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. 😊

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

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!

[@TheVigilant109]

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

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Me too - Álcudia was the first place I visited too in Mallorca mid 1980s. Changed a bit since tho !! Happy new year John !

[@philipbister964]

I absolutely love Alcudia, I've been visiting for over 20 years and have got 2 trips already booked.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Fabulous Philip!! Sounds like you’ve got your 2024 off to a great start !

[@cherylwilliams2605]

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

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hi Cheryl, that's really good to know! And 100% re. the plug in!

[@micheller9342]

What time of the year did you find mosquitos?

[@faithg9766]

The walk along the beach in Alcudia always looks amazing. Thanks for bringing us some sunshine.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I can’t wait to get back there looking out on the wind and the rain today 🇬🇧😂😂😂

[@kathrynhall9920]

That was a very comprehensive guide Alex and good to hear the pros and cons which holiday brochures often do not mention.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks so much Kathryn!

[@DavidCarberry-gw1cg]

My favourite place on the island. Can’t wait to be back in July! ✈️☀️

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Whoohooo ! I think the year is going to fly by !

[@jacekwasowski5117]

Booked for July/August as like last year :) amazing place ❤ Thanks for Your videos, it helps me a lot to choose Alcudia last year 😊

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

You’re very welcome ! Thanks so much for watching !

[@tommymoffat5633]

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

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

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!

[@amyenglish100]

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!

[@shirleyc2821]

Have to say it’s not my favourite area but love the old town. Yes and those 🦟

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Love the old town 🥰

[@micheller9342]

When do the mosquitos come around? What time of year

[@seansw3043]

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.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

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!

[@sammylou1420]

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

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hahaha I bet it’s you! You will both absolutely have a fab time !

[@cherylwilliams2605]

I love alcudia .. lots of shops restuarants and supermarket right on your doorstep

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Yes! Whereever you are in the resort the shops and restuarants are a stones through away!

[@SouthWestSundays]

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 🤗

I’m not surprised Robin - it’s a lovely hotel !

[@aprilclark3179]

Great video thank you Alex

[@PKOK72]

Aftersun with built in repellent worked well for me in October last year. Thank you for the video Alex.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Oh that's really good to know too!

[@PKOK72]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSunSure it was Boots own brand with the mosquito graphic on the bottle.

[@dianeleahy3345]

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.

[@ashleyb8891]

May I ask? What was the weather like in October? Thank you

[@andrewhaddon4327]

Will be visiting in July 2024 thanks for these tips and your other videos as well.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

You're welcome!

[@DerLandschaftsbauer]

Thank you so much for your Great videos! By far the best channel about Mallorca! Is there a ‚best time‘ for calm waters for snorkeling? In this video the water looks very calm and clear 👍🏼

[@normankyle7831]

Looking forward to our visit again in October, best part of the island.

[@rosieposie8695]

Been twice now it’s fab 🎉

[@sarahjane8949]

My favourite place 💯🤗

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

gorgeous. Think i'm going to get my passport, and visit. My kids would love it there.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I can pretty much guarantee they will love it! Make those memories!

[@GaryBuchan-ru3mb]

first time in alcuidia

[@kateangell9216]

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

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

That’s a shame Kate - maybe the south west isn’t so bad (Palmanova etc)

[@kateangell9216]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thank you I’ll check it out! :)

[@garyking5265]

Been to playa de muro Alcudia and I loved it because its a nice village which is quiet er than the town, I also went to cala Millor I think its called the year before and did not like it prefer Alcudia

[@MrsTaylor-cm4gs]

What hotel would you recommend. Looking for a 5 star hotel spa

[@deneml3836]

Please recommend some places to stay in Alcudia❤❤❤

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Check out my review of the BQ Delfin Azul.

[@Glyn-r]

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 🌞

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

😂😂😂 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 😂

[@Glyn-r]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun that's crazy Alex. Social media madness.

[@loesboonzaaijer3103]

Are there shops

[@johnhay1377]

Can you metal detector on the beach?? 🏖️ I’m from uk

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

That’s a good question! I used to see them on the beaches - but not recently - The tractors clean the main beaches so not sure how good a job they do.

[@dariuszciuleja1339]

[@kennyphillips6281]

Easy Alex, Alcudia v Caribbean ....no comparison...😂😂😂😂

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

😂 lol yes, OK, different in many ways but...

[@AudreyAllan-um4lg]

no matter what we tried the mozzies ate us alive last summer in Alcudia ,so back to can picafort for us again this year

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Oh I'm really sorry to hear that Audrey! The bonus of Can Pic is that it's a little breezier!

[@AudreyAllan-um4lg]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun hubby and i just love can picafort 😍

It’s because of all the sewage water. Lake and canals are all breeding grounds for blood suckers.

no fa falta que vengueu més, ja n'hi ha prou amb tants de guiris

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

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.
