hotel s'Olivera, Peguera, Majorca. 14-21 February 2006
My husband and I wanted to get away for a week for some sunshine and relaxation.
We chose Peguera because it was described as quiet and good for older people.
It was easy to get to from the airport, because there were zillions of taxis waiting and we arrived after a drive of about 45minutes.
The hotel was nice and recently refurbished, lots of light and airy rooms although not an obviously large hotel. However everything was catered towards German visitors. All information was in German, the entertainment was speaking German (so we were told, so we did not bother to go and see). The food was not very good, vegetables were cooked for hours and all tasted the same.The salads were good and the breakfasts also.
The town of Peguera was disappointing. We expected an old small town with some hotels and shops and restaurants. There was no small town, just hotels, souvenir shops and some nicer shops, bars, restaurants all along the one street called the Boulevar.
We enjoyed the beach and the cafes at the sea front, the weather was lovely and the sky mostly blue.
We went on a trip over the mountains to La Colabra ( very scary in a big bus over hairpins!) from where we went on a boat to Puerto de Seller: a wonderful experience. Seller was a lovely old town and the port absolutely beautiful.
Then we returned to Palma on an old wooden train through the countryside which was lovely. A wonderful trip!!!
Majorca is well worth visiting but we would not go to Peguera again.
