Hi All

I am coming out to Terrazas on 13th July with a friend for a week.  We will not have any transport so if we want to go anywhere we will need to use Taxis.  Firstly does anyone know a good reliable taxi firm who we can call if we want to go out, and secondly, has anyone used the online shopping yet? I have tried to get online several times, but the link keeps sending me to the wrong site.  It is about half a mile to the shop on Terrazas from my apartment, and I am unsure what times the shop is even open! I also am partially disabled so cannot walk far, so am concerned about walking back with all my shopping! Can anyone help me to find out how to do my shopping online or suggest a reasonably priced taxi service? Many thanks.

Sharon

Hi - Balsicas Taxis are great there number is 0034696157460 or 0034636006855 my parents have just been for 8 days to our apartment and managed very well using the taxi service and the security guys at the gate were really helpful.

Not used the online shopping service yet - sorry.

Good Luck

Lynne

Hi Lynne

I have managed to find out that the online shopping no longer exists as there was not enough demand!! We were out there from 23rd May to 8th June but we went over in our car to take all the items to the apartment to set it up! This time I am going over with a friend.  The security guards are brilliant, they do a great job!! Thanks for the taxi number, that is a great help, I think we are going to walk to the supermarket on site and take an empty suitcase with us to fill it up!!! Hopefully that will allow us to just do one big shop that will hopefully last us the week!  We have basics there already but fresh stuff and of course wine will be needed!!!  Thanks for your help, very much appreciated!!

  Hi,

 The supermarket at La Torre has a sign that saying that you can shop on line & they will deliver.

  Sorry i don,t have a telephone number.

 The guards on the gate might have the number for the supermarket.

 Hope this helps    Clieve   [ Clive & Eve

Hi Clive & Eve

I managed to get a reply from the Customer Service team at Polaris World yesterday, and apparently the online shopping no longer exists due to lack of demand! Thanks though for the reply! Think we have decided that we will bring across some powdered milk with us so we can have a cuppa when we arrive, I already have some bottled water at the apartment, and we will go to the shop at Terrazas on the Thursday morning with an empty suitcase and stock up (mainly with wine and beer!!!) for the week! We will manage one way or another!!

Have been back a week from our visit to Terrazas! Feels like it was months ago! Unfortunately Balsicas taxis were a disaster and after driving round the site for 10 minutes said they couldn't find us and went home! Wasn't helped by the fact that the security guard told them there was no such block as ours!! When I rang the taxi company back to see where the taxi was, a very rude man told me there was no such block and hung up on me!!! I rang the security gate, and the guard then told me that the taxi had gone and he had phoned another taxi company, Roldan taxis, and they were there within 10 minutes! What a fiasco, and I did wonder if maybe the guard was on commission, because he had a card ready for me at the gate with the Roldan taxis number on it!! Hmmmm!!! Never mind, we were ok in the end!!! Thankfully we met 2 ladies from Ireland, Caroline and Elaine, who very kindly taxied us around after coming to say hello to us on the Saturday, and in return we bought them a few drinks and cooked a meal on our last night!!! We also managed the shopping, we walked to the shop on 3 occasions, not easy in that heat, but we took our hand luggage cases and managed to get enough food in to last for the first few days - and of course the wine and beer!!!!  Unfortunately the shop on site was lacking in quite a few items of fresh vegetables, there were no onions, garlic, lettuce or celery, which they had at the La Torre shop in abundance! Not sure that I want to go all the way to La Torre to buy my fruit and salad, and I would have thought they would have the same choices at both shops! We still had a great week, and I felt very sad locking up the apartment knowing I wouldn't be back until September!! No need to worry about taxis or shopping then either, as we are coming across with the car and my lovely black Labrador Jess! It will be her first visit to our apartment, can't wait to see what she makes of it!! Hope all is well with Caroline and Elaine, who are staying until the end of August! Wish I was there too!!!
