Hi thanks for the weather report, the 10 day forecast looks fairly promising i have to say, 4 sleeps and counting, shame we wont see him in resort, i wouldnt have thought we would have found him anyway seeing as the place is so big.
thanks again

Click Here for our reviews of this accommodation. As with most things, not everyones tastes are the same. I've never stayed here so cannot help with my opinion. :cry:

Alcudia is very geared up for young families so am sure that the resort will suit. Click Here for our Alcudia resort reviews.

Would recommend, looking at the reviews, that you take some insect repellent.

Hi

I cannot comment on your appts as I did not stay there on my recent trip but with regards to things to do, I guess it depends on your little ones.

I struggled to entertain my 14mth old, however I would think she would get fed up anywhere!

Apart from the Beach (which is superb) and the pool, I cant think of anything really worth doing, apart from possibly Horse-riding, if you children are into that.

shell,

Me and my family are there tommorow, I will get back to you on my findings.

Also some couple on here called Steve_Claire should be arriving back today after spending 2 weeks there.

I wouldent worry too much about Belleview, We are only using it to sleep in at end of day, :)

I tottaly agree, you poor thing obviously had a similar experience to us then, be sure to review the place on here so that others can get a clearer view on the place, sorry you didnt have a good time, the shame about the belleview is, it does have the potential to be really great, but it needs some serious money spending in there, and enthusiam, failing that a bulldozer :roll:

we stayed in bellevue appts this time last year. we were in the fedra 2 block. we had 2 young children and a baby. when we got in our room there was no cot for the baby - that was our first complaint. there was a constant leak under the sink which we were always mopping up. every night we were woken by noisy students running up and down corridors pushing doorbells. the maids thought it was safe enough to leave our bedroom windows and patio doors open - not a good idea to leave valuables in your room. the hotel was a nightmare but we did have good weather and majorca on a whole was quality. there were no mosquitos when we were there.

Hi there,
When we were there this year 14th till 28th may, there were loads of spanish students about the place too, extremely loud, bolshy rude, the mess and behaviour in the food hall was unbelieveable, we wandered up towards the fedra block one afternoon thinking they had some great form of pool entertainment going on there due to the noise levels on approaching the area, it actually turnrd out to be the students, leaping in and out of the pool running, shouting etc there was at least 40 of them, it put us off big time as we had a young family with us.
It seems that these students go there around the same time each year and pretty much have the run of the place, thank goodness we were not staying in the same block as them, i heard from other families who were desperatly trying to move blocks to get away from them, such a shame when we have all spent our hard earned cash on our holidays, last thing we need is it ruined...

yes we had a party of 7.3 young children under 6,and a grandmother.And we complaind and they said that was the only room that size left on the complex!! first choice were rubbish!! then after 2 nights in the morning the students moved out and we thought we could have anights sleep another lot moved in!! its a shame because some of the other blocks looked quite nice! from the outside!! but the apartment was filthy we had to clean it top to bottom before we could live in it.my wife got sickness the night before were due to come home!! alcudia was nice but that hotel for me was very poor.

Hi,

agreed,our apartment was filthy too, we also cleaned it on may an occasion as the maids were useless, we all had bad sickness and diahorrea for 6 days, i put it down to the state of the complex, the public toilets in all the whole complex that we came into contact with, were horrible too, such a shame when all we wanted was a good holiday, wouldnt return if i was paid too, hopefully other people will take on board the negative comments before booking up.

:( well we went to the bellview apts as a familyof 20 odd and found nothing right with the place , from huge bites by the mozzys , room cleand only once over two weeks that includes the bed sheets , the cost of the on site bars and kids entertaiment, the smell from the water ways, and the staff attitude towards the british family holiday maker, however there was a couple of bars and returants in the town that was very good, one bar in particular was the picadilly hi ben if you are reading the kids thought it was great, we went at the begining of may and will never stay at bellview again we will go back to fie star ha! ha! :wink:

Oh My God!!! Not looking too great then...
Here's hoping they too have seen your reviews and have altered things a little.. lol :?
Thanks for letting us know. x

the first thing you will notice about the place is the sheer size of it, if they took on board the negative comments rather than ignoring them it could potentially be fantastic, i really hope you have a great holiday though, we have been back 4 weeks now and would love to return, Alcudia i mean, not the bellevue
happy hols
