Отдых на о.Мальорка Holidays on the island of Mallorca

As always, it was painful to choose where to go on vacation. My husband has only 2 weeks of vacation. We chose what is on offer this year is the Balearic Islands. The tour for three adults cost 107 tr. with a departure from St. Petersburg for 10 days. Flew with Spanish Airlines, new Airbus. Tour operator-Terramar tour, in St. Petersburg bought tickets from Toursfera on the street. Chudnovsky. We arrived at 6-30, check-in at 14-00, everyone who flew with us did not take bribes, they waited until 12-30, then they began to settle. The hotel is located 7 km from the capital of the island, Palma. By bus 15 min. with stops, by car 4 minutes, spotted. About the hotel: It is better to consider it as a hotel. This hotel is now actively sold on the Russian market, and there are almost no reviews about it, I found only 3 reviews, the rest I translated in Google from German sites. There is no territory, swimming pools, baths, the sea downhill, back uphill. It is better to take a car and explore the island, the hotel is boring. We took an Opel Corsa car for 5 days and drove all the way and across. Then in the evenings we went by bus to Palma for a walk 2 euros worth a ticket. The contingent of vacationers in the first place were the French and Germans, then the Italians and the British, Russian families at the time of our stay at the hotel were 12-14 at most, we all knew each other by sight, talked, exchanged impressions. No one knows Russian, except for the Bulgarian waiter, Anatoly. He brought us all up to date, how to find what, where and how to go and helped with the translation, many thanks to him. Guide Peter is not what, he lied, dodged, sent to the left addresses, expensive excursions vtyuhivali who went with him were all disappointed. We love to explore on our own. The food is normal (see photo), full board plus beer and any soda. We always dined somewhere, about 60-70 euros for three with drinks, but the portions are huge and the food is delicious. There were serpentine roads in Valldemossa, everyone quarreled while we arrived (my husband was driving). It takes 1 hour to drive, there is nothing special to see, narrow streets, classic Spanish flavor, and if you take a tour there for 65 euros per person, it’s not profitable at all, the car helped out. I liked the oceanarium more and Kathmandu Park, they don’t take excursions there, they get on the bus themselves, these objects are not far from Portas Nous. Were in the Dragon Caves in the town of Porto Cristo, tickets 57 euros for three (son is a student). I liked it, not usually. We explored the beaches of the island, we liked the beach in the town of Arenal the most - this is one of the first tourist areas in Mallorca, located 15 km from Palma. There is also a small marine club. This is a very lively resort for young lovers of noisy, active and inexpensive recreation, German youth mainly rest there, they did not hear Russian at all. In general, Mallorca has four national parks of Cabrera, Albufera, Mondrago and Dragonera, we visited Albufera, looked at nature, flora and fauna. The weather was in the afternoon around 30 in the evening 25, very comfortable, not stuffy. In general, I recommend a holiday in Mallorca, but not a get-together in a hotel.
