Yes Varsp, we live above the bar and it is very noticeable how much darker the apartment has become, although we do not get much sun on the terrace in the winter anyway.

Isn't it just a heavy refurbishment of the original building? When we last looked it just seemed to be the scaffold and netting that made it look higher, although the new roof pool might add a bit.

No it's not, the original 2 storey rear of the building is now 6 storey

Yes, doing a like for like view on Google Streetview with sws97sdg photos there is another 2 stories.

Does anyone have pictures of what is going on at Hotel Romantic/ Ancla? On the webcam you see cement trucks and lots of activity out front but without seeing the building.

Hi AB there is a thread here with some pics, not much to see yet really http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/...ting-news.html

My word!!!.
That looks a monstrosity and so out of place in PP.
We were so close to renting the apartment that you see on the left, the white one on the corner, but decided to go with the one above Los Faroles again.

From these photos you can really see how shaded and dark the alley has become, it's way to tall.

[sws97sdg]

Just to remember what it was like, maybe slightly taller!!

La Goleta by sws97sdg, on Flickr

[pips]

Including the main lower balcony there are now 6 floors not included is the rooftop, whereas before there were 4 floors also not including the rooftop, also it seems to be longer down the side. I know bit pathetic counting the floors, will be interesting to see it with the scaffolding off, hopefully done by May when we're over.

I was in pp last week and laughed at the sign on the front " opening 2015 ". Well it wont be anytime soon because the inside is just a shell.

They probably mean quarter past eight
That way, they don't need to state the week month or even year.

All seems to have gone very quiet re 'La Goleta'? Hasn't collapsed, has it?

They will hit against the law on building restrictions in a tourist area very soon so all noisy or dirty work will be stopped.... I am sure Can Balache and others have their lawyers in place to denounce if work continues past the cut off day. Cannot see that it will be ready and it certainly is not an attractive prospect in the centre of the resort.
