Hi, I went a few years back with Thomas Cook but First Choice ran the kids club and for a small fee my son was allowed to join.

As has already been mentioned the hotel will also have their own entertainments team, altough they won't necessarily take the children of your hands for three hours or so as the kids clubs do.

me & my fiancee took the kids to the Hotel Jupiter last year where we got engaged, we loved it there it was a shame we only went for 1 week. the entertainment everynight was great the staff were very helpfull & they always looked happy, the only thing we though that could do with changing is that only one hotel is open for lunch & it was like a bum fight to get anything & there were people pushing & shoving. other that that the hotel Jupiter was a Brilliant Holiday.

Also anyone that is going out there go on the horse & carts they were brilliant they take you to the beach from the hotel it was loverly,

were you can go first thing in the morning get your hand stamped go for dinner then go back till it closes its great it is not to dear neither


The prices to get in are as follows..... 17 euros for adults, and 8 for kids. Under 3's are free.

The water park is brilliant - FOR KIDS. Not a lot for adults. only 1-2 'thrilling rides' and on one of them you came to a stop before reaching the water, and you had to push yourself along. :lol:

Theres plenty to do for kids, loads of pools, wavepool, climbing frame thingy with slides and water shooting out in a huge pool. Park, golf, cafe,bungee trampoline thing.

Next time I go to Alcudia, I would like to be ale to go to AQUALAND and spend the extra money to go and have a more thrilling time, as there will still be just as much for the kids to do.

Going back to Club mac..... (I stayed in the saturno) it was absolutley fantastic, and I would like to stay for more than a week next time. Loads to do for the kids. Very clean. Waitresses cant clear up fast enough!! Only complaint is the lifts. 2 out of 3 were working.... BUt they were so slow!!!!!! A lot of the time I had to use the stairs (to floor 6) Ok, I know its all good excercise, but my legs and feet were pretty sore towards the end of the week!!!

I will be leaving a fantastic review for it. I wish I was back there 8)

Returned from Club Mac - we stayed in the Saturno hotel. Overall, a great place...if you have kids. First night I was there, I picked my plate up from the table wondering where to put it, only for it to be whipped from my hand from a smiling waitress. They really cannot clear up any faster than they already do. Plenty of staff on hand to clear tables, and replace with new tablecloth and cutlery for the next people.

Lifts were problematic quite often - mainly at peak times. You know, when people pack up from the pool side and go to get ready for the night etc. Very regularly there was a lift out of order and queues soon built up.

I could go on forever about the positives....good pools, great First Choice childcare and staff (hello Crazy Carla and Silly Jilly if you're both reading!), plenty of dedicated areas (gaming, eating, drinking, swimming, playing, resting), lots of hard working staff often jolly and going with the flow and actually looking as though they enjoy their jobs.

Though one dampner I have to mention is the blatant attempt of the hotel to try and persuade people to their rooms. The circus stage finishes at about 11.30pm, and all bars close at spot on midnight. 15 mins later, if you have decided to stockpile the drinks and sit about socialising with other holiday makers, you are plunged into darkness. Quite a rude way of saying "hurry up and get to bed" imo.

We live in a 24hr community these days, and to be on holiday and for you to be indirectly ushered to bed is not what I would expect in a holiday atmosphere. There should have been at least one 24hr bar where people could pay for drinks after time has been called.

Overall, a nice place, very atmospheric (when the 'lights are on'!), lots to do, plenty of food/snacks available.

Cheers mate, a fellow drinker. :lol:
Been there on two other occasions, and love it.

I know what you mean - we've often been part of the M.A.D. drinkers (Marte After Darkness)

:wink:

Sometimes pop over the road to the Britannia or Queens then! :P

I think by Spanish law, the outside entertainment has to stop by midnight nowadays....

I would have expected an indoor bar to stay open longer though.....

We stayed at the Marte in 93 and 94 when our kids were small. It was before it was AI. They loved the pools :)

However it was almost impossible to sleep...there was no air-cond in the rooms (is there now?) so you had to keep the patio doors open...we were facing the Saturno....and they tended to have German entertainment that side in those days, with loud music. Then you'd get coaches coming and going all night, people coming back drunk from trips, and the karaoke from nearby bars.

Then the staff would power-hose the paths and sunbed area at 6.30 am :shock:..and it would be nearly time to put the towels on the sunbeds :wink:

Ah....those were the days :)
