The short version: Stay. Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park is a four-star family resort on the south end of Alcudia beach, Mallorca, with exclusive gated access straight onto the sand, four named pools (and a fifth toddler pad that bumps you to five bodies of water), a properly fun set of themed water slides, an indoor heated pool that earns its keep outside peak summer, the best buffet food I had across four Mallorca properties that week, a beautiful plaza courtyard with rehomed olive trees and a colourful splash pad, and a Star Camp kids’ club with a large indoor space and two age groups. The room and bathroom were in good nick, which is not a given on this strip. Cons are real but minor: check-in had a moment of confusion (we’d come straight off another Iberostar Waves property with the wristband on), the BBQ grill bar was closed for the season, the bed could have been bigger, and the safe is paid extra (chain-wide Iberostar Waves practice). Visited 31 October to 1 November 2025 as a family, one-night stay.

A note on the one-night stay
This was the fourth property of a four-resort Mallorca trip and the only one-night stop on it. That changes the framing slightly. I had one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner cycle in the main buffet rather than five, the gym was untested, the gelateria was closed for the season, the BBQ grill bar was closed for the season, and the kids’ club was a quick drop-in rather than a real test across multiple days. The verdict that follows is honest about what I saw, and I’m calling out where I didn’t see enough to judge fairly. Everything that was open and operating was strong, which is why this lands as a confident stay despite the short stop.
First impressions and the plaza courtyard
Reception hits you with the signature smell you get at properly-run resorts, the kind that tells you somebody has thought about it. The space is well decorated, light fixtures that look like proper lights rather than afterthoughts, a small kids’ corner to one side, and a glass of Prosecco or Cava put in your hand on arrival. Nice touch. The main plaza courtyard sits just beyond, and it is a genuinely beautiful place to be. Flowers and rehomed olive trees give the space a rustic charm against the white backdrop of the buildings. Big palm trees, a little bug house, raised beds growing vegetables, an arcade with pool tables and air hockey, and a vibrant colourful splash pad that pulls kids in. You could pass a couple of hours here without realising. This is the kind of central space a four-star resort either has or doesn’t, and it earns the property a lot of goodwill.
The pools
Iberostar say there are four pools. On the ground, when you count distinct bodies of water, there are five. The main pool is unheated and curves around at one end into a shallower zone with steps at multiple points and seats built into the pool wall, so parents can stay in with younger kids without standing up the whole time. The shallow puddle pool sits next to it and is where the main themed slides land. A crab and other animal sculptures spit water out of their mouths over the puddle, which adds the kind of water movement and theming that kids latch onto immediately. There’s also a small slide pool with a shorter slide on it for younger guests, and a toddler pad with a tiny sliver of water just deep enough to splash in. Probably this is why Iberostar count four pools rather than five: the toddler pad reads as an extension of the main pool given how close together they are.
The pool that earned its keep on our visit was the indoor heated pool, which is novel on this stretch of coast in two ways at once: it’s inside, and it’s actively heated. We were here at the end of October and the kids loved it for exactly the reason you’d expect. Some children don’t like the cold edge of an outdoor pool, especially outside peak summer, and the indoor heated option solves that. I don’t know how much it gets used in July or August when the outdoor pools are right at the door, but for shoulder-season family bookings it’s a clear plus point.
Cross-property note for families researching this strip: heated pools are rare around Alcudia. Sister property Iberostar Waves Ciudad Blanca a short distance up the coast has no actively heated pool, and Club Mac next door is similar. If pool temperature matters to you outside July and August, Alcudia Park’s indoor heated pool is a real differentiator.
The beach
Beach access is the other reason you’d book this property. There’s an exclusive gated access down a few steps and you’re on the sand. The resort sits at the southern end of Alcudia beach, which means the sand is slightly thinner here than it is further north, and the famous Alcudia views opening up on both sides. On our visit a volleyball game was already running on the sand with adults and kids joining in, which is the kind of organic activity you get at a beachfront resort that’s doing things right. The water is calm Mediterranean, shallow well out from shore (we were twenty metres out and standing in two and a half feet of water), and easy for kids who want to splash without facing any waves. Florence and Bertie loved it, no caveats. The beach bar has tray service, so you can grab drinks and walk them down onto the sand yourself, which is a small detail that matters a lot when you’re juggling kids and towels.
