Whats your favourite resort in Majorca?

Hi Acorn,
We went to Cala Bona in 2003 and stayed at the Hotel Sur,which was cheap and cheerful.No aircon except in the restaurant.Food was ok but mostly we ate out.We usually go half board because its cheaper for couples,no supplements.This year we went DIY and booked the hotel through Alpha rooms.It gives you a lot more choice.The year we went to Cala Bona was the hottest for a 100 years and we had two fans running continuously for two weeks.The Levante and Levante park are very close,just down the street.They are really nice hotels.Also the Cala Bona Hotel looks good with most rooms overlooking the harbour.The Bonaire also gets good reviews.There is a lot of hotel reviews in HT including one on the Sur from me.
The more I talk about it,the more appealing it seems

.
Once I recover from the op and sort out the taxman,I'll be looking to book it unless they bankrupt me

regards Keith(Fenderman)

Thanks fenderman

I will look out those reviews.

There's something about having a holiday booked to look forward to isn't there?

You'll definitely deserve one after your convalescence

We love Marjoca, have been to Magaluff six times and no its not full of noisy brits if you go in May like we do, also stopped in Palma Nova and in Portals Nous. I think Alucudia is more for families, Keith and I tend to go on our own as a couple and love the night life.

we went to Magaluff in April and it was completely full of noisy brits!!!!

I thought the east coast had some very pretty bays

Alcudia was still a bit too full on for me im afraid - it all depends how you like your holidays

Well this holiday is for the kids, they come first.
So I will be happy with sun, sea and a decent pool

I am not into the full on Brit Chav Crowd at all.

I like decent food, can't fill my kids up on Burgers, saying that my four year old don't eat them, but son is Burger boy if I let him

I would like

1) somewhere near the beach.
2) not far from shops etc....
3) pool/water park
4) Kids activities etc...
5) decent S/C apartments

My family liked Santa Ponsa the best in Majorca. Beautiful beach, loads of bars and the square is excellent for families. Entertainment at the square every night. The Pirate Show in Magaluf is great and only about 10 minutes in a taxi from Santa Ponsa.

Magaluf is ok depending on the time of year you go. Been to Magaluf in October which was pretty quiet but had rubbish weather.

Alcudia as a resort just wasn't for me but the holiday wasn't too bad as we had a really good AI hotel. IWe though it was a lot more expensive than the resorts at the south of the island.

My first holiday abroad was at Santa Ponsa in 1974 it was fab!!!

Why didn't you like Alcudia Liz? I have never been, but i know how fussy my hubby is, so I want to take the family to a decent place.

My son went to the Pirate show, and he loved it.

We thought Alcudia was a nice place but there were millions of flies everywhere. That might just have been at the area we stayed as we were at a lake. We didn't think there was as much entertainment as other resorts we had been to. Our hotel was the Lagomonte which was a great hotel.
