Hotel Villa Singala

We stayed at the Hotel Singala for two weeks and found it to be a peaceful, clean, and well-managed small hotel. A true haven if you’re looking for quiet, quality accommodation. The only drawback is the lack of evening meals, which meant dining out every night — something we were prepared for, but the cost came as a shock. Even basic meals for two now start around €40, with €60 easily spent without trying. Sadly, we found Puerto Pollensa had changed dramatically since our last visit nine years ago. The sense of being in Spain has faded. Shops and restaurants speak English by default, and the area feels more like a British/German resort than an authentic Spanish town. However, we did find a few bars with a genuine Spanish feel tucked away from the seafront. Cycling has also become very busy — large, fast-moving groups dominate the roads. As a solo cyclist, I sometimes felt intimidated. The island is groaning under the weight of mass tourism, and it shows. We ran a tourism business in Scotland for over 20 years, so we speak with some experience. Mallorca remains a beautiful island, but Puerto Pollensa no longer holds the charm it once had. This was likely our last visit. ________________________________________

Lovely, small (28 rooms) hotel a little way out of the centre of Puerto Pollensa at the Pine Walk end, one street back - you can see the sea in between the villas across the road. The hotel has been there for quite a few years and has many guests who return year after year. This hotel I would say probably appeals more to the "more mature" (!) guest. The rooms are not large, but are spotlessly clean. They are cleaned every day and fresh, clean towels provided whenever required. Worth paying the extra for a balcony room on the front, definitely. (However, I would agree with comments that the walls are a bit thin - you CAN hear"neighbours" coughing (in our case, endlessly)/snoring through the night.) The staff here were just great - always attentive, always friendly, always there when you need them. Nothing is too much trouble. The hotel serves a varied Continental breakfast, with plenty of choice. It does not serve dinner, but does have a daytime/lunch menu of sandwiches etc. There is also a bar which is open all day until 11pm. There is a small pool with limited space for sunbeds - it didn't really get the sun in October as it's too low in the sky, so we didn't use it. The hotel is just a couple of minutes walk to the Pine Walk/beaches. Beach towels can be rented for €5/week and changed as often as you want to, which was brilliant. It's a good 15-20 minutes walk into the town centre but there is a really nice restaurant, The Store, immediately behind the hotel and there is also a Spar there, which is handy. The restaurant has live music on a Sunday early evening, which is VERY popular and you definitely need to book a few days in advance. Also, Coral Restaurant is about halfway between the hotel and the town centre, one road back, and the popular Voramar 57 is a similar distance on the front (but beware the ill-tempered manageress!). All in all, we would happily stay here again.

Amazing hotel , very friendly staff, extremely comfortable beds! , fabulous breakfast . Fantastic location and 25 metres from the sea and Pine Walks. Will be our hotel of choice for future visits to PP. The hotel is spotless and very well maintained. Thank you we loved our stay.
