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 ... ...spotlessly clean.
We loved Palma Nova with its beautiful bay and long promenade. There is an abundance of restaurants and pubs so there is something to suit all tastes and budgets. You can go out on the glass-bottomed boat, one drink and snacks provided on all trips from memory. You can choose from a short trip lasting around 2 hours or an all-day one which takes you into a couple of different ports before returning. Prices start at around 13 euros. ...

Advantages: Nice beaches good and quiet for young and old, couples and familys. Disadvantages: Pricey from july to start of december can be alittle too quiet for young couples.
I went to Palma in august this year on my honeymoon. It was great i really enjoyed the holiday. It was my first time abroard and also my first flight. The flight was quite short so for all of those who are not keen on flying, this is a good choice. The flight took two hours when we arrived at palma airport(the airport is huge) you got outside and at two in the morning the heat was still there. We got a taxi transfer from the airport to our hotel ... ...morning, and given the fact Palma Nova is approxamatly 40 minutes from the airport this was the easiest way. our flight was through thomson but shop about to get the best deal. our transfer was connected with the hotel which was through Med Hotels.
We arrived at the hotel which was the Residential Vora Nova it was bright modern and on first impressions very nice. we took our cases to our room our room had a nice balcony overlooking a lovely, large ...

Advantages: A lovely and very relaxing small city.Beautiful and fantastic beaches. Disadvantages: Not all shops quite open yet. A bit dissappointed with a road work contraction.can be really noisy and disturbing.
Well, just returned from Palma Nova, Mallorca yesterday, on Feb 19...been there for a week. Really had a great and fantastic time. Booked a package from Thomas Cook. Valued for money with all inclusive (flight+self-catering apartment) only £360 for three person was excellent.
Myself and two mates stayed at the Aquasol. Very clean and basic, with a lovely powerful shower. maids came often with new sheets, toilet roll etc. The only complaint was the ... ...You can go to the Palma Nova beach or Magalluf beach. very clean. Good 5 to 10 minute walk into Magaluf. Full credit to Andy and Yvonne the entertainer. Those two really were really funny. Played bingo everynight and won one time only. That thing was so addicted.hahah.
At this moment Palma Nova not as busy as summer time. At times can be totally dead. Only half of the shops,restaurants and hotels were open and some of the them were under refurbished. ...

Advantages: Lovely beach and prom and ideal for children Disadvantages: Not many shops
...week in the resort of Palma Nova on the south of the island.
Palma Nova has recently had a fantastic new promenade built, it's really attractive and in local stone. They have been careful to keep the existing palm trees in place and there are plenty of cafes and seats along the way. It runs from one end of Palma Nova to the beginning of Magaluf right along the bay. The resort is a good place for anyone elderly or if you have young children as it's ... ...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! The sea is constantly cleaned as well, by a guy in a pedalo with a strainer on the front which picks up any debris. The beach is cleaned every night and I didn't see any dirt on it at any time.
There are plenty of sunbeds ...

I've been to palma nova several times and i love it.
If you looking for a nice quiet holiday this is the place, theres things to do though as well, plenty of shops, and nice bars, usually with some sort of music every night, if you want abit of nightlife, maguluf is just down the road if you want some clubbing? personally i didn't like maguluf because the people who work at the bars are stood outside mithering you to come in.
There is one trip ... ...place, the first was a market, which was quite good if you like getting a bargain etc, then the was a ceramics shop, and then a town before the caves of darch, which is nice, you walk down lots of stairs, then you sit in a room, where there is a romantic show on water, and los of lights going off. ...

Advantages: Clean beach, plenty of bars. Disadvantages: Lack of local food.
We have just returned from Palma Nova and had a good time. The resort has a wealth of bars and restaurants so there's plenty of choice. There was a mix of ages although the top end, towards Magaluf seemed to cater mainly for the younger 18-30 groups, with bars that stayed open until 6am. As a pair of 40 something lightweights, however, we were happy to stay at the quieter end!!!!! The prices are reasonable and most bars seemed to have a happy hour ... ...is close enough to get to.
The beach at Palma Nova is spotless and there are lifeguards. There are a range of activities including pedaloes, banana boats, jet skis and parascending. Overall we enjoyed staying at Palma Nova but would probably go further north next time. ...

Advantages: Plenty to do, choice of nightlife, greast beaches Disadvantages: Not as big as some mainland resorts
...young and carefree holiday? Palma Nova and the nearby resort of magaluf offer all these and more.
Just a short drive from the airport at Palma, the resort of Palma Nova lies in a beautiful bay with scenic views all around. The beach is of soft, golden sand ideal for families. The main promenade area has benefitted from a recent facelift and affords a safe and leisurely stroll along the full length of the resort seafront.
The sea is shallow for ... ...music, clubbing and booze. Palma Nova has its own share of nightspots but is more relaxed. The resorts are just yards apart and almost merge together in places so any type of nightlife is never far away.
Car hire is relatively cheap and reasonably plentiful provided you book a few days in advance in high season. The island of Majorca is well worth a tour with a range of hills down the east coast, and in the north.
Palma Nova can be recommended ...
