    2 Stars Alcudia the holiday resort! 25/04/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good weather, nice beach

    Disadvantages Disadvantages smells bad at night, quite crowded

    I went to Alcudia for my honeymoon, which I wouldn't really recommend. We found there was a limited amount to do for couples, unless you like staying on a beach or shopping for your entire holiday. The jouney from the airport to Alcudia usually takes 1/2 hour, but due to extensive road works our journey took an hour. I was quite disappointed with the scenery, it was very bland, yellow grass, a couple of trees, roadworks and the odd derilict house. The driver wasn't too careful with his driving either. Once there we did find people very friendly and enjoyed the pubs. We were told by an english ... more

    4 Stars Sangria For All! Review with images 17/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great location, lots to do, food is amazing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some rainy days though that was just luc of the draw

    INTRO 'Ola. So me and herself-who-shall-be-obeyed took it upon ourselves to holiday out to the Spanish island of Majorca. Alcudia to be precise. Being as it was our first holiday together we figured one week in a fairly neutral, yet nice and sunny, location would suit us down to the ground. So with our luggage packed, our passports and boarding tickets safely within easy reach and me breaking out into cold sweats in preparation for the two hour flight, we were on our way. LOCATION We landed in Majorca's one and only airport in Palma. Lovely place from what I gathered in the late night ... more

    5 Stars Best place in Majorca 17/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great beaches, assortment of restaurants

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Weather, beach, entertainment

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    4 Stars Alcudia - ideal for young families 19/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quiet resort, fantastic beaches, lovely old town with market

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    5 Stars Hotel Marte Alcudia 24/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great hotel complex lots to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages street sellers

    We all had a fantastic holiday at the Marte. I had read some of the reports before we went, and i thought it was gonna be butlins from hell!!! But when we arrived I had to disagree. The food was excellent, there was so much variety, yes there was pork on the menu everyday but so was chicken, beef and all types of fish. Also salads, pasta, bread, vegetables, potatoes, pizzas and a good selection of kids favorites and also so much more. The service was excellent in the restaurants as the tables were cleared away straight away and there was plenty of clean tables available to be seated at. The ... more

    4 Stars Alcudia in Mallorca - something for everyone 22/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very family orientated, but theres plenty clubs and pubs if you like the nightlife!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none that i can think of theres something for everyone

    I've been to Alcudia about 5 times now, so its obvious I like the place! There's 3 areas of it which all run into each other and doesnt take long to get from one place to another. Playa de Muro, filled with hotels, pubs, restaurants etc. Alcudia itself, which again has things to do during the day, plenty shops and the Port of Alcudia which is lovely as its the oldest, more traditional part of the town. Alcudia is lovely, with plenty for kids and adults to do. There's the hydropark tehre, an outdoor water park with lots of slids. There's also plenty cafes, bars and resturants and some clubs as ... more

    Advantages Advantages nice weather, nice beach, plenty to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none that i can think of

    I visted majorca in 2005 in it was most definately one of the best family holidays that I have ever had. First off i stayed in Hotel de Alcudia as an all inclusive restaurant. This hotel was very nice and very clean. It was very tall, with a bit of a dodgy lift, but on the bright side I got plenty of exercise on the stairs and there was a superb view over the beach. The meals in the restaurant were all buffet and there was always a great selection of food with plenty to appeal to the kids such as fish fingers and chips. They even supplied for meals a day with a supper at night supplying snack ... more
