Hi Guys. Pretty much no probs getting here, plane pushed back 5 mins late, really quick flight, just 1 hr 51 mins, cases came off quick.
Plane was a Boeing 767, we had various options of TV radio etc on the individual TV screen, but there was also games, so a few rounds of who wants to be a millionaire, followed by suduko, captain was saying fasten belts we're starting our descent!
40 min wait for coach to fill up, but we was first drop
Here by 11 am Spanish time, and the room was ready.
First impressions good.
View from the room/balcony:







Temps gorgeous, 28C / 82 F
After lunch spent the afternoon on the beach.
More soon

No I haven't.But been to the new one in Pto Pollensa, and the well-established in Palma and Pto de Andraitx as well as Palma Nova.I don't mind paying over the odds for good service,no hassle and top class bogs.Wouldn't pay it if not on holiday.
