I am trying to book my holidays for this year and as a disabled holidaymaker I always like to research a resort before I book. I went to Palma Nova a couple of years back and really enjoyed it there, so I thought I would give Majorca another go this year and particularly Alcudia. Does this resort have decent access for people in wheelchairs? Is there access to any of the beaches? Any ideas of hotels that would have suitable rooms for my wheelchair. I have read positive stuff about the Alcudia Gardens and the Astoria Playa. Final point that I would like advise on is would it possible to walk to Puerta Pollensa or how much would it be in a taxi? Sorry to ask so many questions, but it's always important to have as much info before I book anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
Amy
Have a look at the Cuidud Blance, right on the beach, with a long flat promanarde in front, slopes throughout the hotel
As to the hotels you mentioned, Alcudia Gardens is in the port area and more or less right next to the beach, the Astoria Playa in the Bellevue area opposite the Ciudad Blanca that Biff mentions. Both (unlike the Ciudad Blanca) would require crossing the main road to get to the beach, but this has become a lot easier (and safer!) since a number of crossing islands were built.
Puerto Pollensa would be a fair old way to walk, it is some 7 kilometres from the old town. A taxi, based on 2007's prices, costs 11 euros from the old town or 13 from the port.
Alcudia caters well for wheelchair users and there are many here in summer.
Thank you so much for the information. I will add the Ciudad Blanca to my list of possible hotels. From what I've researched Alcudia does seem quite an accessible resort for me, so hopefully I will be able to get something sorted.
