    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!

    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

    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.

      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.

      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.
