Hello all
My bride to be and myself are looking for some advice about Majorca.
We've decided to have our honeymoon in majorca for 7 days in early July and after research have decided that it's either Cala D'or, Sa Coma, Puerto Pollensa or Ca'n Picafort we'd like to go to.
We're looking for a quiet beach resort which has tours, watersports, decent shops which we can go to when we're not sunbathing etc! We don't want to be in an all night party place because we've done that and are looking for other things now.
We're considering booking the Cala Esmeralda Hotel in Cala D'or, but wanted to know if theres anything better out there for us.
Also, could anyone tell us how long transfers take to the above places. We've arranged to book thru Thomsons, so have already paid for this, but final destination hasnt been sorted yet, long story! So how long to each destination please.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

                Hi, We love Cala Dor and the surrounding areas, the beaches are small coves of white sand and lovely blue waters, there is a lot of restaurants in and around the town with lots of shops to browse, then there is the marina with lots of qorgeous restaurants (very romantic setting) where you can watch all the yatchs coming and going weather you are having a morning coffee, lunch, dinner, it is my perfect holiday. There are lots of tours available to most places on the island and local buses that go to Palma regularly.Esmarelda is very pretty but is about a 10 to 15 min walk to the town cente. Hope this helps you decide. It is about 40 mins drive from the airport
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Of the resorts you have mentioned, I would choose Cala D'Or. Its the most upmarket and sophisticated, and its not too British. There are some lovely restaurants, particularly around the marina and in some of the nearby little resorts such as Porto Petro and Porto Colom. Almost anywhere should be relatively child free in early July, but if you wanted a totally child free hotel you could choose the Rocamarina, which is a Thompson Gold in Cala Egos, just near Cala D'Or. The Melia Cala Dor is also a hotel that gets great reviews - its not a 5 star but  apparently some people rate is as such. Sa Marina in Cala Dor is also a very nice hotel.
The area is surrounded by a number of small coves, which should be relatively peaceful in early July - some do get a bit crowded once the school holiday starts. If you want any further advice or have any other questions about the area you can PM me.
Puerto Pollensa would be my second choice from those on your list. I really adore Soller on the north of the island - its got an old town area and a port area, nestled between the sea and the mountains. I would also recommend that you investigate this area as it would be wonderful for a honeymoon, and a week would be just the ideal length of time to spend there. You can see more of the real Mallorca, and visit places such as Sa Calobra, Valldemossa and Deja if you plan to hire a car.

                Cala san vicente for me.Lovely beaches, great restaurants, good hotels. Hotel Niu is right on the beach, hotel molins bit more up market. If not csv then  puerto pollensa. Can get to most places from there good bus service, get a bus to pollensa town and climb the Calvari steps the view is fantastic. Having said all that we have never had a bad holiday in majorca and thats after 25 years!!
