Condes De Alcudia Hotel Reviews
" Fab time had by all !!! "
Submitted By: Lynnee
There was three of us on hols, me 36 my daughter 4 and my mother 65. We were away for 11 nights and everything was as hoped, clean, friendly staff and lovely weather which helped no end!! Only down side was we had opted for a "low floor" on our booking sheet but were placed on the ninth (and top) floor of the hotel which with a 4 year old in tow meant had to use the lifts almost every trip up and down. Except for that thoroughly enjoyed all, evening entertainment was quite good, daughter loved the dancing and made friends with some of the other children on their hols. Food was brill, plently of choice and lucky my daughter loves salad so that was eaten for lunch and dinner!! The staff were all very friendly and made a great fuss of the children in the restaurant. There was a downside that you had to have the snacks in the restaurant and couldn't take them out of there but that's a small price to pay I think.
We ended up being moved down to the first floor after approx five days as both my daughter and mother seemed to be getting nose bleeds, don't think it was the height as much as the heat but staff happy to accomodate us moving rooms halfway through holiday.
Would definately go back and have looked into it already !!

Advice: It's got a fab beach, definately child friendly and not too expensive.
Activities: Mostly we walked along the seafront daily and visited the marina and local market which was huge.

" Not Bad "
Submitted By: dennis55
The hotel is clean, as are the rooms which unfortunately on the small size, just adequate for 2 persons. The rooms are cleaned daily though with towels and bedding changed as required. The staff are friendly, polite, and helpful.
A couple of things though about this hotel are that the lifts are small, no more than 4 people without luggage, and it can be noisy at night with people coming back to the hotel in the early hours.
Food is nice but can be limited in variety at the evening meal, with chicken on the menu nearly every night although there is a variety of potatoes every night, not just chips.
The Hotel is ideally situated for the beach which is 1 minutes walk down the road. The beach is sandy, clean and the water is shallow for a few metres. The Marina is about 3 minutes walk from the hotel, don't forget to take some bread to feed the fish though!
There is entertainment everynight in the hotel which is different everynight, but is preceded by bingo.
All in all, not a bad hotel but the size of the rooms may not be to everyone's taste.

" over veiw "
Submitted By: sonyed
I stayed at this hotel September 08 and enjoyed the stay and decided to go back this year. We arrived on the 01/05/09 the staff work very hard and try there best to help you enjoy your stay. the main reason for returning back is its location to the beach and the good value, the lifts are to small and the pool area is small for the size of the hotel but having the beach close by makes up for this. The entertainment is better than my last visit in september 08,there was six girls evicted from the hotel for there bad behavior and another male warned for his behavior there was a number of guests that had no respect for others staying in the hotel and the manners poor it was expected for evening meal to ware trousers and smart dress as stated on the notice on entering the restaurant, The hotel managment should enforce this rule has a lot of guests did make an effort to look smart. Over all i would use this hotel in the future a long as hotel managment get to grips with some of the guest that will visit the hotel during the 09 season has i do feel that going on the all inclusive deals is bringing in the booze binge eliment in has it is cheaper than going the bars with high cost of the euro as this hotel will not be the only hotel to bring in this booze binge client and ruin the holiday for the majority.

" Hotel Condes de Alcudia "
Submitted By: dahlia119
This was the last week of the season so everything was closing down,the staff were still very enthusiastic.We had a room on the top floor over looking the old town and the hills.the room was small but big enough for 2 people,the bathroom was only 5ft by 4ft with a shower 2ft square.It was quite an effort to shower without a flood.The water pipes made a drumming noise from 6.30 12.30am,so get drunk before you sleep or go to bed later.The food was OK with the emphasis on fish veal and chicken,proper scrambled eggs for breakfast not runny.Got vegetarian selection and kid meals.Evaning entertainment was good with acts brought in,Temtations and Brasil nightwere good,the waiters don't want to know you when all inclusive but the bars not far and pretty quick.all in all a friendly hotel Iwould use again.

