Jonny and I went to Hidropark on Friday last week. I bought tickets at our hotel the night before to avoid the queues the next day. The lady at reception told me about the no food and drink rule so this implied that the rule is still in place (our hotel was the Puerto Azul).

We decided that we wouldn't eat the park so didn't try to bring any food with us. My large camera bag wasn't searched when we got there. We ate at the park last year and the food was awful. So we left the park at lunchtime, got stamped so we could get back in and headed to the two restaurants half a mile down the road. We tried out one which I think is called Bar Crorsan and it was lovely. Jonny had a burger and chips and I had a HUGE plate of pamboli plus some delicious freshly squeezed OJ. Not only was the food 100x nicer than the food at Hidropark, it was much cheaper (only €16.60 for us both) plus we got to sit in air con for an hour to escape the worst of the hot sun.

I would really recommend it. Sorry, no photos this time (I left my camera in a locker at Hidropark). This is a link to the restaurant on streetview: Valentin Puerto Azul Apthotel Mallorca to Hidro Park - Google Maps

We were at the Hidropark again last month and rule still applies. All our bags were searched as were most other peoples.

Food inside was still not restaurant standard but I have to say it was improved from last year but still expensive.

We also went last month, and our bags were not searched, obviously a bit hit and miss! Unfortunately my daughter banged her front tooth on the botton of the pool when the wave machine was on and broke it in half (big tooth as well!!) Going tomorrow to get it fixed!!! Otherwise my girls both thought it was fab!

Took my daughter and her friend to the big water park over in Aranal last week. Loads of people taking in cool boxes full of food and drink with them - so that nonsense about it being a health & safety issue is rubbish.

Much better park as well.
