hi john
not too far away then,been going twenty years now, first went with the girls when i was 18.
we usually stop near the yellow brick road but always used to walk down to the ski lifts on the beach and indoor market for money changing.
was pricing hotels up but was coming up very expensive.
found los torres apartments, was a bargain with 2 bedrooms, really excited to be stopping down this end for a change.
only 6 weeks left till we go cant wait giggle giggle.

Yeah we always stay in the new end due to elderly family as they know that end and it isnt as confusing. Went once on AOA basis and ended up at the Terralta. Way too far out for us and the entertainment was that shocking i ended up DJ'ing one night which now has lead to 1-2 weeks each year in some of the best clubs in benidorm. KM and Mansion to name a couple. Word spreads fast.

Las torres is ok for the price. Rooms are quite spacious too. Would i go back? Yes i would but only providing my options on the levante beach apts or levante club were too expensive or sold out.

We always go based on price and usually stay at the Levante Beach apts..but they were being refurbed this year so i stayed at levante lux and i booked the rest of my family into levante club in a 2 bedroom apartment for �100 total for 2 weeks, and as i knew the management i got them all inclusive drinks and a full board meal package thrown in.

I find apartments more than adequate for my need as im usually DJ'ing until dawn and then sleeping the majority of the day. Last year i stayed at the Bali for 4 nights on a promotional festival for a new record brand. Cant really complain as i didnt pay but its way too far out. It was nothing special and i just wanted a cheap apartment as i felt more comfortable and had a lot easier access to shops and everything i knew.

If you book flights seperately, theres a guy that rents out a big apartment for cheap which has a washer/satillite tv etc. He owns the shop next door but one to the albatros todo that i was telling you about and has business cards. I think it was �150 total for a week with a max occupancy of 4.

Im sure you'll enjoy it anyway. Got a bag full of leaflets and documentation on trips and things here along with a 3D hotel map which has always been a minefield of information when trying to locate apartments and hotels. If you'd like one, i can always pop one in the post for you as i brought back around 8 to send to members should they fancy brushing up.

Ive been going around 10 years ish, varying between once to twice a year although for the past 4 years i fly out every march/april for the busy easter weekend and usually DJ and depending how busy it is in summer and demand, maybe a few nights then. On the odd occasion i may go out early october and wave goodbye to the summer season for a week.

All the best
John
