Advantages: Quite alot to do.
Disadvantages: If you stay in Pollenca there is nothing to do.

...I got back from Mallorca about two weeks ago, and its in my opinion not bad. I stayed in a villa with my family in Pollenca. Pollenca is not a very good place a tall and if your looking for some entertainment at night i would choose Pollenca. The place to go is either Porte de Alcudia, Alcudia or porte de Pollenca. This is if you stay around the Pollenca part of the island and not the other side where places of entertainment are in Magaloffe. But with there being Go-karting and water parks it isnt that bad. In my opinon staying in a hotel would be more exciteing. 4/5.... Read review

Advantages: Quiet resort, fantastic beaches, lovely old town with market
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 - only problem was that none of the vendors were willing to haggle, prices seemed to be set in stone. But lots of good quality leather goods and other items. Beaches are large, with powdery sand and plenty of loungers and parasols for a small fee... Read review

Advantages: Weather, beach, entertainment
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 shops and bars nearest the beach are over priced, walk 200yards in land and you will pay a lot less for your product. (A twister lolly 350.00 pesetas on the beach, 145.00 pesetas in land). Entertainment wise there is a lot going on as each... Read review

Advantages: Hot, Plenty to do and busy.
Disadvantages: If you just want a quiet holiday this wouldn't be right for you.

...I have just got back from my Holiday, on the Balearic Island of Majorca. I couldn't have asked for more. I could hardly fault the place at all! I am 16 years old and have just finished my G.C.S.E's and went on what was probably my last family holiday with my parents and younger Brother. We stayed in a place called Alcudia. Which has a beautiful bay that stretches about 2KM's. The Hotel/apartments in which we stayed were called Alcudia Park. The room was comfortable with a view of the pool. The pool was very large and was kept clean. The Hotel led out straight onto the long sandy Beach. The Beach was great as there was plenty to do from sunbathing and taking occasional dips in the sea to Paragliding or speeding out to sea on a Banana Boat. On a night you could just stroll out of the Hotel and into the busy town, were... Read review

Advantages: A brill place for kids and familys.............
Disadvantages: none......

...This hotel is very nice, set at the back of Alcudia away from the hustle bustle of the pubs in the centre. They have there own boating lake with an island in the middle where you can sunbathe in peace, it also has a bar on the island, this is across the road from the Hotel. There is a bridge across the lake to it. They have an outside bar and where you can get food aswell as a stage where entertainment goes on, and nearby is the outside swimming pool. There is plenty of dry and wet entertainment through the day and night. There is a very good childrens club that interacts with the self catering complex down the road The Bellvue apartments. They go out on trips with their reps to a local childrens bar on a sunday, where all the clubs in Alcudia bring the kids for lunch and to play games and watch films. The kids are so impressed...

Advantages: Short flight, English widely spoken, beautiful beaches, great nightlife, I could go on forever
Disadvantages: You have to come home

...I have been to Majorca twice in the last three years. On the first occasion, I went with my husband and our two children who were 4 and 2 at the time. We chose Majorca because of the relatively short flight time of two hours. We stayed in Alcudia at the Marte Hotel which is in an all inclusive complex which also includes the hotels Jupiter and Saturno. We went in the second and third weeks of May. The first week was very unsettled, rainy and windy, but the second week was beautiful and the temperature got warmer by the day. The resort of Alcudia is very busy but geared more for families rather than singles. The beach is sandy and very clean. We hired a car locally for a week and I think this was probably one of the best decisions we made. Car hire is very cheap. We paid about the same amount for a whole week's car hire as we...

Advantages: Good weather, nice beach
Disadvantages: smells bad at night, quite crowded

...from peddle boats (with slides on the back) to banana boating. They had other boat trips too. The beach is full of sunbeds with straw parasols over them. If you take one men come round trying to sell coconuts. On another day we were told there was a market in the town which was a 45 minute walk from our hotel (lagamonte), or a 10 minute bus journey. The bus however is always packed on market days, so we decided to walk. The town has a little more majorca culture than Alcudia resort. A wall goes around it, which we walked along. Inside the town the market was huge, it mainly sells leather goods, like handbags and belts. We also found the local supermarket here and the prices were a lot cheaper than on the resort. To one side of the town we found the local bull ring, which is free to enter when there are no events. Events mainly... Read review

Advantages: Really family friendly.
Disadvantages: None!

...I have been to this hotel twice now and I can't wait to go again. Mainly so that my five year old daughter will stop asking me when we are going back! If you have children of any age, they will love this hotel, and you will just as much. The Condesa de la Bahia in the Majorcan resort of Alcudia and is situated right on the beach. It is situated down a quiet street that runs adjacent to the main road that would take you to the Port of Alcudia. It has around three hundred rooms that are decorated to a standard you would expect to find in a 3* hotel and they are kept spotless. It has a large pool area that is split into three different sections, a children's pool, a long horse shoe shaped area and a pool that gently slopes just like a beach. The snack bar adjacent serves food, drink and delicious ice-cream. The food is served buffet... Read review

Advantages: gr8 weather
Disadvantages: too much hassle from the PRs

...Been to majora about 7 times now, each time satyin in a different hotel and several resorts. Santa Ponsa- ideal for couples and families, lovely white sandy beach, many restaurants and bars and evening entertainment in the local square. Alcudia- I've been to Alcudia 3 times. The beach is beautiful but, no matter how far out to sea you go the sea doesn't seem to get any deeper! PLenty of things to do in Alcudia. we went pony trekking along the beach and had a BBQ supper, I would recommend this trip. There are plenty of Bars, restaurants and discos. I particularly spent most of my time in Bells or Menta which had wet t shirt compettions and foam parties!! If you are on a budget I recommend the Bellevue Holiday Village. Its cheap basic accomodation but caters for many, ideally for families. Palma Nova/ Magaluff- Situated next to each... Read review

Advantages: Nice resort, shame about the accomodation
Disadvantages: The apartments

...A month before I became a travel agent myself and my mother visited another local travel agent (not the one I work for) and we requested an island holiday at a FOUR STAR HOTEL. After a search on the system the young girl came up with an allocated on arrival. At the time we were unaware of the allocated on arrival terms. But were convinced to accept it and emphasized that it would be a 4* property On arrival at palma airport less than a month we were told by the Airtours rep that we were going to the ALCUDIA PIMS. According to the brochure it was full of entertainment and had various bars. But in reality it was different. ***************************************************** APARTMENT Basic furnishings, twin beds, basic bed setee, 2 electric cooking rings, electric kettle, very slow toaster, cheap crockery and cutlery for 4, table...
