" Pollensa - Loved it "
Submitted By: Holly & Paul
Having recently returned from our first holiday away, I can say Hobby Club and Puerto Pollensa met and exceeded our expectations,
Set in the fore front of the mountains and a stones throw from the sandy beach, Hobby club is situated in the most amazing place so very quiet and peaceful.The locals are very friendly and English is widely spoken,
On Arrival at reception to the Hobby Club, we were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly member of staff. The check in process was so very very easy and organised they knew who we were and was expecting our arrival.
The room was all you really need if going self catering, there is a Kitchen,Lounge,Bathroom,Bedroom and Balcony.there was Plenty of space available for all your shorts and flip flops ;) The air con came in very handy as well, the highest temp when we were there was a blistering 37 Degrees.
The Hobby club grounds were not massive but just big enough to hold a pool and a small bar and snack area. The Pool was lovely with a separate area for the children to play in without disturbing the adults, there was ample sunbeds available for everyone
The food from the Hobby Club Bar was simple snack food for during the day. If you want to have a lovely evening meal i would Highly reccomend Tango, which is a short walk down the beach ( in the direction of Alcudia) I would say this was some of the best food i have EVER had. There is lots of bars along the road which you can grab some food in and if you walk towards Pollensa park hotel there is a English bar which has entertainment every night.
the only bad point i would have is that there seemed to be a infestation of Ants on the balcony. but im sure if we had said something then it would have got sorted.
Top tips and things you must see.
1, Go to Tango amazing food
2, walk down to the square and the pine walk
3, the nearest cash point is in the foyer of pollensa park hotel.
4, Keep your eye out for the yellow sea plane
To surmise i would highly recommend The Hobby Club and Pollensa this place is not for you if you want to see a club on every corner and drink alcohol until your eyes bleed, it is a quiet place with lots of culture. If your looking for somewhere to relax away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you
Loved our Holiday and will be back to the Hobby Club one day

" first abroad trip with the children "
Submitted By: lindamortimer
My husband and i and our two children aged 5 & 8 stayed at hobby club for 1 week. Nice looking from the outside just across the road from a lovely beach. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool was quite cold but was never busy and could always get a bed and as it is a uk only hotel no leaving of the towels on the sunbeds. We did have 2 cloudy days which with 2 children was quite difficult to find things to do. Food at Hobby was nice and resonably priced, food elsewhere was very expensive between £50 & £80 for main meal for 4. There are some nice restaurants in the square about 15 mins walk, Tex Mex was the best restaurant we found lovely food and service was brilliant. Also a pizza bar on the beach was very nice, but the BBQ/Grill the other end of the road wasnt that good expensive, food not brilliant and service was awful waited ages. A good night out for adults and children is the pirates show it was £161 for the 4 of us but we all really enjoyed it, we booked this with our rep and this included transport, meals and drinks. if you are planning to spend alot of time on the beach then take your own parasol as parasol and sunbed were 11 euros a day. Would definatley go again.
Advice: beautiful beach nice and quiet
Activities: Tex Mex in the square and the pirate show and the pedelos

" Hobby Club "
Submitted By: samandmoll
My daughter (12) and I spent a week in Puerto Pollensa; we stayed at the Hobby Club Apartments. We were delighted with the accommodation; it was very clean, room maids daily. The reception and bar staff were extremely pleasent and friendly. The grounds were kept clean, and the gardens trimmed.
Our First Choice representative was helpful at all times and usually on the premises if needed.
When out and about my daughter and I felt very safe and not at all intimidated.
My only advice to potential self catering visitors would be; stay away from the Spar,it is extremely expensive. There is a supermarket much cheaper and only a 15 min walk.

