FERGUS Club Europa

Just finishing a great week away at the hotel. I nearly cancelled after reading the reviews, so thought I'd post my own. The room was clean and spacious. Beds made up and a bottle of water every day (we stayed in a Magnus Style Suite). We were at the back of the hotel which was very quiet. Only downside was a window between the bedroom and the bathroom - through which the kids found it funny to watch others on the toilet.... I'm not sure why this is here? The Magnus pool area was great for the kids and didn't feel too busy when full. We used the slides in the Fergus pool for an hour or so most afternoons, which was a lot busier, so this was enough, however the kids loved them. You do need to be up early for sunbeds as we followed the rules the first day, and didn't get any. (FYI - No big floats in the pool allowed). Food was great - lots of choice and freshly made. The chefs and restaurant staff work really hard to keep things clean and stocked up. We found the Magnus side a lot quieter, but always found a table in the Fergus side, even at peak times. We sometimes ate at the snack bar for lunch, which was plenty. The entertainment staff work super hard, and the kids loved them! I think they'd pack Laura and Kiki in our suitcases if they could. The kids club worked really well to give the kids a break from the sun (and us a break too). The hotel is on a hill, but we barely noticed. It isn't a big climb as per a lot of the reviews. Location was lovely, with a 15-20 min walk to the beach or a shuttle from the hotel. The water at the beach is beautiful! Palma aquarium is also a great day trip. Check out was easy, as there is a luggage room, lockers and you can book the shower room. So we didn't have too many issues leaving late on the last day. Overall, it was busy, however we expected this in the school holidays. But the hotel was great, as were the staff, and we had a fabulous time! The only downside being some of the guests... We saw many examples of people forgetting manners with the staff, a lady shouting at a poor life guard because another child wasn't behaving (no hello or excuse me first), and people leaving their mess everywhere - there are plenty of bins! Manners and kindness cost nothing.
