service is fantastic and clean and taxis always available for 6 euros. The food and drinks provided by the onsite snackbar/restaurant was overpriced and not of a high standard, the staff also seemed permanently put out to have to do anything. Another low point was the influx in the second week of 'the family from hell' who made enough noise and fuss to be irritating to everyone else having a lovely relaxing time - noisy, rude, it was like an episode of 'shameless' sometimes.........
The old town is very popular with the spanish residents, the beaches are clean and well looked after, the shops and bars are plentiful and good value for money - 'tapas alley' is a must for tasty nibbles during the day or evening but avoid peak times about 2pm in the afternoon as the locals come in from the beach for lunch and it is mentally busy........
The new town was not our cup of tea at all but in fairness it has more british bars and the food and drink were definitely cheaper here compared to the old town
The Tower Lounge in the old town (round the corner form where the number 8 bus drops you off from the hotel) was a great little pub with a comedian and singer most nights, a nice drink, good entertainment with friendly hosts
Would probably not go back to benidorm, once you've been there then thats it really, but would recomment the Terralta

Just returned from yet another great holiday at the Terralta. We have been every year for the past 4 years. Staff great. Really friendly & helpful. Apartments very clean. Entertainment may not be brilliant for adults but the kids love it. The only problem is the sun beds being reserved. Unless you get up at 7.30-8am to get a sunbed you may find you are struggling especially if you need to get one near the kids pool or the shallow end of the main pool.

stayed here for 4 5 days with two friends (we are 23) not a bad word to say! pool was amazing staff were great place was spotless and rooms were huge! bit out the way but would rather that than be in the middle of lavante!.
food was nice, nothing special but nice enough!. happy hour! whoop two smirnoff ices and two pints of cider for 7.50! entertainment was a bit rubbish but when is it ever good in hotels? if you want that go to vegas!
loved it loved it loved it! got to go now so i can book again for next year!

I am now wishing to win the lottery so i can live here!!! Relaxing fun atmosphere by the pool, drinks, ice cream etc a bit pricey from the bar, happy hour between 9 & 10pm (2 for 1 on lager, wine, smirnoff ice & sangria). Lots of kids in and around pool but it was absolutely magic when most left about 6pm and you had pool nearly to yourself. Our kids met others there and had fun together, thomas cook kids club was ok animacion team brill thankyou to joe & anna who took kids away for an hour most days to play golf, darts etc, also water polo, pool etc for adults twice a week. Internet computers in reception area for kids who are missing msn! (not expensive for computers). evening entertainment got a bit repetetive in the second week but younger kids absolutely loved it, loads of games karaoke, bingo etc. Benidorm is a very big place and please be prepared for a lot of walking, hire a car or get taxi's. Bus service is ok and there is a bus timetable in reception. we were ripped off once with expensive bad food in spanish restaurant so stuck to english cafe bars in new town. Pizza's aren't very well made by the spanish, sorry!!

I Recently stayed In Terralta apartments for a week and i cannot make one bad comment on the place!
The Staff were lovely and always happy to help, no matter what hour!
The Food was lovely and reasonably priced. Theres a great little shop inside where u can get most of your daily items.
The Security was of high standard and safety deposit boxes were avaible!
Everyone seems to talk about this hill as if its everest! The Walk down is fine.. the walk up can be tiring especially in the heat but as u can get a taxi from the bottom to the top for 3 euros i dont really think anyones able to complain!
I Totally recommend the newtown for anyone who wants some decent nightlife..
i thoroughly enjoyed my stay and thought it was worth every last penny! i would definately stay there again!

just got back from 2 weeks stay in terralta , and are looking to book again next year,kids aged 11 and 13 both really enjoyed it. pool was very good and even had a lifeguard 10- 6,,, note pool salt water but not bad .sun loungers are uncomfortable and you can hire mats for sunbeds at 1 euro a day or 5 for week , but i found out that if you hire them for 1 day and keep hold of them nobody was checking plenty of sunbed available till about 10
entertainment was ok and always finished by about midnight, if you want entertainment you had to go to the square le vante end can walk it in 30 mins or taxi 7 euro approx, there are also plenty of places to eat in old town once you have found them.
supermarket on site not good there is one at bottom of hill , hill isnt steep but we only walked up once as in the heat it is hard work.
the complex is very clean, rooms are clean but they only change towels twice a week, best to take towels off trolleys in corridor, also you have to empty your own bin, as others have reported the cockerels go on all night and day .
all in all the hotel is slightly out of the way but well worth the money

Just returned from 1 week at terralta apartments, absolutely loved it! My husband and i went with our two kids aged 10yrs & 7yrs, they absolutely loved the pool. I can't emphasize enough how clean these apartments are, if you are a bit like myself and clean is important you will have no complaints at all. There is air conditioning which is a must, when i was reading the reviews prior to our holiday i was a bit put off when i kept reading about the steep hill, i can honestly say my family and i didn't think this was a problem at all, we walked up and down it on numerous occasions and it was fine . I could maybe see it being a problem for elderly or disabled people but that's all. The food in the complex is just basic stuff we ate out most times, also entertainment wasn't fab but it was ok, again we went out most nights to main benidorm which was a 20 minute bus journey, you can get the no.12 bus at the bottom of the hill just at the pharmacy. We discovered on the last day that we were only 5mins from poinente beach which is absolutely beautiful. The apartments are a good bit further back from main benidorm but we thought that was one of it's charms. All and all a great time had by all and we would definitely go back.

Just returned from our 2nd stay this year at the terralta and once again have no complaints whatsoever!!! was nice this time to get to use the pool as it was too cold last time!!! loved every minute of it! met loads of really nice people, the staff are fantastic and would definately think about returning to the terralta apartments!! fantastic :)

We stayed at the Terralta appartments in Benidorm. The appartments themselves were very good, clean and the staff friendly. We saw no rep the whole time we were there from thompson, and received no advice on how to book shows or tours. we did this through an external agency. My advice is to go next time and book it via the internet. The thompson holiday was very very over priced!!!!

Just returned from staying at the Terralta Apartments with my partner and 2 kids, we stayed for 2 weeks, didn't have any complaints at all, apartment well looked after, cleaner in a few times a week. Staff very friendly, food very nice, pool great, entertainment ok,
