Don't know about Bigbob's info....but this was in the Majorca Bulletin yesterday:


Globespan collapse leaves Pollensa hotels high and dry
STAFF REPORTER
THE bankruptcy earlier this year of Scottish tour operator Globespan has grounded more than just a fleet of aircraft - three tourist hotels in Pollensa won’t be able to open their doors this season as they are owned by Globespan’s branch in Spain, Creixent.
The three-star Hotel Sis Pins in the Port of Pollensa, built in 1953, was acquired through Creixent in 2000 as were the Xingala hotel and the Alexia apartments in the same resort. The Sis Pins had made a name for itself over the years as a favourite spot for famous faces. The collapse has prompted 25 hostelry workers who have been employed during the high season each year at the three establishments to claim compensation for redundancy.

The workers were at an arbitration tribunal yesterday seeking an agreement acceptable to all parties concerned.Creixent says it is still possible to open on 1st May but won’t commit to giving the workers a contract with fixed dates to which they had been accustomed in previous years. Creixent has until 28th April to come up with a viable alternative.

That is great news - must say the paseo looked a bit desolate with Sis Pins all boarded up! It's a lovely place to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by as well.

According to the DB the Sis Pins won't be opening this year, with no sign of it opening think we should bow to the inevitable. Fingers crossed it will be up and running next year.

Spoke to a girl I know who is contracted by Sis Pins and all she knows is that someone is interested in buying and wants to open.

I am in Puerto Pollensa & have just passed the Sis Pins with a very excited staff standing outside. The hotel has been bought by a man from Birmingham a Mr Round and will open on the 12 June. La Singala is not involved in the deal but is in the process of being sold.
I spoke to Antonia & Matteo, they were going in to start work. The hotel can be booked at hotelsispins.com
Wonderful news!

Absolutely brilliant news.............walked past there several times while out in PP last week and each time shook my head in disbelief that this place was all closed up.

Back out in June so look forward to seeing customers enjoying themselves.

By the way, Does anyone know who "Mr. Pound" is ???

(And don't say the owner of "Poundland" shops !!!)
