Before i start i'm fully prepared to admit my own stupidity in having even gone on this holiday.
we have just got back from a week in majorca in one of the more family orientated resorts,we had our main holiday earlier in the year and this was just a cheap and cheerful week to break up the school holidays a little.
Before we even took off we had to put up with youths swearing on the plane,badly behaved children climbing over seats and shouting and screaming whilst their parents remained seemingly oblivious.
Upon landing i realised benidorm is not a fictional tv comedy! I knew i wasnt going to get culture and the 'real' spain but did not expect to be in england still,surrounded by vicky polland and family.
I cant believe that people come to these places happily year after year as there were some 'normal' families there amongst the 'get here' brigade(if i had a pound for everytime i heard a parent shout this).
Before this holiday i hadnt been on a package holiday since 1996 and i can honestly say if i went again in the next 15 years it would be too bloody soon!

Sorry, haven't got time to read whole thread and just read the OP.

Oh my god, it wasn't to the Hotel Piscis by any chance was it? DP booked a quick 5 days away for us (without children). Didnt know he booked "The Bowels of the Earth." Lets just say he's no longer in charge of vacations!

As for Easyjet - never ever ever again!

Just remembered, it was the Hotel Piscis in Alcudia! The beech was lovely though but every now and again there was a whiff of bad eggs!

Bloodymary, I don't think the problem is AI in Majorca, I think it's the type/quality of AI you go for. Our AI in Majorca 2yrs ago was 5*; expensive but worth it. Not remotely tacky or full of badly behaved Brits. It really is a beautiful island with some stunning resorts and excellent quality hotels. Unfortunately people just equate it with Magaluf and PN in the south or the very tacky parts of Alcudia-though even around Alcudia you have some lovely parts.
