Mimosa Hotel, Palma de Majorca Nova

Advantages: Quality Budget Accomodation, Air Conditioning, Close to beach
Disadvantages: Basic rooms, food can be the same each night

...I am of the belief that most people who go on holiday to Majorca, are looking for a cheap/budget summer holiday. So the cheaper the accomodation the better, the Don Bigote hotel definately falls into the category. The surprising point is that what you get for your money is worth EVERY euro. The hotel is situated about 100 metres back from one of the main beaches in Palma Nova. It is placed well back from the pubs/clubs so noise levels are not a problem at night-time. The rooms are very basically laid out but all of them have Air conditioning, a godsend in the heat of summer, we booked a twin room, which comes with 2 beds, cupboard, dresser, bathroom with bath with shower over, bidet, toilet & sink. Each room also has its own balcony, if you're lucky you'll get one overlooking the pool, which gives a bit of a nicer view... Read review

Disadvantages: Not many shops

...) at very reasonable prices. There is a good and reliable bus service into Palma and neighbouring resorts and regular boat trips to both Palma and different beaches. The beach itself at Palma Nova is magnificent, spotlessly clean and the sort of sand you see in the holiday ads!

There are plenty of sunbeds and the whole resort is geared to the Brits which makes a change in Majorca. Plenty of excursions are available either from the hotels or the booking agencies along the promenade and are fairly cheap. Another advantage is that most of the hotels are within easy access of the beach and prom and there wasn't too much traffice to contend with... Read review

Advantages: short flight from uk, fabulous island, heaps to do,gorgeous scenery, spotlessly clean
Disadvantages: can't think of any!

...We went to Palma Nova in September/October 2005 for 15 days and had the most fabulous holiday. This was the first time we'd been to Palma Nova so didn't know what to expect but we were more than happy with our choice of resorts. Our trip started at Glasgow Airport and we arrived in Palma 2 hours and 20 minutes later. We arrived at 7-30pm and after the long walk through the airport to collect our luggage, we got a taxi to our accommodation. This took around 40 minutes and cost us 34 euros (we later, on our return taxi to airport realised that we'd been taken the long route as the return journey took around 30 mins and cost us 22 euros!). Our accommodation was rented privately through a friend who owns an appartment so we were able to save on accommodation costs. We used the bus service a lot. Regular buses go all over the island...
