3. How long is the flight to Palma?
The flight from Heathrow or Gatwick is approximately 2 hours. 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 midday.
6. How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is The Piccadilly, about 200 metres away in C/ de Estrella de Mar, opposite Carabela. We prefer the old-fashioned Spar shop nearer the port, opposite the taxi rank. Mercadona is a larger supermarket offering far more choice and better value. It is next to the petrol station at the Old Town end of C/ Pollentia, the road from the port area to the old town, the continuation of C/ De Teodor Canet. It has an underground car park.
7. 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
10. Is there an Internet Cafe in Port D’Alcudia?
There is an internet café in C/ Mariscos. They charge approx €2 for an hour and you can carry credit forward to use again. Turn left up C/ Coral before you reach the taxi rank then right into C/ Mariscos. The Mestizo Cafe in C/ Coral has free wi-fi for paying customers, with a relaxed and friendly ambience.
