We have just stayed at Villa Bacares for a week & really enjoyed the stay. The villa is a perfect size for a large group (we were 11 adults &1 baby) The bedrooms have plenty of space & the communal areas inside & out are also big enough for a large group. We wanted to spend time together as a family so we didn’t mind the villa not being in the centre of town. You can walk to the old town within 15 minutes but you need to drive or get a taxi if you want to go to the beach or main town Alcudia. The old town is stunning.
There’s a lovely costal walk next to the villa & a children’s-playground with football / basketball pitch just further along the road from the villa.
The communication with the host prior to us arriving in Mallorca was excellent & the instructions for check in were perfect ( basically the key is left in a keybox at the villa gate).
We were told we could check in at 4pm but our flight was delayed so we arrived at the villa at 4.50pm. We were disappointed to see the cleaner leaving the property just as we arrived. Not sure what would’ve happened if we had been on time as there are no bars or restaurants near by for us to wait with our luggage. We had requested a cot & extra bed but these hadn’t been put up by the cleaner. We were happy to put these up ourselves but there was no bedding for the extra beds. Unfortunately the language barrier let us down with the communication as the host found it difficult to understand what I was requesting when I called him, but eventually at around 10pm the cleaner dropped off the extra bedding so problem was resolved.
Apart from this mishap the rest of the holiday was amazing & the villa was lovely.
I would recommend hiring a car as Lidl is a car journey away or using taxis. A taxi cost around €10 into Alcudia.
If you want to be in the middle of the hustle & bustle I’d say this villa is too far out for you.
