Apartamentos Habitat

“Great place”

Lovely family stay. This was a perfect base for our holiday. Apartment clean , basic , maid service every , pool area great and staff very helpful. Plenty loungers for everyone. Short walk to centre of Porto Pollensa. 25 mins . Great value.

“A Mallorcan holiday at a reasonable price.”

Our first time back since the apartments were refurbished a little while ago and we certainly noticed the difference: the apartments are in better condition, the wifi is now good and both the shower and the air conditioning were efficient. As requested, we had an apartment overlooking the second pool and on a high floor. We heard no noise from anyone around us, apart from the traffic outside but we knew to expect that, anyway. The attractive grounds mean that the place never feels congested or claustrophobic. We do not mind that the complex is some distance from the sea front as it means we can still enjoy a Mallorcan holiday at a reasonable price, especially when we book directly online. Our stay did coincide with 3 days of Storm Alice circling the Balearics and the coast of the Spanish mainland which did make for some dramatic weather conditions, but we did manage to get out and about between the thunderstorms. We did experience power cuts but only for a couple of minutes in each case. On this occasion we had hired a car, but Habitat is a good base to stay even without one with bus stops directly outside for buses to Pollensa on one side and to Alcudia across the road.

“I would book again with a few changes”

Pros:- 1. Amazing staff who go the extra mile. They organised our transfers which worked so well (I booked with booking.com and was messaging them prior to arrival). Great banter on email calling me “a pianist, may my music reach every soul”. Loved that. 2. Sunbeds- LOADS! No matter what time y… more

Pros:- 1. Amazing staff who go the extra mile. They organised our transfers which worked so well (I booked with booking.com and was messaging them prior to arrival). Great banter on email calling me “a pianist, may my music reach every soul”. Loved that. 2. Sunbeds- LOADS! No matter what time you wake up, you can always get enough for your family. What a treat. I’m not being funny but in 2016 I stayed in the fergus hotel 5 mins down the road towards the main road and we had to get up at 7am to get beds. It was so overcrowded and cost relatively twice as much (it’s now called Cabot spa and has had a refurb. I went to have a look and it was even busier than I remembered). 3. Pool view means everyone has one the way the apartments are designed. 4. The best air con ever. 5. Clientele. No scruffy people leaving litter, smoking/ vaping or getting drunk in front of children. Just nice, respectful people of all nationalities being respectful with manners. This is a big one for me, nice to be with people from all nationalities. 6. Cooking facilities are good. You can make pasta, noodles etc on the hob and there’s also a microwave. No oven… so that would be my feedback if you wanted pizza. 7. Location. So this one is a funny one. You get what you pay for. Yes it’s 15 mins walk to the main part with children. But it costs a lot less. I’m fine walking and we had a buggy for the youngest. 8. There’s a supermarket directly opposite. The staff are so warm and helpful. They literally stock everything you could ever imagine. Every women’s thing you might need too. So impressed. Cons:- 1. Please clean the pool. We didn’t see anyone cleaning it over 9 days. There was no smell of chlorine. Two of my family got ear infections. My husband was one of them; to put this into context, he’s not even seen a doctor for 15 years but he needed antibiotics. My eldest son also got an ear infection and the doctor said it was due to going under the water in the pool. Needless to say, he spent the last two days of the holiday in the (air conditioned) room which was a blow. On balance, invest in pool cleaners and I would book again without hesitation. Read my other reviews for the restaurants.

“No frills but fit for purpose.”

Last minute decision to visit PP and prices in Port were outrageous so we decided after 10 years of previously staying to try the Habitat again. Nothing has changed apart from most of the apartments seem to have been sold and private owners moved in. The apartment was clean and shower always hot. It’s definitely a no frills accommodation but pool looked very clean and staff were also very pleasant. Couldn’t get a coffee, Pool table and other kids games we’re all out of order and the once kids club is now a dumping ground for old sunbeds. Although next to main road it was really quiet with everyone respecting other folks privacy. There’s a great convenience store across the road and a few bars which provide entertainment on evenings so if you don’t want to walk into the Port enough to fulfil your needs. We had the benefit of a hired car but because of the apartments housing non holiday makers there were no spaces to park where previous visits there was an abundance of vacant spots. In a nutshell if your on a tight budget and looking for a clean no frills place to stay then the Hàbitat will be more than adequate but don’t expect too much.