The food
I’ll put this plainly: the buffet here was the best food I had across four Mallorca properties that week, and that’s saying something. Most of your meals are in the main buffet, so let’s start there. Breakfast and lunch run from a chef cooking eggs, omelettes, bacon, chips and peppers to order on the line. The salad section is broad and proper: capers, dressed salads, mixed meats and cheeses with chutneys, dried fruit, seeds, nuts and the right sauces to pull a plate together. There’s a soup that changes between meals.
The hot food at lunch is where the variety really opens up. A kids’ section with burgers, chips and mozzarella sticks for the easy wins. A main carving station with chicken, baked vegetables and roast chicken. Paella out fresh. Pizzas in three flavours at lunch (mushroom, pepperoni, margherita), and a pasta station with fresh pasta being made, bolognese and an interesting vegetable-and-soy-sauce option that adds a bit of variety to a meal that can feel samey at lesser buffets.
Desserts deserve a paragraph of their own. A serious cake (one of those layered, decorated centrepiece pieces that you usually only see at a wedding), yogurts, fruit salads, multiple smaller cakes, pre-made jellies, and a self-serve ice cream station with sauces. The fruit section is well stocked. Florence handled the ice cream service herself with the kind of focused expression that tells you the resort has got the height of the dispenser right.
Drinks at the buffet are a quiet highlight. You’d expect water, soft drinks and ice. You get all of that plus a great selection of self-served liquor: white wine, rosé, Cava, sangria, red wine and beer, all on tap rather than wait service. That’s a meaningful upgrade because it means you can refresh your glass on your own terms without flagging down a waiter, and it tells you the property trusts its guests not to abuse it.
Dinner is variations on lunch with rotation, with the highlights being an Asian food selection of genuinely good quality, more seafood, more pasta variants, and the dessert section moving up another gear (the donuts and cheesecake stood out). The dining room itself is well lit and there’s outdoor seating if you fancy eating in the air.
The second food outlet on site is a BBQ grill bar with covered outdoor seating. Unfortunately it operates only in season and had closed for the winter (early September) by the time of our stay. If you’re booking for shoulder season, factor that in. The third food outlet is the pair of takeaway trucks near the sports bar, serving fries, sweet potato fries, chicken nuggets and nachos, with the option to eat at the sports bar tables. Useful as a casual lunch when you don’t want to sit in the main buffet.
The bars
Two bars, both useful, each filling a different role. The sports bar sits on the street side of the property with sports theming, a pool table, indoor and outdoor seating and a full service bar, and it’s directly adjacent to the takeaway food trucks if you fancy chips with your drink. The beach bar is just up from the beach access. The bar staff there were excellent on our visit, happy to put drinks on a tray so you can walk them straight down onto the sand yourself.
Star Camp kids’ club, the playground and the gelateria
The Star Camp kids’ club runs two age-banded groups. The room itself is large, decor is lovely, and there’s a serious amount of equipment and toys. The team runs set activities through the day, and parents are welcome to drop in and play with their own kids when sessions aren’t running. We didn’t put it through a multi-day test because of the one-night stay, but everything we saw matched what you’d want from a four-star Star Camp setup.
A small dedicated playground sits adjacent to the kids’ club area, exclusively for resort residents. Standard but well-kept equipment. The kicker is that the on-site gelateria sits right next to the playground. During our late-October stay the gelateria was closed for the season, but the proposition is obvious for peak summer: grab a gelato, walk to the playground, then onto the beach. That kind of sequencing is exactly what a family resort should be designed around.
The Family Suite with pool view
The Family Suite is laid out across two rooms. The first room has a small table where a glass of welcome wine was waiting on arrival, with water from a central point on the floor rather than bottled in-room. There’s storage space and an extra pillow stashed in a cupboard. The sofa was made up as a bed for the kids and folds out further if needed, and the kids get their own TV, which is a sensible touch in a family-targeted suite. The mini bar in this room is not free, which is standard and worth knowing.
