A brief outline as most has been said by previous reviewer. Our fourth visit to this hotel. A few changes from last year-
Snack bar now closed-no longer serving burgers etc, now serve snacks in the dining area-self serve, crackers, pate, sandwhiches, toasties etc. We found this better as you could have something healthy rather than fried.
Hotel was spotless as usual. The staff are dedicated to ensure the place is maintained day and night.
Lovely welcome from all staff-always remeber you. You can buy a newpaper from reception daily if you want. Food is very good but can be repetative and by the end of the two weeks we had a couple of meals out 9 a lovely bar across the road (Baileys).
Was great to see a lot of faces from previous years-certainly tells me that they are doing something right.
We go to chill out and lay by the pool most of the day. Others walk to the beach which is opposite-amazing and a lovely breeze. Weather was fantastic (late 30's most days). Bingo was excellent over 400 euros every night (we won 425 euro's our first week!).


Will certainly be back the same time next year-hoping to meet lots of friends for another good holiday.

Was really clean hotel.Few yards from sandy beach. food had really good choices for all meals and u could eat all day if u wanted!! We were looking for a chilled out holiday and as we had picked the end of season that is what we got. Entertainment was good which surprised us so late in the season. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel but may be a pain at height of season as adults only so imagine it must get really busy!!

Not visited Majorca before. Alcudia was lovely and the hotel was excellent. Rooms were clean, all with balconies, our room was at the front which overlooked the beach (through the trees opposite). Didn't spend much time at the pool, we preferred the beach which was just across the road. You could always get a sunbed (9euros for 2 all day) and the water was beautifully clear and warm. We tended to have breakfast, go the beach, come back for lunch and back to the beach for the afternoon. Entertainment was good each evening in the concert hall which usually started with a quiz, then bingo and then the star turn which was different each night, we particularly enjoyed the tribute to the Riverdance and the Westlife tribute band got everybody up dancing. The hotel guests were english/scottish so there were always people to chat with. We will definately go back to this hotel again because of the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great that there was no children although our son and his girlfriend were with us they are adults now and we have done the childrens holidays when he was growing up - time for us adults to chill out and enjoy ourselves.

Having just returned from this hotel I can tell you that most of the complaints from other reviewers have been addressed.

We had a brilliant time and are definitely going back.
This is an adults only hotel and if you want a holiday where other peoples kids make a noise all day, dive bomb the pool and generally cause a nuisance, then the Platja D'or is not for you. The guests when were were there seemed to be mostly 30-60 so young all night party goers might find its not their cup of tea.

The rooms are fine, clean well furnished and the towels are changed daily. They are carpetted (maybe they weren't before) and have a hairdryer, safe, TV (BBC1, ITV, Sky and CNN News)a fridge, air conditioning and comfortable beds. There is a bit of noise from the road but when the doors are closed you can't hear anything and its not that bad in the daytime.

All the staff are great and yes they take your plates quickly in the restaurant but thats good in my opinion-who wants used crockery left on the table?

The pool now has new comfortable furniture and sunbeds (going off other reports this was needed)and there were plenty of them. The hotel was full while we were there but we always got a sunbed. Having said that the beach and sea are 50 metres away and other guests leave their old beach mats so you don't even have to buy one. There is also a used books/magazines box if you finish what you are reading and even a box where sun lotion, shampoo etc is left by people who have left, just in case you run out.

The entertainment is pretty good. The entertainment staff Tracy and David do a great job. In the day they organise games eg Table Tennis, French Boules, Giant Darts etc but they don't pressurise you to join in. I would recommend that you participate because we found it a great way to meet other guests and everything is pretty easy.

In the evening entertainment is held in the air conditioned concert hall which I believe was built because locals complained about the noise in the past. Some of the acts were great Funk 5 (Soul Tribute band), a singer Comedian (whoes name escapes me) but we didn't enjoy the magic/acrobat act but everyone to their own. They even had a Mama Mia Show act if you like that sort of thing.

True the bar shuts at 11.45pm but its only a 4 euro taxi ride to the main Belle Vue street if you want to continue partying. The bar staff serve quickly and they limit you to 2 drinks but I can honestly say that even at 11.30pm I queued for no longer than 2 minutes and that's the busiest time. Drinks are beer and local spirits but they seemed OK and the soft drinks are Pepsi and Kas, 7 UP and are great. You save a fortune on poolside drinks. There are water dispensers in the pool, bar and restaurant areas and you can even have a piece of cake if you want it between 4pm and 5pm. The pool snack bar serves burgers, hotdogs chips, toasties when the dining room is closed.

