It was pure luck from in-depth web looking that led us to Alcudia Backyard ApartHotel in Alcudia, Majorca. We loved a calming, handy 4-night vacation, because of the unbelievable location, pleasant employees and glorious services.
I used to be searching for a resort in Majorca with a pool, the place the mattress formation meant Reggie and I may sleep in separate rooms if I wished, with 5* meals evaluations and close to a seashore. Additionally, someplace that was good worth.
The Alcudia Backyard Aparthotel undoubtedly delivered on all fronts. In actual fact, I used to be so impressed, I wished to let you know all about it.
Alcudia Backyard ApartHotel evaluate in brief
My three-year-old son Reggie and I stayed for 4 nights in an Annex Palm room, on vacation with my pal and her three-year-old son who stayed in the principle complicated.
At simply 80 metres from the golden sands of Alcúdia Seashore, this 3-star aparthotel has a relaxed environment – ideally suited for each households and {couples} (and never too a lot of both!). The property has lush gardens and wonderful palm timber dotted round. And there are just a few swimming pools to select from – together with 4 out of doors swimming pools and an indoor heated pool for cooler days.
Lodging at Alcudia Backyard ApartHotel
There are 276 rooms starting from customary doubles to one-bedroom flats. We had a one bed room house so I may sleep within the lounge if I felt prefer it. I didn’t although – love an opportunity to co sleep with my boy – even when that does imply waking up about 5 instances in an evening as he barrages into me eager to ‘cuddle up’.
I moved the beds towards the wall because of my unending worry of him falling off and we had loads of house within the room for our stuff.
We additionally had a spacious lavatory, a kitchenette, a lounge with two sofas and a wonderful balcony which had excellent solar at about 6pm for a drink earlier than dinner. I even managed a YouTube yoga class one morning with this for my view.
Our house was within the ‘Annex palm’. If you’d like a quieter vacation, that is the realm to be. If you wish to be within the midst of the motion, and never need to stroll to this point to your breakfast, then I’d suggest you keep in the principle resort space. I believe you probably have little youngsters, or any mobility points, keep in buildings 1-4. We have been in constructing 8.
On arrival they provide you a bracelet which is your key to get in your room. I can’t let you know how great this was for somebody like me who’s at all times shedding the cardboard in my bag. I would like one in every of these at house!
Meals on the resort
We determined to go half board which additionally included night drinks. This was a wonderful alternative provided that the breakfast was wonderful so we weren’t really even that hungry within the day. We’d have an extended, leisurely breakfast – sufficient time for 2 coffees – after which simply have some nuts and fruit for lunch, and luxuriate in a multi-course dinner within the night too.
The breakfast and dinner have been each buffets, and through our mid Might journey neither sitting felt too busy. I preferred the actual fact the resort appeared to draw a spread of clientele (not simply households) so it didn’t really feel too hectic with kids at any level.
We did have lunch on the pool bar at some point – a Ceasar salad and hen nuggets – which was okay. I did need to pour the water out from my salad and virtually crammed a glass, however Reggie was completely satisfied so so was I.
If I went once more I’d undoubtedly simply go B&B as there was a great deal of eating places to check out within the neighborhood. I’ve obtained completely no complaints about breakfast, it was nice. Dinner was… mediocre. Acceptable for a buffet. Clearly there are execs and cons however I like my dinner a la carte and didn’t really feel like I had a scrumptious night feed whereas I used to be there. You may’t beat the comfort of a buffet with hungry toddlers although.
Preserve an eye fixed out for the robotic waiters – the children beloved them.
Drinks have been obtainable around the pool all day lengthy, and cava was simply €3 for a wholesome paper glass full from the pool bar. Discount!

The aparthotel boasts a spread of actions all day lengthy. There’s an entire programme of actions for teenagers, and for the adults. You possibly can additionally go to the gymnasium, have a sauna or a calming therapeutic massage too. There’s additionally a wide range of sports activities services, together with volleyball and seashore soccer pitches.
We joined in with a Mojito making class, a smoothie making class and a few night karaoke.
The resort has a a personality ‘Woogie’ who seems from time to time. It was his birthday after we there so that they had some celebrations for him. He’s the mascot for his or her youngsters leisure.
In case you’re 4-12 you may be a part of the children membership freed from cost and take part with their video games and actions. Beneath 4 and you may take part with mother and father. We did some ‘water bowling’ (firing water pistols at skittles), and an exercise the place you threw balls joined with string over a rack and gained factors relying on what color they landed on. All good enjoyable for the kiddies, and tempted us away from the swimming pools for a bit.
The employees appeared beautiful and have been encouraging to the children (and adults) with out being annoying.
The perfect factor in regards to the resort, and what just about ensures my return at some point, are the swimming pools. They’d various depths, with an entire space a couple of metre excessive – so excellent for my son. I’m very cautious by water, however felt assured in letting him swim and wander about (with arm bands after all).
There was additionally an excellent shallow pool for the littlest kiddies that was enjoyable, after which the principle pool with its ‘desert island’ within the centre. This had a slope you can stroll down into the pool in addition to stairs, and was simply by the pool bar. My three 12 months previous beloved all of them, and so did I.
Exploring the realm
Past the resort, Port d’Alcúdia provides a lot to discover with outlets, eating places and cafes. There’s additionally somewhat playground close to the vacationer info.
Take a stroll to the close by marina, go to the historic Outdated City of Alcúdia (we went to the Sunday market), or enterprise to the S’Albufera Nature Park for a dose of pure magnificence. We went on a ship journey to Alcanada and its lighthouse, and Coll Baix Seashore. It went previous caves and at one level dropped anchor so we may leap off the again of the boat.
We additionally took one of many pedalo boats from Alcudia Seashore, and took the boys out within the bay. It was simple enjoyable for an hour!