The bathroom is in good condition, which I want to flag because it sets this property apart from the Family Superior I had at Iberostar Waves Ciudad Blanca down the coast. A decent-sized mirror with what looks like (but didn’t seem to operate as) back lighting, a generous sink with a stool tucked under it (useful for makeup), a rainfall shower head plus handheld, branded toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and body wash), a zoom-in mirror, a hairdryer and a butt spray bidet attachment on the toilet. Everything functioned. Nothing felt tired.
The master bedroom has plugs and USB on both sides of the bed, which sounds small until you’re in a hotel that doesn’t, and a safe (paid extra, more on that in the cons). The bed itself is decent but not as big as I’d have liked. For a one-night stay it’s fine. For a week-long booking it might start to feel a bit tight, especially for a couple who like the room to move in. The balcony is a decent size, has seating, has proper drying facilities for swimwear and towels, and looks out over the pool. The view is good.
Entertainment and other facilities
Evening entertainment matters at a family resort and the Iber Rock band were genuinely rocking on our stay, the kind of live set that pulls a crowd in rather than playing in the corner. Daytime entertainment runs at a slower pace with bingo and the obligatory Kahoot quiz.
The gym is fully equipped: standing bikes, treadmills, step machines, a leg extension machine, free weights, with towels and water provided. We didn’t put it through its paces given the short stay, but the kit is there. The on-site laundry takes coin and card payment, which is genuinely useful if you’re on an extended stay or you’ve packed light. Both of those are details you appreciate when you need them and don’t think about when you don’t.
Pros and cons after a one-night stay
Pros. Direct beach access through the gated path with the bar tray option for taking drinks onto the sand. Properly themed water slides in good condition. Indoor heated pool (a genuine differentiator on this strip outside peak summer). Star Camp kids’ club well equipped, large room with great decor. Family Suite room and bathroom in good condition. Best buffet food across four Mallorca properties that week. Beautiful plaza courtyard.
Cons. Check-in had a moment of confusion, possibly because we arrived already wearing an Iberostar Waves wristband from another property, possibly cultural language. Easily forgiven given the rest of the stay, but worth flagging. The BBQ grill bar was closed for the season in September, which is early for a property still trying to attract shoulder-season bookings. The bed could have been bigger. The safe in the room is a chain-wide Iberostar Waves paid extra (also true at Ciudad Blanca), which is a small but pointed cost-saving that doesn’t sit well at a four-star.
The final con isn’t really a con, it’s a regret: I wish we’d been able to stay longer. Coming in for a single night after three other Mallorca properties on the same trip, this is the one I’d most happily have extended.
Who is this hotel for?
Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park is for families who want a beachfront four-star on the southern end of Alcudia beach with proper themed water slides, an indoor heated pool option, consistently good buffet food, a beautiful plaza courtyard to gather around, and a kids’ club that engages children rather than parking them. The indoor heated pool makes it a particularly strong shoulder-season pick (late spring, autumn half-term, October trips), where unheated pools at neighbouring properties can be too chilly to use. The direct gated beach access is the other big draw, the kind of feature you can’t easily replicate elsewhere on the strip.
It’s not for couples or solo travellers looking for an adults-only or boutique experience. It’s not for guests who care about a generous master bed in particular. And it’s not for anyone booking for a peak-summer beachfront-only stay where the indoor pool wouldn’t really come into use, where you could probably find a like-for-like proposition slightly cheaper on the Alcudia strip. Note this review is based on a single-night stay, so depth-of-experience aspects (gym use, multi-day kids’ club rotation, seasonal outlets like the gelateria and BBQ grill, the consistency of the food across many days) aren’t fully tested.
Frequently asked questions
The verdict: stay or stay away?
