...And no mice!!!

The very name struck fear into my heart (and my arse - see previous visit). Turkey didn't sound too appealing, but the Terralta apartments were slowly winning us over.
Set slightly out of town (there is a trek of about 1.5km from the town centre and most of it's uphill - taxis are about 3-4 euros from the old town back though), it commands some good views and must be one of the only LOW-RISE hotels in the area.
The accomodation is extremely clean and well-kept and the maid service is regular. All furnishings ae up to date and there is loads of wardrobe and drawer space. We were right outside a little kiddies playground, just before the enormous pool!
Even though we went in October/November last year, it still reached mid-late 20's, but the slowly shelving pool was a bit cold. They've got another though at the back which is covered and a bit warmer.
Special mentions to the receptionist, who couldn't do enough for you (makes a change) and the mighty Alvaro. A sort of Spanish version of Gladys Pugh (along with the sound effect on the PA).
With a beard.
Face Painting, Discos, Quizzes, Shuffleboard, Rifle Shooting, you name it - he was there, and kept the kids entertained no end.
I would definitely come back to the Terralta as it's a fantastic hotel and a lot of the other hotels in Benidorm could learn a lot from it. Just a shame about the location.
