Prinsotel La Dorada

We have just come back from a fantastic 2 week break at the Prinsotel. I had my mother in law with us and my 2 children so we were looking for somewhere that would suit us all.
We booked our flights with Monarch and our Hotel and transfers with Relaxabroad and saved quite a bit of money compared to brochure prices. Especially as the 1st week was a school holiday.
It was a good 45 minute transfer to the Hotel but there is a new road just opened so it might be a bit quicker now. Our apartment was on the third block by the pool and at ground level which was a good location. The 1 bed apartment was very spacious with 2 single beds in the bedroom and 2 L shaped sofa beds in the lounge area. There was a small kitchenette and had a separate bath and large shower. There was also an additional wash basin located outside of the bathroom which came in very handy.
We were on Half Board and the food was excellent as were the staff especially those in the kids club.
There were a number of pools and an indoor one too. The beach was just across the road with a number of eateries.
If you want somewhere a bit quieter than Alcudia but still with all the amenities then this is the place for you. We would definitely go back in a heart beat.

My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel, everything about it was very nice indeed including the location of this hotel.
The apartment room was very clean & spacious and very well equipped with an excellent kitchen and bathroom with bath and shower, bedroom with king size bed and lounge all with plenty of storage space for all our belongings.
The pool was good although it was very busy every day.
We enjoyed going to the gorgeous beach just that was just around the corner along with the excellent restaurants and bars which were very welcoming and not very loud and noisy there was also a bank close by for us to get our money from the cash machine and a couple of shops for us to buy our food and drinks from.
We also had an excellent Thomas Cook Rep named Justin who made sure our holiday was enjoyable.
There were lost of excursions we went on too such as Pirates in Magalluf, a boat trip which took us to all the lovely small Cala's or "coves" along the coast etc.
Also the weather was very hot and sunny when we went in June 2005.
Mallorca is very easy to get to from where we live as we only had to jump on a plane from Southampton and we were there in 1.5 hours.
We will definitely be going again next year to this hotel.

from Eastleigh near Southampton UK.

I went with my parents and my little bro Mart(13). When we arrived it was nighttime and from the outside the place looked very nice with it all lit up.
Inside the reception staff were all very pleasant and all spoke good English and were very attentive at all times.
The apartment was very clean and although the kitchen was small it was adequate for what we needed, and the freezer came in very handy for cooling drinks! The bathroom was the best thing I’ve ever seen!
It had 2 showers and was massive (there also NEVER seemed a shortage of hot water). The balcony only really seated 2/3 ppl but we never sat out in it because of the mosquito farm along the road, which was a shame.
The best thing about the room was definitely the air con. The pool was excellent suitable for all ages and was great for cooling down in. As per usual the regular sign on the door of "NO securing sunbeds" was ignored and to get a good spot you had to be up at 7am!!!!
The animation team at the pool worked incredibly hard during the day and at night and there shows were well worth watching. Activities for everyone! The food at local restaurants were great however we did have to travel down the road some nights but this was no problem and our car came in handy.
I would recommend a car, as the journey from the airport by bus is quite long, getting the car at the airport was also very easy through Europa! THUMBS UP!!! The Slow Boat Chinese was excellent and great value definitely recommend it. Hope you find this useful and enjoy your holiday to Prinsotel LaDorada.

Excellent Swimming Pool, usual sunbed hoggers, whose towels are out by 8.30am but don’t appear all day. That said it was still possible to get sunbed at any point in the day.
The Swimming Pool was massive and never crowded.
Rooms were OK, we did back on to the swamp (nature reserve!!), which presented problem with mosquitoes, so didn’t open patio, as this also turns off air-con. Did ask to change rooms from Pool side room, asked 3 times during stay and always no rooms free.
Playa De Muro, cheap restaurants close to hotel, not much character (all concrete blocks). Beach 3 minutes from hotel, over main road. Excellent beach, clean, always able to find space for beach towel, water clean and warm.
Would consider going back just for the hotel pool, or would consider a beach side (rather than swamp side) hotel.

The apartment complex was as good as I hoped it would be. It’s a real family place with a good mix of nationalities. The grounds are lovely and the pool is really a collection of smaller pools of various depths. There are always plenty of sunbeds so no need to get up at the crack of dawn to book one!!
There’s even an indoor pool, Jacuzzi and fitness suite.
Entertainment ranged from fair to good and included a kiddies disco every night. Everything closed down about midnight so the place was quiet after that.
Any staff we had dealings with were friendly and helpful and most spoke some English.
There’s a selection of restaurants and shops close to the apartments. However, if you want to go into Alcudia don’t rely on the buses unless you go very early in the morning. It’s almost impossible to get on one, they’re so busy.
The beach is an easy walk from the apartments and is very clean and not too busy. The water is quite rough and so is great for inflatable, body boards etc but maybe not so suitable for young children.
All in all we had a very good holiday here and would probably come back again.

Peaceful holiday, lovely food and lots of it. Rooms are well presented and even if you go self-catering you have all you need to do an evening meal.
The hotel is situated across the road to the beach but within easy walking distance. The entertainment is good and you get a lot of feedback from the entertainers.