The Restaurant has a wide range of food which is buffet style although they do cater for the British guests with a "Spanish" twist eg Turkey, Pork, Chicken, Beef, Fish etc. We found there was always something you will like and it was always hot. Empty containers were quickly replaced with full ones. The show cooking where the chef cooks in front of restaurant guests has something on the go all the time. Drinks in the restaurant are waiter service in the evening and they serve bottles of San Miguel, Pepsi, 7 Up, Wine or just water, which means you don't have the additional costs that other hotels charge.

All in all we thought the Platja D'or was a great holiday hotel and because it was only adults that was a real bonus.

We had previously visited this hotel before when it was Thomsom Gold (2004) so wondered what differences we would find. We booked the one week holiday at the last minute and were mindful of some of the negative comments that had previously been posted, we needn't have worried. Although the clientelle has changed somewhat from the Gold days (now younger), there are still no children allowed so it is a nice atmosphere. Only British holidaymakers as well so no major issues with sunbed saving.

The food is typical Restaurant style Hotel food that does become a little repetative, but you certainly wouldn't go hungry here, always plenty of choice with at least one fish dish and Show cooking as well.

I can't really comment on the daytime activities around the pool as we went across the road the short distance to the wonderful beach, the sea is so warm and you can go out for a long distance and it only comes up to your waist, so it is very safe. Previous guests had left their air-beds for others to use so most days we spent long periods just floating about enjoying the sun.

The evening entertainment varied, Bingo at 2030 was worth winning at 300 euros, and this was followed by the various acts. We stayed in for a comedian/singer who has starred on T.V etc, he was excellent. There was a band that were watchable, and a good illusionist.

Of course it is everybodies choice as to what they like, we passed on a couple of nights and walked up to the local bars where there is plenty of singing acts on. Also it is a nice walk along the prom up to Port Alcudia, it takes about 40 mins but you can get the ferry back or 5euros for a taxi.

All in all, this is as good as you are going to get an all inclusive holiday at the price you pay. There are no children running around, all the guests were British and sat chatting amongst themselves after the entertainment had finished each night. We were more than satisfied with our stay there and will definately be back again in the future

stayed 3 years a go what difference hate to say it but gone downhill fast food cold tasteless pork dishes galore chips soup like water cold veg breakfast good though waiting staff make you want to eat and go has quickly has possibly bar staff brilliant serve great just keep going entertainment terrible mostly tribute bands singers i use the word loosesly there 2 weeks saw 3 watchable turns like i said downhill fast come on owners needs a make over fast

The rooms were spotless and a good view between the trees to the lovely beach.

The food was very well cooked one night I asked the chef to cook me a stir fry which he did.

Cant go wrong for beach hotel a fair walk to bars and shops the staff were 100 % could not do anough to help in any way.

Entertainment good for Spanish hotel would come back again going to Sa Coma in a few weeks time will report about that.

well what can we say just came back from this hotel and we had a fab time food was just great david and tracey entertainment staff was great always kept you amused all in all we had a fantastic time going back next year and looking forward to it

we found hotel again good,we did not have or hear complaints about food from the people we met,all thought excellent value for the amount you pay.Very clean,staff very friendly.It's nice to be able to sleep in peace after midnight,rooms good,sea view lovely.We found this hotel again to be ideal for adults,you can walk miles as it is flat there,we walked back to hotel on the beach,which is just across the road.Reps there most of the time,we only needed to talk to them for information as we had no complaints,they were good and we had some laughs with them.For a quiet,comfortable holiday,good food as they cater for all tastes,cleanliness,in and around the pool area this is a bargain.We will be back again for the fourth time,we found August not as mad as July maybe that is why there is improvements on other comments.

This was our second visit to the hotel as we enjoyed it so much last time. Perhaps we were lucky last time in that we had quiet neighbours, this time was a different story. The walls are paper thin and you can hear EVERTHING going on next door, we were woken at 3am by doors banging, loud talking and drawers being shut, if your neighbours don't move their beds away from the wall then you will when they turn over, we wore ear plugs every night.

The hotel is showing its age, its needs new carpet thru out, there are some very horrible stains both in the rooms and out in the coridoor.

The maids do a good job, they are kept busy sweeping glass up from round the pool area, I don't know why the hotel does
not use plastic cups.

The food was o.k. Bit repetitive, pork , chicken, pork , chicken.....Fish, We ate out one night as it appeared to be all chinese.

The hotel asks the men to wear long trousers for the evening meal and then allowed a young lady to enter the dining room wearing what she had been wearing all afternoon, a very skimpy pair of shorts and a bandeau. To be honest it was a bit embarassing. Dress code should apply to everyone, " smart but casual " ?


The hotel is all inclusive, there wasn't any rowdy behaviour or drunkeness, probably cos they serve cheap spirits, its impossible to get drunk, I had 4 vodka and orange drinks and a baileys and to be honest I was stone cold sober.

The entertainment at night was good on the nights when it was outside acts.We saw the Beegees, Tempations, Jackson 5 tribute bands and they were worth stopping in for.
