Don't believe everything you read!!!! - Helen Livingston. Date of travel: May 2008
Just returned from an excellent week in Hotel Alcudia. After reading all the negative comments was dreading the holiday and am pleased to report that we found nothing wrong with the place. All staff were friendly and helpful. Food was plentiful and varied. Remember this hotel is catering for various nationalities. If you are looking for British food go to Blackpool! Hotel was spotlessly clean. Towels changed daily. Another bit of advice...to lighten your luggage don't take beach towels. Beach towels can be hired at the hotel for €10 per towel, can be changed everyday and a full refund is given at the end of the holiday. Enough for that last drink at the airport! Day and evening entertainment is there for anyone who wants to join in. Bar prices are no more expensive than bar prices outside. So all in all an excellent holiday and I would certainly return to this hotel. The hotel's location is excellent - 200 yards to the beach, shops and taxi rank and just a little further for bus stops.

We have just returned from a week at the Hotel Alcudia. After reading reviews before I went was a little worrid about what to expect. We arrived on the Sunday evening - typical Spanish hotel, was given a room in the dreaded basement, if your room no is 1 to 8 refuse it. We complained straight away but there wasn't another room available untill the Tuesday, we then got a first floor room on the road side, rooms basic but reasonably clean. No keetles so take your own if you want to make a cuppa in your room The maid offered to come in every day if wanted, no problems with clean towels, repaced on days when she did come in on other days just ask. Take note people with limited mobilty: the restaurant is down 2 flights of staires no lifts to resturant. The meals were buffet, two sittings 6.30pm & 8.00pm, no choice as to which sitting, food basic, bland but plentyful. Big choice at both breakfast & dinner. There was entertainment every night but never bothered; if your on the 2nd sitting there was no space left anyway by time you add eaten. The pool area was small, this was the main complaint by everyone. Even last week you had to fight to get a bed. The beach is a better bet, lovely shallow calm bay with no big waves if you have little ones. It seemed fairly quiet around the resort, could have been time of year (Oct) not much for teenagers to do unless you went into Alcudia itself which is a 20 min walk along a well light flat promenade. A taxi is 4/5 euros. Alcudia old town is a 15/20 min walk - well worth a look at if you want a quiet wander, but dont go on Sunday or Tuesday (market days). All in all for the price we paid not bad for a quick cheap week away although if I had paid the full tour company's price wouldnt have been as impressed. Go to Alcudia Hotel with a open mind and form your own opinion. Oh! the Alcudia Hotel is in an execellent location for the beach, which is 2/3 min away, 5 at most if you only have little legs!!!

Good location, bad service - Graham. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Arrived at the Hotel Alcudia, my room was on the basement, the room was damp with a horrible smell, took 2 days to get other room, which was slightly better, the bathroom was not very clean, mold arround the tiles, toilet not cleaned properly,the meal time was also a problem they have 2 sittings one at 6.30 or 8pm, you have no say in what time you prefer and i was given the 8pm sitting which didnt suit me as i had kids that were starving buy this time, asked if i could go to the earlier sitting and explained why and they said i would have to go onto a list and wait until a space came available,which i did and 4 days into my 7 days holiday i was changed on to the earlier sitting, the food was okay nothing to great, the entertainment was very good apart from 1 night, alcudia itself dosent have much to offer all the shops sell the same as the next, the location of the Alcudia Hotel was fine pretty central, apart from these issues i did enjoy my holidays as i met alot of nice people at the Alcudia hotel and had many laughs, oh and take plenty of mosquito repelent as this was a big problem never experience the bites as bad as i did there and so did many other people, take plug ins for the room also spray/cream for the body.

Returned from the Hotel Alcudia but would not return. Read the reviews prior to departure and was worried. The rooms are basic. Small and not kept clean. Our room was not swept or the toilets, sink or bath cleaned at all in two weeks!! The beds were sort of tidied up. Linen only changed twice in 2 weeks! Towels are changed but only if you leave them on the floor. The view is either overlooking the pool (noisy) or the road (very noisy)!! The food is good but get to breakfast early or the tables are gone!! The kids liked the choice and the evening entertainment is also good. The swimming pool is a joke, too small and cold. The sea is warmer!! Staff are friendly drinks are cheap in the hotel. PS. If it's not noisy outside, the air conditioning will keep you awake - it's noisy!!

Alcudia was very good. The sun was always shining and the hotel was very nice. The food was amazing it filled my stomach. I loved the entertainment every night and the room was always clean. I am going again this year in about 5 weeks and I can't wait, it will be awesome!!

reasonable hotel - wendy kershaw. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Just got back from Alcudia. I love the place been there 3 times, I wouldnt go back to the Alcudia Hotel though, the room was pokey, no kettle (should have brought my own) the bathroom was a bit grubby but got clean towels every day, beds where made everyday, but how I wish they had left a brush and pan so we could have swept up. The cleaner never once touched the floors. We had a hard time getting served at the bar the staff didnt understand English very well and where realy slow, the pool too small for size of hotel. Oh and the air conditioning in our room well thats another story! Breakfast was horrible but dinner was pretty good lots of choice, the entertainment was horrendous, they had a parrot show on one night some poor kids had to miss it because that was the time when they had to go for there tea. Alcudia itself is a family friendly island, lovely beaches plenty of shops bars etc, Dreamers Bar great one of a few bars that dont shut at 12 oclock, if you want a holiday that keeps you out all night this is not the place to go, but for families brilliant.

Served a purpose, what do you want from a hotel room? It's somewhere to satisfy the wife and doss down, you need to get your towels down pronto because the pool area is a little 'cramped' (had to throw some Jerry towels in the pool, they don't like it up em!) Food was good, kids liked the choice and the fact they could try everything.

We booked the Hotel Alcudia at the last minute - 2 days before leaving. The package only cost £1200 for 2 adults and 1 child half board for 2 weeks in August. If I had paid full price I would have been very disappointed, but considering what we paid it was bearable. The hotel rooms were cleaned daily but only not that well. The room was very small, 2 adults and 1 child in one room with no room to swing a cat. The bathroom old and shabby, and dirty. We were told there would be a view from the room ... but we were just overlooked another apartment block and a busy road and could hear the dustmen at 1am each morning. There was a small balcony but there was only room for two on it. The hotel pool was tiny and sunbeds were a hot commodity and crammed up against each other. The staff were helpful and cheerful and the breakfast was good with a choice of cooked for fruit and cereal. The evening meals were not so nice: a mishmash of dishes which are often heated up from the night before. The salad bar however is very good. We paid to eat out a few times and this the Alcudia hotel has put me off half-board forever. The beach was nearby and was very pretty and the sea was clear, but did sometimes smell of sewerage. Overall, Alcudia was a good resort with lots of bars and shops. We recommend the Comics Bar and the Banana Shopping Centre. Tour Operator: Direct Holidays

Clean but pool area lets the Hotel down badly - it is not large enough for the number of rooms available. Tour Operator: Travel City Direct

The port of Alcudia was quiet a pleasant place for a family break. However hotel Alcudia was not so pleasant, the rooms were very small and cramped and the bunk beds that had been squeezed into ours for our two children prevented us from opening the balcony door. The pool was also very cramped with stacked sunbeds, not very child friendly. If you like good food and entertainment I would jump in a taxi and find some elsewhere. If there is a positive to come from the holiday, it was that the staff were very friendly and the hotel was well located to the port.
