Lagotel hotel, Playa de Muro-Alcudia- Majorca

Advantages: Good 3* family hotel
Disadvantages: Bit of a walk into Alcudia

...Lagotel Hotel- Alcudia, Majorca Flight 2 hours from Cardiff to Palma, with first choice passed by quickly thank-goodness not a flyer! Transfer This took approx 50 minutes. Resort On arrival check-in was efficient and staff polite but a little stern looking. The hotel is outside Alcudia in Playa De Muro but the buses are regular and cheap to the strip. The hotel as a courtesy bus to the beach, which is lovely, shallow and white sand and ample sun beds and umbrellas. Hotel On arrival check-in was efficient and staff polite but a little stern looking. Lobby was quite spacious with ample seating and also Internet facilities, with Reps desks at the end. Off the lobby was a large bar with satellite TV and games machines for the children to waste their money on. This is also where they held the entertainment in the evening...

Review of Hotel Lagotel, Majorca

Alcudia the holiday resort!

Advantages: Good weather, nice beach
Disadvantages: smells bad at night, quite crowded

...at the beach from peddle boats (with slides on the back) to banana boating. They had other boat trips too. The beach is full of sunbeds with straw parasols over them. If you take one men come round trying to sell coconuts. On another day we were told there was a market in the town which was a 45 minute walk from our hotel (lagamonte), or a 10 minute bus journey. The bus however is always packed on market days, so we decided to walk. The town has a little more majorca culture than Alcudia resort. A wall goes around it, which we walked along. Inside the town the market was huge, it mainly sells leather goods, like handbags and belts. We also found the local supermarket here and the prices were a lot cheaper than on the resort. To one side of the town we found the local bull ring, which is free to enter when there are no events. Events...

Lagomonte Hotel, Alcudia................

Advantages: A brill place for kids and familys.............
Disadvantages: none......

...This hotel is very nice, set at the back of Alcudia away from the hustle bustle of the pubs in the centre. They have there own boating lake with an island in the middle where you can sunbathe in peace, it also has a bar on the island, this is across the road from the Hotel. There is a bridge across the lake to it. They have an outside bar and where you can get food aswell as a stage where entertainment goes on, and nearby is the outside swimming pool. There is plenty of dry and wet entertainment through the day and night. There is a very good childrens club that interacts with the self catering complex down the road The Bellvue apartments. They go out on trips with their reps to a local childrens bar on a sunday, where all the clubs in Alcudia bring the kids for lunch and to play games and watch films. The kids are so...

Review of Lagomonte Hotel, Alcudia, Majorca

Best place in Majorca

Advantages: Great beaches, assortment of restaurants
Disadvantages: None

...I've been going to Alcudia for 5 years now. I always go for 29th june which is the Festival of St. Peter the patron saint of fishermen. This starts with a 3 week build up of events for the locals, mainly for children. It culminates on 29th june with a parade and marching band from Alcudia old town to the small church in Alcudia port area. The whole length of the road from Alcudia old town to the port is covered in what looks like olive leaves behind the parade. Miraculously these leaves are all cleared away by the next morning. At 7-30 pm all the boats in the harbour sail out a small distance to the sea where they are all blessed by a priest and at midnight there is the best pyrotechnics display you will ever see. Then the locals all start to celebrate. Alcudia itself is spread over 3 main areas. The old town, the port area and Belle...

Review of Alcudia, Majorca

Alcudia - ideal for young families

Advantages: Quiet resort, fantastic beaches, lovely old town with market
Disadvantages: High kerbs are difficult for those with pushchairs

...We had an excellent holiday in Alcudia in May this year, with our 2 and 4 year old boys. I can't comment on the resort in mid-Summer, but in May we had a very enjoyable time. Alcudia is a quiet town in comparison to other more developed parts of Majorca and mainland Spain. All the hotels are fairly modern and well maintained. The streets are clean, although steep kerbs make it tough for those with pushchairs. The old town of Alcudia is beautiful and traditional, with lots of nice tapas restaurants. The highlight of the old town is the twice-weekly market, held just outside the ancient walls - only problem was that none of the vendors were willing to haggle, prices seemed to be set in stone. But lots of good quality leather goods and other items. Beaches are large, with powdery sand and plenty of loungers and parasols for a small fee...

