We had a lovely time in Maria's family home! The pool area was amazing. The house is very cosy and fully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped, but there are not a lot of pots and pans to cook for a big family. The house and mostly the bedrooms upstairs get very warm during the hot summer days. There are lot's of fans available, but sleeping was still a bit uncomfortable. Bot other than that we had an amazing vacation. Communicating with Maria is wonderfull and she makes sure you have everything you need.
Mallorca itself is beautiful! So many amazing beaches and townes to visit. In Alaro please have dinner at Gallardo Restaurante Pizzeria. The most friendly staff and the best pizza I ever had.
Our favorite beach was Playa del Mago, it's a nudist beach but don't let that scare you off. People from all walks of life are welcome there. We had lunch at Ventuno Beach Club. Make sure you book a table as soon as you arrive at the beach. The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing.
We also had a great time at Port de Soller beach. Visit Patiki beach club when you are there. The old town of Soller is also so cosy and pretty. Avoid the restaurants on the central square, there are lots of amazing restaurants available in all the little alleys.
Also highly recommend to go to Palma for the afternoon/evening. Such a beautiful city. We had dinner at Hotel Cappuccino, in the courtyard. It was expensive, but lovely. Right nextdoor there was also a restaurant that looked really good, but the menu was not suitable for our kids. It was on Carrer de Colom, on a little square.
If you are looking to cool off a little bit, the FAN Mallorca Shopping mall was good for an afternoon of shopping and strolling around in the super big supermarket. We also went to the aquarium in Palma, it was quite expensive (80 euros with two kids and two adults), but it was airconditioned and the kids had a great time.
