Some sites indicate that this hotel is 3 *, but this is not so. After the reconstruction, it was awarded 4 * and many of the photos are old and do not correspond to reality.
In general, I liked the hotel. There were, of course, minor flaws. But for everything to be perfect, you need to order excellent 5 * and pay completely different money. Before that, we rested in Turkey and Egypt 5 *. Maybe, of course, we were unlucky with hotels, but these 5 * did not even stand next to 4 * in Mallorca.
The hotel is small, but at the same time there is a lot of entertainment on its territory: tennis courts, a football field, swimming pools, and a spa (by the way, you don’t need to pay extra for anything). I liked that sunbeds on the beach are free for vacationers at the President Hotel, this is a rarity for Spain, usually sunbeds for one day cost about 6 euros per person.
The restaurant has always cooked delicious food. Of course, for breakfast the food was the same every day, but they tried to diversify lunch and dinner. Of the main dishes, there were the following (of course, not all in one day, 5-7 dishes today, and tomorrow others, etc. ): chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit, pork, beef, lamb, various cutlets, mussels, large shrimps, squids, small crabs, cuttlefish, many different fish (including salmon steaks). I'm not talking about various salads, desserts, ice cream, vegetables. I will also list the choice of fruits: fresh pineapples, peaches, pears, plums, watermelons, melons, apples, nectarines, kiwi, strawberries, oranges. And it is also important to note that there were never queues for food (well, maybe 1 person in front of you and that's it), nothing ended, plates were changed even before the food had time to come to an end. Everything is very tasty, and not like in Turkey sour salads from the remnants of dinner!
I also liked the fact that wine and champagne are poured from bottles in the bar. Everything is also very tasty. Wine in Mallorca is generally very cheap. We went to the winery and bought many bottles of wine there for only 5 euros each (and even then, I'm sure the price is too high for tourists). At the same time, we were very cordially greeted, treated to 10 types of wine, made sandwiches with all sorts of pasties, etc. Now we drink this wine at home and enjoy. =)
Of course, I understand that you can’t choose a hotel solely based on the gastronomic side, but you must admit that it’s not a good idea to go on vacation and sit half-starved either.
We took all inclusive in this hotel and did not regret at all. We didn’t have to count the amount of juice or wine we drank (all for 3 euros 1 glass), run and look for cheaper water, because you drink it in large quantities. And the overpayment for all inclusive was small.
I want to say right away that if you are people who like to rock at discos, etc. , then you have nothing to do in this hotel and in this area. This is a place for those who come to relax with family and children or for those who want to take a break from the bustle of the city and from evening entertainment, a short animation program and pleasant gatherings in the bar with a glass of wine are quite enough for you. We went to the Port of Alcudia for a night disco, had fun, danced, but in our 30s we felt like old people there, people are mostly 18-24 years old. Although there were also small groups of adults.
Another disadvantage of the hotel is the lack of Russian-speaking staff. In Mallorca, few people speak Russian at all. But we know a little English, sometimes we asked the guide to help and everything was fine. I didn’t like the well-groomed sandy, but very small beach in the hotel. Although we rode a boat and looked at other beaches, which were larger, but there were a lot of people on them, so it was also crowded!
I also didn’t like the fact that very few Russians rest in the hotel, I would even say that they don’t exist at all, we are sociable people, so we really like to make new acquaintances. But we found a way out of the problem - many Russian Germans rested in the hotel, who now live in Germany, but still speak Russian quite well, so we talked with them.
We rented a convertible, it's very good to ride around the island with a breeze. Many do not advise taking a car from a guide, they say, it turns out much more expensive. But we went to see the prices in the city, we looked at the hotel. Indeed, the guide's cars cost 5-10 euros more. But we still decided to rent a car from him, because other landlords do not speak Russian at all. What if something serious happens, an accident, etc. At least the guide will help to get out of the situation, you can call him and he will solve our problems. And we can't even explain ourselves anywhere else. It’s not scary to drive around Mallorca, there are no police on the roads, we even drank wine, the roads are good, everyone drives carefully. True, the serpentine is scary! They took a Russian navgator from a guide and with the help of it they were determined on the ground. Palma is less than an hour from Alcudia. We saw many picturesque places. No one even checked the car, they just gave the keys and that's it. Gasoline cost a little more than 1 euro. For 1 day we spent 20 euros of gasoline. The car itself (Peugeot 308 convertible) cost 95 euros per day. But you can get a lot cheaper. Some small car within 40 euros, and if you take more than 3 days, then there is a discount. All cars are new and in mint condition.
The Spaniards are very good people, everyone around trusts each other, no one sticks to you on the streets, they don’t persuade you to buy some nonsense !! ! When I remember Egypt, it still gives me the creeps. You can walk and drive in Mallorca like in your own country!
By the way, I also forgot to say that there is a wonderful golf club next to the hotel.
The sea is clean, shallow entry.
We also went by boat to Formentor. I didn't like it, it was a waste of money. There is nothing special about this beach other than a good view. The people are dark. Moreover, I was stung by a jellyfish, the scar is still there, although there was not a single jellyfish on our beach! And people with a weak vestibular apparatus cannot ride a boat at all. It's terribly shaking there, I've never been swayed anywhere, but then it still began to feel nauseous... =(
In general, we really liked Mallorca, although we don’t want to return, it’s better to see something else new. The hotel is wonderful too. At least the value for money is perfect. Keep in mind that Mallorca is still not a youth resort. Even on the plane back and forth with us, mostly people over 30 with children flew, and many already quite adults over 50. If you are young and crave entertainment, then it’s better to go to neighboring Ibiza.
But in general, I advise everyone to such a holiday, and this hotel.
A few more words about the operator. We flew with VKO-travel and TUI (as I understand it, they are partners). I liked everything, we were without delays, overlays, etc. The guide spoke excellent Russian, told us everything, helped us. Although sometimes he was too lazy to clarify something and gave us inaccurate information (he said that tennis was paid, that on the day of departure we should no longer be fed lunch and we can’t take anything after 12 noon and can only sit in the lobby, etc. ) In fact, tennis was free, only you need to leave a deposit for the key, but then the money was returned back. On the day of departure, we were even invited to have dinner and a drink by the manager, who asked if we liked the hotel and if we would write a good review about them in Russia. =) I understand that the hotel has been working with tourists from Russia for the first year, so there are no reviews at all). And about the room on the day of departure. We really had to release him before 12, but at the reception you could take the key to another room for an hour, where you could take a shower before leaving, etc.
It was possible to move for free to a hotel of this chain in Magaluf, but the guide said that it was for a fee. It turned out that this was not true. In general, trust the guide, but check. Otherwise, the TUI worked perfectly, and their price was the best! =)
The weather in July was excellent within +33 and very sunny!
Everything, I'm tired of writing, sorry for the mistakes, I type quickly. There will be questions - write ; -)
