Hotel Description:
These apartments are special because... ...the stunning eight mile stretch of golden sand beach, the longest in Majorca, is just across the road. The Continental Park offers a good standard of accommodation with centrally controlled air-conditioning. However, the vast range of activities run by the Thomson Superfamily team will mean that you will hardly ever be in your room. loading...

" first family holiday "
Submitted By: davidp
this was our first family holiday, we have two kids aged 3 and 15 months, we chose this holiday due to the reduced price and the location as it was very close to the beach. On check-in the staff were very quick as it was 5 in the morning that was a bonus. The staff overall were very friendly and the rooms were cleaned daily although I am not sure how often the sheets and towels were changed and not just tidied. The rooms were very small, but with a kingsize bed a single and a cot it was to be expected. We also had a buggy with us that had to kept under the sink in the bathroom. The balcony was also tiny, just enough room for the two of us to sit. The main disappointment to us had to be the food, although there was a resonable range of food it was all pretty bland and as it is a buffet is always on the cold side, at the end of our stay we actually ended up eating out just to get some decent food, but I can honestly say there was always something you could eat and the kids didn't seem to mind. Th entertainment was so bad it was good, the Grease night has to be seen to be believed! They did try there best and the kids loved it but it was truly awful!! Overall as this was our first family holiday we did enjoy it I just think the hotel is a bit rough around the edges. I would recommend this hotel to families on a budget that are not looking for gourmet meals. 3*
Advice: the beach is brilliant and so shallow you can walk about 500 yards and it's only up to your waist
Activities: the swan, great kebabs

" Great Holiday for Families with Kids "
Submitted By: LolaPagola
This was a great holiday for Families with Kids. I'm usually used to 4 star or better and was a little apprehensive before I got there but was very happy with the outcome.
The Pros
Food - excellent with a wode variety (can't beleive the bad reviews this hotel has sometimes received for food - there must be some fussy perople out there! However I can't beleieve the amopunt of people there who never used the dining room in the day - just the snack bar - which isn't great) Every meal time there was salads fish a couple of meat dishes a pasta dish, vegetables, potatoes (of some variety) and chips - along with several desserts, Ice cream cheeses and dries fruits. Breakfasts included freah fruit cereals full english & continental. We ate there the majority of our stay. Tables cleared quickly and politley at all times.
Cleanliness - there is ALWAYS someone cleaning at the Continental park. Very clean (though the number of children there makes this a requirement - some are very disrespectful of the facilities) Rooms were cleaned every day with a full change of towels and bed linen every other day
Reception - very helpful thanks especially to Sue, but also Margharita et al.
Bar - wide variety of drinks in very generous measures. Thanks Hassan Pepe Maria et al.
KIds Entertainers - Although Thompson had its own whp were good - the hotels own were excellent. Stein, Jasmine & Sabine worked very hard fpr the whole 2 weeks we were there, organising various competitions such as water polo, pool aerobics etc. Some events for adults too. The Mini disco every night was repetative BUT that's what little kids love - to learn a dance and show that they know what to do - they loved it. Great entertainers - Thanks guys.
Pool - very clean area, no access before 9am to stop people reserving beds (great)
Alcudia itself is a bus rida away and is lovely though the beach accross the road from the hotel is lovely, lots of alternative places to eat round & about
Trip Recommendations - Palma, Valdemossa (both not particularly for kids) and the PPirates shoe in Magaluf (for Kids & Adults alike). I was concerned that this shw was over hyped (we paid 70 euros per adult for coach travel & show including meal and unlimited drinks with Cava) Hoever I would not have missed it for the world - it is a truly amazing show and loved by all in our party from 7-67 years. No wonder it has been packing them in for 20 years!
Cons
Rooms are cramped if you have more than 2 in them as we did - but after all the room is only for sleeping in - if you are enjoying your holiday there is no need to linger in there.
Some of the evening entertainment wasn't great (though there were a couple of tribute acts and a comedy magician who were very good) Bingo every night but never lasted more than 15 mins
Air con was occasionally on the blink, but not often
Would recommend this to families unless you are the burger & chips variety - if you don't love your food (I mean in a variety way rather than volume) you will feel ripped off

