I would definately recommend Santa Ponsa. I found that there is more nightlife in an area known as the square than in the actual resort centre, which faces the beach.
The square is about 10 minutes walk up the hill to your right as you stand looking out to sea across the beach. It's a circular area full of seats and many bars with entertainment on a stage.
The dolphin show is at Marineland at Palma Nova. Everyone seems to go at dinner time and it gets packed as it isn't very big. Go slightly later say 3 pm . The place will be emptying then and you could make half a dozen tours of the place before it closes at 6.
The bus to Magalluf goes all around the houses and makes you feel sick. It seems like you've gone 10 miles. If you get a taxi, its not expensive and takes minutes.
Pirates is an acrobatic pirate themed show, the early one for kids, the later for adults. It's good but don't expect a fancy meal. Its basically spuds, chicken, a bit of salad, and an Ice cream tub. For our family of 4 it cost about £100 with transport through the tour operator.
I prefer coves to large beaches and there's a beaut just behind the jardin del sol (or is it playa) which is through the square, out the other side and round a short cliff top path. It's only small, but very quiet and great for bathing with cliffs behind you.

Hiya Loopy :wink:
been to Santa Ponsa a couple of times and love the place, there is a nice "Little Beach" maybe half a mile away from the main strip, not crowded and beautiful.

Dont know whether you've been to it but we loved the Son Amar show its an ex mansion that has seats for over 2.000 guests and must rate as the best show I've ever seen, go there, you'll love it. :wink:

What is this Son Amar show??

Where is it on, what is it about and how much does it cost?

TA!

Loopy,
believe me, this will be one of the best shows you are ever likely to see, I think we payed £25:00p..ish :D ...you get picked up by coach and taken into the middle of the island....God knows where? :D

many many people alighting from coaches as you pull up and then enter the place, loads of pigs being spit roasted in the court yard just before you enter the beautiful building.....

a bottle of wine each and plenty of food to start, all manner of acts, the spanish dancers ( that I thought would be a bit of a bore ) were simply superb. :wink:

Try a search for it, the Drifters and a fantastic magician among others were on when we went, well worth the money. :wink:

Hi there,

I am looking at booking a holiday to Majorca next summer and can't decide on which resort. There will be 3 children aged 8, 3, and 11 months. Both Santa Ponsa and Puerto Pollensa sound great, but could someone please give me some info. We dont want a resort that is too quiet, somewhere with a few lively bars would be fine. I look forward to your replies. :D

to be honest puero pollensa is not as lively as santa ponsa

pollensa is lovely it has a lovely relax feel and is alitle more up market.
there are some lovley fish restaurants a few english bars and down the small streets some nice bars and restaurants

i went a year a go with my whole family including a teen and a younger one of 4
if you fancy pollensa i recommend a brill hotel the thomson superfamily one

In my opinion no comparison p.p. every time.It is a pretty friendly town with great beaches,pretty mountain views and a big marina.the square on a night is lively with plenty of bars and resteraunts and all the locals hang out there.
just a bus ride away is alcudia town with its pretty cobbled streets and roman ruins.there is a weekly market there.
again a bus ride away is c an picafort long sandy beach with a lovely walk to the new marina,plenty of shops and bars.
I was at santa ponsa 2 weeks ago for 4 days and that was 4 days to long.great if you are a celtic supporter and want to drink lager all day and night then get loud rowdy and drunk.the resort was dirty and not at all friendly towards the english.blackpool in the sun ,I will not be going back there.

That link you posted convinced me better than the website for the show!!!!
I think I will give it a chance, ha ha

So how far from Santa Ponsa is it? Am I better to book it trough the reps or is it a DIY job???

Also, I have heard a lot on 'the square' looking forward to visiting there!!!

Thanks a lot for all your help mate!!