" Just arrived back from Condes de... "
Submitted By: Mr R Sharp
Just arrived back from Condes de Alcudia, and had one of the friendliest holidays ever. I will definately be going back.
I would agree with the other reviews that the showers and lifts are too small and the cleaners are very loud early in the morning, but apart from that it was a brilliant hotel.
The food was nice but after a couple of days got quite repetitive. The entertainment was fun and all staff and entertainers were very friendly.
It's only a 2min walk to the beach and harbour which are very clean and nice. The nightlife was good, especially if you would be willing to pay 4euro for a taxi to the centre.
Overall, a good holiday worth every penny, and I would reccommend the Condes to anybody.

" Me30 and my fiance21 just arrived... "
Submitted By: Mr G Freeman
Me30 and my fiance21 just arrived back from condes de alcudia.
there is 9 floors at this hotel, and be WARNED the lifts are tiny (4people max) make sure you request a room with a bath, (that way you will have a shower too) if your unlucky enough just to get a room with just a shower, your gonna be in for a shock, the showers are REALLY SMALL, you will get water everywhere.
the pool is very clean and life gaurd on duty 10 til 6pm (very small pool for the size of the hotel)
If your all inclusive drinks are available at the pool bar BUT food isn't.
The food was terrible, (breakfast was the best meal of the day) your 3 meals you have a day are buffet style, and it gets very repetative (esp when all they have to offer is stewed chicken, veal, etc) i found the kids selection to be the best, and the salads were impressive.
if you get hungry in btween meal times, it says snacks are available (snacks = food left over from previous meal) nothing was cooked fresh for snacks. coffee and tea are only available in the buffet restaurant for breakfast ONLY.
the restaurant and bar is NO SMOKING but you can smoke in the corridoors to your room. (crazy i know) you can smoke in ya rooms tho.
entertainment is not for young people quiz starts at 20.30, Bingo tickets go on sale at 21.15 and the BINGO starts at 21.30 EVERY NIGHT. then at 22.00 there is a show (tribute to the Temptations is quite good) then after the show there is background music till midnight (they call this the disco) then at midnight the bar closes and the music stops
the FREE drinks are good (can get drunk very easily)
The rooms get cleaned everyday (this starts at 8.30 am) and the cleaners are very noisey they drag the beds across the floor and this make the most annoying noise in the world. The rooms are very clean and tidy (once again make sure you get a room with a bath and shower, NOT just a shower)
the nearby beach is lovely, a 3 minute stroll. very clean. The night life isnt great but for 4 Euros you can get a taxi in to town, to bars such as linekers and cheers, these are open til 4am (very handy)
if you want a sunbed on the beach it cost 4.50 Euros (take a towel) lol
checkout time is 12 (midday) so if you have got a late flight you will have to request a late check out this will cost you, but dont get ripped off (27 euros until 6pm I got)
if your half bored you can go all inclusive for 14 euros a day (worth doing just 4 the free drinks)average age of the guests in the hotel was about 75 there was 8 young people (18 to 30) and we all hooked up fro BINGO and free drinks every night.

" this was our first visit to alcudia... "
Submitted By: Mr C Kemp
this was our first visit to alcudia and it won't be our last. the hotel was spotless and the choice and quality of food excellent. it was in close proximity of the beautiful beach and shops with friendly staff. the choice of bars and restaurants was infinite and not rowdy. there was plenty to do ranging from parasailing, boat trips, snorkelling or if you like it, shopping. i wouldn't recommend it to 18 to 30s but for families and couples it's ideal. overall we had a cracking holiday.

" I have just got back from a week's... "
Submitted By: Ms L Glynn
I have just got back from a week's holiday in this hotel with my daughter. I found the hotel to be clean and the staff to be courteous. Although the swimming pool is not the largest, it has to be said that there was a guard on duty and the children could be seen at all times.
I especially liked the chance that if you wanted to upgrade to All Inclusive you could .. but you had to do it for the week and not on a day by day basis - as when you are doing trips you lose out.
The location was fantastic, close to the beach and only a 6 euro taxi fare to Bellvue which is the slightly more livelier area of Alcudia.
I am already looking to go back again next year and to stay at the same hotel.