" 50/50 "
Submitted By: joel0808
just got back from continental park this afternoon. after deciding 2 buk a late deal we couldnt gt in 2 our usual choice the jupiter we came across this hotel and the reviews were pretty gud so we buked. overall the hotel is gud the entertainment staff r amazing they work 10 hours a day and dont get paid (there dutch and on work experience great english tho) and there shows r so much beta than the poeple thomsons get in. also kids club staff r great.
there r a couple of things that could b improved on like no refreshments at all available between 12am n 8am. not even a glass of water. the bar staff r freindly but they kick u from around the at 5.30 they just grap ur things n plonk them on the tables and then again at midnight which wasnt always a bad thing wen on a family holiday. ur not allowed 2 put ur towels on the sun beds n leave them the hotel staff walk around checkin n take unattened towles to reception n u cant get anywhere near the pool till 9am. the food is so so the majority was fine but meats were very fatty n u dont get much of a choice. alcudia isnot 20 mins walk its more like 45 but its a nice walk down the beach or a short taxi ride that costs about 6 euros.
i no its sounds like were moanin but there just little things that niggle at u.
the staff r helpful n friendly the hotel is clean n pretty modern. overall we had a gud time n would mayb consider returnin

" Absolutely Fantastic Family Holiday "
Submitted By: goynsy
We have just returned from 14 nights at the continental park. on reading the reviews before going i must admit i was a little concerned, however, myself, my husband and our 16 year old son went and we all had a great time.
THE HOTEL:- was great. It is an extremely clean and modern hotel with very friendly staff. The hotel is cleaned all through the day from very early in the morning. As an early riser with a pool view i used to watch the lads cleaning the stage and pool areas and they were very very thorough!
THE ROOMS:- were absolutely fine! though some people were moaning that they were small my opinion is that they were just right. If your going to be living in your hotel room why go on holiday??? The cleaning staff did a cracking job. We had clean sheets and towels every day and you could choose whether or not to have your room made up by just hanging a door hanger outside saying yes or no. we chose to have ours made up every day and they never let us down. they are also very pleasant and willing to help with anything.
THE FOOD:- I was concerned also about the food reviews i'd read ie: pork pork and pork! What a load of rubbish. Every day for breakfast there was a choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurts, full cooked breakfast, toast, rolls, croissants. For lunch you could choose between eating in the main dining hall or at the snack bar near the pool. in the dining hall you would find soup, rolls, fresh salad, meat, fish, veg, potatoes or chips and then a huge selection of deserts including fresh fruits, cakes, ice cream, cheesecakes, hot pancakes. at the snack bars you would find chips, fish, burgers, sausage, rolls, salad and cheeses. there is also an ice cream machine should you want a pudding!!
With regard to drinks the variety was amazing. at each meal and whenever you wanted you could choose between several different teas and coffees. (tip: the packet with breakfast tea on it tastes very much like our own british tea). Also there were several pops, different juices, milk, slush puppies, water, wine, lager....and so on.
THE POOL AREA:- was always clean and tidy. The staff at Continental Park have a policy that you are not allowed through to the pool area until 9 am. This prevents people getting up at 4 am to claim sunbeds! Brilliant idea!
ENTERTAINMENT:- was different every night and is spot on for the kids up to probably the age of 12. although my son enjoyed the entertainment he was obviously too old to get involved and i do feel that maybe the hotel could cater for the older teenager ie 15, 16, 17 year olds.
LOCATION:- was great. Literally a 5 min walk to the gorgeous alcudia beach, which i might add is spotlessly clean and very safe. it was just lovely. The shops are just around the corner and go all down the main road strip.
CIGARETTES AND TOBACCO:- You can bring back 3200 cigarettes (16 sleeves) and 60 pouches of tobacco per person. REMEMBER THO, that you cannot buy cigarettes on the plane either going out or coming home.
POSITIVES:- Overall a cracking family hotel and a really lovely resort. A family would really enjoy a stay at the Continental Park. WE DID!
NEGATIVES:- If i were to criticise anything it would be that there are no kettles in the rooms so i'd advise you to take a travel one with you. We are early risers and had to wait until the dining room openend at 8am for a drink. (The hotel reception staff however let us nip in around 6ish if they'd opened early for guests leaving as they provide a cold breakfast).
The snack bar floor gets very very slippy with people walking in and out for food and drink from the pool area so be very careful!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS (were going back next year so see you there)!!!

