All Inclusive Hotels in Mallorca (Majorca)
|
 |
All inclusive hotels are particularly useful if you have small children and a limited budget, as food and drink are already paid for.
Some amenities are free, although there may be charges made for certain rides etc.
Entertainment is usually provided by the hotel staff, with mini-disco and children's club for the children, arranged sports tournaments and professional acts several times a week.
|
All inclusive hotels are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the North of the island.
If you choose to holiday in Mallorca using this type of hotel you should be prepared for long queues.
The main areas are very crowded as the hotels are working from a strict budget and tend to be filled to capacity.
There are a limited amount of sun-loungers available and the drinks served in the bar areas are usually of the local variety.
The likelihood of imported beers and drinks is limited.

Self catering in Mallorca (Majorca)
|
 |
Self-Catering is another option. There are numerous Aparthotels and Hostals available in Majorca, enabling you to enjoy the large variety of local bars and restaurants nearby and giving you total flexibility with your holiday.
Apartments in hotel complexes usually have a kitchenette, with basic cooking facilities, cutlery and crockery available, as well as a fully fitted bathroom.

Any other requirements such as hair dryers and kettles can be hired locally, either directly from the hotel or from local companies. Games and sports facilities are often available and entertainment is provided most nights.
A large number of holiday complexes also have a supermarket in the grounds selling basic foodstuff and toiletries.
In addition, most resorts have several supermarkets which now stock British brand foodstuffs, including bread and tea-bags!
The prices are usually quite high compared to prices back home, the general attitude being that if you want it you have to pay the price, although
the fact that these products have to be imported should be taken into consideration.

Companies like Style Holidays specialise in providing holidays in Mallorca using a network of luxury hotels. They also offer a choice of exclusive villas available for private rental.
Spa resorts are the place to go for total relaxation. Most offer jacuzzi, sauna, steam rooms and gymnasium.
Rooms are of the highest standard and include all amenities, with the more luxurious suites often having a private pool. Food is of the highest standard, with hotels employing a top chef offering a wide selection of gourmet and a la carte dishes.
For business men wishing to impress-or just relax-there are many hotels on the island, often near to at least one golf course.
