Request a first-floor or lower-level apartment for a larger balcony with sunbeds, table and chairs, and a BBQ.
Guests like the generous apartment sizes, balconies and, in some cases, pleasant views over the pool. The close beach location is a major advantage, especially for a simple family self-catering break, and air conditioning, cleaners and sunbeds receive favourable mentions. Its smaller, apartment-style setup is part of the appeal for those seeking an unfussy base, though travellers expecting the broad facilities and services of a large full-service resort may find the offering more limited.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Apartamentos Olive Beach.
Request a first-floor or lower-level apartment for a larger balcony with sunbeds, table and chairs, and a BBQ.
Upgrade to a superior apartment for a larger terrace, sun loungers, and a BBQ or electric grill.
Choose a ground-floor apartment for more space, a butterfly garden or patio, greater privacy, and easier access without a lift.
Request a double or larger balcony if you want enough space for sun loungers.
Choose a poolside balcony for the best afternoon sun.
Book a standard apartment if balcony space is unimportant; it is otherwise just as good as a superior apartment.
Pre-order essential provisions if you expect to arrive late.
Request extra wardrobe hangers if you need more storage.
Hire beach towels for 3€ each with a €5 deposit per towel.
Keep the balcony door closed to prevent tiny ants from entering the apartment.
Ask whether the bathroom door has a lock before arrival.
Avoid apartment 10 because of the adjacent waterslide.
Request apartments 3 or 4 for balconies that receive sunshine throughout the day and overlook the pool.
Request a chair or seat in the wet room if you need accessible bathing facilities.
Avoid rooms near the fairly busy road if you are sensitive to traffic noise.
Request a quiet end apartment on the middle floor to avoid road noise.
Apartamentos Olive Beach is a small, family-run apartment resort with an easygoing, practical feel rather than a big-hotel bustle. Its 23 apartments were renovated in 2016, and the setup suits relaxed self-catering stays: a climate-controlled pool, sunbeds, balconies and the useful comforts of air conditioning in summer and central heating for cooler months.
The standout is its Port d’Alcudia position, just 50 metres from the beach. It is a particularly handy choice for families who want the sea close by without giving up apartment space, as well as couples looking for a straightforward Majorca base. Banana Club is among the nearby spots guests mention, while the beach is an easy short walk rather than an outing to plan around.
Guests tend to appreciate the roomy apartments, pool-facing views from some balconies and the welcome relief of reliable air conditioning. Cleaners and the availability of sunbeds also come up positively. This is best approached as a friendly, compact self-catering property, where the appeal lies in space, location and personal-scale management rather than extensive resort facilities.