" View From Appt. "
Submitted By: nigsy116
second time we have stayed in Mallorca (Me, Wife and 7yr old son), last time was August 2007 in Alcudia, so was not sure what to expect this time of year, we went the last week of October, and had never been to Pollenca before.
we were not disapointed.
The appartments were spotlesly clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful even though it was the end of the season (They closed the day we left) and there were only 5 appts. occupied.
The Hobby Clubs location is excellent, just across the road from the long beach and sea. It is about a 15 min level walk from the main resort centre and main port area.
There are a few good restarunts next door to the appt. complex, but a short walk to the back streets of the resort offer much more, especially if you enjoy authentic Mallorquian food. For those of you who don't, the usual food is on offer in the resort centre with an excellent "tex-mex" restaurant on the harbour front, alongside some great tappas bars. If you want something a bit more fancy to eat, "Stay" restaraunt on the harbour is an absoloute must, excellent childs menu and the quality of the food was superb.
Bus links to the rest of the Island are very good, with a stop less that 5 mins from the Hobby club, with a service every 15mins to Alcudia and C'an Piccafort and around every 1/2 hour to formentor and Pollenca Town.
The only comment I do have is that we went the last week in October, the last week of the season, and many places were closed or visably closing (especially the numerous Spar shops), and the beach was slowly cleared during the week of loungers and parasolls etc, so by Thursday there was just bare sand.
You also take your chance with the weather this time of the year, so three days of sunshine, days overcast and 1 day of torrential rain and a mighty electrical storm that took out the power to the whole town on wednesday afternoon.
Overall a very enjoyable holiday, the Hobby club is excellent and we are looking to go back in the Summer holidays in 2009.

" Just returned from the Hobby Club... "
Submitted By: Mr S Hoult
Just returned from the Hobby Club Apartments. Very impressed with the accomodation. Yes they are basic but thet are spacious and clean and contain everything you need. The air conditioning was alao a welcome relief from a hard day in the sun. Apartments now contain flat screen T.V's with a selection of British channels including CeeBeebies for the kids.
The staff at the hobby Club are extremely friendly and helpful and the general atmosphere around the pool and hotel was great. There are plenty of sunbeds available around the pool and you didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn to reserve a bed for the day. OK people were reserving the prime position sunbeds at 9am when the pool opened but you could still get a sunbed by the pool which had the sun til about 4pm with no problem at all. The Spar shop next door was a little more expensive than some of the other supermarkets furthur up the road but not extortionately priced. Besides they did fantastic fresh croissants and baguettes which were very tasty. The measure of the Hobby Club Apartments is that a lot of guest were 2nd or 3rd time in a row returnees. That to me says a lot. We shall definately look to return in 2009.

" We stayed at the Hobby Club for 1... "
Submitted By: Mrs J SHINTON
We stayed at the Hobby Club for 1 week in the middle of July and i must say it wasn't as busy as we expected. There was always a few people putting towels on sun loungers at 9am by the pool but there were still enough to go around.
All the staff were extremley helpful, the food in the bar was reasonably cheap and nice. The apartments were big enough for us (mom, dad and 11 and 14 year old), hairdryer in the apartment and the air conditioning was very effective as it was rather warm!!!. We requested and payed for a pool view which we got but also we had a view of the sea with this came a little road noise (when the door is shut there is no noise).
We hired a car from Europcar for 3 days and i would certainly recommend this, we drove up into the mountains and into other parts of Mallorca including Callor Millor/Bona.
Puerto Pollensa itself is very nice but we found we needed somewhere else to go after a couple of days.
The juice bar up in the main town on the front is very nice they do light snacks and it is very reasonable, however the Indian restaurant is over priced and not very nice (they tried to charge us for 3 items we did not have so check your bill carefully if you go there).
All in all a really nice area, really nice apartments but just not much to do close by so hire a car.

" I have just returned from a weeks... "
Submitted By: Ms K Lloyd
I have just returned from a weeks stay @ the hobby club and must say I was very pleasantly suprised. The apartments themselves were a good size and kept lovely & clean. Although my apartment was overlooking the road, the view of the beach (directly across the road) more than compensated for it!
The weather whilst we were there was fabulous and although it was high season, we never struggled to get a lounger by the pool (and there was 6 of us!). The pool & loungers were cleaned every night by the staff who were the friendliest I have ever experienced in a spanish hotel.
The beach was cleaned nightly and again plenty of sunbeds available as well as pedalos & parachute rides.
The port itself was about twenty min walk away, which was a nice flat stroll along the wide pavement or the beach. In town there is no shortage of places to eat and the square is a lovely bustling place to eat, watch sport on the outdoor widescreen tv's or to just sit & watch the world go by.
Overall, Pollenca felt quite a safe place and housed a variety of agegroups (no stag do's or gangs on the lash!!) I had 2 teenagers, an 11 year old & a 7 year old and they all enjoyed the town & the yachts in the port!
I would not hestiate in recommending the hobby club to anyone wanting a relaxing break and I for one would return here tomorrow!! (I wish!!!) 10/10 for value for money

