if this is happening on a regular basis then surely it is about time safety deposit boxes were put in a locked room next to hotel reception where they can be watched and put under cctv coverage.that way everyone would be safer and happier

i have stayed in hotels where boxes have been in a locked office in reception mostly in turkey maybe you should enquire about putting stuff in hotel safe????

We are back two weeks from the Lagotel and we had a wonderful holiday. The kids really loved it and want to go back again next year.

We went SC but we were able to upgrade to HB for a very good rate.

Have recently booked to go to Lagotel in Playa De Muro for 2 weeks in August, in the brochure it states that men must wear long trousers for the evening meal, is this true, as my husband is not keen :(

Hello daisey, most Spanish hotels make you wear long trousers if you are on half board, i think I know why if you ever go in at breakfast time and see some of the shorts that some men wear, so short you can see the crack of there bums and this is why. You can sometimes get away with 3/4 lenth ones in some hotels, you just have to do what I do have your dinner then go and put your shorts back on.

The Spanish are a bit more formal, and do like the guests to make something of an occasion of the evening meal......to relax and enjoy it, rather than gobble something down and rush off........

Most dining rooms are air-conditioned these days. He will only need a pair of chinos, not like work trousers, and as Dave said, change out of them after the meal :wink:

Most of the ladies like to put something nicer than t shirt and shorts on too, it all makes a change from the routine at home.....

If you treat the Spanish with respect, they will respect you......

daisey we went here in august 2005 and yes, you will need to pop in some long trousers for ya hubby to go in the restaurant. We were even told to go and change out of three quarter lengths :cry:

Funny thing is that during breakfast you can wear shorts etc- long trousers just for evening.

Hope that helps :) :)

daisey we went on an excursion with first choice to the water park by coach (1hr ride)- aqualand.

It is the largest one on the island and by far the best. We had a great day there.

there are lockers provided too, which are handy if you all want to go on the slides and not leave any valuables lying around.

We had a super time at the Lagotel- great place and beach is very nearby.
One great eating place is called "cheers" which is down the road from the hotel- lovely food here :wink:

We stayed for 2 weeks and all in all 100% happy :D :D :D :D

There's a smaller water park in Alcudia called hidropark, which
might be worth a visit too.

Hiya bushbaby, I haven't stayed at this hotel but I've just had a look on the net at their website and it does state that there are safety deposit boxes to hire if that helps. Click on this link http://www.majorca-mallorca.co.uk/hotel_lagotel.htm You could always e-mail them for peace of mind.
