Never heard of them, but i would go with the wisdom that they will enhance the port! Must confess my only reservation is it's being sited on a area which is already lovely and doesn't require any change. Plenty of other areas do.

Ah, now you have me thinking Smiddy. I assumed (yes I know the joke) that it was to be incorporated within Ses Pins. Are they taking separate premises then?

Bella they are taking over the bar and restaurant at the Sis Pins.

Thanks Sparky. I thought that's what was happening.
In which case Smiddy, it's not going to intrude on any outside area other than what is already taken up by Sis Pins I would think, so all will be well!

I've also been to their premises in Palma and Puerto Andratx.......they are very smart, professionaly run set-ups and play great chilled out music. At the one in Andratx you can sit outside overlooking the sea on rocking type deckchairs.......bliss !!
This has to be a big improvement for PP and thankfully not a naff themed Irish bar, yuk.

Found this quote on their own site - now we know its really going to happen, and looks like it's going to be a summer opening.
“We´re excited to announce the new Cappuccino Grand Café and Tahini Sushi Bar in Puerto Pollensa, due to open in summer of 2011!!!
The Cappuccino Group has just purchased the lower floor of the charming, emblematic Hotel ´Sis Pins´. Legend has it that Agatha Christie stayed here one winter while writing her famous novel ´Problem at Pollensa Bay´.
Boasting a large terrace facing the sea, the new Cappuccino Grand Café and Sushi Bar will serve classic cocktails, prepared by our expert barmen. You will also be able to enjoy the best sushi, nigiri and sashimi on our fantastic terraces under the shade of the six pine trees that gave the hotel its name. Sadly, these trees were knocked down during a storm that affected most of the north of the island in 2001, although Juan has told me that they will be re-planted as soon as possible.
The new Cappuccino Grand Café, with a capacity for 750 guests, will blend seamlessly into the style of Puerto Pollença.
See you at the new Cappuccino next summer!”

I am a wee bit sad but the thing that exites me most is the thought of 6 new pine trees being planted, trouble is I wont live long enough to see them evolve & bend.

Joey, it certainly doesn't read quite right does it? It is supposed to be the largest they have opened on the island so far, but even so!?
As far as I know, Sis Pins only has about 50 rooms, so that doesn't even add up if they meant the hotel guests. Obviously a bit of a Tardis trick going on!
(Or could be a misprint of course!)

I'm seriously concerned about the impact this development will have on the ambiance of the Sis Pins, as my wife and I are already booked for July.
I'll email the hotel asking if sun terrace and ground floor lounge will be available for guests.
Any further info or even gossip from PP residents would be welcome.
Thanks.

Definitely a typo regarding the numbers. There is no way it will cater for 750!. probably either 75 or 50.
Don't think it will affect the ambiance Parsman, I think it will be better than before (assuming the renovations are complete when you arrive). I am left wondering that if they take up the ground floor and sun terrace where are the residents going to get their full english?
I assume the kitchens will also transfer to Capuccino?.
Adios

This is just what PP needs. A further touch of class. The atmoshere, ambience and presentation at Valdermossa is superb. I only hope standards will be maintained. Much will depend on the staff and the clientele they manage to attract and retain .
They also produce great music cds

Have been listening to tracks on the cd's and love the style. I know you can buy them online but do they sell them all in the restaurants too? I would prefer to buy them there rather than risk the post at the moment! Also its a really good excuse to actually make an effort to go to one further afield from PP until it's up and running!

Bella, it looks like the PP CGC will be up and running well before you make it out again

That would be lovely, my previous adivice from the hotel was that Sis Pins is due to open on March 1st, but Cappuccino opening was still to be confirmed. But I can't see it being allowed to be too far behind the hotel's opening date as guests would not be happy bunnies, so hopefully by the end of April it will be up and running - with a full stock of CD's if I'm lucky!

Hi , wondered if you managed to get any more information on changes at Sis Pins! We're booked for our 6th. visit in August and no mention was made about changes when we booked. It could be significant if the restaurnt has been taken over. We so enjoyed our breakfast on the terrace and the hot/cold buffet style. Last summer was already strange as they had used the shaded terrace for eating and so it was difficult for those who can't sit in the sun. We assumed this would be temporary as they had not long re-opened. Any info. you have would be great...