Lovely, clean apartments and we had a fantastic view overlooking the pool and the beach. Beach just across the road and short walk to the main centre and marina. Didnt like Tex Mex - chips stone cold and burger only just cooked but plenty of other places to eat. Good bus service to Alcudia - 15 minutes around the coast.
Lovely holiday.

Submitted By: Mrs B McCarthy
July 07 was our 3rd holiday in the Hobby Club. Our daughters aged 12 and 15 love it as much as we do and always want to go back there. The cleanliness is second to none and the staff are brilliant, they could give lessons to people in other places we have been to. Unfortunately, Jaime was not there but in the Pollensa Park Hotel this year and he was a great loss to the Hobby Club despite how brilliant Vanessa and the other staff are. We have booked to return this July 08 and would love to see him re-installed. With everything at your fingertips, beach, shops and restaurants we would advise anyone to go there. Be sure to eat at The Galleon, a bit more pricey than avg but excellent and The Swallow, great food, fantastic value. Enjoy!!

" Apartments were great for the money.... "
Submitted By: Mr R Pettet
Apartments were great for the money. Basic but clean with lots of space. One caveat to all this is that Puerto de Pollensa is full of young families, i.e. screaming under-2s, and Hobby Club seemed to house most of them.

" Just got back from a wonderful week... "
Submitted By: Mrs The Dean Family
Just got back from a wonderful week at the Hobby club apartments the resort was clean and very pretty ideal for families with no groups of drunken males and females it was also full of Spanish on holiday.
Excellent places to eat... avoid the church square as too touristy with bland menus.. we went for anywhere we saw the Spanish eating and was not disappointed paella great from Galleon, rustic food from La Golita and our top favourite was Las Zarzales where the food is to die for and the staff are the best go for the pork and prawns you won’t be disappointed.
The Hobby club was very clean we had a road room which we loved as we had a sea view and it was not noisy at all as it is the quiet road at the side of the hotel.
The pool was clean and not packed though we were surprised to see that even though this is totally British clientele staying there, some people still seemed to want to preserve their sunbeds with towels at the crack of dawn even though there was plenty of spaces available. The staff were the friendliest we have come across and could not do more for you and even better if you want to practise your Spanish on them! the beach is literally over the road with lovely clear sea and soft white sand loads of sunbeds too so lots of space.
The spar shop is next door to the apartments and even though some people have said it is more expensive than the larger one at the edge of town, why waste your holiday traipsing around for best buy food when they stock all that you need and more and it’s not that pricey.. come on your on holiday!! they also do filled baguettes and lovely cakes and pastries from the bakery and best of all try their hot out of the oven croissants in the morning though the apartment breakfast we found very good also.
We had a lovely flight in and out and the resort rep was lovely and not pushy at all so all in all we will go back and would highly recommend this accommodation the resort and first choice.

" We have never been to Puerto Pollensa... "
Submitted By: Miss J Walton
We have never been to Puerto Pollensa before but travel abroad on holiday often. We were a party of four, two adults and two children aged seven and four.
The apartments at the Hobby club complex were fantastic and beautifully clean. The staff are friendly,efficient and very helpful.
The pool is lovely with plenty of sunbeds. The beach is just across the road and that is lovely too.
Overall it was a fantastic holiday with plenty of wonderful restaurants and I can understand why so many people stay year after year. We will be going again next year.

I don't want to praise it to highly as I'd like to keep it secret so we can return next year and not find it fully booked!!
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday, but not completely isolated from the world this is it.
Advice: Quiet and lovely town - No rowdy "Brittish Bars" and the most child friendly beach
Activities: LLanaires Restaurant, see you again next year.
Good for: Beach
