1. What is the cost of a taxi from Palma Airport to Alcudia?
Approximately 75 Euros for a 4 seater from the airport, 70 Euros for the return journey.
Approximately 95 Euros for a 6 seater from the airport, 90 Euros for the return journey.
For larger taxis there is a charge of 10 Euros per additional person over 6.
There is a supplement of 10 Euros after 9pm and on holidays, including Sundays.

2. How long is the journey from Palma Airport to Port D’Alcudia?
Approximately 45 - 50 minutes.

3. How long is the flight to Palma?
The flight from Heathrow or Gatwick is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. It is
approximately 30 minutes longer from the north of England or Scotland.

4. When can we have access to the apartment on the day of arrival?
Normally you cannot have access to the apartment until after 1pm local time. This is to
allow the cleaners to prepare it following the departure of the previous guests.

5. When do we have to vacate the apartment on our last day?
To allow time for the cleaners to prepare the apartment for the next guests you must vacate
it by 11am.

6. How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is about 200 metres away in Carrer de Estrella de Mar, opposite
Carabela but we don’t really recommend it. There are various mini markets nearby but for
value and service we prefer the old-fashioned Spar shop nearer the port, opposite the taxi
rank.  For a larger choice turn left out of the apartments and walk about 300metres to Eroski.

How do we collect the keys to the apartment?
If you have asked me to arrange a taxi to meet you at Palma airport the driver will have your
keys. If you are making your own way to Carabela I will post the keys to you before your departure.

8. Can we only book Saturday to Saturday?
I normally only take bookings Saturday to Saturday because otherwise I can end up with
“voids”. This particularly applies to the busiest periods (July, August and school half-terms).
During quieter periods I can sometimes help with different changeover days.

9. What is the full address of the apartments?
Apartamentos Carabela, Carretera de Arta 7, 07410, Port d’Alcudia, Mallorca
