Pierre & Vacances Resort Terrazas Costa del Sol

Huge resort with an ocean view, on a beautiful hillside. we could see the rock of Gibraltar from our balcony! the apartment we got had one bedroom, a comfortable living/dining/kitchenette space, and a spacious balcony with swallow nests! we arrived late and left early so we did not use the pool or any other facilities. the property seemed well kept, in early June there was plenty of parking and the check-in process was lengthy and you do have to check-out. there is a mandated deposit fee of €200 that they charge to your credit card and they said would be refunded “automatically “ once they check that all is ok, that you took out the trash and left the dishes washing in the dishwasher and I guess all other stuff is ok. I was not aware of this. other hotels put a hold/ this property actually billed my credit card which was a surprise. I’m sure I will see the credit soon/ fingers crossed.

The tv was too small and set on a corner of the living room area. we didn’t use it but if you wanted to, and you were 4 in this tiny area, I’m not sure how that would have worked out. We learned that the swallow nests are protected. Good! I feel they should have let us know they were there: I was quite surprised, at first I thought they were wasps! so glad the birds are protected, it was a pleasure to watch them fly.

When it come to review i always involve my family, and their feedback were view toward the Gibraltar, the ocean, hills, roads they were lovely. The pool, my kids love it, but since the weather a bit cold at that time, not much spend our time in this spot. After spending the whole day taking trip to around the Malaga province, we can rest and sleep on quite nice and clean bed for sure. The receptionist were very friendly and quite helpful for any query we had at that time.

It will be great if we can have a bit bigger television :D.

The apartaments were very lovely ,clean and comfortable

The deposit which we didn't know about but possibly didn't read about in the rules and regulations so please make sure to read ! It was quite a distance away from the beach so not on the beach at all and there are parking fees plus a distance away from reception! If you have a lot of luggage and need to walk from the street it's quite a distance bare that in mind ! You'll need to get in through the gate by ringing the bell 🔔

The accommodation/apartment was really good. It was clean and the minimum for the stay were ensured. We had a cleaning kit for the kitchen and shampoo and bath gel. Staff and entertainment team are very friendly and the pools are good and clean. The day with family games at the pool was really funny and great.

There should be more pool beds (people reserve them without being in use and there is no supervision upon this). The pool bar could have some light meals. There could be more entertainment activities in the pool like in our last day. The dancing activity at the pool (music choreographies) is really great but they only do 2 or 3 musics.

Private accommodation, home from home, very clean all facilities for a self catered holiday. Pools were exceptional. Always sunbeds available throughout the day. The place was out of the way. You need a car to get out and about but the kids loved it. The resort was locked so the kods were able to roam abd play freely and were safe. The staff were friendly. All in all a very pleasant stay and i would atay again thank you.

No entertainment in the evenings, not a major issue just would havw been nice.

Really clean, nice - amazing views - we enjoyed the Gibraltar every morning from the balcony, nice swimming pool, well equipped, nice staff.

Parking near the apartments costs additionaly, also some minor improvements could be done- the fridge did not close properely, the dishwasher could not start. The apartments are located far away from the sea and town, but with a car it is not a problem.

Staff are amazing 👏 everything is excellent. Jorge and team are absolutely the best 👌 Me and my hubby enjoyed the games and so did our kids will deffinately repeat. We love this place we have come roughly 6 or 7 times

Nothing we didn't like

Great for kids. Mini market was good value. Pools for great.

Resort should provide pool towels. Bathroom towels were only changed after 5 days which was not frequent enough. We stayed for 8 nights so sheets should be changed. Not enough kitchen supplies.

The apartment was compact and had most basic essentials and was close to the amenities onsite. However, a car was needed as it’s situated in a residential area off a dual carriage way.

The apartment lacked a few basic essentials such as a toaster and the kettle was full of soap, so we didn’t use it.

The restaurant staff were very friendly, the lifeguards very efficient and on top of everything that was happening in the pools. All the facilities were clean and well kept. The food at dinner buffet was very good.

Lack of basic cleaning products for the apartment such as washing up liquid and washing up sponges, kitchen towel, kitchen paper. There was a dishwasher but no dishwasher tablets so we couldn't use it. Also, I messaged and emailed the property several times to inquire whether we could bring two dogs and I got no reply. I also phoned several times and my call was never answered. Upon our arrival, the receptionist asked whether we HAD brought our two dogs, so I know my messages had been received but I wasn't replied to at all. Lighting was also very dim in all areas of the apartment when the curtains are closed.
