Hi

I would recommend Santa Ponsa - lively but not as busy as Magaluf.

We took our 5 year old last June and we are going again this year. We had a great time and there was loads for him and us to do. Nice beach with pedalos etc. Loads of child friendly bars - Burlington Berties which had a kids club - you can sit and have a drink whilst kids are entertained. Scots Corner had a couple of bouncy castles and things for kids to do. Wide selection of places to eat from Burger King & McDonalds to traditonal english pub grub, mexican, chinese, indian, etc etc etc

Great entertainment in The Square which is located at the quieter end of SP in an area called Costa de la Calma - every night there is family entertainment from 8.30 to 11.30 - face painting, kids games, disco - every night a different tribute band is on stage in the centre of the square - Madonna, Westlife, Robbie Williams, Abba etc - you just sit outside which ever bar you want and you can watch the entertainment - we felt this area was safe for kids and were happy to let our son mix with the other kids there.

There are a couple of little parks with play equipment in SP- but we were quite lucky as our apartments had a kids play area with swings, wendy houses, slide, climbing frame, football pitch, snooker and a childs pool, so during the day we saw very little of our son!!

Have a look at http://www.santa-ponsa.com this has maps and lists of apartments, bars & restaurants etc plus loads of info about the area.

SP is only about 10 mins drive away from 2 massive water parks - Western Water Park & Aqualand. Also in Magaluf is The Pirates Adventure and about 20 mins drive away is Marineland.

Have a look at the SP web site and have a look at all the review on Holiday Truths.

We love Santa Ponsa and cant wait to go back in June. If you want any more info or have any questions just send me a pm.

Hiya!
We are going to Majorca for the first time this year and are going DIY.
We have booked a private apartment in Cala Millor for last 2 weeks of August for £225 per week. We also have kids who will be 7 & 5.
Not only is the price fantastic, the area is geared up for families, with no yobbish culture etc.
Beach is great for kids, and area is full of eating and drinking establishments of all tastes, plus area is flat!
Booked via INVALID URL typed in Majorca, then Cala Millor.
English owner still has vacancies, and can provide taxi transfers at better rates.

Many thanks for the info, Santa Ponsa seems ideal!
Now can anyone recommend an apartment to let? Last two weeks in June!

Try http://www.holidayrentals.co.uk for an excellent selection
or take a look at the Private Rentals section of this site.

Puerto Pollensa meets all your requirements & it's very beautiful. There are loads of different cafes & restaurants & even better several are along the pedestrianised front so that you can sit & watch the world go buy while your kids dig up the sand. There's a brilliant description of the atmosphere here http://www.sundayherald.com/21762
Once you holiday there you'll be going back every year... & there are loads of places to rent.