" one of the best hotels yet "
Submitted By: acer
we visited this hotel in aug 2008,we arrived at 10:30pm to find that the restraunt was closed and there was no food left in the snack bar.At first we thought it was going to be as bad as the reviews,but after a good nights sleep in a very clean room.we decided to venture down to the dinning room, thinking all we was going to get would be chips.we were not dissapointed there was bacon egg beans toast cold ham cheese cerial and yoghurts.as much as you wanted to eat,the eggs were freshly cooked and the food was nice and hot.The waitresses were very quick at taking the plates away,but were very polite.the dinning room was spotless and always full.The beach is only 5 min walk and is very nice.did not care much to the entertainment more for kids not much for adults.lovely pool cleaned daily,you have to be up early to get a sunbed and then there wasnt enough.the bar staff are very polite.will be booking again.
Advice: to watch out for men with scratch cards/cider 5 euros.
Activities: mini market near the beach,alcudia market.peddlos on the beach/

" Just absolutely fabulous "
Submitted By: diamandpinkx
When i booked this holiday it was literally a last minute deal and had no idea what it was going to be like but when we arrived i was pleasently surprised it was a lovely hotel with decent size rooms. We went all inclusive and the food was lovely despite it was quite repetitive. The pool was a fabulous size and just the right temperature! there wasnt many sun beds and had to get up at 8.00 to get some as the place was quite busy. the evening entertainment was ok but we normally walked a 20 minute walk to the city alucdia which was more lively. Theres clubs,bars,resturants and shops to keep you entertained. Theres one bar i would like to recommend if you like kareoke its called the peach pit which is just great fun and we went there almost every night! i would reccomend this hotel and would go again.
Advice: Alcudias fun and has lots to do and see.
Activities: Peach pit for kareoke and a drink and was spoilt for choice with resturants.

" wouldnever go back "
Submitted By: corona
after reading a few bad reveiws on this hotel, me my partner and 4 year old little girl went for a 7 night stay with open minds, the hotel itself is very nice and very clean, its just in a quiet place of alcudia with not much to do at all, it got quite boring on day 4 and we eventually could not wait to get home, the food isnt very good at all not much variety very tasteless and myself and daughter lived on chips for 7 days. A number of people complained about the air con when i was there as it comes on in middle of night for half hour and a few people had come out in rashes, a few people including myself also complained about the thomson rep as he was useless and told a few people incorrect info, but dont worry he has been moved as of today to a more challanging hotel?????????? the kids club is great the 3 girls that run it are fab and the 2 entertainers are very very good with children and are full of energy my daughter did not want to leave just because of them!!!! overall we enjoyed are stay but would almost defo not go back there.

Submitted By: hayleymay1993
When my dad booked this holiday for our family, I was a bit apprehensive... I'm not really a 3 star person but I loved it. The hotel had a great food selection and snacks all day which was nice. Plus the rooms were clean and tidy (although I did clean it when I got there anyway! it didnt need it though) The only downside was that the entertainment was a little bit too far away... but when you get there The Peach Pit Karaoke Bar is great! We went there every night!! I had a great time and would definatley go back... i had more fun here than I have had on other holidays
Advice: The Peach Pit, Alcudia ROCKS
Activities: i went on a pedalo ... that was fun :) PEACH PIT

