...If you are considering Puerto Pollensa as a family holiday destination do not hesitate. Having just come back from two glorious weeks I heartily recommend it. Puerto Pollensa is a quiet resort in the north of Majorca. It is situated in a beautiful bay and as a good beach and a wide variety of good restaurants. The accommodation that we stayed in was very good (Habitat apartments). It had 3 swimming pools, nightly entertainment and children’s activities during the day. Whether you enjoy beach/pool holidays or want to travel Puerto Pollensa is a great place. The bus service is very good. You can visit busy Alcudia or if you like something even quieter and idyllic Cala San Vicente. A 15-minute bus ride gets you to Cala San Vicente, which is possibly the most beautiful place on the Island. Even so Cala San Vicente is amazingly quiet. It has... Read review

Advantages: Peaceful
Disadvantages: Distance from airport

...If you are of the opinion, (which I was I must admit), that Majorca was a place frequented by only the young and noisy then think again. On the northern part of the island is a resort called Puerto Pollensa which bears no resemblance to the lively southern part of the island. It is heaven on earth. A lovely, peaceful resort which has not seen that much development and retains a very spanish feel to it. Set on a beautiful long, white, sandy beach with the clear blue water on one side and mountains on the other, it truly gives a diferent perspective to Majorca. No discos, just friendly little restaurants, bars and cafes. Ideal for families with younger children and for couples looking for a romantic spot.!! Downside is that it is an hour's drive from the airport and with many of the island's 'tourist' attractions situated... Read review

Advantages: Great beach, very attractive, good shopping
Disadvantages: Poor for sight seeing, long transfer, no trendy nightlife

...Puerta Pollensa is about 75 minutes transfer from the airport and is located in the extreme north east of Majorca. The town itself is notable for its extensive harbour with lots of local fishing boats, holiday boats and some bigger cruisers. It also has an excellent beach stretching towards Alcudia. The beach is clean and sandy. It has hamacas and parasols all the way along (2000 charge was 1300 ptas for two hamacas and a parasol per day. You can of course use the beach free of charge. The sea at PP is excellent because the resort is sheltered and therefore the sea is quite calm. It also gets a good breeze which means it is often the coolest place in the resort. For swimming and for childrens safety the whole seafront is very good. The beach also has resources for hobie cats, wind surfing, and the banana. From the harbour boats... Read review

Disadvantages: A busy road - be careful out there.

...A quick guide to Puerto Pollensa I'm no great traveller and I'm even less of a travel-writer. This may hit the spot, it may not. Let's see shall we? I've been visiting Puerto Pollensa on the north-eastern tip of Mallorca for 25 years now and I can quite categorically say, it's my favourite part of the world. Many a wonderful holiday has been spent there and each time I go, a flood of happy memories come to me like the gentle lapping of the water on the golden beaches. In all that time, I've seen a few changes but the essence of the place has remained unchanged. Thanks to frugal town-planning where only old buildings can give way to new, Puerto Pollensa has retained the charm that so enticed us in the summer of '82 and just about every year since. First of all though, if you're reading this hoping to get an idea for your... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, lovely location
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy plumbing, basicness of kitchen area

...Great apartments - great location! Our first time to Majorca, Puerto Pollensa and the Don Miguel apartments and after reading other reviews we were a little worried about the quality of the apartments to say the least but we were very pleasantly surprised! Our Apartment As other people have said the apartments are quite basic but at the end of the day they are only 2 star so we weren't expecting luxury and were quite pleased with what we got! Our apartment was one bedroomed. It was apartment 2A and we were in the apartment block that ajoins the Panorama Hotel. We were on the 2nd floor and had 2 fabulously large balconies, one that overlooked the pool area and another off the bedroom, which really we never used. There were 2 single beds and ample wardrobe space there was also a bed settee in the lounge with further wardrobe space... Read review

Advantages: Clean, Friendly and Beautifully presented
Disadvantages: Quite a walk to the centre of town

...is just a 2 minute walk to the sea front, however it is about another 10-15 minutes to walk in to the centre of Pollensa which is reached by walking along the beach front, palm tree lined, Pine Walk. The hotel has a shop attached to it which is small but well equipped, it is useful for those who are self-catering. My only criticism would be if you are looking for a child free, peaceful hotel this isn't the one for you as it attracts quite a few families with young children, but this won't be too much of a problem if you went outside of the school holidays. Overall it is a fun, friendly, clean and good quality hotel to stay at and I would recommend it to anyone from families to young couples.... Read review

Advantages: Clean, nice food and lots to do
Disadvantages: Not much night life, book early at resturaunts

...I stayed at this 3+ star hotel for 2 weeks last March and overall i was pretty impressed. This hotel located at Puerto Plata was beautifully decorated and very clean and well kept, it seemed more like a 4 star hotel that a 3 star. We paid a little under £2,000 for two weeks all inclusive and this was for a double room with sea views. The hotel is right on the beach so the views were absolutely amazing.. We found most of the staff friendly and we got checked in within 15 minutes. On arrival our bags were collected and taken straight away so we could go straight to the reception to check in. This hotel is ideal for keen golfers and watersports fans as the hotel is right on the beach and has a large golf course to the side of the hotel. We were amazed at how nice and 'grand' the hotel looked when we got there. This hotel... Read review
