We considered staying in the Algeciras area for our day trip to Gibraltar and for our ferry ride to Morocco. Last minute we switched to Vista Real. So glad we did. The area was more quiet, open and safe. Still within about a 30 minute drive to both Gibraltar Algeciras. Our apartment has lots of room and was very clean. Perfect for our family of four. The pool was refreshing, clean and enjoyable. You need a car if you are staying here as there did not appear to be easy access to public transportation and not much is around. The only thing that could be improved would be to update the rooms. They felt a little outdated. Otherwise, all was great. We would stay here again.
