Has anyone got some information about Santa Ponsa, Majorca? |
Travel Info We are going to Santa Ponsa, Majorca this summer and would like to know about the resort and may be staying at the Ray Don Jaime Hotel. Thank you. Travel Tips Well done you for chosing Santa Ponsa for your holiday- it's a great place for a holiday. The Rey Don Jaime is an excellenet place to stay. Its a 3 star but a very decent 3 star hotel. Reviews are here for your hotel: http://www.tripadvisor.com/hotel_review-... The resort of Santa Ponsa neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf, and is on the south west coast of Majorca approximately 12 mls west of Palma. Making the trip into Palma for either shopping or sightseeing is fairly easy by public transport. Every 35 minutes throughout the day, buses stop in Santa Ponsa and go through the resorts of Magaluf, and Palma Nova. You'll pass Marineland on the way. It works out at around 4.50鈧?per person each way. Santa Ponsa has a very strong Celtic theme and has become very popular with both Irish and Scottish visitors. In response to this market, a large number of both Irish and Scottish themed bars and restaurant have opened in the town. The main beach is reasonably large, and has been extended with imported sand. Even so, in high season it can still become very crowded due to its popularity with both tourists and locals alike. If you wish to escape from the crowds, there is a smaller beach set in its own sheltered cove about 15 minutes walk away which can be reached from the Avda. Rei Jaume I. Both beaches have the usual facilities expected of a modern resort, along with a good variety of water sports equipment available for hire. Swimming in the bay is generally quite safe with no strong currents, and fairly shallow waters, however, care must always be exerted when the flag system is in operation. Regular boat trips along the south west coast operate from both the main beach and marina at Santa Ponsa, at around 拢10 per head. The boats are all quite modern, with both a small bar and toilet facilities onboard. On most trips the captain will usually stop for about 30 minutes giving you the chance to dive or jump off the back of the boat and cool off in the sea. Santa Ponsa has quite a wide selection of cafes, bars and restaurants and excellent facilities for visitors on self catering arrangements. Many supermarkets now also stock readily recognisable UK branded goods, although in many cases the prices charged may be higher than those you would expect to pay at home. Although if you don't like the price, you don't have to buy. The resort really comes alive in the early evening, but is never in the same league of its neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf. Although, from the size of the Restaurants and Bars pages, you will quickly realise that Santa Ponsa has an abundance of bars, restaurants, and live music venues, catering for families with children. All things considered, the town is cheerful, easy going and is essentially a family resort. Have a great time Source(s): http://www.majorca-mallorca.co.uk/santa_...