" We have just got back (20.07.08) from... "
Submitted By: Mrs L Sippitts
We have just got back (20.07.08) from a fantastic week staying in this hotel. It is our 3rd visit to Alcudia in 12 months and by far the best hotel we have stayed in. The room was a good size for 3 adults and very very clean. We decided to upgraded to the "all inclusive" option after arriving at a cost of 13 euros per day per adult (5 euros for kids). We definately saved a lot of euros doing this especially with the drinks ! The staff were all very friendly and helpful and always had a smile on their faces. When we enquired about booking a daytrip they phoned and booked it all for us within minutes and also did the same when it came to taxis. The entertainment was also very good and covered all ages. Food was lovely and very tasty with a good choice every day. I had read many reviews before booking this hotel and decided to go despite reading some poor reviews - I'm so glad I didnt take any notice of them !!! I agree that the lifts were small but this was no problem for us. I also agree that the pool is small for the size of the hotel but we never struggled to find any sunbeds or swim. Who needs a large pool when the beautiful beach is only 2 mins walk away ! We will definately be visiting this hotel again in the future.

" Accommodation
Overall hotel was... "
Accommodation
Overall hotel was fantastic. The room was spotless and was usual hotel size. Bathroom was always clean and the maids were lovely. Towels and bed linen was changed everyday if you needed it to be. View from balcony was fantastic as we were on the seventh floor and on a clear day you could see right across the beach.
Reception was open 24hours a day. Seating outside is for the smokers and there was an outside stage but it wasnt used while we were there.
Main downside to the hotel is the size of the lifts. If you have a child in a buggy your not likely to get your husband in as well. We managed to squeeze in the lift (just) with 2 of us and 2cases. Dont really have to wait to long for a lift and we were there during the kids school holidays as well.
Food
Food was basic 3star food. There was always something to chose from and 1 in 3 nights there was a chef carving meat with gravy to go ontop. Veal was a very popular choice. f your vegetarian there was always chips, salads and pastas to chose from. Typical spainish deserts there was always some unidentifiable blamonge if a differnent colour everyday but I still managed to eat it every day. Breakfasts were lovely with bacon, sausages beans and nice soft eggs if you got there at a good time. Also cheeses and cooked meats to choose from. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are available from a machine and also there is a juice machine. Loads of different breads to choose from and a toaster.
Only downfall is that you cannot take food out of the restaurant and signs outside state that if your caught removing food from the restaraunt that you will be charged for it, but that didnt stop us from making sandwiches and sneaking them out for our journey home :)
The snack bar was in the restaraunt and consisted of chips being brought out every hour, beef burger left on a hot tray and hot dogs. Fresh food was there until around 11oclock at night which is great if your peckish on a night time. There is an outside snack bar that we think may be opened during the busier seasons. Drinks were great on a nightime with plenty to choose from. Bar staff were very efficient and most of them (except the older head bartender) had a smile on there face. Didnt have a problem with getting more that a few drinks at a time and found it quite funny when we asked for a bit of everything in a glass for a 21st birthday cocktail. Drinks in the resturant were serve yourself but you often had to hunt around for a glass.
If you are going half board at the hotel be warned the drinks are quite expensive but you can upgrade at the bar to all inclusive for around 15euro a day. I think vodka and coke was around 3.50 so if your having more than say 3 of these and your having soft drinks,wine or lager with your meals you will save some money.
Pool
