Thank you for your video. We stayed in Can Picafort early this month. We followed your advice to visit Alcudia beach and old town. The best travel advice😘 and love the beautiful alcudia beach❤️. Thank you and looking forward for your new video😊
I absolutely love Alcudia, I've been visiting for over 20 years and have got 2 trips already booked.
Fabulous Philip!! Sounds like you’ve got your 2024 off to a great start !
The walk along the beach in Alcudia always looks amazing. Thanks for bringing us some sunshine.
I can’t wait to get back there looking out on the wind and the rain today 🇬🇧😂😂😂
That was a very comprehensive guide Alex and good to hear the pros and cons which holiday brochures often do not mention.
Thanks so much Kathryn!
Great video thank you Alex
Absolutely love Alcudia! If you're a beach lover it would be hard to find a better one. The sea is so shallow.. great for children. Had many holidays there & normally stay in the port, which I love in the evening. Great information as usual. 😊
Yes, me too, it is a fab place and even for us Palma residents, it feels like a breakaway! Love the vibe here in the summer so much!!! I never take it for granted that it's a 45 min drive from home even though now it feels so far!
Phenomenal video Alex. What a start to 2024. This just made my night. Totally love Alcudia. I knew you would mention the (M) word. But as you have said protect yourself. And also the ayuntamiento are spraying to sort the problem out
Hahaha the "m" word, which I may have to title one of my future videos. I'm definitely going to get an update from what's being done! Let's see!
Great video Alex. Loads of useful information. Port d'Alcudia was the first place I stayed in Mallorca and while I prefer the quieter resort of Puerto Pollensa, Alcudia has a special place in my heart. Best wishes for 2024, John
Me too - Álcudia was the first place I visited too in Mallorca mid 1980s. Changed a bit since tho !! Happy new year John !
My favourite place on the island. Can’t wait to be back in July! ✈️☀️
Whoohooo ! I think the year is going to fly by !
Booked for July/August as like last year :) amazing place ❤ Thanks for Your videos, it helps me a lot to choose Alcudia last year 😊
You’re very welcome ! Thanks so much for watching !
Thanks for this great video Alex, we, as a family, have been following you since we arrived back from our October half term Jet 2 holiday to Puerto Pollensa, of which we all fell in love with, staying at the Cabot Hobby Hotel. We are interested in returning, but would like a similar feel as Pollensa and your review of Alcudia seems to fit all tastes but with the option of a more, but not to lively alternative! Thanks for the effort you put in, it truly is a beautiful place.
Thanks so much for watching!!! I really really appreciate it!! I'll hopefully have lots more great content for you on the run up to your holiday!
Have to say it’s not my favourite area but love the old town. Yes and those 🦟
Love the old town 🥰
For the mosquitoes i brought a plug in repeller for the room and sprayed jungle mozzie spray on .. i stayed at the stunning alcudia beach hotel self catering and since its modernisation is stunning gor a 3 star hotel.. 100% recommend this hotel
Hi Cheryl, that's really good to know! And 100% re. the plug in!
My favourite place 💯🤗
Will be visiting in July 2024 thanks for these tips and your other videos as well.
You're welcome!
Aftersun with built in repellent worked well for me in October last year. Thank you for the video Alex.
Oh that's really good to know too!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSunSure it was Boots own brand with the mosquito graphic on the bottle.
That has to be the best view of Alcudia on the jetty with the beach and sea in the background, it really does look like the Caribbean, but I guess you know that. I think it’s a great resort for families. I’m sure any Americans looking at this video with absolutely love it. Thanks Alex.
The Delfin Azul is our second home, we have everything nearby to whatever we want. awesome.
I’m not surprised Robin - it’s a lovely hotel !
We arrive for first time on the 13th may untill the 24th. Can’t wait
Don’t know who’s more excited me or my 4 year old 😊xx
Hahaha I bet it’s you! You will both absolutely have a fab time !
I love alcudia .. lots of shops restuarants and supermarket right on your doorstep
Yes! Whereever you are in the resort the shops and restuarants are a stones through away!
I loved my first experience of Alcudia beach and the old town last year. I definitely hope to return to that end of the island. The beaches are sublime. Thanks for sending us sunshine on a cold New Year’s Day 🤗
@@SouthWestSundays you’re welcome !
gorgeous. Think i'm going to get my passport, and visit. My kids would love it there.
I can pretty much guarantee they will love it! Make those memories!
We went to Santa ponsa in august and loved it, we want to come back to Majorca Easter hols but not sure Where abouts in Majorca and if the weather will be good or not!
first time in alcuidia
Good job Alex. A couple of cons though. No livestream yesterday and no mention of the red flags when jaws is about. As for mozzies, my god they taste good when they land in your soup 😂. Nice suntan you got there today 🌞
😂😂😂 don’t mention the sharks 🦈😂 The local paper gets column inches out of stories wanting to scare people every year including a shark attack in Egypt 😂
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun that's crazy Alex. Social media madness.
I love Alcudia but in October last year I got some really nasty bites which has made me wary of revisiting. Are there any places in Mallorca with less of a problem? X
That’s a shame Kate - maybe the south west isn’t so bad (Palmanova etc)
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thank you I’ll check it out! :)
Please recommend some places to stay in Alcudia❤❤❤
Check out my review of the BQ Delfin Azul.
Are there shops
Easy Alex, Alcudia v Caribbean ....no comparison...😂😂😂😂
😂 lol yes, OK, different in many ways but...
no matter what we tried the mozzies ate us alive last summer in Alcudia ,so back to can picafort for us again this year
Oh I'm really sorry to hear that Audrey! The bonus of Can Pic is that it's a little breezier!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun hubby and i just love can picafort 😍
no fa falta que vengueu més, ja n'hi ha prou amb tants de guiris
Si us plau, digueu-ho als mallorquins que tenen 6 mesos a l'any per guanyar prou diners per mantenir les seves famílies. Si doneu suport a l'illa i a la gent, segur que "acollireu els visitants" en lloc de referir-vos-hi de mala manera.
