All of the plans from our KimKim specialist Coraima worked out great and were as expected. For the Mallorca portion of our trip, we elected to stay in the Alcudia area at a non-KimKim property as opposed to our specialists recommendation of the Palma area. While we will never know how a stay in Palma would have been, there were some negatives to our pick of an all-inclusive resort in Alcudia. The Alcudia area is beautiful and we had a memorable time there but The resort was jam packed and getting Beach or pool seating accommodations was difficult and costly. We elected a breakfast only plan and found that getting taxis was quite difficult when we wanted to dine outside of our walking distance area.

It was difficult and a hassle to get a desirable pool or beach chair. Or any pool or beach chair for that matter. We ultimately decided to pay additional for seating. Taxi service in the area is poor due to a limited number of cabs. One night we had to cancel a dinner reservation because we weren’t going to get there in time due to the wait for a taxi. There is probably a better choice for a family of four including two teenagers during the high summer season.

The sites are truly magnificent and interesting. With two teenagers in tow and it being our first day of the trip, we found that the length of the excursion was challenging. For the purpose of vacation time management it makes sense to do these two location visits back to back. However, adding a meal time between the two locations would provide a welcome rest and cool down period. Although it would increase the total time of the excursion.

Hi Kenneth! Thank you so much for sharing your kind and thoughtful review of your experience with us at kimkim. It was great meeting you and working with you throughout the planning process 😊 with summer being peak season, Alcudia comes with busier crowds, but for good reason — it's such a beautiful region! I appreciate you sharing the details about your chosen location, but I'm happy your family still enjoyed your time together. Hopefully, you're already looking forward to your next international trip together. I look forward to seeing you at kimkim again in the future!
