I have to be honest when me and and my boyfriend booked to stay at the bellevue apartments on the 26th of august 02 (selfcatering), located in pueto de alcudia, it sonded to good to be true. We wanted a place that provided lots of things for children because we were taking my then five year old son and my ten year old niece. Between what the brochures said, the travel agents and friends who had been there,this place sounded amazing.
When we arrived at the bellevue the first thing we noticed was the loverly gardens, our apartment (lida 1) had 3 floors. We requested before we went an apartment on a high floor so we would have a better view, so they put us on the third floor as requested.
The apartment had one bedroom with a double bed, there was a single bed and double sofa bed in the living area A kitchen with a fridge, cooking rings, microwave, kettle and plenty of clean plates, cups, cutlery, ect. There was a full bathroom with a shower which i might add was quite nice. there was also a balcony over looking the shops, bars and resturants across the road and maid sevice every other day. There was also a saftey deposit box and telephone.
On the first day after we unpacked, we went down to the pool which we were a little dissappointed about because it was really small but ideal for kids because it was shallow and had a childrens section. It was also clean with plenty of sunloungers, a snack bar and life guard, we new there were seven other pools available but decided to stick to the one by our apartment block.
The complex it self is massive, there were a lot of people staying there but because its so big you dont notice, the facilitys were great too. There was 17 builings, 8 pools with snack bars, plenty of sunloungers but get there early, a large 24hr reception with air con, cafes, bars, resturants ( the food was quite nice but not great and at resonable prices) parking, shops, a great childrens play ground, childrens entertainment, outdoor tennis, horse riding suitable for kids and teenagers, bicycle rental, games room, luggage room, a small kids fair ground, and go karts.
The evening entertainment was fabulous, there was large outdoor shows every night, they had a westlife tibute band, kylie and robbie lookalike singers, magicians, the disney show and moulin rough. They always got the crowd involved too espesh the kids they just loved it and it kept them entertained for hours each night. After the shows finished around eleven o clock, there was plenty of other things to do, horses riding, the kids playground , a small fairground and go karts, things usually went very quiet after the shows finished so we wouldnt stay out much longer after that.
The bellevue was right in the heart of things too, it was only a 5 minute walk to the shops, bars, resurants and cafes in the town and 900m away from the beach, there was a lovery boat service that run every ten miutes to the beach which only cost 3 euros return trip, it took you across a georgous lake which took no more than ten minutes, the boat service was also only a two minute walk across the road from out apartments too.
I have to say me and my family really injoyed our stay at the bellevue apartments, it had every thing you needed right there on the site, kids of all ages will love it and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. I would not recommend this place to single couples as every thing is centered around kids. Also people that enjoy quiet nights, beware this place is not suitable, as the complex comes alive at night and goes on till fairly late. Our apartment over looked lots of bars which meant it was pretty loud at night but we didnt go for peace and quiet any way but this would not suit early birds.
My only complaints about the bellevue was that there was no air con in our room which meant we had to rent fans from reception which i might add due to high demand are hard to get hold of, it took us four days to get one. The lake could be a little smelly at times too but it did not affect our holiday in any way, o and beware of the sprinklers in the gardens late at night around twelve to half past, we got soaked one night, haha, it was quite funny though. The bellevue could be pretty quiet during the day, with not a lot for the kids to do, so inless your looking to relax during the day, you do have to venture out. Every thing comes alive at around six o clock, so even though theres not much during the day it more than makes up for it at night. We had what we paid for with this holiday. I would definatly go back there again.