The pool is very clean and standard size. Great for children as there is a small pool attatched to the main pool (serperated by a metal railing and also a baby pool away from the large pool. Very shallow and great for saftey. Lifeguard also on duty all day. Pool area for sunbeds isnt the biggest but plenty of sunbeds if you dont mind sitting in the shade. The pool bar is nice and also plenty of seats out of the sun.
Both of us were turning 21 and had a fantastic time. The entertainers are really great and are none stop all day and night. They work there bums off trying to get people to take part in the day activities and when there not doing this there rehersing for the night time shows. Often having shows with the audience joining in they had me up dancing in a grease style skirt and leather jacket. They have a mini disco for the kids and are always dressing up.
I wouldnt say it was a younger crowd at the hotel as there wer many older guests. Being good girls we didnt have a problem with being told off but the lads that we met while we were there wer on there 3rd and final warning about causing noise so the staff dont tolerate any bad behaviour.
Only problem being you do get street sellers coming into the hotel grounds (outside seating area) during the night but if you just say no to them they go away politley. Very easy to barter with them and we got a few silly bargains from 10euro down to 2 euros.
Nightlife
If you do like the nightlife though the bar closes at 12 prompt and just across the pool on the left is the drunken duck. A fantastic little bar with an irish theme and decent music. Thatll basically stay open until you stop buying drinks. Head into alcudia new town which is a long walk or about 6euro in a taxi. Head towards linekers bar, cheers, goodfellas or the canny lad. All great english bars and good music.
Resort
Shops literally on every side of the hotel. Plenty of souvenier shops and plenty of places to get you tax free booze. Unfortunatley there arent any big supermarkets but there are plenty of "spar" type shops. The beach was lovely and the sea was sparkling. The sea goes out for a long way without getting deep so is perfect for young children. The sand is golden and stretches around the bay for a long way so plenty of spaces. Sunbeds are available to rent for the day for around 4euro but you could quite simply buy a lilo and have that all holiday. The hotel is kind of in the middle of everything. If you go right out of the hotel you head towards the more busier area of alcudia. There are alot more shops and alot more bars. If you head left out of the hotel you head into the port with some really lovely little shops perfect for buying prezzies for people back home. If you head behind the hotel you walk towards alcudia old town which is photo central with a gorgeous castle still in tact and lovely surroundings.
Trips
Would highly recommend the markets. Alcudia town market is a 30min walk out the back of the hotel. But you can also get the bus for around 1.20Euro.
Inca market is full of leather goods and if you buy the trip from a tourist shop or a rep your probably going to pay around 18Euros but yet again the bus is only around 2.20Euros. Inca itself is massive, but really hard to find somewhere nice to eat so Id reccomend eating a big breakfast.
We also visited the western water park which is in magaluf. Bit of a long journey but definatley worth it. The trip from a shop or rep costs around 36euros. We made our own way there and it cost us round about the same. But we got the bus which meant we had no time limit to be out of the park, had no stops at other hotels, and we got the bus to palma and then to magaluf which meant after being to the waterpark we could have a walk around palma and have a nice meal.
We heard bad reviews on the tour of alcudia trip. Two men that we met there had booked a trip everyday of there stay.
So to end this essay of a review I would highly recommend the condes, and im looking forward to heading back next year if possible.
Overall hotel was fantastic. The room was spotless and was usual hotel size. Bathroom was always clean and the maids were lovely. Towels and bed linen was changed everyday if you needed it to be.

