Myself,husband,2 kids, mother in law, sister in law, brother in law, his wife and their little girl all went to stay at this hotel.

From the moment we arrived we could tell we made a good choice, the staff were helpful and friendly, the food was excellent everyday, the hotel was very clean.

We celebrated my daughters 7th birthday while we were there, and ordered a cake at the cost of 16 euros, which was a big size and very nice, they also brought it to our table and sung happy birthday in Spanish.

The beach was a short walk away which was beautiful, although we spent most of the time around the hotel pool.

The reps were brill especially Roly. The kids club are excellent, and get 2 hours of time for yourself, perfect for chilling out.

We didn

The hotel was generally excellent. It should be noted that it is actually in Playa Del Muro which has good collection of bars and amenities aroud but is a good twenty minutes walk from main stretch of bars but there is plenty to do.
Rooms were a bit small as there were three of us and others had the same feelings. These were very clean though. The apartments across the way may have been better in retrospect.
Hotel staff really good, food excellent. Pool superb and lots for kids to do - playgrounds for different age groups plus kids' clubs. Entertainment staff were really good - Roley and Annabel took on daily programme enthusiastically.
Only real gripe about hotel was drink prices e.g. almost four euros a pint and the bar staff seemd to revert to Spanish and talk about me at times - was I paranoid??

We stayed in the self catering apartments, which although a little on the small side, were pleasant enough and very clean. Facilities in out apt included fridge, microwave, toaster, 2 ring cooker, ironing board, iron and TV. Only complaint was the toaster which you had to hold down to work.

The food was very good, something for everyone from our young daughter (2yrs) to our 13 yr old.The breakfasts had english breakfast style food (sausage/egg/bacon/toast etc) but also had healthier options (fresh fruit/cereal) Evening meals were very good also and had food that you were used to at home home but also a good selection of Spanish salads and paellas etc. The staff in the buffet restaurant were very courteous and professional, especially Alex the head waiter. Drinks at beakfast are self service and free (tea/cofree/milk/juice) however you have to pay for drinks in the evening - We only drank water and it was 1.90 euro for a 0.5ltr bottle.

All hotel staff (especially the cleaners who came every 2nd day to clean our room) were friendly and always made an effort to say hello and have a friendly chat, even if we were sometimes speaking broken spanish/english.

Entertainment was good.....Beatles tribute band/magic shows etc.

I would recommend the excursion to the Sunday Pollensa market and Formentor. The Thomson guide was very informative/the Pollensa market/village beautiful and the views from Cap de Formentor breathtaking.This was 18 euros each.

On first impressions hotel was great. We had a couple of problems in our room which were sorted out straight away. The food in the hotel was pretty good the only problem was the waitresses in the hotel are in such a hurry to clear your plates that they sometimes take stuff away while your still eating in eagerness to set up for the next meal. One other thing about meals if you turn up late they don't seem to like it, breakfast was on until 10 o clock and if you have a late night and come down at 9.45 am the staff do not look too impressed and the juice machines are turned off at bang on 10 o clock so be quick.

The rooms are basic but comfortable. TV's in room have bbc1, bbc2 and cbeebies, but if you want to turn volume up louder you will have to pay for remote. No fridge in room costs 7.5 Euros a day to hire. Cot was supplied for our 16 month old with blankets and sheets. Balcony's quite small with 2 chairs and a small table on with a small rack for drying clothes on. Cleaners were fantastic bedding and towels changed every 2 days. Safe in room cost 38 euros for 2 weeks and you get 3 euros back.

Bar service is good but no wonder at the price they charge for a pint at 3.80 euros and coke at 1.90 euros for a small glass no wonder we starting going elsewhere for a drink. Cheers bar is brilliant for all kids open until 2 am lots of games for kids, people dressed as tweenies and other characters doing dances, quizzes and karaoke plus a big arcade.(2.30 for a pint and 1.50 for a coke). Plus if you are unfortunate enough to be in the bar/pool area at 1 am in the morning, be prepared to be kicked out. The pool area and bar are locked down at 1 am until 9 am. If you are chatting with friends or just relaxing having a beer you either have to sit in reception or go up to your room, we felt like kids being told to go to bed.

The pool was very cold and if you are taking a small child with you introduce them to the water slowly as it is a shock to the system try the sea or hidropark its warmer. There is a kids club for over 3's which is free, but if you

The rooms are very small but cleaned daily.Breakfast is served from 8am till 10am but dont be late as they start setting up for dinner and the machines are turned off at 10 am prompt.Snack bar is open from 1pm till 3.30pm which serves burger style meals.Dinner is at 6 pm till 8.30pm good food but little choice and repetetive on a weekly basis.

