Yes, the buses are excellent value, much better than at home - for example, only Euro 1.50 from Soller down to the Port. Agree also on a hire car - unless you're touring the island, there's absolutely no need for one and it would be a nuisance in some of these small towns with their very narrow streets.
It's certainly better than losing your contact lenses in the sea then having to drive across the mountains from Pollensa to Soller on unlit winding roads in pitch dark with only prescription sunglasses to help you see. My god, that was a trip!
If you find a hotel you like it might be worth booking straight through with them and then pay for flights separately through Skyscanner, we find it cheaper, cuts out the middle man as such.
Monarch do all sorts to Majorca whether your looking for the full package or just flights or whatever . They bought out Cosmos so you can do it all through them. I'm off to Cala Dor next Thursday to the place mentioned above. Can't blooming wait
Ha, ha the thought did go through my head when I posted it!
I think the Soller station would have a particular allure for Millwall supporters, as the station has a couple of small, free museums dedicated to the Spanish artists Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso. Unfortunately, the latter is essentially made of ceramics, which could be tempting fate.
Went there about 5 years ago and it's a very clean resort. Predominantly Germans in paguera unlike other resorts on the island not that it bothered me. A good selection of bars and restaurants and overall i would recommend it
Anyone with experience of the weather mid too late April in Majorca, i.e. Warm enough for poolside/kids swimming etc?
It can still be a bit hit and miss mid to late April mate. Outside chance of rain but the temperatures will not go much above 19/20c unless you're lucky enough to hit a good warm spell. Nights will still be quite cool. Should still get plenty of sun though but be aware, the water (pools and sea) has not had a lot of time to warm up so will still be chilly.
If you're able to, in my opinion the Canaries are probably a better bet in April for a pool/beach holiday with kids.

The reason for the price difference is all to do with the weather. Trust me unless you have a heated pool April is a no go regarding swimming

Majorca is really only a summer destination - as you say, canaries in April. The length of the flight will also have a major impact on price.
Looking to go to Mallorca early June. Want somewhere quiet/scenic (as my wife is 5 months pregnant!), not worried about nightlife as such, but in reach of a nice town/harbour would be good.

Didn't know there was such a trip, so thanks to those posting info about it.
Now this year I used Icelolly.com
Any other cheap sites worth looking at?
Why add in another party?
Makes sense, Transfers Cab ?

The above are a good cab service who we have used, and Hoppa transfers are also reliable, normally discount codes for Hoppa as well.
Thanks for that

went minorca at easter a few years back diving it was sunny but the wind was freezing cold and the sea was freezing as well
Any recommendations gratefully received!
It will tick more boxes
I'd always recommend Soller/Port de Soller in Mallorca for a bit of everything.
