Hotel Continental Park, Playa De Muro

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.

.... The only thing to watch out for is the street sellers, they do keep on at you and I would recommend that you politely say no and walk away, they get the message eventually - spend your money elsewhere, such as the local shops, markets etc - at least you will know what you are getting!
