I went to the Terralta with my Mum back in July. We had a fantastic time! We were a bit worried on the first day as we walked for ages and found nothing of great interest and as my mum had been to Benidorm before she was worried as she could find nothing she recognised but we asked at reception and the lovely lady behind the counter told us there was a bus outside every hour which took you right in to the centre. My Mum is 50 and I am 20 so we weren't going for anything mad but the entertainment in Benidorm is second to none and we had a fantastic time.



The apartment we had was fantastic, clean, spacious and everything we could have asked for and more. The maid service was twice a week and all the staff were very friendly. Our apartment was right at the end of the complex so was very quiet at all times of the day but still very close to the pool and bars.



I'm now looking to visit again Benidorm again with my boyfriend, we'll definitely go back to the Terralta!

Having stayed at the Terralta Apartments we were a little annoyed at first because of the location, once inside we changed our opinion. We were greeted by Maria a lovely girl who works on the recepcion. Once in our room we were surprised at how clean, modern and well equiped they were. After sorting ourselfs out we called in on the site shop and got a few basics; milk, bread etc. A young lad who spoke better english than us was running the shop, I must say it was better stocked than any other I have been in with everything from kippers to yorkshire pudding. The bar staff a bit moody tho but not that bad, over all will be back.

These apartments cannot be faulted for cleanliness. This was the second time we have been for a long stay and we have already booked for 2008. The first year we had a room overlooking the pool and we have requested this again for next year as we find facing the road you only get the sun late on.



The staff are really friendly and helpful.



There is a small shop on site, although the supermarkets are very reasonable and if you catch the bus back it will only cost you one euro.



We found when the weather was bad that we could use the heated indoor pool - which is a bonus.

As a family of five 4 adults and one 2 year old, we found the hotel to be perfect, very clean and the pool area ideal, even a play area for the little one which she really enjoyed. The staff were excellent and really helpful. In all a fabulous holiday.



The only drawback for some people was the walk up the road, we were ok, but many a time would catch a taxi which cost around 7 Euros, be careful some taxi driver tried to charge up much more but we stood or ground and only paid 7 Euros, this only happened once as the rest were ok.



The hotel is set a little way back and up a hill but after seeing all the high rise we were glad to be in a 3 storey apartment, the walk down to town was pleasant but many would need to catch a taxi back, the bus stops outside the apartments and was used by many people stopping at the Terralta.



In all a lovely holiday, and thank you to bed bookers who replied promptly with any enquiries, we would not hesitate to use them again.

This is the second time we have...

This is the second time we have been to the Terralta Apts. They are the best we have stayed in.



They have fridge freezer, microwave, hob, hair dryer, large rooms. The staff are very nice will do anything for you.



All day long there is plenty for children to do we didn’t see our son who is 11 years old, there was games for them to join in and on the ground floor under the bar was a large games room with pool, machines, and other things in.



Our daughter went a few times to the kids club which was very secure and the staff was very good with the children, if you book yourself you just pay the staff.



The meals was nice what we had, the Terralta burger was the best, but we went out a lot for meals. Iif you like pizzas try Al Terrazzo’s in the town just past a very good Chinese called Pato Laquedo right on the front near the walk way.



The Stretford utd bar was also nice for food opposite burger king at the bottom of the hill near apt. The only thing that was not as good from last year was the entertainment Eva left on our second week and the other girl didn’t know what to do. So I hope Eva goes back as we have already booked for next August.



We would recommend the Terralta to any one. The hill outside is steep especially if you are old or pushing a pram but the bus stops outside and taxis are cheap.



There is also a very large pool with a life guard all day 10-6pm and a indoor pool as well.

The Terralta apartments are the best I've ever stayed in, they were well equipped with everything you need, cooker, microwave, even a hairdryer!



The only downside was the hill into the resort, but you soon got used to it and the bus stopped outside every hour and take you into town for 1 euro.



A must is Aqualandia, mundomar and terra mitica, brilliant for kids and adults!



I found the food in Benidorm brilliant with many places to choose from and also very cheap, the best being Pato Laquedo a Chinese restaurant in the old town, well worth a visit.



Planning to go back next year, as didn't have the chance to do half the things we wanted to in a week!

Hi were just back from the Terralta Apartments in Benidorm and we had a fabulous time.



When we arrived it was really heavy rain and we were disappointed obviously but the rest of the holiday the weather was lovely. The apartments were spotless with a nice bright décor, lots of room in them with all your home essentials; fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave, kettle etc.



Maid service was twice a week which we probably could have done with another change of towels. The staff were really friendly always willing to answer any questions, the entertainment wasn't that great especially the karaoke.



The pool was lovely, we were there with our daughter who's 2 and a half so we spent most days on the beach as she loved playing in the sand, the walk to the beach really isn't bad at all and we really enjoyed the walk.



The only thing I would say is we had to go to Levante nearly every night to eat as there isn’t a great choice of restaurants in Poniente. The restaurant in the Terralta was really nice and a lot of choice.



I would definitely recommend these apartments to anyone, especially families that don’t want to be right in the middle of all the pubs and clubs.

It was the first time my wife...

It was the first time my wife and I have ever been abroad, and I don’t think we could have chosen a better place to go.



