Back to Mallorca:)

And we have been there again for 5 days in January-February 2009:)
This time we stayed in the Hotel Jardin Del Mar.Very good very nice:)We had a room with sea view-also kitchen bedroom and livingroom with balcony;compare with Apartamentos Verdemar this was much nicer:)and price was also good- for 2 people for 5 nights we paid 140pounds!
and..this time we took bus from the airport! Behind texi stop is bus stop-bus no 1 is going to city center to the bus station and as you know from bus station you can take a bus no 102 directly to Santa Ponsa!:)
This hotel offers you 2 swimming pools-outdoor and indoor:)Indoor swimming pool specially at this season is something desirable:)Inside was 30 degrees!!Very nice specially if you can compare it with indoor swimming in some hotel in Malta(but about this later:))
And again we visited the Capital Palma de Mallorca but this time we took the sightsee bus and we saw much more!!:)
Weather was great-not too cold but also not too warm..but very early in the morning and very late afternoon you need to wear a jacket-other part of the day jumper was ok:)
and rain...only for 2 days but still was nice;
Amazing how cheap are cigarettes and alcohol:)
But cheese and bread a little expensive..
Anyway I believe that you may stop in Santa Ponsa and enjoy a lot!:)

How to travel

The best what you can do is to check quite often special offer from Ryanair.You can book a flight even for 1 cent to Palma de Mallorca!!
I did it:)
After season is also very nice and warm in that place like Mallorca, Ibiza, Malta etc. and the different is, you can find a hotel for a really good and cheap price.Also by Ryanair.
And why you should stay in cold and wet country like Ireland or UK during the winter time if you can go to Mallorca?:)
Taxi is good but bus is better:)and cheaper.If you know how to get from the airport to the hotel, or city center why not use the bus?
You can cook :)Not all the time have to go to eat at the restaurant.And believe me, you do not have to buy everything what you will see:)
And before you go, check first and find out more about the place where are you going.
Time to go..:)

Apartamentos Verdemar Santa Ponsa Review

Our stay in October 2008 was great:-)

After landing at the airport in Palma we welcomed the sun!
Taxi drove us to Santa Ponsa where we stopped in Apartamentos Verdemar-it is like 25 km-30 km from the airport and we paid euros 40 .
Could be cheaper:)
But Apartamentos Verdemar proved to be a good choice-very nice, clean and lady at the front desk friendly and reliable.
Our apartment had own kitchen, bathroom and room with balcony.

For us it was good because we could cook ourselves-so if u want to come with a small baby it is perfect place:)

Of course, you can book a room with full board-everything it`s up to you.
On the ground floor was a swimming pool - sun bed only euros 3.50!And do not worry if you do not have a beach towels - in the reception desk you pay euros 20 deposit and you get the towels!Amazing but not all hotels have this service- and I think it is very good!!
Santa Ponsa is very beautiful ,wonderful place-not too big not too small:)You can find there traditional Spanish restaurants and bars and also Restaurant McDonald`s!It is not a joke:)

My favourite is Dutch Restaurant- delicious Lasagne`s and Pizza`s!!On the other side of the street exactly at the corner is located Daniel `s Corner-very nice pub with very good drinks!You can buy a t-shirt there:)

Going down the street from Daniel`s Corner you will find a bus stop-no 102 and 104 goes to Palma;but if I can recommend to you, better take a bus no 102-is faster(going motorway)and it takes 35 -40 minutes. Other bus no 104 is going for all surrounding towns and get to the Capital takes about 90 minutes.
The best for you is go out on the bus station and turn on the left-you will have very nice park on your left side and it is only 5 minutes through the park and you are in the center of Palma:)
On the other side of street there is a monument to man on a horse-going up alley , turn on the left the second alley and continue your way straight up you will get to the Cathedral of Palma.It is only 10-15 minutes from the monument.This is really worth seeing!!
You can take a bus-sightseeing-you will much more:)

And if you want to come back to Santa Ponsa just go to the bus station:)
