Hoposa Bahia

My wife and I have just returned from a very enjoyable 2 night stay in Hotel Bahia. The location is second to none, front line on the pinewalk and pretty central for everything that we wanted to do. We had booked a superior room with sea view and had hoped for a high floor with uninterrupted sea views. On arrival we were allocated a first floor room, with a huge balcony that also included 2 sun loungers. My initial disappointment of being right above the restaurant and beach entrance saw us request a potential change of room and it was only then that we learned that there were in fact only 2 sea view superior rooms, ours and the one above so a move wasn’t possible. The Hotel did offer us a standard room on the 3rd floor with a much smaller balcony but as we weren’t able to actually view that room before committing to any swap we decided to just tough it out! And, ultimately I’m glad that we did. The bedroom was airy, with very high ceilings and excellent air conditioning. The bed was both huge and very comfortable and cupboard/drawer space was adequate. There is also a decent sized fridge which I utilised well throughout our stay. And also a free to use safe. The shower/toilet room was also roomy and although we had an ongoing issue with the seal on the shower door this wasn’t as major problem – just had to dry the floor a bit after each shower! The balcony received the morning sun from just after 7.00am until around 3.00pm. perhaps the most memorable part of my stay will be the fantastic breakfasts each morning. There was a really good selection of cooked meats, cheeses, fish, fruit, cereals, hot food (eggs, sausage, hash browns, etc) and pastries/cakes. Along with 2 coffee machines and supplies of various juices, all regularly replenished. And with many of the breakfast tables outside adjacent to the beach it really made for a great start to each day. All members of the team, from the chefs and waiters, to the barmen, cleaners and reception staff were so friendly and helpful, creating a really chilled out atmosphere with nothing being too much bother. For anyone looking for somewhere special to stay in Puerto de Pollensa, the Hotel Bahia is definitely worth considering.

This hotel is small but lovely. The location is perfect, a few steps away from the lovely beach along the pine walk. The breakfast was incredible, everything you could think of was available, never have we had such a good selection anywhere. We weren’t able to book a room with a sea view or balcony but had emailed to request a cancellation. The hotel reception could not have been more friendly and we ended up with a balcony. Nothing was too much trouble for the reception staff, they go above and beyond, in particular Luciana. What a fabulous young lady she was. Gave us tips and help on the area and always had time. She is an absolute credit to the hotel. Puerto Pollenca is a fabulous resort. So peaceful yet everything was on the doorstep, restaurants, bars, shops, little supermarkets. The beach was spotlessly clean and plenty of shade under the pine trees. It’s sectioned into little areas along the strip and often felt like you were on a private beach. Sparklingly clear water. Great market in the square on Wednesdays. Easy buses to Pollenca old town (tap in and out…. twice for two travellers). Visit the 4 beaches on the bus from the old town, only 15 mins away. They are in Cala Sant Vicenc and all next to each other, a few mins walk from each other. We took a ferry (30mins) to the beach at Formentor…. Very busy and windy, the first ferry leaves at 11am so you can’t get an early space on the beach. We left early to come back. A good idea is to join the Facebook group called I love Puerto Pollenca, loads of tips, we would have done this before we left had we known about it. Overall it was just the best holiday, we knew on the first day that we would be back many times!

This is a great boutique hotel located in a fantastic spot on the pine walk. We have been numerous years and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Breakfast is a great experience with different choices each day . The restaurant is busy for both lunch & dinner with a good choice of food. You can have lunch & dinner and watch the sea only a few steps away. Sea view rooms can offer spectacular views of the bay and if you’re lucky enough to get a balcony room waking up is like another day in paradise x
