Majorca

Majorca - aka Mallorca. Located in the Mediterranean Sea off south east coast of Spain. It usually takes about 2 to 2.5 hrs flying time from UK airports. Its an ideal getaway for a little sun and loads of fun - no matter what you're after.... whether its a drunken holiday with friends, a romantic getaway with your lover or a fun packed family holiday. Of course, how much you enjoy the entire trip is dependant on which hotel you stay in.... so check out a few of my other reviews for hotels that I worked in whilst out there, to give an unbiased review of the hotels. There is plenty to see and do on the island, from pub crawls, boat trips, ...  Read the complete review

Palma on the Island of Majorca is a great place for shopping and doing a bit of sight seeing. We were staying in Palma Nova and being past the age when drinking all day in pubs and clubs, then flaking out on the beach seems a good way to spend a holiday, decided to find some 'civilized' life for a change. There are buses from all round the Island into Palma. The City itself is big. Everything is so spread out in the modern part and we found ourselves walking a long way to find major department stores and designer shops on the main road. However, we eventually found a wonderful shopping area in the old Arab Quarter of the City. This area ...  Read the complete review

I've just got back from Majorca for a weeks holiday with four friends. And we loved it. The currency is Euro's so very easy to handle. Language is Spanish so as long as you know Gracias you will be fine! Weather was beatufil (in September). Very hot and sunny. A few days were overcast which made it a bit muggy but was still just lovely. We stayed in the resort of Palma Nova on the south coast, about ten minutes walk away from Magalluf. We stayed in a self-catering hotel / apartments which were a perfect location for what we wanted out of our holiday. It was a family based hotel (as opposed to an 18-30's type thing) so there were a lot of children ...  Read the complete review

Cala Millor has changed a bit in the 30 years since we have been there on honeymoon. Although much larger and more developed since '78 i't well worth a visit or stay. We spent a week in the little known hotel Porto Fishio - great accomodation but exclusive and hard to find. Almost a secret! "The" place to eat or just lay back chillin with a drink is The Oxford Blue. It's relaxed and welcoming and does great food to. The couple who run it are Steve and Fiona and they will make young and old feel right at home. The bar has the usual big screen but it also has the Wii great for the kids (dads to). It's nicely placed to, just back from the manic hustle ...  Read the complete review

Mallorca or Majorca? What's the answer. Well, when you first get there you think that it doesn’t really matter but for the record , Majorca is a name visitors have given this absolutely beautiful Mediterranean island. Locals call it Mallorca, they live the Mallorcan lifestyle. It's the largest of the Balearic islands, 200 km south of Barcelona, off the east coast of Spain. So now you know where it is, you will want to know why you should go there. For us, we were eagerly awaiting our first-ever cruise and the offer of a week-stay on Majorca, before that experience, was too good to pass up.
