On our seventh visit to Puerto Pollensa our family of six had a really enjoyable stay and we would certainly recommend Boquer Way.
Pros:
- Hosts were very efficient and a pleasure to deal with
- The location is excellent - a nice quiet street with plenty of parking close to the Pine Walk
- Plenty of space
- BBQ excellent
- Air conditioning very good
- Wifi excellent
- TV has good selection of channels
- Showers excellent
- Plenty of secure storage of e.g. bikes
Cons:
- The were literally six of every item of crockery and cutlery. That meant that for a family of six we were constantly washing up. It would have been nice to have a few more of these items.
- There was some resentment from owner-occupier residents of children playing in the pool. One English couple were very rude to our children, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere.
- Some of the bed linen was worn, with bleach marks on it, while several of the mattresses and pillows could ideally do with replacing.
- The fridge isn’t particularly cold. I think it may be reaching the end of its natural life.
Overall we had a great time and hopefully our minor criticisms will be taken on board and enable other guests to fully benefit from this lovely apartment.
Other tips:
- If you have a car go up to the first viewpoint on the Formentor road at sunset, a 5 minute drive from the apartment. The views are spectacular.
- The monastery at Luc is worth a visit.
- Tiberi is a fun restaurant with good food and lovely staff (we went twice).
- Puerto Pollensa beach is good for toddlers, but Cala San Vicente is much better for older kids. Worth the 15 minute drive and park at the east beach.
- An early morning walk through the Boquer Valley is a great way to start the day. Don’t be put off by the gates through the deserted farmhouse.
- A climb up the Santuari de la Mare de Déu del Puig is worth the effort.
- Sunday market in Pollensa old town is nice.
