Just arrived home yesterday after a brill week in Playa Gardens. Booking again for next year. It's the first place that the whole family has agreed on to go back to. Flew with Spanair - very basic, booked our seats together but ended up with one of us in row 3 and the rest of us in row 23.Apartments fine for the short time we were in them. Location - the best ever with the beach on your doorstep. Pool Area quite spacious - had to be up about 8.00 for sun beds, whats new about that. Staff excellent and entertainment crew were brilliant, something for all ages, even adults, the kids (14 and 9)loved it. Pool bar ok for snacks, buffet food ok, a bit bland but the desserts were yummy. Seemed to be a Happy Hour every few hours in the bar.Restaurant directly across the road disappointing - but for a

We arrived at the apartments on sat 10th July. The reception staff were very friendly, giving us various information about the hotel.We were given a garden card so that we could charge drinks meals etc to our room bill if we so wished.
The entrance and reception area of the hotel are very grand and extremely clean a great first impression.
Our request for a high floor apartment with a pool or sea view was met, we had views over both. Fantastic.
The waiters were great fun very warm and friendly especially Maribelle,Tony,Salva,lucas and Dani. All reception staff were friendly and couldn't help enough.
The food in the hotel was good . Good restuarants near by or jump in a taxi and head to Alcudia.
Our rep Diane was very bubbly and always made time to ask if our stay was enjoyable.All the children's club reps chatted and were friendly even though our two daughters never attented the clubs. A truly fantastic team that I would be glad to leave my children with.
The entertainment team where do you start. Fantastic. Sarah is the boss and she loves her job she ooses enthusiasum and vigor on the stage. She also puts up a good fight on her lilow in its a knockout!!
Curtis and Tony are brill guys great singers and always ready for a laugh.Kay is a really talented girl and has the looks to go with it,she has the voice of an angel. We got close to Kay and spoke to her on many an evening I'm sure your talent will be discovered and you will go far.Andrea is a great dancer and always up for a laugh. Well done everyone not forgetting Anders on the sound and lights.
We would definately return to this hotel again its in a quieter area and we find this suits us well as a family.

Sent here as a last minute change by travel agent who had a problem with booking. Definately a result, very pleased with both standard of rooms and pool area which was excellent. Had to get your sunbeds by 8 but this was no problem as i got up every morning for swim in pool followed by very enjoyable run along the beach which is right next to appartments. The kitchen area was very small but was only used for a cuppa or occasional bacon sandwich so no problems there. The staff were always very helpfull and friendly and i thought the entertaiment was very good and enthusiastic. It may have paled a bit over 2 weeks but for the week we were there thought it was very good. I travelled with my 19 year old daughter and boyfiend plus my 17 old son and mate, as well as my wife and we all thought it was excellent, wish i had discovered it when the kids were younger.
Had the buffet a couple of times and thought it was fine, not fancy but then we weren't paying fancy prices. Used the snack bar a couple of times and again fine for what you paid.
Weather was superb, very sunny but the breeze from the sea kept it from being stifeling. Didn't bother to hire a car as only there for a week, did a couple of trips, one to Palma the other to water park. Both were fine, no doubt you could have saved a few euros by shopping around and hiring a car, but what the hell, as far i was concerned the convenience and no hassle was well worth the extra few euros, after all that's what a holiday is for --relaxing.
All in all an excellent holiday, next time i go to alcudia would almost certainly use them again

We have just returned home from our 3rd trip to Playa Garden in 12 months, yes we think it is that good! We have also booked to go in August. It is in a quiet location out of Alcudia but we like this as we have a 3 year old and a fourteen year old, we find there is no need to leave the complex as the entertainment is fab and the food is good.There are restaurants in the area which are also good. Yes you do need to get up early to to get a sunbed as the pool area is popular, this is not a problem to us as we don't go on holiday to stay in bed all morning. The apartments are the cleanest I have stayed in and the food in the restaurant is good quality, with very friendly service from the waiters. The service from hotel reception staff and cleaners was excellent and the entertainment team were the best I have seen.

Second time around and just as good.
Hotel kept up to very high standard with grounds constantly being tended and maintenance people very quick if any problems. Rooms very clean with well stocked kitchen area.
Reception staff superb and general facilities very clean. Always someone around to help if needed.
What really makes this holiday though are the Entertainers and I promised to mention them as I know they read this web site - so a huge thank you to all these very talented people who couldn't be friendlier with a special hello to the following who I met last visit, Sarah, Tony, Kay and last but by no means least my daughter's favourite, Curtis - wonder what time he got home on our last night? I can't forget Joline, Anders and Inger - dreadful spelling but they will know who I mean
I don't think you could find a better family holiday if you have children in tow - they are looked after from morning till night with all the various activities laid on and the adults are well looked after too - my husband played football and water polo - yep I can still hear Tony cry- I'm in charge!! ha ha.
The world is a big place with so many places to see but if you can squeeze in a visit to this hotel you wont be disappointed!
We could not fault First Choice with anything other than - ditch Iberworld as your airline....unless you like eating bricks with ham and cheese!
Enjoy!

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. Our room was very clean and had a fantastic view of the beach and pool. We went self catering but we did eat in the papaya garden bar which was basic but ok. The hotel was set was in a very nice complex surrounded by shops bars resturants and stuff for kids to do you didnt have to leave the complex at night.
The staff in the hotel were very friendly and couldnt do enough for you.The entertainment team were very good realy enjoyed the grease show. Did feel on arrival that the reps were a little pushy with there selling this went on all week only doing there job i suppose all in all had a realy nice hoilday there would go back again.

Having read all reports prior to travelling, I must say I agree with most of it.
We flew out of Cork Airport - supposed to be a direct flight to Palma but NO, as the numbers were down, the wonderful First Choice people decided to send us on a diversion through Shannon - so what was supposed to be a 2 hr 20 min flight turned into a 5 hour flight. Basically, spent from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. travelling! Not impressed with flight being diverted.
Rooms cleaned 5 days out of 7. Average cleaning.
4 Star Complex - NO WAY - Been in loads of 3 stars and no difference.
Didn't eat there due to Reports I read on this site however, having spoken to many other guests whilst there, none had anything favourable to say about the food. Restaurant quite which said it all. Did eat twice in the Papaya Snack Bar - crap food - usual greasy chips etc. dreadful salad. Pricey for what you get.
Value for money overall in hotel/complex - BAD!

This was the best holiday i have ever been on. Kids loved it. They made loads of new friends due to wavelength. Kevin the rep is fantastic and a bit of a hunk if i do say so myself. We got a lot of time to ourselves as the kids were always with friends at the pool and 'crash out sessions' during the evening. Absolutely fantastic. I would love to take my hat off to kevin and his great attitude towards my children. They loved it.
The night-time entertainment was a hoot. The team were fantastic and very very good at getting people to join in with games.
Location was great, really close to the beach and no roads to cross so great if you have small children.
Staff were great. Cant really say much else about them. Good friendly attitude though.
Only bad thing about this hotel was the food. It was ok if you were on a diet but not edible at all. Dont apy for the sunday night meal as it is disgusting. Although the place right next door is delicious. Im not quite sure of the name of this cafe but the kids insist that its called 'tonys'. lovely food and english waiters aswell! Bonus. Cheap and they sometimes forget to add drinks to the bill which was a plus for us as our kids were very thirsty due to running around all day.
The apartments were extremely clean and maids were very friendly. Fresh towels every day and lovely peopleto have visit your apartment.
I would love to visit playa garden again and cant wait until we save up to go again.
