In General
Started off rather bad with a day and a half I was notified that my son's friend was unable to come away with us
Due to the fact that he told his football club 4 days before that he was going away of which they said don't come back if you do
As it is a pro club and he is on a two year contract he did not come of which I can understand
But what I could not understand was that neither he nor his parents did not inform the club he was going away sooner
So after frantically trying to get a replacement of which we could not due to the short notice it was just the 3 of us
Luckily he made some friends of both sexes
Anyway on with the holiday report
Arrived at Mahon airport after one hour delay on flight from Gatwick due to refuelling (never knew it took that long ha ha)
Got a taxi to Roc Lago Park apartments for €65
Only to be told (yes you have guessed it) we have a problem you have been double booked for the first night
I was aware this was going to happen so was expecting it.
After a bit of negotiations I got the safety deposit box for free rather than 2 days half board that was offered
The next day we moved into our 2 bedded apartment that was looking straight out to the marina room number 1315 if anyone wants to ask on arrival, could not have asked for a better position in the complex
On the last day managed to persuade them to let me have the room all day as we had a 10pm flight home
This was the worst flight we have ever been on due to the 20 -30mins of the worst turbulence we have ever experienced
The plane was all over the place flying over France and I thought I was going to meet my maker at one point
Room
Was basic but clean and tidy and lets be honest what more do you need as I was not planning on spending that much time in there anyway
So it was more than adequate
Only found the odd ant so no problem there
Weather
Was reported of being 45 degrees some days but in general in the 30's
We had a couple of days where it rained for about 10 mins at a time but then the Sun was back out shortly
A few cloudy parts of some days too but it was a welcome relief as being very hot it did not worry us at all
Cleaning
Was fine as kept clean and tidy by the maids a few times a week
What more do you need
Entertainment
Was not the best but in apartments it generally isn't and expected this
As the marina kept us busy and entertained most nights
But Suzanna, Yvonne and Joris done a great job throughout the whole of the long day they worked
And did put some worthwhile performances of what we did see
Eating out
Well what can I say some fantastic restaurants we ate in
La Fontana for us was the best of a very good bunch
Great full English
Steak cooked to perfection
Bolognese pizza out of this world
Spag Bol and Lasagne to die for
El Pato great Steak and Fish also paella was good
Mr Jaume as above
El Pescador Spanish omelette was quite bland but ok
Legends great Sunday Lunch plus they had the footie on too
Toro Negro was good but about the most expensive of the lot we ate in
Picola was ok too
Chinese buffet was ok but we were the only ones in there
The Pool
On arrival I thought oh dear it's too small
But found that it was ok in the end as once you were in the pool plenty of room for water polo against some of our Dutch friends
We never had to get up too early to get a sun bed
8 o clock and I was generally one of the first
No ants what so ever round the pool that I could see but I must admit I was not looking for ants as I was on holiday
Got used to the egg mayonnaise smell after a while
Overall
We had a fantastic stay at The Roc Lago Park
The location in my opinion could only be matched by the Casa Del Lago which looked lovely apartments of which I will stay in one day very soon I think
The water park although small was nice
Although I have seen lots of complaints about the Roc Lago Park after my experience I would actually recommend the place as there were only ever minor irritations in my opinion so did not spoil my holiday at all
Cala n Bosch is a lovely place to visit and I look forward to going back in the next couple of years
Egg mayonnaise smell? Smelt it at the Paradise Club too, just couldn't think of a way to describe it!
Yes Nic we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend
Was la fontana the restaurant by the bandstand?
Anyway, glad you had a good hol too. Im missing cab soo much, as it is so dreary here in yorks
It must have been a scary flight, I dread turbulence. Daughters friend has just come back from Menorca and they had to make a emergency landing 10 minutes after take off due to probs with fan overheating. They didnt actually fly home till the next day. But got to stay in cab another day!!
Yes La Fontana was next to the band stand on the right as you look at the little stage
Yes it was pretty scary LOL
Can't wait to return either next year or the on after
