Advantages: lots going on , good food and good clean pools . Oh and we won 350 euros on the bingo!

Disadvantages: bad smells from lake and average entertainment.

Having read the reviews we were a bit sceptical before our holiday which we booked with XL.com (who we will use again), the first thing people need to remember that it is a family resort which holds 3000+ peolple (majority kids) so expect hundreds of kids screaming and shouting and not peace and quiet. We have 2 boys aged 5 and 9 and they loved it ! The rooms are basic but very clean and air conditioned which worked fine for us (we stayed in hotel Marte) but generally you go on holiday not to spend it sat in your room like some people seem to do who moan on here. The pools are excellent and very clean but you have to be up early (8am at latest) in July/august to get a lounger as it gets very busy. The food was excellent and offered a wide choice though i cant look at another burger again because they are available all day and there is someone always nearby munching one. The staff were very friendly and eager to help and worked tirelessly entertaining the kids. If i was going to complain about something it would be the entertainment on the circus stage was a bit naff apart from the "lord of the dance" tribute act who were superb, the majority of the main acts was the Mac staff dressed up in costumes miming to a bad sound system, but heh ho. Also the "natural" lake which is used for pedalos and next to the burger bar eminated some awful smells which made the stomach turn. The kids loved the bike hire and trampolines which are 5 euros a go each and the play area was also good. we went from July 24th to 31st which is obviously peak season but the last couple of days was manic as hundreds more people arrived so a few queues formed at the bars but they didnt last long. The highlight of the holiday without doubt was the trip to see the "Pirates adventure" in Magaluff which having seen it 2 years ago is even better now its a must see and fantastic night out for the family. The fabulous Alcudia beach is only a 10 minute walk (15 with kids) away even though there is a courtesy bus laid on we preferred the pleasant walk. All in all it was a good holiday and we are considering a return next year.

Summary: In summary a good holiday which was value for money for 4 of us, we will return to Club Mac
