The Galeon to re-open.

[Sparky]

There was talk that Tolo was going to take it over last year (i think) but the deal fell through because he didn't want to take on the old staff and in Spanish law he would have had to pay them off if he kept it open. So i suppose it is quite possible that since it's been closed for more than a year he would now be free to take on whoever he wants.

A SC apartment with Tango on the ground floor and beach almost across the road. Wishes do come true.

Is the Galeon restaurant as large as Tango Ca Vostra or their previous location just off the square?

 

[Sparky]

I would say smaller than both Marilyn

So just to clarify both the Galeon hotel & restaurant is reopening, Tango Ca Vostra is moving to the restaurant (& leaving Ca Vostra empty?) and are they (Tango) running the hotel too or is that someone else? I think that they're self-catering apartments - is that right?

From what I have heard, the person who has bought the hotel side did have finance problems when trying to buy it last year, but this has now been sorted out. Not sure who it is though at the moment.
Just hope that Ca Vostra does not remain empty for long, even though it is just a little way out of the port area, it is still accessible and will do well if the right restaurant takes it up. Just look at Can Cuarassa!

Not sure if the phone number will change Clinkham , they will be closed for February anyway but i will try to find out .

Sorry Sparky, I was referring to Manalos (?) party trick of imitating a trimphone. Almost a trade mark!

LOl!!. Clinkham i think the trim-phone will also move, Manolo does it wherever he is, i walked past Cafe Eu Moll late one night and heard that sound, when i looked in the window there was Manolo having a drink with friends .

Well it looks like the rumour is going to be squashed - or at least put on hold. Latest news is that Tango is not going to move out of Ca Vostra. They were, but have now changed their minds. So rumour has it! A bit of excitement for a while there though, lets see what pops up next!

 

[whaleywanderer]

Hopefully they're going to expand and run both of them.

 

[Belladonna]

Now thats a great rumour to keep us all happy for a while whaley!

It's all very odd isn't it but the "Opening soon sign" was definitely there last Thursday. Of course it's possible that someone else put it there .

Interesting, the Hotel and Restaurant are due to re-open on the 10th February and I can see that work is being done on the pool at moment. I was told that it was Jaime, Hotel San Jordi who was taking it over. Anyhow, great news that someone will take it over as its a wonderful property. just will be good to know all the details clearly. I shall get onto it too and find out what I discover.

Checked it out today, work going on, sign says opens Feb 2012, will post photos on return

 

[Belladonna]

Wow! Hope they manage to stick to their schedule then Sws. It will be a lovely corner of Llenaire again with three good restaurants close by. I wonder who is taking it over then?

 

[sws97sdg]

Poster in window says galeonsuites.com, any info there?

 

[Belladonna]

Very interesting sws. Looks like a brand new site has just been set up, but not much info on it yet. A few basic (good) photos and description where it is, and then the "coming soon February 2012" banner. It is also advertising a Wellness Centre. Liking this more and more! Looks good to go. Keep us informed if anything else pops up sws! Good scouting!

 

[Belladonna]

Its actually adding more info on it each time I log in. Boy, are they working fast - its not the Germans taking it over is it!!

De nada Bella, lovely walk along the beach this morning

 

[Mimsy]

There is a big poster in the window of the Sant Jordi Hotel (Pollensa) advertising El Galeon - says enquiries can be made to them. Their websites have very similar logos. Certainly seems like they are connected.

 

[Belladonna]

Well spotted Mimsy - the plot thickens!