Review of Alcudia, Majorca

Hotels from another Planet?

Advantages: Facilities are amazing
Disadvantages: The rooms could do with an upgrade

...The Holiday we went for and how we come across it??? Early June of this year, me and my very close friend Sarah decided we wanted to book a holiday. We wanted to go within the next few days, so last minute deals were not hard to find, especially on the teletext or internet which was our normal method of finding a holiday bargain. Although Teletext seemed to be coming up with the most bargains at this point so we stuck with them. Me and Sarah always liked Majorca, and knew that this was the area we would like to visit again, but maybe this time in a different resort rather than Palma or Magaluf which we had stayed at many times recently. After half a days browsing through the different holidays on Teletext, the resort of Alcudia seemed to be the most viable option for us. We phoned First Choice, which were the company...

Review of Hotels Jupiter and Saturno, Alcudia

Alcudia

Advantages: Weather, beach, entertainment
Disadvantages: over pricing at beach, gets crowded peak season

...Alcudia is a well known holiday destination for the british public, it is situated about 1 hours drive away from the airport on a peninsula to the north of the island of Mallorca. Alcudia itself is split into three parts, The old town where they have a market on a wednesday, the port which is quite pretty with a large number of boutiques, bars and shops, and the sea front which consists of a main street about 5 miles long set back from the sea edged by hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. The beach is huge and pure white sand, its about 6 or 7 miles long with sun beds and shades for hire. The shops and bars nearest the beach are over priced, walk 200yards in land and you will pay a lot less for your product. (A twister lolly 350.00 pesetas on the beach, 145.00 pesetas in land). Entertainment wise there is a lot going on as each...

Review of Alcudia, Majorca

Heaven in Majorca

Advantages: Quiet location, lovely hotel, brilliant food, private beach.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive and could be a bit quiet.

...parents and younger brother were going as well! With the remainder of my student loan already exhausted by a weekend break with my University friends it seemed like the best proposal I was going to get this summer. My parents chose the sunny island of Majorca for our destination and the hotel Riu Palace Bonanza Playa. The island of Majorca is the largest of the three Balearic Islands and is located in the Mediterranean Sea off the south east coast of mainland Spain. The primary language spoken in Majorca is Spanish although many of the inhabitants speak English and German also to accommodate the large tourist influxes from both of these countries. The capital of the island is the cosmopolitan and fairly large city of Palma which also houses the islands airport, flight times are roughly 2-3 hours from the UK. The currency used...

Review of Hotel Riu Palace Bonanza Playa, Palma de Majorca

THE ALCUDIA PIMS HOTEL

Advantages: Nice resort, shame about the accomodation
Disadvantages: The apartments

...A month before I became a travel agent myself and my mother visited another local travel agent (not the one I work for) and we requested an island holiday at a FOUR STAR HOTEL. After a search on the system the young girl came up with an allocated on arrival. At the time we were unaware of the allocated on arrival terms. But were convinced to accept it and emphasized that it would be a 4* property On arrival at palma airport less than a month we were told by the Airtours rep that we were going to the ALCUDIA PIMS. According to the brochure it was full of entertainment and had various bars. But in reality it was different. ***************************************************** APARTMENT Basic furnishings, twin beds, basic bed setee, 2 electric cooking rings, electric kettle, very slow toaster, cheap crockery and cutlery for 4...

Review of Majorca in General

Good value clean hotel

Advantages: Great value, clean, great helpful staff.
Disadvantages: Rear facing rooms are small, food was adequate but not exciting.

...We stayed at the Hotel Mastines Chihuahuas in June 2007. The holiday was booked through Thomas Cook Lakeside as a very good value pricematch from a deal on their website. Initial Impressions If you have airport transfers then you'll have no problems - if you are driving then finding the hotel can be interesting since none of the maps on the net seem to show it's location well. Once you know how it's quite easy though. Initial impression of the hotel was of a typical large concrete towerblock, well situated on the top of a rocky clifftop. On entering the reception you get a feeling of a cool, clean hotel that seems rather dated in style. Rooms Initial room given was really small but help from reception, who were very good throughout the stay, produced a good sea facing (90% of rooms are) room. Room had king bed and usual...
