Accessibility
The apartment is accessed by 4 flights of approx. 9 steps, with no lift, so is unsuitable for people with mobility problems.
Outside
Private car parking area on ground level beneath and around the apartment block, accessed through a locked gate with remote opening mechanism. Outdoors showers are provided for rinsing off sand and sea. The beach is reached by literally just walking across the road! On the beach there is a climbing-frame for the children, a volleyball net, and palm-trees for shade.
Coast/Beach
The beach is literally over the road. The sea is shallow just outside the apartment, making it ideal for children, with a lovely sandy beach. Palm trees planted in the sand make a shady area when the sun is hot. There is a climbing frame and volley-ball net close by.
Golf
New golf course approx. 1 mile away at Terra Mitica, Benidorm's theme park.
Travel
The nearest airport is Alicante, approximately 40 minutes drive away along the motorway. Taxis are readily available there, in 2007 the charge was approx. £35 each way. There are many car hire companies both at the airport and in Benidorm, if you feel like sight-seeing. We can arrange an English taxi from the airport if needed.
Distances
Benidorm "old town" is about 5 mins. away by bus (approx. 50p per person), or a 30 minute gentle stroll along the front.
Further details
There is a row of shops behind the apartment block, with a bar, tobacco and drink shop, chemist and supermarket. The chemists in Spain are more highly qualified than in Britain, and can advise you should you have health problems, saving a trip to the Doctor. There are cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance, with many different cuisines. Benidorm itself is only a short bus ride away, and is a wonderful shopping area, ranging from 'cheap and cheerful' for the kids, to designer shops. There is also a market twice a week. La Marina, close to the apartment, also has designer shops, a cinema showing some English films, bowling alley, and theme pubs on the roof terrace! There is live music here during the summer months. There is also an enormous Carrefour situated next to it, all only a few minutes drive/bus ride from our apartment. There is lots to do - apart from the huge Terra Mitica theme park close to the apartment, there is Aqualandia (a water park for those hot summer days) and Mundomar next to it, with exotic birds and plants. For a really special night, try 'Benidorm Palace', a truly exotic show, where you can also dine if you want to. For more sightseeing hire a car, or book a coach trip, to Guadalest and the Fonts d'Algar. The scenery is breathtaking, and Guadalest itself is an old monastery/castle set in narrow streets. At the Fonts you can bathe in clear pools and waterfalls.

Guest comments
'We had a lovely time. Thank you for the directions - they were excellent. We really appreciated the private parking. We felt the flat was beautifully equipped and appreciated the washing machine and fridge. The welcome note we received on arrival was welcome as was the water and milk left for us.' PB Halesowen.
'We had a very enjoyable time and the apartment was truly amazing. So close to the beach and restaurants with Benidorm Old Town being such a surprise. We enjoyed trying to get lost only to find that we were locating such treasures as the tapas street and wonderful aromas from spanish restaurants. Your directions to the apartment were so easy to follow and had a great time at the Ginger Nuts. Also discovered the great little spanish bakery around the corner. Away to start saving up for the next Benidorm break. Thanks again" John and Glynis, Glasgow.
