Weather : not very hot ,but mostly sunny ,just not enough to use the pool at the villa ,it was end of season so to be expected

Holiday : fanatstic - we hired a villa from james villas at can picafort ,called 'can pedro' ,rented a car and had lots of great days out - forget magaluf . this island is stunningly beautiful you will find yourself saying 'wow' once an hour . get up in the mountains on the north coast road or visit porta pollensa ,or the streets ,beach and cathedral of palma ,the marina at porta nous with its quayside cafes/restaurants. the new aquarium in palma is a delight . dont miss out on going to pollensa ,it is so scenic it will take your breath away. we are going back in june this year to catch the better weather hopefully .the villa has its own fenced grounds with fig trees ,palms,an orange grove ,oh its wonderful. this year we will take the wooden train from soller and lots of other things we didnt cover last time . eating out is a must ,theres some great restaurants in can picafort - well everywhere ,just avoid the rubbishy tapas bars which are mallorcas 'fast food' outlets unless you have a particular passion for it it can be a gamble on quality .its not a cheap place to visit but its not heaving with 'kiss me quick' holiday makers ,the shopping in palma is amazing ,all olde worlde back alleys and cobbles ,loverly sandstone buildings ,delightful garden squares, a fabulous beach and prom - check it out for yourself . so much nicer than mainland spain ,renting a car is essential and you can go anywhere on the island in an hour on very good roads ,take your sat nav

Places Recommended : just go with the flow ,caves ,beaches ,the mountains and the resorts and cities are just incredible

Weather : The weather was fantastic during August last year. Not too hot and there was a lovely breeze from the sea to keep us cool. Forgot to mention the perfect blue sky throughout our 2 week stay!

Holiday : Had a very nice time, the people are very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in a great hotel called Hospes Maricel, just outside Magaluf. It was fantastically decorated to modern standards and the staff were very helpful.

It was great to go touring the beaches and shops through the day then return to a lovely hotel and chill out by the infinity pool accompanied by a cocktail or two while the kids were being entertained elsewhere.

Places Recommended : My family and I only really ventured in and around Magaluf but we did go on an island tour for a day and would highly recommend visiting Palma, the capital city.