The bar is very expensive costing 3.80e for a pint of san miguel compared to 2.30e in the local pub.The bar closes at 1am and you are asked to leave to finish your drinks in reception area ,the bar area then reopens at 9am which also gives you access to the swimming pool at this time.
Cheers bar over the bridge is a fantastic pub which keeps the younger kids entertained while there is an arcade next door for the older kids.

Pirates is an excellent show,expensive but worth it ,we were a bit frustrated as the bus droppped us off at 5pm but the doors do not open until 5.45 leaving you in the heat for a good 45 mins.Also we were never given the option of quarter deck but the only difference seemed to be expensive and they had table cloth,glasses and proper plates rather than all plastic like the main deck.They also had champagne and had priority service.

The staff at the hotel were excellent very friendly and helpful.The children clubs are only on for 2 hours a day but the reps are excellent,Thomson have got an excellent team working there.There is a mini disco at 8pm followed by presentations then at 9pm it is bingo time.At 10pm the main entertainment is on and the reps do a show once a week.

We really enjoyed this holiday, meeting some great people - Hi Maz, Lisa & Kye! However we would not go back to this hotel.

This was our 6th time at this Hotel everytime we set off on holiday we wonder if it is going to be as good as the last time. This year when we arrived we found that all of the entertainment staff and kiddies reps from our previous visits had left and had been replaced by new faces. At first we were a little apprehensive as to what our holiday was going to be like.

It was soon evident that Roly Poly Shmoley, Annabel and Carleen were as enthusiastic as the previous entertainers. They gave 110% each and every day making sure there was plenty of activities to keep the children and adults entertained.

Alex who is in charge of the resteraunt and kitchens did his usual professional job making sure that we were escorted to a table on the first night of our holiday, something he has always done. The food was excellent yet again, plenty of choice and always piping hot.

The reception staff, overlooked by Sue were extremely helpful always polite and very customer friendly.

Juan, Jose, Pepe, Fernando and Manuel made sure everybody who used the bar service were served as quickly as possible and as in the previous years always had plenty of time for the children.

This year because the temperatures were so high we spent most of our time on the beach rather than sweating it out at the pool side. This meant a short walk across the main road which normally took about 7 minutes. No hardship really.

Well done to everybody associated with the Hotel they made our stay an unforgettable one.We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Just come back from Alcudia I stayed in the Continental Park Apts I totally enjoyed my stay there it was fantastic. Most of it was a blur but 10/10 for me, the reps there sam, nina, kate, barbie, annabell were superb really nice people. Thompsons you got yourself a 1st class team there. They just dont stop they even had me joining in.

The Continental Park was excellent.It was very clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly, they all spoke good english, which makes you feel at home.We arrived at 10.30pm but it was nice that they had layed some tables in the dinning area for late arrivals, it was a cold buffet style.We had opted for half board, the food was excellent, always plenty to choose from, our 4year old daughter loved the deserts, plenty of ice-cream. The beach was 5mins away which was lovely, really warm and shallow.We bought a dingy and had hours of fun in the water.The pools at the hotel were great, a small one for the kids to play happily in.There was always plenty of entertainment going on day and night.The reps were brill, especially roley, fantastic.We went on the Pirates trip, an absolute must see, worth every penny! We stayed at the hotel most nights, the kids make friends, and they had a disco every nite, you must join in with the Court of king caractacus song, very funny. The weather was hot most days. We would definatly return to continental park and would certainly recommend to others. Go and see.

Having read al the above comments, especiallythose who moaned about the continental, I can only assume that there are TWO Continental Parks in Alcudia. I will openly admit that I can find fault with almost anything without too much of a problem, but having been to the Continental 1st two weeks in July 2002 I can honestly say that I had the best holiday of my life. Staff really helpfull, Thompson Reps couldn't do enough even John who spent over a week in plaster, waiter service for the bar in the evening, entertainment excellent ( even the reps show - HONEST), kids entertainment all day and most of the evening ( what more can one ask for).On our return last year we immediately booked up for this year and we can't get there quick enough. When you get here you must eat in the Argentinian restaurant " The Albufiera" - fantastic food and service.

HAVE FUN.:

The Hotel had excellent facilities, two nice swimming pools and an outside stage for the entertainment in the day and the evening. There was also an outside games area (arcade games, etc) and play areas. The location was ideal as only about 3 mins walk from the beach and near lots of shops and bars. The food was excellent. The entertainment in the evening was excellent. Excellent hotel
