Holiday Village Terrazas Costa del Sol

Check in was really easy and fairly quick, but trying to find our apartment was slightly tricky! Once found though it wasn't to bad, basic but clean, kitchen needs upgrading as in the cupboard doors are rotting, couple of ants in the drawer but soon got rid of and they didn't come back. There was a tear in the bed sheet and what looked like a blood stain on the spare duvet. I would have uploaded the photo but it has not saved.... The grounds need more maintenance, the walkways have lifted and the ground was breaking up, I did trip up but luckily stayed on my feet, (I need to use a walking stick so not ideal), you need a torch at night as the lighting is not the greatest. We did not use the pool so cannot comment on that but we did walk around the complex and there are two pools which looked clean, we sampled the poolside bar and bar food and again not bad, not brilliant but ok. They do allow pets and the apartment above ours decided to bring 3 dogs which barked everytime someone walked past or they saw another dog, personally I don't think they should be allowed but other travellers might not be bothered. Having to pay for parking is a stretch too far really, 5 euros per day or 7 euros per day if you want to park underground, you can park on the street which we did. You definitely need a car as the nearest place is about 10 mins drive away, the place is quite tricky to find and you definitely need a satnav. Also the agents do not mention when booking that you need to leave a 200 euro deposit on arrival, we booked with On The Beach. If you like fish and chips then you have to go to Skippers in Sabinilla, tapas, can recommend La Casita in the same place and for evening meals too, Estapona is a beautiful place too. We stayed from the 17th to the 24th Sept 2022
