Last week my 12 year old son and I stayed in a lovely
apartment and I wanted to write a quick review to highlight this. Unfortunately I am not allowed to say what the actual name of the apartment is - if you would like to know PM me.
The apartment was booked on here
http://www.puertopollensa.com/rentals/. The owner was friendly and very helpful during our email correspondence and arranged for an earlier check-in time for us.
The apartment is on C/ Mendez Nuñez on top of the British Food Shop and opposite the
Flora Apartments. The Pine Walk and beach were only a 5 minute walk away so the location was pretty much perfect for us.
There were 2 Spars within 2 minutes walk, the BFS was obviously just downstairs and Multi-Hire was next door. Next door to Multi-Hire was a lovely bar called the Music Bar that I can thoroughly recommend. €2.50 for a nice white wine and a mineral water was a bargain and we had lots of fun on the pool table and table football, especially as they were only €1 per game.
Inside, the apartment was very comfortable and for a 2 bed apartment was very big and airy. The bedrooms both had a/c but the rest of the apartment was relatively cool even though it was 30+ deg C outside. Unusually for me I forgot to take any photos of the apartment inside but the photos on the advert are a very fair reflection of what the apartment looked like.
The balcony was lovely. It was pretty big and looked out over the Flora Apartments and the mountain behind. And you could just about see the sea in the distance stuck your head out over the railings and looked right into the distance! We ate out here lots of times and we also enjoyed games of cards in the evening while I drank a glass (or 2) of wine. I wish I was sat there now, it was a lovely spot.
The only slight negative was that we could hear the "entertainment" from Flora on the balcony each lunchtime (Gangnam Style every day started to grate) and also in the evening (bingo on one night, a really poor Elvis tribute act on another). But the view and ambiance more than made up for that.
There was one major advantage to being so close to the Flora Apartments though - we could pick up their Wi-Fi in the lounge and on the balcony. So for just €22 per device we could connect for 1 week. download speeds were a very respectable 3-4 MB/sec as well.
The balcony didn't seem to get much sun which was perfect for us but if you are a sun worshipper you might be disappointed.
The shared pool was at the back of the apartment block. It was never that busy so Jonny and I were able to muck around in it without getting in anyone's way. The general surroundings around the pool did look a little tatty but it was fine for us.
All in all, this was a lovely apartment that I can thoroughly recommend.
