    what time of day are you arriving? the bus service from Palma up to Alcudia is very good usually...
  • I've used the hoppa bus a few times, Ive found them to be very good & pick up going back to be very punctual. I'd certainly use them again.:T
  • They're usually alright. The agent the generally use in Mallorca are known for long queues, and buses waiting for other flights to come in, but hey ho, they're cheap.

    Some other options would be:

    https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/transfers
    https://www.shuttledirect.com
    https://www.shuttlemallorca.com

    Or if you felt like a private transfer wasn't too much more:

  • i used them a few years ago when i went to turkey.
    i got picked up by one of the reps in a caddy.
    still got charged the same amount.
    credit card bill. £0.00
    overdraft £0.00
    Help from the state £0.00

    After being unhappy with Holiday Taxies in May, I used Resorthoppa in August for the same Journey (Barcelona - Salou). I wasn't happy as I ended up with a worse experience and travelled on the same bus and with the same driver as in May.

    I now realised that both companies use the same company in Barcelona (from2travel). So next time I book those transfers I'm not going to be so concerned with who I book with but who they actually use to provide the transfers.

    Was happy using resort hoppa in tenerife a fortnight ago. But as it goes all around the houses so to speak, next time I'm jumping in a taxi! Even the people who had paid extra for the mini bus with limited stops were on the same bus as us.

    yes i guess the transfer times are a pain especially when all you really want to do is get to your resort. our flight arrives i think at about 00.10 . so its a late one. i probably will use resorthoppa as they have a promotion for 15% off when booked on a mobile.
    has anyone got any other promotional codes for other transfer companys? thanks for all the advice guys much appreciated :beer:

    depends whther you're coming or going. Arrival there for going, departure for coming home.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • All companies mean flight times when they ask for times, not time you want to leave hotel. They'll then work out what time to pick you up.
