Recommend directly contacting hotels
Hola all, Advance apologies for raving but I am very happy! A few days ago I was contemplating going elsewhere for our July '14 jaunt (we are spending Christmas in Nerja largely thanks to positive references to the town on the forum, thank you for that!

and had considered revisiting the Malaga area next summer). This was due to the fact that neither Jet2 nor the hotel website itself showed availability for a room with a balcony at our beloved Hotel Villa Singala.
We did briefly dither about staying elsewhere (we enjoyed Sis Pins in its Globespan-run past, and Mar Calma also really appeals, AND both are much more central - less of a walk hame in the heat and humidity!!). And perhaps a year off from Puerto Pollensa would be healthy...? ...Dither we did. For all of a few minutes!
But I must be honest, for us as for so many other guests, Singala really has become a bit of a home from home. Not at all fancy, but comfortable, clean, run with superb efficiency and staffed by utterly salt-of-the-earth folk, to us it is pretty near perfect (well, maybe the occasional cooked breakfast would be nice but that is just a tiny niggle!). Anyhoo... enough rambling, so keen was I to find a room there that I emailed the manager Josep directly, and was delighted to discover that there was actually a room available - so, FINALLY, to get to my point, it really is worth contacting the hotel or apartment directly even if it appears to be booked up!
Sorry again for my long-winded ramble!!!
