Family fun!:
The Lake Placid apartment is well situated for easy access to many different venues which provide entertainment for all the family - mums and dads included! Just 5min walk away is the hydropark, with water slides and rides for a great way to spend the day, or afternoon. Also very close, is a track for go-cart enthusiasts. For evening entertainment, the family fun pubs such as Cheers, or Woody Woodpeckers, are also only a 5 min. stroll away. There is a huge variety of restaurants - including Spanish, English, Chinese, Indian, Italian and Scandinavian cuisine, within easy walking distance (5 -10 min), so you can enjoy a wine or 3 without having to worry about driving home. The beautiful beach of Alcudia, as mentioned, is only a 10 - 15 min. easy stroll, and also includes activities such as paddle boats, banana boat rides, parachuting ( by boat), beach volleyball, windsurf -- or just simply building sandcastles! And to tour the town, a 4 wheel bicycle cart for all to enjoy!
Surrounding area:
Lake Placid apartments - as in name, as in ambience. A residential apartment complex, quiet and relaxed, with a lovely lake setting. Enjoy the sun and view on the terrace, take a cooling dip in the large communal pool, relax on the lawn with a book. You will have the advantage of being close to all the tourist facilities, without having to fight for a sunbed, and meals will be at your own leisure. The Bellevue tourist complex is just a 5 minute walk away, with all its entertainment, as is the ' Golden Mile' with a big choice of shops, restaurants and bars. The main port area with the boat marina and large pedestrian area is perfect for an evening stroll, and a meal at one of the many restaurants, or tapas bar - and of course a ' vino tinto' - and watch the world go by.
There is a regular bus service which will take you to the historic old town, with its 800 year old Roman walls and stone facades. Enjoy a browse in the shops, or stop at a cafe to take in the charming atmosphere
Further afield:
The same bus that takes you to the old town, also goes to the neighbouring resort towns of Port Pollensa ( a real treat) to the west, or Ca´n Picafort, to the east - with its popular beach promenade.
At the edge of the Alcudia resort is the Albufera Natural Park ( wetlands) - a must for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
There is a market day every day somewhere on the island. Alcudia is Sunday and Tuesday morning in the old town; Port Pollensa on Wednesday, Ca´n Picafort on Friday, Sunday morning in Pollensa old town, and the big, big market in Inca on Thursday morning. All can be reached by bus. Palma, the vibrant capital of the island, is not to be missed either, and there are several buses going there every day.
It is not necessary to rent a car when you are staying at this apartment, but if you do, a drive into the mountains on the west side of the island will take you into a different world - take a whole day to explore!
Come and enjoy all that Mallorca has to offer!
