Nice to hear. Can you give some more info as I'm going with Tansunion next week, the primary reason being I don't want collected 5 hours before my return flight, how early (based on your experience) was your collection before flight?

our pick up was approx 4 hours before flight departure
once was in a coach and the most recent was in a minibus - with only 4 people including us 2 in it.
we got picked up by the roundabout near the Eolo so we could have a last minute Valls ice cream!
we were the last pickup and therefore got to the airport about 3 hours before departure.

Hello.
I had the misfortune to use Resort Hoppa last month. Appalling is all I can say. Nearly three hour wait at Palma then A tour of the Island. Picked my wife up a week later as I could not subject her to that kind of service. We returned three weeks later by Taxi. It was worth losing the Hoppa booking. The Company , despite many e/mails did not seem that concerned and offered us 20$ discount next time - whoopee - you can get that anywhere. Never again - a shame because they used to be good until Palma Coaches came along !!!

Resort Hoppa Service
Just noticed this thread was in use again so thought I might report our bookings.
Used them last year in September. The journey to PP wasn't too bad, although the arrangements for finding their desk at Palma Airport left a bit to be desired. Sat on bus for around 40 minutes before leaving for late evening tour of Alcudia, and then on to PP.
The return flight was in mid afternoon from Palma, so bus duly arrived at approximately 6.30 a.m. to pick us up - not very clever. The only good thing was that the driver was both polite and helpful. So, having read all the dread and doom on the forum this year we have switched to Shuttle Direct for this years flights on Saturday (yes I will be inflicting myself on PP very soon!!), who generally seem to get a good review - only time will tell. Anyway. Hoppa's loss, as we are a party of 8 persons. Will report back in due course
Hope to see some of you.

Hi.
Forgot to say earlier that they wanted to pick us up on the return five hours twenty minutes before our flight - hence the Taxi !!

Thanks MPH133. We normally just "pass through" Palma Airport, and never stop for coffee, or anything like that. So, which end is Pillar 3 (the cafe end) at when you come through after collecting luggage -left or right?
I don't have perfect mobility, and don't want to walk up and down the airport, hence the question. Thanks.

it depends which doors you exit the baggage area from - if the middle doors then you turn right - you cannot really miss it as the pillars have big numbers on them
i can send a map if useful

My husband,Chris booked shuttle direct for his return today to the airport. Only £8.40 and bus arrived spot on time this morning. Great value and service.

In laws arrived yesterday evening in PMI and although booked on a speedy shuttle had to wait for ages and then where put on a shared shuttle / big bus. Didn't arrive in PP til very late. 
Time to kick the Hoppa crowd into touch.

Yes. The call themselves Hoppa now.
Booked directly on their website, but didn't honour the 'speedy shuttle. booking.
Since they changed their local supplier this year it seems to have gone downhill fast.

Will report on the return journey, but I can't see Hoppa making the cut for future trips to PP in a hurry.

We arrived back last Saturday - mores the pity. However, we changed to Shuttle Direct this year, mainly because Hoppa prices increased so very much from last year, and also because last year they arrived so early for the return journey that we felt that they had almost shortened our holiday. Anyway, Shuttle Direct were great - reasonably short wait to leave Palma, and return coach arrived exactly on time 3 hours 25 minutes before flight eft. Will use again.
