would go for LLenaire personally - we just like the area , El Vilar a bit out of town, have stayed next door to Paula, + just up the road, nothing wrong with that area, Llenaire nearer the sea

All 3 areas are good but if you want to be close to the Port and it's bars and restaurants Gotmar is about a 15 minute walk, Llenaire about 30 minutes and El Vilar would be better by car.

The llenaire villa will probably be on a road back from the sea and quieter , I think Villa Paula is fairly close to the new bypass (which doesn't carry that much traffic) but as Sparky says is probably closer to the beach and the port.

Three fantastic looking places in three great areas, you will have a great time which ever you choose. It depends on what type of holiday you are looking for, as people have said the location is the main difference, if you want to be able to walk to the beach , shops or restaurants than villa moncho Llenaire would suit, is you wanted more of a quiet holiday around the pool where you would need to drive to go to the beach , shops or restaurants, then ca na alba El vilar would suit, and what a stunning modernist villa that looks, very jealous if you stay there. And sort of a compromise with the villa paula in Gotmar, not as close to the beach but still walkable to the port, but closer to the country and to Pollensa. As I say you will have a brilliant holiday which ever you choose!

Hi pudnpik
We stayed in Villa Paula 2years ago and I would say its in an excellent location. It was fantastic, 5 minutes walk to the nearest shops/restaurants and less than 10 minutes to the beach, then a gentle 20 min stroll into the centre of PP. I would not hesitate to recommend it as having the best of both worlds - peaceful yet everything close by. We did not have a car. Hope this helps.

Yes i just did a location search on all three and Villa Paula, Gotmar/Gommar is definitely the closest to the the Port.

The generation project was upgrading the electrics and drains and phase one has been completed. The Villa is not far from the bypass but is in a fairly quiet road. I am sure you will have a good time.

Please don't worry, the by-pass is not anything like a motorway and the paths either side are very good. Any regeneration work is usually done between October and May to avoid causing annoyance to tourists .

I agree with Sparky and I would think maybe the work won't continue as this year should have been phase 2 and all they have done is put in some more modern lights down one road. As I said earlier the road is not very busy and this villa is on the last stretch with crossings close by
