Re: Bellamar formerly Pollensa Park Apts
We've been staying @ Hobby Club every September for the last 7 years and love it to bits. However, it has become increasingly expensive what with underoccupancy and flight supplements (huge ex Glasgow) that we felt, this year, it was beyond our budget for self-catering. We love to savour the delights of the resort restaurants and don't want to restrict ourselves to beans on toast every night in the apartment to cut spending costs. Also there have been very few renovations to the Apartments since we've been coming to warrant such price increases except new shower curtains.
For years we thought that this was the only place to stay in PP - ideal beach location, fabulous sea views, good accommodation, nice (if cold) pool, friendly staff and the familar faces of returning guests. However, since we're coming in early October this year and not too optimistic about beach location weather-wise (eg Bellamar) we have elected to stay @ the Oro Playa Apts in the town centre for a change via Direct Holidays - of which we have received several excellent recommendations. This is costing us almost half the price quoted for Hobby Club through First Choice.
I'll miss the Hobby Club (and may still potter up to that end of the beach if the weather is fine -old habits die hard) but we're looking forward to seeing PP from a different perspective. We'll enjoy our nightcaps on the Pine Walk instead of @ the Galeon this year.
If all goes well, we'll be able to enjoy 2 holidays in PP for the price we would normally pay for one - excellent value. Let me know what you think of the Bellamar, as I fancy staying there in May/June and Oro Playa again in October next year.