This is a confident stay. Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park gets the things that matter at a four-star family resort right: exclusive gated direct access onto Alcudia beach, well-themed water slides that kids actively enjoy, an indoor heated pool that earns its keep outside peak summer, a buffet that was the best of four properties on the same Mallorca trip, a beautiful plaza courtyard that gives the whole site a sense of place, and a Family Suite that was in genuinely good condition (which is the standout difference between this and the Family Superior I had at sister property Ciudad Blanca up the coast).
The cons are honestly minor: a slightly confused check-in, the seasonal BBQ grill bar being closed in early September, a bed that could have been larger, and the chain-wide paid-extra safe. None of those moves the verdict.
Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park is a stay. This was only a one-night stop, which means I can’t quite vouch for the gym, the gelateria when it’s open, the BBQ grill bar in season, or the kids’ club across multiple days. What I did see was strong enough that the regret line writes itself: I wish we’d been able to stay longer. That’s the cleanest version of a positive verdict you can give.

Auto-generated from the YouTube video and lightly cleaned. Timestamps preserved.
00:00 Welcome to the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park, a four-star property on the island of Mallorca. This is The Resort Report. I’m going to be giving you a full guide. I’m going to be telling you about the pools, the food, the drink, the bars, the beach, the activities, and so much more. We’re just coming into reception here. The first thing that hits you is that signature smell that’s so popular amongst top flight resorts. It is a beautiful place to be, well decorated, and decor particularly like these light fixtures which are lights, and the kids’ corner just over there. We were offered a glass of Prosecco or Cava even on check-in, which was very gracefully received. Now let’s go straight into the pools.
00:54 So they tell me there are four pools here at the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park, but I can actually count five bodies of water. The first being this large main pool. It is an unheated pool, but it does have some great features. You can see how it curves there in the distance, curving there and heading into a shallower end there. There are steps at multiple points as well as some seats within the pool. And so the other bodies of water: we have this very small one with a small slide going in. Then we have this larger shallow puddle pool where the main slides head down into. I love that crab and the different animals here, adding to that water movement by spitting out their mouths. Really nice. And then just off the main pool, we have this very shallow toddler pad. And I wonder if because of those steps, that’s why they count this as one single pool.
02:04 Now, the next pool I want to show you is novel in two ways for Mallorca. Firstly, it is inside, and secondly, it is heated. So you can see today the kids particularly enjoying it because some kids don’t like that cold. Let me show you. So nice and warm in here, but a little bit loud. You got some chairs around. These jets both come on. And yeah, great to see both a heated pool and an indoor pool. I don’t know how often it’ll get used in the peak of summer, but towards the end of the season, which we’re at right now, clearly a good plus point.
02:45 Now, let’s head to the beach. So through this exclusive gated access we go down a few steps directly onto the beach. You can see volleyball just going on there with adults and kids getting involved. Being at the southern end of Alcudia Beach, it is a little bit thinner, but the access is so direct. And yeah, the views are stunning heading over there and heading north as well. Let’s go jump in.
03:27 So we’re in the water now. There’s Florence. Flo, are you enjoying the beach? Yeah. And now it’s a little bit shallower here. I mean, we’re literally in what must be two and a half feet of water and we’re about twenty metres off the shore. So really nice and shallow. Not too many waves and plenty of space for activities. What do you think, Bertie? Yes. Yes. There you go. Here’s Alcudia Beach at the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park.
03:58 Let me now give you a quick tour of a Family Suite with a pool view here at the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park. You enter into this first room which has a table here. We’ve kindly been given a glass of wine there. Water is from a central point. We got some storage behind here and an extra pillow as well. This sofa has been made up for the kids. Obviously, it folds out further. They have their own TV. I’ll take you out on that balcony in just a second. Let’s move towards the bathroom where there is a mini bar. Nothing given to us for free unfortunately, but lots more storage just there. Into the bathroom, we got a decent-sized mirror. I haven’t worked out if I can get it back-lit yet. It feels like it should be lit around there. But a decent-sized sink with lots of space for all your bits and bobs as well as a stool. Super helpful for ladies wanting to do their makeup. In the shower it’s decent size with that rainfall element as well as a handheld and lots of great toiletries: shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Standard toilet, although we do have the butt spray as the kids like to call it. Got that zoom-in mirror and the hair dryer.
