Sis Pins & La Singala

[pollensaman]

Hi Kathlyn,

I have sent you a PM with contact details of Hazel Jones.

It's the fridge I'll miss the most. I've managed to get a sea view with balcony for £50 less than the SiS Pins was charging and I know the Miramar well. I suppose there's always the option of buying a bag of ice from the supermarket nearby for those Gin & Tonic afternoons on the balcony + I'll pick up a cheap kettle on the way from the airport. Small touches but ones that gave the Sis Pins a slight edge in my book

 

[annascotland]

We've also booked Miramar instead of Sis Pins this year, we stayed at Miramar once before and you can hire a fridge from them for 15euro a week, as there are 4 of us in 2 rooms it's definitely worth having it. We'll likely have to get used to not having all the home comforts we had got used to at Sis Pins, whoever takes it over!

 

[alathays]

Excellent news

I'll contact them and see what's on offer. There are 4 of us in two rooms and a fridge would be a godsend

I can not confirm the following information as 100% true.
I was told the following last week by a few locals who seems to know what they are talking about.

1. Sis Pins and Singala were not "owned" by FlyGlobespan
2. Asking price for Sis Pins 7 million?
3. Barrhead Travel interested in taking them over.

As I say I can not confirm if this is true or not.

1. I thought they were owned by FlyGlobespan, but would be surprised if they were part of the airline side of the business, all your eggs in one basket?
2. 7 Million sounds way too cheap for this prime position! Split into apartments and sold off would make this a bargin not to be missed.
3. It would make sense for a Scottish company to buy them and the goodwill, but I can imagine bigger fish would be interested.

I just hope that a certain person in PP hasn't got his eyes on the Sis Pins

I went past a few times last week and the main door in Plyboard that usually covers the front arches was open. At this time of the year this is not unusal and normaly followed by the boards being remove and the place comming back to life.................................here's hoping it will open again as a hotel and that it will be very soon

 

[alathays]

I was of the opinion that Sis Pins and Singala were owned by Globespan Group, the parent of FlyGlobspan. Both are in administration but are separate companies with separate assets

I've just arranged a fridge for my room in the Miramar so maybe have a few G&Ts on the balcony and toast the "good old days" at Sis Pins

 

[Smiddy]

Surely the powers that be would not allow the Sis Pins to be used for anything other than a hotel? Rob, If the "certain person" has his eyes on it then i suppose a "showbar" is not out of the question

 

[robjay]

I also believe that the Sis Pins is owned by the Globespan group.

The person who told me said "the owners were looking at reopening the place and that barrhead travel had shown an interest.

Sis Pins was owned by Globespan, and would almost certainly not be allowed a change of use in that location(unless of course they bribed one of the relevant mallorcan politicians not in jail or on bail for corruption!)

Sis Pins

I have been in touch with the administrators, PWC to ask if they had any updates. They replied that Sis Pins and Singala are nothing to do with them. Also the manager at Sis Pins was good enough to pass on our name to the Appts Flora as a possible alternative for a holiday in the port. Unfortunately we have been spoiled at the Sis Pins so like many people we are fervently hoping they will be open again for business in 2010.

 

[annascotland]

We were always under the impression that Sis Pins was a Globespan hotel, we're just waiting to hear when they'll be taking bookings again so we can book for our usual week in June, have already booked our August week at the Miramar just so we are guaranteed at least 1 week in PP this year.

I don't think Flora apts are the best alternative. There are other hotels nearer the Sis Pins such as Miramar or Maricell apts which are better in my opinion.

Adios

[apeebles]

We do know the port well -have stayed at several properties in the area incl Singala and the Mirimar-and like many others we will probably try for the Mirimar or the Daina if Sis Pins is not available this year.

 

[annascotland]

See on post on Tripadvisor PP forum yesterday that 'Sis Pins hotel has not been sold and won't be opening for business this year', what a waste, wouldn't you think with the experience of the previous management and staff the Receiver could have kept it as a going concern until it could be sold. I feel very sad for all the fantastic staff.

 

[lollipop]

There was somebody in the hotel yesterday,but could not see if it was workamn as door ajar but not wide open.

From Trip Advisor Re Sis Pins
I rang this hotel again this morning, 16th March. The man said the hotel had not been sold, was closed, and would not be taking bookings or opening this summer. Not good news, I am afraid.

 

[Smiddy]

The Globespan collapse is just beginning to sink in Really thought the Sis Pins would be open by the summer, it's such a important part of the frontage, i really hope they look after it until a buyer is found.

Especially when they started serving dinner on the 'sun bathing patio'right on the beach looked great. Hotel bahia did the same until their terrace got washed away in the storms

 

[slipalong & lola]

Hi is that in the recent storms that Bahia have suffered damage? Hope not as it is one of our favourites and looking foreward to spending many evenings there in June. Cheers .Slipalong & Lola

I think ray means the storms a few year ago when a hurricane caused a lot of damage along the sea front. It blew down a lot of trees including 5 of the 6 pine trees that The Sis Pins was named after, and also destroyed the terrace on the beach in front of the Bahia. Not sure if its true but we were told the terrace had been built without planning permission so once it was destroyed by the storm they couldn't re build it. Great shame as it was the perfect spot for a long lazy lunch or romantic dinner.
