Also for those of you visiting Alcudia with their families and their small children, be aware that the taxis do not have as a rule to carry child seats, therefore children may have to sit on their parent's knee for the journey. If this is a cause for concern, we strongly recommend that you make arrangements for a pre-booked taxi to be waiting for you. Also have in mind that the transfer should take approximately 1.1/2 hours, however, at least one of the major tour operators is known to drop guests off at the nearby resort of Puerto Pollensa before making the short trip over to Alcudia, which is effectively adding another 45 minutes to the trip.
