Just come back from a week here. Absolutely loved it. Never been to El toro before normally visit the north of the island but I can honestly say this place knocks socks off Alcudia and Pollenca!! The view form the balcony is quite something. The port is great, beach is fantastic and if you love the sea but your kids moan about sandy feet then is the place... Just slip into the sea from rocks where sea is at knee level. The sea is completely clear and calm and great for snorkelling. The kids hired kyaks in the port to paddle around the bay and had a great time very reasonably priced too. There was lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance and again were very good and reasonably priced. The El toro beach bar and restaurant was great, lovely staff and great food. For the first time ever on holiday we didn't use the pool as the sea was so great but as we were ordering food in the restaurant there would have been no charge. We had a hire car so visited Santa Ponca which was a few minutes down the road and also went into magaluf one evening.....That was an eye opener!! We did a big food shop at Lidl which was about a 10 minute car ride away. I usually get eaten alive by mosquitos when staying on the north part of the island so was very pleased to return home with just 1 bite. With regards to apartment it was so lovely, clean and well equipped. There are some basics there such as tea bags, sugar, salt, shampoo, hand wash, bin bags, washing up liquid and much much more to get you started before you hit the shops although we didn't use any of it apart from washing up liquid and hand soap (which we did replace) it was a nice touch. I suffer with a back problem so always worry about beds when going on holiday but the mattress was great. The only negative about the apartment was the wifi... It was shockingly bad and when you have teenagers constantly moaning it starts to wear thin but as my father in law pointed out on our arrival home if your only problem was the wifi then there was no problem at all.

I do feel that the apartment needs a safe to put your valuables in while you out.

P.S. The directions to the apartment were spot on. We arrived at midnight so were travelling in the dark and parking was never a problem at the apartment.