Thatll basically stay open until you stop buying drinks. Head into alcudia new town which is a long walk or about 6euro in a taxi. Head towards linekers bar, cheers, goodfellas or the canny lad. All great english bars and good music.
Resort
Shops literally on every side of the hotel. Plenty of souvenier shops and plenty of places to get you tax free booze. Unfortunatley there arent any big supermarkets but there are plenty of "spar" type shops. The beach was lovely and the sea was sparkling. The sea goes out for a long way without getting deep so is perfect for young children. The sand is golden and stretches around the bay for a long way so plenty of spaces. Sunbeds are available to rent for the day for around 4euro but you could quite simply buy a lilo and have that all holiday. The hotel is kind of in the middle of everything. If you go right out of the hotel you head towards the more busier area of alcudia. There are alot more shops and alot more bars. If you head left out of the hotel you head into the port with some really lovely little shops perfect for buying prezzies for people back home. If you head behind the hotel you walk towards alcudia old town which is photo central with a gorgeous castle still in tact and lovely surroundings.
Trips
Would highly recommend the markets. Alcudia town market is a 30min walk out the back of the hotel. But you can also get the bus for around 1.20Euro.
Inca market is full of leather goods and if you buy the trip from a tourist shop or a rep your probably going to pay around 18Euros but yet again the bus is only around 2.20Euros. Inca itself is massive, but really hard to find somewhere nice to eat so Id reccomend eating a big breakfast.
We also visited the western water park which is in magaluf. Bit of a long journey but definatley worth it. The trip from a shop or rep costs around 36euros. We made our own way there and it cost us round about the same. But we got the bus which meant we had no time limit to be out of the park, had no stops at other hotels, and we got the bus to palma and then to magaluf which meant after being to the waterpark we could have a walk around palma and have a nice meal.
We heard bad reviews on the tour of alcudia trip. Two men that we met there had booked a trip everyday of there stay.
So to end this essay of a review I would highly recommend the condes, and im looking forward to heading back next year if possible.

" Read lots of reviews before going on... "

Read lots of reviews before going on holiday some good some bad so didn`t know what to expect was plesantly surprised . Our room was on the 4th floor good pool view, ( pool is small and cold ) although the hotel is not beachfront we had a sea view. Room not the biggest I`ve stayed in but always clean and linen changed regular during stay. Food in restaurant usual 3star although I am a very fussy eater their was always something to suit everyone. Their are only 2 very very small lifts in the hotel and although no problem when we were staying most probably during peak dates they would definately cause a problem. All in all myself and husband had a very good holiday and had nothing bad to say about the hotel and would consider staying their again if visiting Alcudia as it is in a very good location.

We had booked half board but after a few days we paid up & went 'the whole hog' for all inclusive. For us the food was brilliant, a huge range to choose from at all times, I'm not too sure if families with young children would agree. The hotel is perfectly positioned, being a few minutes stroll from the beautiful beach & the main promenade.
After our evening meal we would walk from one end of the beach to the other then arrive back at the hotel just after the bingo had finished, we don’t go much on bingo! Other entertainment followed the bingo & some of it was good but some definitely not & all was finished by 11pm.
All the staff we came in to contact with were very polite & helpful & the cleanliness of the hotel was excellent.
We would certainly recommend the Condes de Alcudia.

on arrival i was told my room wasnt ready and i'd have to stay in a hotel next door (i was not ammused) but got upgraded to all inclusive for the trouble
when i got my room the next day it was on the 9th floor right next to the fire exit stairs and the patio door lock was broken, 10 mins after i had reported it, it was fixed! and only got charged for a week use of the safety deposit box!
the pool was small but loads of room round about it, lifeguard there all day and staff very friendly.
as a single female travelling on her own i can say i felt totally safe in the hotel and the town
the entertainment team, wayne, sara and marco were outstanding, sara and waynes shows were briliant and they compimented each other with their singing.
outside entertainment 3 nights a week and different quizes and stuff every night
bar staff were lovely and friendly
heavy rain though for a couple of days and being on the 9th floor it kinda leaks
the hotel is in an excellent location, literally 2 seconds away from beach and shops perfect for anyone wanting to relax and chill out
im a fussy eater but there was always something i could eat althought they could experiment a bit more with there potatoes as chips every night gets boring once a week they had the chef out carving freshly roasted meat and a delicious cheese table.
i'd read some bad reviews about this hotel before i went but i have to say although i had a few hitches at the start the staff went out of their way to fix it
the toilet i have to say though was tiny i couldnt believe how small it was i practically had to sit on the toilet and stick a body part in the shower and to wash my hair i had to have 3 towels on the floor but it was comical if nothing else.
i'd definetly recommend this hotel for all ages and once again i'd like to praise the entertainments team for their hard work into making sure everyone had a brilliant holiday
