    this hotel is ok if you want the equivalent of magalluf but full of germans instead of brits and i mean full of off their head germans . i really could not recommend this resort to anyone ( unless they're germans who want to get drunk all day and night !!!!)

    and these pictures don't truly reflect the nightmare

    Hi Hammy,
    Whilst agrreing with most you said,the young lad wanted a couple of nights break,not much within his budget ,if he could of gone for 7 nights,there would have been a lot more choice.
    Playa de Palma is a nice beach,having now read some mixed reviews on The Odina,maybe it was a bit hasty,but then he seemed in a huury!!.
    Very difficult to give someone something ,when they dont Know where they want.
    He could have Paris 3* B&B for £310,but then thats full of Frenchies,lol.
    The intentions were to give him some ideas.Point took on Board.
    Cheers
    Happy Hols
