Family Holiday to Alcudia Majorca

Rosemary Chawke 30 August 2008
On the 30th Aug 2008 my husband, little daughter and I travel spent a 1week family holiday on the lovely island of Majorca. I stayed at the Lagotel Hotel and Apartments. I stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was very spacious and cleaned on a daily basis. The food at the hotel was very good. It was a buffet service with a great choice everyday. I would highly recommend doing Half Board.

The complex was excellent for families. Great on site kids club and creche for toddlers. Lovely playground and great evening entertainment. The apartments were a 15minute stroll to the beach in Playa de Murro. The beach was beautiful and was as good as any of the Caribbean beaches with lovely white sand and crystal blue water. There was a good choice of water sports and great for walking as it went on for miles.

Playa de Murro itself has a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants but a little further a field is the resort of Alcudia which has a wider selection of bars, restaurants, nite clubs and shops. I would definitely recommend Playa de Murro for both a family and a couples holiday. Also a very good choice or a short break in the sun.

Palma city is only a stone throw away and we decided to visit here for the day. This cosmopolitan city, and capital of the island, stretches around a lovely bay. It has a busy, promenade and everything one would expect of a fine old city - museums, art galleries, designer boutiques, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants.

The harbour and old town’s narrow streets are home to stunning architecture. Palma is a great place in which to spend a day or to take a short break.

Majorca was a perfect destination for a great family holiday.