05:23 So moving now to the master bedroom. A decent-size bed, although not as big as I might have liked. Importantly, there are plugs and USB on either side of the bed, which is great to see. In this storage, there is a safe. Although as with all Iberostar Waves, it is a paid-for service per night to use the safe, which I think is a shame. Moving now out onto the balcony, we have drying facilities available, and it’s a decent-size balcony with seating and that wonderful view of the pool. And that is a Family Suite here at the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park.
06:03 So whilst there are a few different food options here, most of your meals are going to be in the main buffet. And I’m going to show you around. You’ve got this handsome gentleman cooking up a wonderful treat of chips, egg, bacon, and some peppers there. Some salad items here. Really cool. Different salad options there. Some capers. Mixing it in there with some meats etc. Some cheese please along with chutneys and then dried fruit, seeds, nuts, bits and bobs there. And then you’ve got some sauces just there. There is a soup just hidden away here which changes each time.
07:05 And then we’re off to desserts now. And forgive me for this higgledy-piggledy way of showing you around, but it’s a huge restaurant with a lot going on. So you start here with some fruit. Good selection. Look at this cake. That is a very serious cake indeed. Some yogurts, fruit salads, more cakes, different cake options there. Some pre-made Jell-O there. More cakes. And then we’re on to the ice cream. You can see Florence just expertly serving her own ice cream there. Do watch out for these sauces. They can get you, excuse me, bananas there.
07:45 So we move around to the main section. Then we have a little kids section here with some more kid-focused items. Burgers, chips, mozzarella sticks, and then here some chicken, some baked veg, and some roast chicken there. You can see this gentleman just cooking up some dishes there. Look at that big smile as well. Looking good. Some paella just here. Freshly made pizza options here for lunch. There is a mushroom, a pepperoni, and a margherita. We’re on to the pasta station now. We have some pasta just being made fresh there. I like how they’ve added in this option, some kind of vegetables with soy sauce, and some bolognese and pasta there.
08:46 The final bit I do want to point out other than the general decor, and it looks beautiful in here. It’s well lit. There is some outdoor seating. I want to show you the drinks. So you’re kind of expecting some water to be available as well as soft drinks with the ice. But there’s a great selection of self-served liquor. You’ve got some white wine, some rosé wine. We’ve got some Cava, there’s sangria and another Cava there. And then you have your red wine and beer just there. All self-served, which is a really great plus point if you ask me. So you don’t have to wait for waiter service. And so that is lunchtime here in the main buffet in the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park.
09:33 The second food outlet is this barbecue grill bar. People usually dine just out here under this canopy. Unfortunately only opens seasonally. I believe it closed for the season in September. The third and final food outlet are these takeaway trucks here serving all manner of beautiful stuff. You can see some fries and sweet potato fries being put together there. Some nuggets and some nachos there. Looks beautiful.
10:10 I’m not going to give you a full rundown of dinner service, but I do want to show you some of the dishes that impressed me with that variation from lunch. An Asian food selection out for us here. Great selection, great quality. You can see some seafood here for us, as well as some pasta dishes. And these desserts, those donuts, that cheesecake.
10:38 There are two bars on the property. The first being the sports bar which is on the street side of the property. It features sports theming, a pool table just over there. There’s indoor and outdoor seating and then obviously a full service bar and it is adjacent to the food trucks if you want to eat inside. So just off from the beach we have our second bar, this being the beach bar where you can grab drinks from this very handsome man here who’s looking after everyone, including giving people trays to be able to take them down to the beach.
11:19 So just off from the beautiful beach we do have this small playground exclusively for residents of the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park. It is a small but nice playground (all the equipment’s fine) and it is adjacent to this gelateria, an ice cream shop. Unfortunately the ice cream shop has not been open during our stay, but my assumption is that during peak times, you know, main summer holidays it is and would be really cool, you know, to be able to grab ice creams here, head to the beach, play on the park. A really nice feature of this resort.
