My Summer Vacation to Majorca
I travelled with my partner and his family (there were 18 of us in total) to the resort of Playa De Muro which is at the north end of the island near Alcudia and stayed in the EIX Club Lagotel, which is a 3 Star Plus rated resort, on an all-inclusive basis.
My first impressions of the hotel on the outside was that it was just another whitewashed apartment block however when you step into the massive modern reception area which is dotted with comfortable couches and friendly staff, you quickly realise that there is more to this hotel than it lets on.
We opted for a 1-bedroom apartment at the time of booking and I was so impressed with our accommodation, the apartment is large and spacious and modern as you can see from the attached photos. The bathroom has a massive walk in shower area which was just perfect after a hard days sunbathing! The rooms are serviced every single day by the amazing housekeeping team at the Lagotel. The one bed apartments also have a fridge, microwave, kettle, cooking hob and a cupboard full of gadgets, plates, cups, glasses and cutlery if you decide to go self-catering.
The bedrooms consist of two comfortable singles beds which are pushed together, there is plenty of storage for all your belongings as well. Your bedroom and living room lead onto a double balcony which overlooks the main entertainment and pool area. Your apartment is also air conditioned which was a blessing for us as the temperatures during our stay were round about 37 degrees each day!
The Lagotel has one main buffet style restaurant, you don’t have a massive selection of foods but what they do, they do extremely well. The food was tasty, and they do vary it day to day usually with a theme. The breakfasts were brilliant with a range of cooked breakfast goods, fresh fruits, yoghurts, pastries and breads. There are also 2 snack bars, one in each pool area so if you were hungry, you were never far away from a decent burger and chips!
The one thing I loved about the Lagotel was that they have a private adults-only pool area which is absolutely divine! A massive pool with water beds, a jacuzzi and massaging water jets and a beautiful little air-conditioned bar area serving refreshing cold ice slushies and cocktails. We spent a day here and it was absolute bliss!
We also spent a day down on the beach, the hotel runs a courtesy bus which runs every 25 mins, the journey is less than 5 minutes but given the heat it was a blessing! The beaches are amazing, golden sand and crystal-clear seas. There are plenty of nearby shops and restaurants as well should you decide to eat after sunbathing or need a cooling ice cream. There is a small pier on the beach and a few boat trips run from here which sail around the Island, one is a glass bottom boat which takes you on a 2 hour trip and allows you to jump off into the sea for a quick dip.
Majorca was never really somewhere that was on my list of places to travel but it is such a beautiful island with plenty to do and see and it caters for pretty much everyone, I will definitely be going back for round two.
