Alua Linda Mallorca Hotel 

Hotel itself is lovely, newly refurbished so fresh modern spotlessly clean and smelt lovely as you walked in. The new relax pool was nice with ample sunbeds never a problem finding one, main pool was ok had a lifeguard and music and relaxed pool entertainment, a lovely gesture was the offer of fruit kebabs and pots of ice cream which were bought around curtosy of the hotel.Bar prices were reasonable for a hotel, relax pool had a window to the bar, main one you had to go inside for.Rooms were modern and had a kettle so I bought coffee sachets from supermarket across road ,maybe lacked abit on storage space but aircon worked perfectly well and was definitely needed as was very hot when we stayed.beds were large and very comfy! I really enjoyed the breakfast, had a very big choice plus chefs to cook omelettes etc to order, did get quite busy in there so maybe chose your time to visit, emptied out the later it got.Theres a bus stop literally outside the main entrance across the road which we took into Palma, on return we got one back to Arenal and walked the whole way back along the promenade., although there is a little tourist train you can get if you want to save on the blisters.Arenal was more lively than can pastilla, so would probably suit younger guests better , we found it to be mainly restaurants and no bars with singers or acts and closed around midnight, on the Monday we arrived we struggled to find anywhere showing football for my partner , however next day we found a bar called the Manchester hub which was situated down a quite road with KFC on the corner, this place got busy and showed all sports and had music if that’s what your after. There’s 2 beaches to chose from, you can either come out hotel and turn left cross the road and keeping going down 2 roads and your come to a quite calm bay shape beach, or if you go left and follow road you have the main beach which is very big with ample sunbeds and water sports, we were charged 30euro for 2 sunbeds and umbrella which I thought was abit steep. All in all we had a nice time, what sold it to me was the short distance from airport to hotel , but probably not the nicest place I’ve been to in Majorca, but hotel was lovely .
