Review title: "Great"
Travel date: August 2005
The Arcos Playa is truly great: The staff were friendly, helpful and always had a smile on their faces. The food was fun, especially as I am very fussy and the rooms were spacious and fairly cosy.

The Arcos Playa entertainment was good. However, I do believe the man who reads out the numbers during bingo, which is on every night, could a little bit happier. However that is really the only complaint.

The location is excellent. It's extremely close to the beach and various restaurants and just beside a bus stop.

The crème de la crème of the holiday really was the pirate show at Magaluf. It was simply spectacular. It is the must see of the holiday, and if you don't go, you have missed out. Although Magaluf is on the other side of the island, the coach arrives right outside your door, so there isn't any hassle if you have young children or elderly relatives with you.

The entertainment here is repetitive but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I enjoyed the bingo very much, but unfortunately that is the only thing I remember, b ar a horse racing game with dice. Random, but enjoyable for young children.

It's a very quaint area, so it's unlikely you'll hear any drunk youths about, which is good if you just after a relaxing break.

Shopping isn't a problem. Cala Millor is easily reachable via bus.

The pool is nice, if slightly cold, but the beach more than makes up for that with its warm turquoise waters. The Arcos Playa is well placed and easily accessible.

For a peaceful, enjoyable picturesque holiday, I think the Arcos Playa just about cuts it. And it neighbours with Sa Coma, which is a truly remarkable place.
