CLUB Illa D'or

[Jackie H1]

Has anyone ever stayed in the club Illa D'or apartments? They are quite expensive and seem to be exclusive to the Travel Club of Upminster who don't show many photo's or details on them.

 

[Quelys]

Not stayed there but I know they are being completely refurbished this winter

 

[Jackie H1]

That's good to know Quelys-thank you.

Hi Jackie.

We stayed at the Hotel Illa D'or In November and as Quelys stated they are currently being completly refurbished, there is a sign at the entrance stating they are exclusive to the Travel Club Of Upminster.

Apartments Illa Dor Club, Puerto Pollensa

Thanks for taking the time to reply Carl-I will keep an eye out for progress on them.

Would still like to hear 1st hand from anyone that has actually stayed in the apartments re:cleanliness, facilities etc.

Hi Jackie,

I had a week in the apartments in '06. I will start by saying that they are in a great position, a wonderful swimming pool, decent furniture, were clean,a huge bedroom, living room and a completely seperate kitchen were rather on the small side - would be better if they made it open plan which they might well do this winter!!?? A very quiet block of apartments with no reception area,(at the hotel) no entertainment....this is want we liked and wanted! The peace and quiet round the really beautiful pool, being so near the Pinewalk and the Illa d'or Hotel made for a perfect holiday.Hope this helps.

That has helped enormously thank you Favie-just what I wanted to hear and they sound just what I am looking for. I popped in the Illa D'or hotel for a look round last year but didn't realise these apartments behind existed at the time or I would have gone for a look.

Sounds like you had a 1 bedroom apartment-any idea what the studios are like-quite a difference in the price!

 

[favie]

Glad it did help Jackie....if you are anything like me you will want to get it just right!!! I will say though the kitchen was not brilliant but again if you are like me ....you won't be spending too much time in it
Have you looked at any of the Bellresguard Apartments because I think you might find that some of them(depending on what time of year) are not much more than the Illa d'or apartments...and they might increase in price after the refurbishment...just a thought. You will find them advertised on the "Villas and Apartments" to rent in the left-hand side of the PP forum page. They are located just behind the Illa d'or Apts.

PS Yes we were in a one bedroom therefore don't know what the studios are like.

 

[Jackie H1]

Just like you Favie-I want to get it right! Just like you-I don't intend to spend much time in the kitchen!

Have a Bellresguard one in mind at the moment-would you say apartments there would be preferable to Illa D'or?

Last year was my first visit to PP-had a quick,cheap week in the Pollensa Park. Walked the walk and know which end of PP I want to be, now just need to find the right place to stay!

Hi Jackie,
Why don't you have a look at Marfran.net. Some really good Pine Walk apartments. Marfran are an estate agents based in PP. I've used them a few times, great locations.

 

[Jackie H1]

Thank you for that Pollpott-all suggestions gratefully received! Will have a look immediately as thinking of next June and places seem to get booked up very early.

 

[favie]

Hope you got my PM Jackie....had a bit of trouble trying to send it last night!!??

 

[Jackie H1]

Actually Favie......NO sorry but I didn't!

The club apartments will be some of the best in the area when the refurbishment is finished - re-opening 1st April without fail. The apartments will be very modern, bright and with top furnishings and fittings being used. The kitchenette will be open plan giving more space and brightness. The lounge will have a high quality double sofa bed and the bedrooms will have twin beds - some king size doubles will be available on request. Balconies are being made larger by the removal of the flower beds and they will be glass fronted allowing the light to filter through into the apartment. The studios will have a double bed - curtained off - in the main living room - they are suitable for 2 pax. only. The exterior remains unchanged. Pre bookable breakfast in the hotel option also available on request - and use of hotel interior pool and sauna included in rental price. Hope this helps. Enjoy your stay.

 

[Jackie H1]

That is great information-many thanks for taking the time to reply.

we have stayed there only once, very nice but a bit expensive, we booked through this website at the time Hotel Daina, Puerto Pollensa

was a good bit cheaper than through travel club, not sure if you can still do this now

 

[Jackie H1]

Thank you Gers-already tried that one and it just comes up as unavailable, so assume Travel Club is only option of booking them, and as you said-they are quite expensive.

Hi Jackie H1

Today we received a mail from the Illa D'or with there latest magazine, in which is an article regarding the apartments and photo's of what they will look like when there finished on April1st. The refurbishment is costing 1.2 Million Euro's so should be nice.

I'll forward a link as the magazine on the Illa D'or site hasn't been updated yet

Regards
Carl.

 

[Jackie H1]

I would be very interested to see that Carl-thanks for the info.
