Self catering in Majorca or Menorca for 5?

Question

Does anyone have any idea where on earth I can find an apartment for 2 adults and 3 kids? I can't believe I can't find anything and the travel agents just don't seem to be bothered looking

Answer 1

Ooh thats a difficult one if you've been searching via travel agents. On regular package holidays you are quite right, there is very little choice for a family of 5.

You need a 2 x bedroomed apt and if you book through the major operators, they'll charge you a huge supplement as kids don't count towards the occupancy.

You'd be better booking independantly.

Book a low cost flight and accomodation/transfers/car hire seperatley. That way you'll pay for the unit of accomodation as a whole and not per person with huge under occupancy supplements.

Do consider a hire car- Most private transfer/taxi companies are for a maximum of 4- if you hire a car it will be much more cost effective and you have the car for the full duration of the holiday- This means you don't have to worry so much about the location of the accomodation.

There are a couple of hotels in Majorca with rooms for a family of 5. The Canarios Park in Calas De Mallorca has a couple, and the Cala Romanei also does but they are pretty basic.

As for holiday apartments, there are a few 2 x bedroomed.

I am sure you'll find something and I wish you all the very best of luck.
