please please can anyone help?
This is our first holiday abroad for years. We cannot make our mind up which resort to choose.
there are only two of us going, and we are looking for a nice resort that isnt too busy in Majorca
we have looked at puerto pollensa and Cala d'or
cala d'or looks nicer in the esmeralda beach area, and we almost booked the cala azul - but from the reports it does seem more family orientated.
which do you think would be more suitable?
PP has a long flat prom, excellent for walking. The town is fairly compact but has everything in it for most people ( no kid's fairs, amusements or water parks). The south beach is a long sandy beach, excellent for swimming, while the north beach off of the Pine Walk is good for resting on one of the boat-slips, dangling your feet in the water and looking at the stunning view. The town is busy without being overly crowded and there are lots of excellent restaurants and bars of every variety. The shop-aholics will also find lots to interest them. The pedestrian area leading to the Pine Walk is a favourite drink and people-watch spot, or for a meal in the evening.
There is a regular bus service to surrounding areas and to Palma. Pollensa town is well worth a visit, the centre dates from the 17th century and there is the famous Calvari steps, from the top of which you can look across the north east of the island. If you want to hire a car the roads are safe and excellent.
Boat trips run from the harbour, an excellent trip is the boat out to Formentor beach and back by bus (no bus on a Sunday). This gives the best of sea views going out and mountains coming back.
There is a market in the square every Wednesday morning, or in Pollensa and Alcudia on a Sunday morning.
