THIS APARTMENT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE GIBRALTAR TOURIST BOARD. Another Jackie Hobbs quality apartment. This is a stunning beach front apartment which overlooks the sea and up the coast of Spain plus looking towards Africa - a view totally unrivalled. A wonderful beach family holiday apartment with the sounds of the sea sending you to sleep each night. The new owners of this apartment have refurbished with taste and style plus incorporating necessities such as air-conditioning, overhead fans, microwave and washing machine. It is on the ground floor of the Both Worlds complex with just a few steps down to the beach overlooked by lifeguards. A good bus service operates to and from all over Gibraltar which means that there is no requirement for a car, however on-road parking is there. Unlike other apartments in Both Worlds this does not suffer from damp or ants.

Peace-- allmost own beach

Hershy United Kingdom
Review Submitted: May 15, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
It was glorious out there ,we had a fantastic time on what was almost our own beach, Sunshine at the beach from sunrise to mid afternoon (about 4pm in May) then it gets a bit shady, we then went (by the good number 4 bus) to the other side of the rock, for a few more hours of sunshine and apes...
Excellent flat, was clean and well prepared, with whatever you may need on holiday, to hand, we enjoyed a very relaxing peaceful holiday away, its very good place for people looking for a quite, relaxing, sunny holiday
Owner's Response: This was a very last minute holiday for you but it worked out brilliantly. The weather in Gibraltar was simply wonderful last week and I am so pleased you and your wife enjoyed everything. Thank you for your comments, best wishes, Jackie

Beautiful views and everything you need!

chimpanste North Warnborough, Hampshire
Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We stayed in this apartment in mid September for a week and had a great time! The apartment was very clean and modern with good air con and we really felt at home for a week. In fact I think it was the most relaxing holiday we've ever been on! Spent alot of time enjoying the views and making the most of a virtually private beach. Neighbours were friendly too!

We found Both Worlds a quiet retreat from the busy town, which is easily accessible on the No.4 bus route. Catalan Bay is also a lovely place, just a short walk down the road. We spent many evenings with a glass of wine watching the sea.

We had everything we needed in the apartment - even a pair of binoculars to look at the strange tankers on the horizon and a cheeky ape sitting on a roof. Morrisons was easy to get to on the bus, so we actually ate in most nights making full use of the kitchen. On the last night we went to La Mamela, the seafood restaurant at Catalan Bay.

We were lucky to see the Red Arrows practicing for their show on the last day. They flew right past the apartment quite unexpectedly. Brilliant!

All in all we would definitely recommend this apartment and will be booking in again when we next visit Gibraltar. Thanks Jackie, it was lovely!

NO BETTER PLACE TO GO, HOME FROM HOME

Review Submitted: July 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
The apartment has everything possible, beach, views, security and on main bus route to shops in Gibraltar town.
Sitting with a glass of wine in day or evening time on the balcony over looking the beach and sea, there is no better way of chilling out.
Our complements to the owners, we are already booked for 2010.

Review Submitted: July 5, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
my husband and i have just returned from a weeks holiday at both worlds, we had an amazing time ,we found the apartment to be of an excellent standard with every room being spotless and highly equipt with everything you could possibly want, it certainly had the home from home feeling , and that made it a pleasure staying there ,the closeness to the beach was great and the weather was wall to wall sunshine , the gibraltarian people are amongst the friendliest we have met and we certainly hope to return again next year :-)

The Very Best of Both Worlds

DolphinGirl Gloucestershire, UK
Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We had a great time. We took the buses daily around Gib(all day ticket £1.50 for adults) . The apartment was so tranquil we spent most afternoons and evenings there. I went snorkling with the small fish shoals every afternoon and paddling every morning. The beach door lock does work, you just need the patience of a saint. We saw dolphins passing by, 3 cormorants fishing together and a family of Rock apes came to visit us while we were waiting at the bus stop (if you ignore them they wonder off with no trouble). The ships anchored at sea became part of our everyday lives especially when they were all lit up at night. To hear the waves and smell the sea without being on a ship, I think is definitely the Best of Both Worlds.
Some advice: This June the sea was quite cold, I took a shortie wetsuit (in one of those space bags), which allowed me to stay in the water longer I used it everyday. Big suitcases can be a problem with the stairs, mainly because the weather was hot when we were there, so it was hard work, we will scale down next time we visit. The washing machine in the apartment was excellent. Everything about the apartment was well thought out and easy to use. The sofa bed in the lounge (which has wooden slats) was very comfortable and simple to use.

Thanks Jackie, for another wonderful place to stay in Gib.
