Opinions and reviews
Natasha, 34 years old, Samara:
“Last year I had a wonderful holiday in the Balearic Islands. We went together with a friend, just to be at sea, in beautiful places and a civilized country, where there is both service and scenery. In addition to the views, what I remember is typical - very fresh seafood in abundance. We tried everything at La Parada del Mar in Palma, together with wine for dinner they paid no more than 80 euros, and there were also baked goods (everywhere) and - where without it. I want to go back to Mallorca every October.”

Valera from Voronezh:
“I couldn’t go to the sea with my family in the summer, so we decided to fly to Mallorca in October 2015, although many dissuaded us, like it was not the season and the weather was bad. We were in Alcudia, Viva Tropic hotel, 4 stars. Everything is great! The children did not get out of the sea - the water there is shallow and clean White sand. It was +27 almost the whole week, it rained once, there was a fresh breeze - it was generally cool, it was easy to breathe at night.”
See what the Viva Tropic Hotel looks like inside:

“Last October, my husband and I vacationed in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca, the Delfin Mar hotel, it seems that not 4, but all 5*. We rented a car, it was a bit expensive - 45 euros per day, but we got a good ride! We visited almost everywhere, but in the mountains and in caves - in Ams, in Art and at the Dragons - wild beauty! We managed to combine tourism and civilized recreation for reasonable money.”

October. With a family
Spain, Mallorca island
It took us a long time to decide whether or not to go to Mallorca. Our friends scared us that October is a cold month for this resort. But my wife’s great desire to go to Mallorca left no choice. Having arrived at the place, we realized that warm sweaters would serve us well here. When we arrived at the airport, it was raining with gusts of wind. The only thing that was warming me was the thought that we had saved on vouchers.
So, Mallorca! The hope of wearing swimming trunks and a swimsuit disappeared on its own. All that remains is to devote your vacation to excursions. We went to the beach just to get our feet wet. I’m not a freezing person, but the water in the sea was clearly for walruses. There were few tourists, all the beaches were empty. The bulk of the tourists we saw were people of retirement age. The hotel was practically empty. No one bothered us with noise while we slept. A good half of the entertainment clubs and cafes were already closed, but excursions helped the situation and gave us wonderful impressions of Mallorca.
October. With a family
Spain, Mallorca island
We went to Mallorca in October with my wife and child. Tourism agents tried to dissuade us for a long time, saying that the weather at this time did not bode well, but this did not bother us at all, taking into account the one and a half times lower price.
So we arrived in Mallorca. October made itself felt from the first minutes of our stay; it was not in vain that we took warm clothes with us. It seemed that we could forget about a beach holiday, but on the third day of our vacation, the sunshine pleased us warm weather, took a dip in the ocean once. Entering, by the way, already makes you feel like an extreme sports enthusiast, but at least you got plenty of sunbathing. Once we forgot to take sunscreen to the beach, the consequences in the evening forced us to buy sunscreen. And most of the time we went on excursions. The guide carefully thought out all the routes for visiting the sights. We had a great time, we are planning to return to Mallorca next year, but in the summer.