" As we regularly stay in 4* hotels and... "
Submitted By: Mrs N Dale
As we regularly stay in 4* hotels and having read the reviews on here, I was panicking at the thought of going to this hotel. I needn't to.
The plus sides of the hotel are it is extremely clean, there is a vast array of food at breakfast, lunch and dinner and the all inclusive basis for unlimited drinks, ice-creams and snacks were excellent. All the staff were professional and helped you to no end. There were cleaners constantly cleaning around the hotel and rooms were cleaned daily.
However, what I did notice with other guests has put me off attending this hotel again. Some guests did not respect the hotel or others. On several occasions during our week stay, there were spilt drinks left on the floor and on the carpets, and people making excessive noise/laughing/talking extemely late which, as a family hotel, was really annoying when trying to keep a 3 year old asleep. Yes, you are there to have a good time - but there was no need to make the noise that we experienced or to leave the mess that they did!! The other down-side was the scraping of the chairs from cleaners/staff in the bar last thing at night (midnight) and first thing in the morning (7am) when you are on the first floor, we heard every chair scraped so no lie-ins.
The beach is extremely close and is excellent!!

Submitted By: Mrs Lesley Parker
We went as a family of four with children aged 5yrs and 7 years to the continental park
We had alovely holiday and nothing was to much trouble for the staff. rooms too small and bunk beds were to high we had them took down which was safe but no room left.
Food was good with lots of choice we enjoyed a very healthy menu.
Drinks were self service and though not top wine was drinkable.
Entertainment was very repetative and really needs improving but if you been busy all day you are ready for bed at 11.30pm some shows good others terrible
Kids clubs excellent and the children were safe within the complex around the pool and play areas. Beach nearby and really lovely shallow sea.
sun beds a pain with people resrving them and not being around to use them.
I found staff and the rep helpful . The air conditioning was terrible it stopped when it wanted and often took ages to repair.This was one of the best holidays we had as a family very relaxing would recommend a family holiday here.

" Arrived back from this hotel... "
Submitted By: Mr R Summers
Arrived back from this hotel yesterday, the hotel is spotless with rooms cleaned every day. All food in the restaurant is hot and is replaced even with only 15 mins left of serving. All finished plates are cleared within minutes of finishing (no dirty plates left lying about, and never saw a dirty table left for longer than a couple of minutes).
This hotel is ideal for families as the kids entertainment is excellent throughout the day with a kids mini disco every night, but if you do not like children this hotel is not for you as this hotel is full of them.
The night entertainment is avarge with a few good acts, but could be improved.
Overall, we had a fantastic time with this last minute booking.

" Terrible hotel - the rooms are dirty... "
Submitted By: Mrs T M
Terrible hotel - the rooms are dirty they also smell dirty, Bed clothing stained and torn. Bathroom dirty had to clean it myself. Put up bed for children this fell apart every night, hotel staff would not change it. This in my opinion was a health and safety risk. I feel this is dangerous hotel and would not feel comfortable taking children.
Overall the hotel is dirty
Food not good.
Management staff rude and do not take concerns raised seriously
The resort is nice but I strongly suggest avoiding this hotel.

The rooms were alright, but there were only 2 of us in each room, others did complain about crowding when 3 or more in a room. Sleepless nights were common, noises included loud snoring through paper thin walls, television until early hours of the morning and to top it all scrapping of chairs across the tiled floors (Question, how many times in 1 night can a chair be dragged across a floor?, Answer, in the Hotel Continental, as many as they liked.)
The hotel was not Brit friendly especially the dining/cleaning staff. No one smiled or made you feel welcome. The guest entertainment was poor, they were average acts, but what dissapointed us most was that as the acts finished at around 10.45pm the bar staff started cleaning up and expected you to leave. The bar/drinks should have been available until 12.00pm but they made you feel as you should leave early. The entertainment team tried their best, but their games etc only worked with audience participation. Unfortunately only the British were willing to join in. So all in all the entertainment went like this, kids disco, Bingo (every night) and a mediocre act every other night,
The location of the hotel was great if you were into visiting Spar shops, one on every corner and a few dotted in between for good measure. Where were the bars and swinging nightlife as promised in the brochure? Absolutely nothing to do of an evening, except a walk along the beach which was ok, clean and only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
All in all we didn't feel that we were made welcome and able to enjoy the holiday as we had in previous years. Very poor value for money, 3*+ no, 2* maybe when feeling generous. This holiday cost us alot of money and we ended up with a poor budget hotel.
Would we go back - I don't think so, would we recommend this hotel - only to our worst enemies. Sorry if you have already booked for next year - it's not too late to cancel.
