Changes at the Pollensa Park?

[Sparky]

Yes there is a big cycling event going on (lots of tight Lycra on view).

Well

Maybe they could get a few lardies to touch their toes on the beach .

Perfect bike storing solution IMO

Hi

Just been reading about the Pollensa Park !! new it was quiet last year but didnt realise it was that bad

Does anyone know anything about The Romantic Hotel ?? They are part of the same group and we are booked ther at the end of June

We have stayed ther several times before and though it is a very simple Hotel it is always so clean and the staff are really nice They also have people going there who have been going there every year for ever We just think the position is perfect The group also own the only beach bar as well Im hoping we still have somewhere to stay !!

 

[Sparky]

Copper, no need to worry the Polypark is open as is Tamarells beach bar and they are working on getting the Romantic ready to open.

Thank you for that Sparky

Ideally we would love to find an apartment in that exact spot but I think it was the BellaMar they owned as well and that has closed I have just had a quick look at their website which they have updated and the Galleon and BellaMar have gone Thank you again We will have to make more effort to see what else is nearby when we are there

Hi you will find many privately owned apartments in that vicinity, they often have signs with telephone numbers and you can also find many on this website, have a look at the link below. Hope this helps you.

Sparky,

Would you happen to know of any apartments that offer a catered service? I know that might sound a bit of a daft question, but my group of cyclists would be very keen on renting a couple of apartments next March, but as we're out cycling all day then we simply don't have to time (or the strength left) to go shopping and to cook.

 

[Sparky]

Hi Rich, the problem is that not many places are open in March but you could try Duva, have a look at the link below.

Rich, you might want to try Pension Bellavista! We've stayed there before when cycling. It is actually a hotel/pension but small and very friendly. They have bike storage space and a small restaurant. Really flexible.

La Goleta on the front has a lot of cyclists stay there, the owner is keen cyclist himself and they have a secure place to leave bikes

Like you many of you cyclists I have been holidaying at Pollensa Park for 20 years and have seen how the owners have ploughed back the profits into improving the hotel.

I will be there in 2 weeks and although I know that Pedro, Tolo and Toni will not be there as usual, life must go on.

We have all read that Spain has been going through torrid times financially but like all true Brits, we do not expect that such problems will have any impact on us.

I will not give up on the hotel in which I have spent over a year of my life just because they (and we) are having to face reality. From what I read, regular parties just missing out one year could cause further problems to the viability, encouraging others to do the same will have a riotous effect and could well lead to the hotel's demise.

Remember the good times before you sound the death knell

Think you'll find Tolo is still there but the hotel will change dramatically with Swiss Germans in control

 

[Kym]

Change can be good and not necessarily negative. Personally I welcome the return of the Germans and if the swiss want to come all the better! Could be the making of the hotel and pollensa as it has become mostly English over past few years. If we want Blackpool we will go to Blackpool. I think the change will be for the better but I'm sure some will disgree.

If Tolo is still there that can only be good news. My earlier info was clearly inaccurate.

Is Toni still there?

It is great to see a balanced view of the changes that is appearing in the latest posts

 

[Rich]

My latest update received from a couple of friends still out there at the PollyPark is that in the last two weeks the food has improved dramatically, and the place is very busy.

As the starter of this thread, I do hope that we're able to get there next year - it ticks all the boxes for my group. Hopefully the new management team are now finding their feet.

 

[Sparky]

I have been to the Golden Lion tonight to watch the final of the Copa Del Rey, most of the customers were Pollensa Park staff and have been told that Tolo and Toni have both retired.
