The Magic of Majorca with Oli, Ayshea & Hayley

 The Magic of Majorca

 Pool days were blissfully relaxed, with swaying palm trees, refreshing cocktails, fruit skewers delivered by smiling staff, and plenty of laughter during aqua aerobics. Whether lounging on sunbeds, dipping feet into the pool, or wandering into town to explore shops and the seaside promenade, each day felt perfectly balanced between activity and relaxation.

One of the highlights of the week was our excursion to Palma. The journey itself was scenic, winding past olive groves and coastal views before delivering us into the heart of the city. We wandered cobbled streets, admired historic buildings, paused beneath a 600-year-old olive tree at Plaça de Cort, and enjoyed a delicious lunch in a bustling square. The Cathedral of Santa Maria stole the show — its towering gothic architecture and breathtaking interior leaving us all in awe.

                    

Beach day brought golden sands, sparkling seas, paddling, swimming, and plenty of laughter. A leisurely lunch at a seaside restaurant completed the picture, followed by more relaxation back at the hotel — including a particularly memorable moment when Scott was invited behind the bar to help make cocktails, much to everyone’s amusement.



Then came the day many of us had been waiting for: the boat trip. Cruising along the southwest coast with music playing and the breeze in our hair felt magical enough but it only got better. Dragonera Island offered rugged beauty and curious lizards, while a surprise dolphin sighting alongside the boat left us speechless. Swimming in crystal-clear waters, daring jumps from the deck, tapas lunches, and guitar-led singalongs turned the day into

As the week gently slowed, we made the most of resort life: archery sessions, more aqua aerobics, relaxed lunches, promenade shopping, and soaking up the sunshine. 

The evening entertainment continued to shine, from spectacular acrobatics to late-night dancing in town for those with energy to spare.That night, an Elvis tribute act had us dancing, laughing, and even joining the show, proving that holiday energy was still running high

Cyprus Sun with Steve, Michaela & John

    Cyprus Sun     Our hotel was fantastic! We all loved relaxing around the swimming pool or down the beach which was only a few meters away. In the evening we all enjoyed dinner on the terrace with stunning views. We went on the original open top red bus tour to the Turkish side of the island. We had a tour guide giving us a commentary on board about the sights we saw and the history leading up to the Turkish invasion in 1974. We toured the walled city of Famagusta and saw the ghost town left unoccupied since the war.  We spent our evening in town exploring the buzzing streets and listened to live music in fantastic bars. We also took part in friendly pool tournament. We took a boat trip along the coast where we explored the caves of Cape Greco and visited the Blue Lagoon where some of us swam in the beautiful clear water.  The hotel entertainment team was fabulous!  There was musi...

Attractions of Blackpool with Matt & Jackie

Image
 Attractions of Blackpool  Oh we do love to be besides the seaside and we couldn't wait to head up the infamous Blackpool Tower. The views along the coastline were spectacular.  We managed to step onto the famous Ballroom floor and watched some of the dancers glide gracefully around the room.  It was time to get up close and personal with all of our favourite celebs at Madame Tussauds. We couldn't believe how much they lifelike they were! There were Coronation Street legends and some pretty iconic pop stars for us meet. Next up was some of our sporting heroes. We couldn't resist a picture with Boris and of course King Charles. Our next stop was the Blackpool Dungeons! From the moment we entered we were greeted by the "Black Jester” and we could tell this place was not for the faint hearted. The characters and scenarios played out by the excellent actors were a reflection of Britain's brutal and often savage history. The final room had us all terrified as we...
