From personal experience of always taking our holidays in August, I have to say I couldn't do without it. Our first holiday didn't have it and boy did we suffer at night - the heat was unbearable to try and sleep in. We hired a fan which to be honest was a complete waste of money.

I have to say I find Majorca much hotter in August than the Canaries though. We were in Fuerte last August and while I wouldn't have liked to have been without A/C, the heat did not feel as intense at night.

I'd definitely want aircon in August...........Phew.

you'll be lucky find a holtel with air conditioning!!!!!

What?????????????

I've edited the posts/title as the word censor automatically removes the word c o n

just came back and talking to quite a few people over in various resorts they didn't have air con

Oh right...I see .

Having trawled the brochures on fuerte for our holiday 2 years ago I would say that most of the hotels had it but not all of the apartments.

Hi,
I don't know of any apartments here that have air conditioning, apart from privately owned ones. It is normally cool enough here in the evenings that it is not needed. I have been to Greece in the height of summer and it is much hotter there than here. We sleep with fans on us at night and it is enough. I don't think the islands electricity supply would cope if everyone suddenly started using air conditioning

we went the middle of july returned in aug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and we did need the air conditioning on, i suppose you could live without it but it would just be a bit sticky in there.

I could not stay in a hotel abroad in the middle of summer without air con. Bit concerned from the reviews i have read about the hotel i am going to in may that there isnt much aircon in the whole building in communal areas including the dining room.
