Feeling optimistic

[roig cat]

Just booked a sneaky 4 night break in July! I was one of the lucky ones who managed a July holiday last year without needing to quarantine ( missed it by 2 days). I’m feeling optimistic.

Fingers crossed

hope it works out for you . And we need a full report on your return !

I'll be interested to know how that works out should holidays go ahead this year. Within 20 minutes of going round a supermaket over in england with a mask on, the sweat is pouring off of me.

I could not imagine laying on a beach in 30+ with one on and even more ludicrous going swimming in one. However, looking at the new law spain intends to bring in, that will be the case.

Pollensafan - think yourself lucky you are not living and working here

I agree quite a ludicrous thing to bring in, I for one won't be coming out this year with these laws as I suffer with COPD and breathing with a mask on in that heat is not viable.

 

[roig cat]

I’m staying in a villa so it’s not a concern.

 

[roig cat]

I also work as a midwife on a hot labour ward. I’m used to masks, I just need a break.

Its Only Until End Of May

at least that is what I have read . And as UK citizens cannot fly out at least until 17 May (guessing that will be put back) should not be a problem.

My issue is why on earth was it decided that this new procedure was necessary as you are out in the fresh air ???

Laying on a beach.
Not the El Tel i know.
Sitting on a Terrace with a cold Beer or Vino.
Now that's the Pollensafan i know.

If only my noble lord !
The way things are going, the only way I'll be seeing that again is if dear nursey pushes me along in my bath chair and lifts the glass up for me.

Certain that wont be the case by the time holidays start

We were in Lanzarote for Christmas and didnt find wearing a mask for walking around outside a problem and we are used to it indoors now We had a Villa so never went to the beach We had PCR tests before we went and quarantine on return

Wouldnt be happy with wearing one on the beach and PP is our favourite beach so wouldnt really be worth out while coming there

So hoping things change for the better in time for the main summer holidays

 

[lollipop]

The Balearics have announced that it is not necessary to wear a mask on the beach or at swimming pools. This is a National Law but the Autonomous regions have objected.

 

[kazzergardner]

Yes the mask issue on the beach is no longer a problem I believe, which is good news.

 

[Deanscroft]

Its not quite that simple. The clarification is that masks need not be worn on the beach and around a swimming pool as long as all over requirements are adhered to. As it is already obvious in the last few days that the tourists arriving for easter have no intention of complying with the regulations then I would not be supprised to see the masks on beaches / around pools reintroduced very soon.

I too am optimistic, but cautious also.

To that end I would like to just enquire if anyone, (probably Sparky), can confirm that The Miramar Hotel has indeed re-opened today, as announced last August? If it has, then I would feel more confident that my booking for later this year will go ahead.

Any news will be welcomed.

Hi Tango

Miramar posted the message below on their social media 3 weeks ago...
I guess this may change depending on how things go.
Fingers crossed

Dear Friends and Guests:

The light at the end of the tunnel is becoming more intense. The darkest will give way to the clarity of the day and that is where we will enjoy a well deserved rest. Until then, we have to stay safe, be strong and think positive.
The opening of Hotel Miramar and Miramar Collection apartments will be next May 17th 2021. The reason of this delay are the mobility restrictions throughout Europe and UK.
This date will be reviewed on April 12.
Our Team will continue working to make the Hotel Miramar and the Miramar Collection apartments a safe destination with all the sanitary guarantees.
Our Customer Service will always be by your side. You can contact us through our email: reservas@hotel-miramar.net, social networks, website or through our phone: 971 866 400 during office hours (Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm)
We really want to start the season now!!! Too many days have passed without being with the great people of the Miramar family.
Anyway, let's be positive.The best is yet to come.

Have a big hug and see you very soon.
Stay safe

🏖🏖🏖

Your social media quote is welcome. We have Jet2 booked for a week at the Miramar, commencing May20th.

Jet2, without prompting or requesting, have twice put back the final payment balance date. It is now due April 8th. However, with all the uncertainty regarding opening up travel restrictions etc etc we are minded to cancel and loose our deposit (this outcome factored in when we booked in January). Time is short for a decision. We will need to advise Jet2 to cancel in time for them to stop any automatic debit on the plastic.

Ah well, stay calm and eat Mallorcan potatoes......

 

[PPToni]

The Hoposa group haven't indicated when they're officially opening their hotels, but you can book with them from May 17th too.
So maybe that's the date they're all collectively hoping the season might start?

Staying optimistic

Am I the only one deeply disturbed that today there were 54 flights from Germany to Palma, given that COVID rates are so much higher in Germany. Meanwhile, the Spanish won’t let us in, and our own government won’t let us out. So far 2021 has been far more disappointing to me than 2020, when we were able to visit our apartment 5 times. I wish the wonderful EU would stop posturing and get on with vaccinating. Rant over!! ��������
