Majorca, Spain
|
 |
| Without a shadow of a doubt,
Majorca is one of tourism’s miracles. And the miracle is
that despite being one of the world’s most popular destinations,
it is still one of the most beautiful, unspoilt, underrated
places you are ever likely to visit. Once you get away from
the Bay of Palma, spectacular in itself but very busy, you enter
another world. A world of majestic mountains to the north and
west, lovely beaches in the south and east, idyllic country
hamlets dotted all over the island and pretty little fishing
villages like Porto Petro, Port d’Andratx and Port de Soller.
And then there’s Palma, with its magnificent cathedral
and Moorish palace, its quaint, pedestrianised shopping quarter,
its attractive yacht marina and harbourfront (the famous “Paseo
Maritimo”) and, lest we forget, centuries of fascinating
history, culture, art, sophisticated nightlife and superb cuisine.
It really is a great island to explore as everything is within
easy reach and public transport is excellent (try the train
ride from Palma to Soller – fabulous scenery and a memorable
day out). It’s also worth hiring a car for a day or two
– the roads are very good and well signposted and the whole
island can be ‘discovered’ in just a few days. |
Hotel Roc Illetas Playa ****
|
| Picturesque Illetas is
one of Majorca’s most established resorts and it’s
easy to see why.The area is full of pine trees and flowers which
give the resort a peaceful, natural ambience and, combined with
its summer villas and a selection of shops, bars and restaurants,
some 500m from our hotel, it all adds up to a great holiday
location.There’s a regular bus service to the centre of
Palma which takes around 20 mins and the bus stop is close to
our hotel, the Roc Illetas Playa. This comfortable, spacious
4 star hotel (with rooms and apartments in 3 separate buildings)
is located just 500m from the resort centre, 200m from the small
beach and less than 10 kms from Palma. It’s set in attractive
gardens and enjoys wonderful sea views from its panoramic terraces.
It also boasts a swimming pool with stunning sea views, sun
terraces, sunbeds and umbrellas and is air-conditioned throughout.
There’s a restaurant, bar, lounge and snack-bar whilst
all the air-conditioned single bedrooms have a private sh/wc
and telephone.Twins or doubles for sole use also have a balcony
or terrace (£8 per day supplement).An excellent hotel
in a lovely location, the Roc Illetas Playa is a great venue
for your holiday on this beautiful island. |
