Chris, Paula and kids. Date of travel: Aug 2005
We didn’t stay at the Eden Lago out of choice. We booked our chosen accommodation (Viva Tropic) indirectly through Alpha Rooms who after confirming our booking, cancelled it due to the Viva Tropic being overbooked, despite Alpha Rooms website continuing to show availability for days after. If you intend booking with Alpha Rooms, I strongly recommend that you check the small print first as you’ll find that they can cancel your booking at anytime and as long as they offer you alternative accommodation of the same star rating, they have fulfilled their legal obligation. You have been warned! The Eden Lago is a small to medium size aparthotel offering comfortable 3 star accommodation with entertainment. It pretty much does what it says on the tin. From the outside it looks typical early 80’s build but once inside, you can immediately tell that it has been renovated, especially the reception and indoor bar area which is very nice. The sun terrace around the pool is also very clean albeit a little small for the size of the hotel. In high season you would need to be up early to get a sun bed. The pool is ideal for kids. It is only 1.4 meters at its deepest point with most areas around the sides being 0.2 – 0.4 meters. Our 6 and 3 year olds found it ideal. The pool was no colder that any other pool. The hotel staff checks the water temperature daily and shows the readings in reception. Our 1 bed apartment was an adequate size and was very clean although we had a bit of an ant problem in the bathroom and kitchen area. Cooking facilities were limited to a two-ring hob and there was no grill, oven, toaster or kettle. As with the electric, the air conditioning is operated by slotting the door key-card into a unit on the wall. By the time you feel the effects of the air con, you’re ready and off out again. It didn’t appear to work during the night and we all had a couple of sleepless nights as a result. Be aware also, the cleaners pour raw bleach into the toilet brush holders. We only realised this after finding bleach marks on some of our clothes that had been dropped onto the bathroom floor. Not ideal either when you have small children. When we approached the hotel manager, he said that the use of bleach was normal and any spillage was not their responsibility. They compensated us with a free breakfast!! Self-catering guests can pay-as-you-eat in the restaurant. The restaurant was clean and tidy but I have to say that the food on a whole wasn’t very good. They put burgers and fish fingers on for breakfast one morning…strange but true! The hotel snack bar opens from 12.30 – 3.00 and the food was really good, pity it didn’t open later. As with most of the staff in the hotel, the entertainment team was very friendly and always encouraged people to join in. The mini club was great and kept our two busy with different activities. There was quite a lot of German guests during our stay and they generally grouped together for the daytime activities. Evening entertainment was a little low key compared to bigger hotels. With the pubs and bars only being a 10-minute walk away, most people went out leaving the same group of Germans to the hotel entertainment. The location is good and in a quiet spot at the side of the lake on the edge of Playa de Muro. Come out of the hotel and walk 100 yards up to the main road. If you turn right, you’re 5 minutes walk from the bars and restaurants of Playa de Muro, if you cross the road the beach is right in front of you and if you turn left, you’re a 10-minute bus ride to the Port area. Playa de Muro is not as busy as the central area of Alcudia but still offers a reasonable selections of bars, restaurants and arcades to keep the kids entertained (remember to take plenty of 1 Euro coins if you have kids). If you are a little more reserved, then I recommend the Port area. The Central area of Alcudia is busy and typical of a family orientated resort. The beach at Alcudia is great. We had no problems getting sun beds close to the waters edge. You can walk out quite a way with the sea only up to your knees, really safe for the kids. On a whole, Alcudia is a large and popular resort suited to families with young kids. Alcudia is nothing like Blackpool. Believe me, I live 40 minutes away from Blackpool and that’s 40 minutes too close. Tour Operator: Skydeals
