Can anyone offer some advice?

Hi Peeps,

Gatecrashing here from my usual haunt over at the Turkey forum!

My husband and I have booked a short break, fri 27th oct to sun 29th for our wedding anniversary (also allows me to get my supply of ciggies! :-) )

I can't decide where to stay for the weekend. We've been to Palma Nova a few years ago and also stayed in Alcudia, where we had a bad experience and go cryptosporidiosis at the Alcudia Pins

It put us off majorca for life. However, we've decided to give it another chance and have a dirty weekend

lol

Where do you think would be best for us, we do like a good range of bars and restaurants, not bothered about clubs. Also what is the taxi transfer times like to Magallulf/Palma Nova? Or to where you might suggest.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Just found two good deals, Hotel Levante Park in Cala Bona £20 per night half board (per room!) and the same price at the Marina Torrenova in Palma Nova.

We've stayed in the Vistanova and I'm guessing from the description that its near there. However, not even sure where Cala Bona is so will have to do some research. Will it be too quiet for us>

I've booked the hotel Marina Torrenova, on the hill between Palma Nova and Magaluf can't whack £20 for two people, two nights half board. Thanks for your help.

If anyone wants to suggest anywhere good to go for a drink/meal please feel free!

Hi Catherine,

If you still need help with taxi transfers we used Janerbus when we went to Palma Nova two weeks ago, and found them excellent. We booked them before going and they were there waiting at the airport for us, and also picked us up on time for our return trip. The web site is http://www.janerbus.com

have a great time

Scottish Mum, if you want a nice meal or snack try Tom Browns in Magalluff, there food is great. If you fancy a longish walk with a lovely setting for a drink, walk to the Marina end of Palma Nova, there`s a cove round the corner called Son Calui, we love to sit and watch the waves over a glass or two of vino.
Have a fab time.

donna 38 how much did you pay for your transfers and did you have many drop offs.

Thank you to both of you!

I have sent a quotation to Janerbus, since thats quite a few people on here now recommending them.

Hi catherine,

We booked a taxi with them and it cost us 28 euros each way. They tell you where to meet the driver and ours was waiting for us holding up our name on a card. We then went straight to our hotel, took us about 20mins.
We would use them again no probs.

If you can fly from Manchester or Stansted I believe that Air Berlin have some good fares to Palma, a pity the don't fly to Majorca from Scotland :cry:

Just to say thanks to everyone. We have now booked our return transfers with Janerbus, 30 euros each way.

Our return flight is at 1240pm we have asked for pick up from Palma Nova at 945am. Do you think this is ok?

check in never opens before 2 hours . Janerbus will be there at the correct time so you will arrive just at the right time.
