All Inclusive Hotels in Mallorca (Majorca)
|
 |
All inclusive hotels are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the North of the island. This is 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.
|
If you choose to holiday in Mallorca using this type of hotel you should be prepared for long queues and crowded main areas 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 chance of imported beers and drinks are limited.

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.
