When me and Ellie go on holiday I almost always travel on a tight budget. I would rather spend a little less and have more holidays and more spending money. For the most part, hotels are simply somewhere to lay your head after a day exploring or laying by the pool. This means we usually stay in smaller, family run hotels that are slightly out of town. When booking our Mallorca holiday it was different as the Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia was the best deal.
About Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia
The Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia is a 3 star, huge resort / complex. It has 17 hotel blocks, 8 swimming pools, 6 restaurants and 7 bars. The hotel blocks are typically Spanish white buildings surrounded by lots of palm trees, grass and plants.
It has a day and night entertainment package for children and adults. There are lots of extras you can do too like tennis and go karting and there is a children's play area. The hotel resort all sits on a lake.
The hotel is 800 metres from the beach, 5 kilometres from the town centre and 3 kilometres to the port.
Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia - The hotel rooms
Our room is in the Sirena II complex which is right beside the lake. The room is basic but very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. It is a really bright and airy room which I always love.
The twin room has two double beds (well singles pushed together) which is a nice surprise.
There are huge floor to ceiling wardrobes full of coat hangers. No trying to squeeze a weeks worth of outfits on to 4 hangers here - yey! I have major wardrobe envy and would love this much space at home. There is also a desk with shelves and a TV. We didn't actually try the tv so I can't tell you what channels are available or if you need to pay for it.
And finally in the room there is a balcony over looking the lake. It is small but there is plenty of room for a table and chairs and space for just me and Ellie.The view from the balcony is spectacular through the day and looks even more stunning as the sun sets.
Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia - Our review
I was a bit skeptical about going to a huge holiday resort. Both me and Ellie like to spend our holidays either quietly laying by the pool or out of the hotel exploring whichever country we are in. Neither of us are "joining in with the entertainment" people. But we both had an amazing time at Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia. Our stay was in the school Easter holidays so the hotel was busy but it will probably be busier the summer months.
The hotel, rooms and restaurants and bars are all really clean. Some parts could probably do with a lick of paint or modernising but nothing worth especially commenting on.
Our all inclusive food was really good and we didn't once have to eat out as there was nothing we liked. There is sometimes a queue to get in to the restaurant, especially for breakfast, but it moves quickly. I don't drink alcohol when I'm away with Ellie but there is a good choice of soft drinks and hot drinks available with your all inclusive wrist band. There isn't any decaffinated coffee or tea, which is a bit awkward if you're allergic to caffeine like me. The hot chocolate from the machines is especially nice though.
If we had a pool day we actually laid by the liveliest pool. Although we didn't join in with the entertainment it gave us both something to watch and giggle at. The entertainment staff did come around to see if we were joining in, but weren't pushy when we said no. I did go join the yoga class a few times. Doing yoga early morning, under palm trees and in the sun is such a lovely experience.
The best part of Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia for me is the setting. The view over the lake really is stunning, especially in the Sirena complex right next to it. I really love the little rivers that come from the lake through the hotel. Walking over the bridges to various parts of the complex is a super pretty walk.
The hotel is really close to the beach, which is definitely worth visiting. The sand is SO white. As the hotel away from the main town the beach here is really quiet too.
It is 5km to the main resort of Alcudia. We didn't have time to head into the resort so I'm not sure what it is like there. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops around the hotel though if you are not staying all inclusive.
As a single female travelling alone with my daughter feeling "safe" is really important on holiday. I always felt incredibly comfortable and safe at Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia and walking around Alcudia too.
I would definitely head back to the Bellevue Club Hotel in Alcudia if I was visiting Mallorca again. It makes a great base and is a clean and comfortable hotel with lots to do. It is perfect for single parents, families and even couples.