The cleanliness of the resort, the friendliness of the staff and the overall package was first class. Benidorm itself was really good with lots to see and do, a bit of a walk back to the apartments but a taxi also does the job, and not very dear either.



All in all a great time for our first time and we would definitely go back.

My husband and I stayed at the Terralta for the second time and we loved it again.



The rooms are clean and spacious with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The staff are very friendly and helpful.



Location is not so good for people with walking difficulties because of the long walk down to the nearest bar (good for us after all the food we'd eaten!!).



However there was a bus every hour and taxi's were only around 6 euro. We would definitely recommend these apartments. The pool is cold but gorgeous when sun is shining.



The tour operator we used were very efficient too. Overall an excellent holiday!!

The Terralta apartments were really really nice. Very clean, nice and relaxing.

The staff were really nice especially the bar staff who actually gave me a free ice cream as I used to buy about 4 a day(not much but a nice gesture).



The weather was nice and hot, air con worked perfect, easy to use.



It was a bit of a walk to the town but its not really a problem as there is always something to look at or a shop to look in.



I do recommend the Aqualandia water park and terra mitica theme park both booked through the rep at the hotel at a very good price.



Food was good with quite a bit to choose from. Plenty to do during the day and evening within the hotel and Benidorm as it is a short walk to the beach. They will call a taxi for you if you fancy being lazy like me.



The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 was because the entertainers were not all great, they were two Spanish girls on there first week so it wasn’t greatly organised, it was actually entertainment in its self at how bad they were. Think they were moving on at the end of the month though.



Overall it was a brilliant holiday and anyone thinking of going should go as it was excellent, I would defiantly go back to Terralta without a doubt.

So enjoy if you go!!!!

I went there with my daughter who is 10 and my friend with her son who is 4. I must say out of all the resorts I been to in Spain this one is definately the best yet. The rooms were spotless the staff were very friendly all spoke really good english. The entertainment was good, there was excellent entertainment for the children our kids really enjoyed spending time with them and joining in there activities.



The food was ok nothing special but it did the job. Taxis and buses were frequent the beach was 15 min walk, 2 mins on the bus or taxi which were both reasonable prices. They had their 5th anniversary when we were there so they gave everyone free beer, sangria with a buffet and some fun games. At night there was a free raffle with lots of prizes and the first prize was a weeks free accom back at the terralta which my friend and I won so as you can imagine we were well chuffed. So all in all marks out of 10. When asking my daughter where she would like to go next year she said "TERRALTA". See you all soon.

My partner and I have just had a week at the Terralta, we booked a last minute named on arrival deal, imagine our relief after we saw all the tower blocks in Levante that other people were dropped off at, when we arrived at the Terralta! We had a ground floor room in block one facing the pool.



The room was spotless, very roomy, and well equipped with appliances for self catering; the bathroom was excellent as well. As already mentioned the onsite shop was ok for basics.



The restaurant and bar were very good with not too bad a menu. All the waiters and staff were friendly and spoke better English than I speak Spanish. Reception was open 24 hours a day and sold English newspapers each morning.



The local bus stopped right outside though we never used it, preferring to walk downhill into town, and getting a taxi back which cost roughly 5 Euros. The pool was great with water features for the kids and a Jacuzzi section in it and plenty of sun loungers and also a poolside bar.



There also is an Adults only pool plus a gym and steam room, plus a large games room full of pool tables and electronic games downstairs in the main building.



The complex entertainment with Isaac and Liffy was constant with sporting activities in the day and quizzes, bingo in the evenings, with outside shows coming in a couple of nights - not West End quality but who cares.. You didn't have to watch it!



Happy Hour every night was very welcome... They had their Fifth Anniversary on our last day with free food, lager and Sangria and then a free raffle and show with fireworks



All in all we were both sad to leave the Terralta, and not only due to the fact that all the other hotels we passed paled into comparison, but because it was that good... If we do venture back to Benidorm again, the Terralta would be my first choice.

My wife and I have visited the terralta apartments on many occasions, and are regulars to benidorm on a whole.



On all our holidays at the Terralta we found that it was by far the best self catering holiday we have ever had, great views, fantastic pools and all staff had a superb attitude and were always happy to help!



the rooms were great; they were spotless and had everything we required for our stay.

The onsite laundrette was really handy too.



Although location was uphill, we found it very easy to get around as the bus stopped outside and was only one euro to travel. (taxis quite cheap also)



Didn’t really bother with the entertainment but seemed that there was plenty going on!

the food in the restaurant was more than adequate and it was cheap enough to eat there too. We often had our breakfast there.



All together we think that the terralta is the perfect holiday any time of the year with something for everyone and would highly recommend it. In fact were back there in three weeks time for a great family holiday in a large group. :o)

These apartments are fabulous....

These apartments are fabulous. Really couldn’t believe it when we walked in our room.



The view was spectacular. Couldn’t be better. We were facing the pool on the top floor (which is the 3rd floor). Both pools were very clean.



The apartment was spotless and the maid came twice in the week that we stayed.



All the staff were very friendly and helpful.



A bus stopped right outside the apartments which took you to the square (where all the clubs and bars were) and that was only 1 euro.



There were lifts for every apartment block.



I would definitely go here again and would recommend to people of all ages.