12:01 There is a big Star Camp kids’ club here and it’s for two sets of age groups. The room here is lovely and large for decor. Beautiful. They both do set activities in here. And of course you can just come in here with your kids and play on all of this equipment with all these toys as well.
12:48 I’m just coming out from reception behind me into the main plaza courtyard and I want to point out how beautiful it is. You’ve got those flowers in the tree behind me, these huge, beautiful olive trees which have obviously been resettled, rehomed here, but they really add some rustic charm against the white backdrop of the buildings. These big palm trees here. Little bug house on this one. You can see some vegetables being grown there. You’ve got some arcade pool and air hockey equipment there. And then you get on to this very colourful splash park pool element which is perfect for the kids. It is a really beautiful place to be.
13:43 So there is a laundry here which has dryers and washing machines. You can pay by coin and by card if you need to, either because you’re on an extended stay or you just couldn’t fit it all in the luggage.
13:57 So there is a gym here on the resort for those of you who are into that kind of thing. It features all the main equipment types including standing bicycles, treadmills, step machines, this fantastic machine here, you got a leg extension machine. And then some free weights there as well along with all the towels and water that you might need if you fancy going to the gym while on holiday.
14:30 Evening and nighttime entertainment is incredibly important for any resort. And we had the Iber Rock band rocking us all evening. Check it out. Of course, throughout the day we had the slower pace bingo and the obligatory Kahoot quiz.
15:19 So I’m back in the Mediterranean on Alcudia Beach to give you my stay or stay away rating for the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park. Now, before I get to that, I want to go over some pros and some cons of this property. And where better to start than that beach access? I mean, there’s the property right there. You can see the access. It is fantastic and perfect for families. I love how from that bar you can get a tray and bring your drinks down and really enjoy this beach here. If your kids like mine love the beach, this property is just absolutely perfect. And if you don’t want to get sand in your toes as a parent, you could probably just sit up there and watch and easily see your kids play in the very still, very shallow water.
16:11 Now, on the subject of water, the slides in the pool are really cool. I love the theming elements of them and the kids have enjoyed them. A really nice touch and a high quality touch as well given the standard of those slides and the condition that they’re in. The kids’ club was well equipped as well. It’s a big room. Got lots going on in there and they’ve got lots of activities as well as a great room to be in. You feel safe. You feel comfortable leaving your children in there. And on the subject of decor, the room decor and the bathroom were great, in really good condition. Looked and felt good.
17:02 And food. The food here is the best we’ve had on the island. We’ve been here a week. We’ve stayed in four resorts, and this is the best we’ve had so far. So kudos to the resort for that. The final pro I want to point out is that indoor pool. I know the temperature can dip. You can have wet days here on the island and cool the day. So having that indoor pool and it being heated is a nice touch. It’s where my kids have just run off to right now.
17:21 So onto the cons then. Check-in was weird. Like there was a bit of confusion. And I think because we already had an Iberostar wristband on, maybe some cultural language barriers, but it wasn’t as smooth as it otherwise could have been despite getting that Prosecco which was nice. To be honest, it’s very easily forgiven given the rest of the experience that we’ve had on resort. The barbecue grill being closed so early in the season, a month ago closing is a shame, especially as they’re trying to bring people here in those shoulder periods. It could have been open for us and for others. The bed could have been bigger. I would have preferred a bigger bed. It’s you don’t see many hotels or resorts with beds that size nowadays. And if we were staying for a week or so, it would have got a little bit tight. Although I do like getting a little bit close to my wife, but she doesn’t want me close to her. So yeah, there you go.
18:25 But finally the final con is I wish we could have stayed longer. I really do wish we could have stayed here for a week or more. It is a beautiful property. You know, you can see that behind me now. You know, watching this, you got to get it booked and come and stay here. So the stay or stay away rating is clearly a stay. Yeah, you should definitely consider the Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park for your next holiday. If you’ve enjoyed this resort report and guide, please let me know down in the comments. Indeed, ask any questions as well. Thank you very much and see you next time.
