Whats your favourite resort in Majorca?

oooh Ive just noticed your posts on here, Majorca is my favourite destination!

Have been to Alcudia 5 times, Cala Dor twice, Palma Nova once, Peurto Pollensa once, Can Pastilla once!

My favourite was Can Pastilla, as I think I only heard one other British person there, it was really like being in a foreign country, unlike Palma Nova, where I didnt hear a Spanish voice!

Looooove Alcudia too though!

Hi guest and Tango,
Cala Bona was pretty good.It's a nice walk down the promenade to Cala Millor and on to Sa Coma.Not too far to the Caves Of Drach in Porto Cristo.We stayed in the Sur Hotel opposite the Levante.It was cheap and cheerful and the staff in the bar were great.Tony,Hector and Rual were really friendly.Tony was the daytime barman and played guitar in a duo who played at the Sur on Sunday nights.Very good too.
We would definitely go back there.

Palma Nova can be lively and its easy to get into Magaluf.I like the beachs
At Palma Nova and Magaluf.Short trip to Palma and other attractions and short transfers.
Magaluf can be a bit mad.Went in Goodfellows(HT) bar a couple of times but he wasn't there

Hope you all have a good holiday wherever you go

Hi Fenderman

I went into Goodfellows too, and left a note for Adam as he wasnt there..............he put a post on the Majorca forum of HT!!!

Thanks for that info, Ive never tried that particular area, although weve driven through it on the way to the Caves and to the aquarium in Porto Cristo, it was very good!!! We stopped off for lunch in Sa Coma

But I could be tempted to try it next year

Hi guest,

Cala Bona has a really nice little harbour with some good restaurants.
The walk to Cala Millor along the prom we did twice a day because we had friends who were staying at the Atalaya apartments in Cala Millor.
There's a lot of bars on the way so it took a long time to get there

The beach at Cala Bona Is small.Its a much better beach at Cala Millor.
There's Plenty of entertainment around and loads of shops in CM.
Its a 25minute stroll between the two resorts.
Only downside was avoiding the kamikaze bikers on the four seater cycles

It is good that the three resorts are close together.At least you're not stuck in one place all the time and it gives you plenty of options.We will go back again when she's saved up

Its Magaluff / Palmanova for me. AS they are linked you must have a 3 to 4 mile stretch of fun. The centre of Magaluff may best be avoided high season unless you are Young and wild. I,m just 46 and wild

Moreen have a look at the above site. There are some reviews of the apartments you are thinking about. They seem very good.

Never been to Alcudia but we are going to Lagotel in Playa De Muro in July. I think it is a bit out of the hive of Alcudia but I know there is a regular bus service into the town and port area for about 1euro each way.

Hope this helps I know I am starting to get really excited.

I have been to a few places in Majorca and my favourite is definitely Cala D'Or - lovely beaches, love the town square where all the nightlife is, beautiful marina.

been to Palma nova/magaluf last year with my teenagers to keep them happy - all i can say is..................OMG

we had a right laugh but..................blackpool in the sun it is, if your idea of a good holiday is Elvis impersonators, menus with pictures and all day Full English with Heinz beans then youre laughing

I met Adam at Goodfellows - didnt even give us a free drink!!

Also been to Alcudia years ago - not my thing either

but when we travelled around a bit i could see there were some lovely places there. Palma was fab.

Sa Coma is my favorite but after visiting the 4 times I won't be going back for a while. A small compact resort, not the best restuarants, no disco or night clubs, but 2 british bars that spoil the place. Cala Millor 1000 meters in one direction and s'ilott 800 meters in the other direction. A wonderful sandy beach and gently shelving sea.

My least favorite is magaluf and palma nova, I went to magaluf in 1987 and loved the place, it had many shops and restuarants run by majorca people then but now they have all been forced out and the place has grown into a resort that has no charm or character.

I didn't like alcudia, but liked can pastilla as well as peurto pollensa, cala millor has grown too big now. Now porto cristo where the caves of drach are really doesn't have anything there but the caves. The beach area isn't all that nice either.

Only been to Cala D'or...hotel was a dump but the resort was nice enough. (Prefer my resorts quieter and without too much British influence). Used to go to Es Trenc for a bit of beaching. Found Majorca a beautiful island, strangely quieter and old fashioned in the bits we visited then Menorca which is the only other Balaeric usland we have visited.

We have visited Majorca about a dozen times and always hire a car and cover most of the island during our stays. The first couple of years we did Magaluf but now prefer the Alcudia region . A trip to Sa Colabra is a must but not for the faint hearted , nice hairpin bends

Been to C'an Picafort (19yr ago), Alcudia for the day, Sa Coma, Palma Nova and Magaluf. I like Palma Nova because it's a short bus ride from airport. Going back in May

Only been to Cala d'or which was nice but the hotel was lousy...although on half board we eat out all the time (inc. breakfasts) as the food was so bad. At least it meant we got a hire car and got to see a lot of the island which is beautiful away from the tourist areas.

We went to Palma Nova last month & loved it.

Fenderman · Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 8:35 am Post subject:

Hi Geddy,
Went to Palma Nova/Torrenova in August.We stayed at the Tobago which was fine.We were a bit too close to Magaluf though.Had some great meals in Some great restaurants.Other things went wrong,see holiday from hell thread in general chat.
We will probably go back to Majorca next summer.Thinking of trying Cala Bona.We've been there once and really enjoyed it.Also thinking of trying Tenerife.

Acorncup · Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 10:02 am Post subject:

We generally go to Puerto Pollensa or Alcudia...but have been thinking about Cala Bona for next year.

What did you like about it, Fenderman?

Hi Acorn,
Cala Bona is really nice resort,not too lively.There some lovely restaurants
Around the harbour and on the sea front.They were all very reasonably priced.
I believe that they have pedestrianised the road from the harbour to the promenade.The road ran between the Levante and the Levante Park hotels which are thomson gold hotels.
It's a good leisurely walk down the promenade along the sea front.there is plenty of bars and shops to look in.It takes about 25 minutes to walk into Cala Millor.
There is absolutely loads of shops and restaurants in Cala Millor and you can play dodge the German

If you carry on walking for another ten minutes or so,you come into Sa Coma.
Transfer is about an hour on a package or 45 minutes by taxi.
we both loved Cala Bona and we are going back next summer,all being well.
Regards Fenderman

Thanks fenderman

Where do you stay?
We've been going to Thomson Gold for a few years as our son was working for them....but I'm not sure if we would, if we weren't visiting his hotel (if you see what I mean....). He always said the Levante was good.
