Terrace Club Reviews

The hotel was clean spacious and close enough to the beaches and local services. The area was quiet but had enough quality restaurants to give us a sense of luxury. We were on a budget and made good use of the self catering facilities with lots of room on the balconies for breakfast and supper. The staff were friendly and professional .... there has been much said about a grumpy man in reception the continental equivalent of the English guest house landlady. All in all a great bargain holiday and a beach to die for and the kids liked the pool

We arrived at the apartments at 1.30am after a delayed flight very weary and our 3 1/2 yr old was quite grumpy. When we got there there was a note on the door to say the key was under the pot! I lifted the pot and there was one envelope with someone else's names on it. Fortunately there appeared a guy at reception so I went to ask him. I explained we were booked in but there only seemed to be this one envelope with someone else's names on - he assured me that we were the only and last ones to book in that time scale so we should just take those keys. I confirmed with him twice if this was ok and he assured me so. So we took those keys and wearily found our way to the apartment, didn't bother unpacking and went to bed. We were awoken the next morning by someone trying to get into the apartment - the people whose keys they were had arrived after us that night and ended up sleeping in the car because we had taken their keys. Following ensued an arguement at reception between me, the other people whose apartment it was and another guy behind reception. I was accused of just taking the keys without checking and was made to feel really bad. Even after me explaining what had happened no-one seemed to believe me and the the whole of the 10 days whenever I saw these other people they scowled at us and generally made us feel unwelcome. That aside the apartment we finally got was huge and very roomy with a great sea view. The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful, the pool was excellent and the beach nearby was about 5 minutes walk, very picturesque and there is a tunnel through the rock to another beach which was quite quirky! On the beach you can hire sit on top Kayaks and pedal boats, the kayaks are a particularly great way to explore the coastline and all the caves - some of which are breathtaking. There is a supermarket about 10 minutes walk away, and all before that on the same walk, an Italian restaurant, a Thai restaurant, a small local bar which serves really good food we nicknames the "cheap and cheerful!" which is just before the Thai restaurant on the left, an english bar which does all day breakfast, a local seafood restaurant which appears to be stuck in the 1970's but is a really interesting place to eat. There are 2 waterparks nearby, Slide & Splash and Aqualand - both within 30 minutes drive from the apartments - we visited both and Slide and Splash does cater for a wider age group (we had a 3 1/2 yr old and a 16 yr old and both loved it) but it's busier whereas Aqualand is much quieter and you get on the rides quicker but isn't as good for the little ones. Great sunsets in the evening, our apartment had fans in the bedrooms and living room which were very welcome - but there's no kettle so making a cup of tea in the morning is a bit of a mission!!

First of all I don't know why this place has had bad reviews, the rooms where clean very spacious all necessary amenities and the staff were polite and friendly. The beaches which are 5 mins walk away are the best I have seen and I have seen allot of Europe's so called best beaches. We stayed self catering a family of 3, myself wife and 2 year old boy which is probably the best. As it was at the start of June the weather was great not too hot average 25 Deg and not too busy in fact some times we had the beach to ourselves. You may think this is too quiet but the fact is there are so many beaches to choose from there are over 10 beaches within 20 miles of coast and five right on your doorstep. I would also recommend you take the little boat trip and see the caves that surround the beautiful beaches along the coast at a price of 15 Euro its worth every penny. There are plenty of nice restaurants if you don't mind spending half an hour looking round the local area and the nearest large town is 20 mins walk with a child in tow if you want to do a little shopping. The local supermarket is 5 mins walk away and is bigger than most town supermarkets in the UK and has everything you need. If you don't have a car which we didn't the local bus service goes to all the major larger towns and cities. There are also lots of trips you can do through your hotel to all the major cities or historical places. I would highly recommend this place to everyone and the price is simply unbeatable for the area you are staying. Best time of year to go start of June to end of June if you want your own beach.
