Hotel Apartamentos Vista Real (Alcaidesa, Spain)

The resort would be attractive for those on extended stays or those travelling with another couple. Each bedroom has its own full bath and the apartments are spacious. The kitchen is functional and comes with utensils and flatware. There are large balconies that are furnished and plenty of car parking.

The beach is a quiet place for relaxation at any time of year. During out-of-season, you'll practically have it to yourself. It's an easy walk there with beautiful views of the nearby Gibraltar rock.

There are several golf courses nearby and all are short drives from the resort. The courses are excellent, with some being quite challenging and others having stunning views of the ocean. Most have clubhouses with food options and you can even look forward to a mobile bar on one course.

Anything and everything is at least a ten-minute walk. There is a small market nearby, but no other food or pub options. Entertainment, other than golf, is a far drive.

The technology here leaves a lot to be desired. The WiFi service is terrible and is limited to one device per unit. There are very few channels on the TV. Also, there are few amenities other than unheated outdoor pool.

Many of the rooms have seen better days, with older furnishings and bedding. The one-bedroom units have no ovens or dishwashers and very limited cutlery. The bar and shop onsite is not open all year round.
