The problems we encountered were with badly behaved British children and teenagers, who constantly ran around the hotel, daytime and evening time with no regard or respect for other hotel guests. The parents, of course, were not bothered about their unruly offspring because they were not bothering them! We found it impossible to stay and watch the entertainment as the children running around, screaming and shouting was not our idea of fun!
The other problem we had was due to the fact that we arrived on a late flight and left on a late flight. The "courtesy room" which is not air conditioned, had to be pre-booked, the hotel would only allow 15 minutes per person, to shower, dress, make up, etc. I defy any lady to shower, make up, blow hair and dress in 15 minutes! Also, the hotel does not tell you until you go to take your shower that they do not provide towels once you have vacated your room....so be prepared...if you arrive on a late flight and you know you are leaving on a late flight you need to "obtain" towels or you will not have a towel for your shower before returning home!

But apart from that I have nothing good to say the food was terrible especially breakfast, the waitress staff were very miserable and unfriendly they even took your plates away from infront of you before you had finished. The food was never hot only warm I am surprised we got away with out getting a spanish tummy but we did. As the food containers were emptying they would bring out a fresh one walk althrough the resturant with it uncovered and then tip what ever food was left in the existing container on top of the new one and mix it around.
On a Monday and Thursday evening then have a bar b que in the pool bar you have to book so they know how many are going. We booked for 8pm when we got to the pool bar there was not smell of food cooking at all, we were asked if we would like steak or fish as you could only have one or the other. We had steak but for the first course could have some salad which we did. There was a basket on the table with 2 rolls in but no butter so I asked the waitress politely for some and she said it is over there and pointed to a table so we had to get our own. When we had finished the salad course she came and took the dirty plates away but left the dirty cutlery as she said we had to use them again. When the steak arrived it was like a piece of leather which had obviously been cooked earlier and left in a container as it had gone all dry and stale looking, there was a small jacket potato wrapped in foil and a portion of boiled mixed vegetables which had lost there colour due to over cooking, when desert arrived it was a piece of cake with a scoop of ice cream and a plate with a banana, orange and a peach on it. You can tell how bad it was the lady on the next table to us took a photo of it she was so disgusted.
I can honestly say that we will never go to this hotel again and if I were you I would seriously consider another hotel.

There are many people from Britain who also go, and have been many times connoting the success and popularity of the place. As I got older, I loved the hotel just as much as I did as a child, but realised that although the area seems like a quiet family place, late at night there are certain clubs and bars that really appeal to teenagers, where the locals go to too, and here you can really enjoy yourself as a teenager while you experience the real spainsh culture too.
However these places although in walking distance, are far away enough to keep the hotel quiet and relaxing, and you would never guess how good the night life is around.
Decor is beautiful, especially since the whole place was refurbished in 2003, and rooms are always sparkly clean. Food is always delicious, and althoug it is in a buffet style, this only means that the selection is greater, and there is always something for everyone, whether thats traditional spanish dishes, fresh salads, fruit and vegentables, chips and other food for children, then soups, and roasts always piping hot. The breakfasts and deserts are just as tasty, and the queue for the restaurant really is just 5 minutes long at all times.
You are right next to the beach here, and many coaches and buses are also right next to the resort, offering cheap visits to extraordinary places.
The hotel has the most amazing staff, and I have always felt extremelt welcome, and they will always class you as one of their 'amigos'!The entertainers are lively, funny and always friendly, and in the evenings always organise good music and shows for people of all ages. The waiters are also accomodating, cheerful and chatty (although since my boyfriend is one of the waiters I may be slightly biased!)I am now 19 and still visiting the hotel every summer, and cannot say enough about it, you could njot wish to go to a better place...
I guarantee a trip to Pollensa Park will be your best holiday yet...visit and find out for yourself!!

The food was nice although if your children only eat burgers and nuggets etc they will spend two weeks living on chips! There were some queues but they didn't last too long and we managed to avoid them. The staff were always friendly and helpful and the hotel was nice and clean with a nice large pool although it's very cold at this time of year !! The resort of Puerto pollensa is lovely with a lovely beach which is a very short walk from the hotel. Overall a nice hotel but it shouldn't be advertised as "ideal for families" younger kids are ok if the kids club is running but there is nothing for teenagers. We would go again but without the kids ( we should be so lucky !!!!!)

rooms were adaquate apart the the mould down our walls,no television,no hairdryer (or none to hire )
Meal times were an absolute joke,every morning every night 15 minute queues to get in the so called restaurant,food buffet style based on 2 food islands restaurant closing at 8.45pm but at 8.00pm staff are clearing the food from one island and putting it in the same trays as the other food on the other island including the meat (this seriously needs looking at at as the meat and other goods were always luke warm)the whole thing resembled a service station on the motorway.choice of desserts ranged from ice cream to ice cream (but a different flavour everynight)breakfast times the same luke warm food ,milk left in its original plastic container and tea you get for yourself from a kenco type machine.Entertainment if any was rubbish apart from 1 night but entertainment ranges from ballroom dancing to a pub quiz or big prize bingo ,so big if you win you can only spend the money in the hotel (on what ? )If you have already booked than eat out and don't risk food poisioning
apart from the big size pool this hotel should be avoided although the area is beautiful
