...lady helped us book the Mariner Club which is in Alcudia, Mallorca through Thompsons. So, early evening on 11th May we flew with no problems from a scorching hot Cardiff airport and found ourselves two short hours later in rainsoaked Mallorca. After waiting around for over an hour for our bags and then for a further hour and a half while they finally sorted out who was supposed to be on which coach, we sped through the torrents for an hour and finally ...

...across the road to the beach, and the road along the front of the hotel has lots of shops (clothes, souvenirs, booze, fags etc) and the road behind mainly bars and BCM the major nightclub where Radio 1 were doing there live weekend while we were there. It is a 5 minute walk to the strip where all the really lively bars and clubs are. We arrived at about 11.30am in the morning and had a short queue at reception to be served by the miserable receptionist, ... Read review
