Request a front or sea-facing balcony for the sun and partial bay views, though the sea may appear only between buildings and trees.
What guests mention
Guests tend to value Villa Singala for its peaceful, intimate feel and handy position close to Port de Pollenca’s waterfront promenade. Friendly, attentive staff receive warm mentions, as do comfortable practical touches such as good showers, useful wardrobe space and balcony views in some rooms. Visitors also like having eateries, bars and a local shop nearby without staying in the busiest part of town. The main limitation is the modestly sized pool, so guests seeking extensive on-site facilities may prefer a larger hotel.
Your stay, step by step

Book early if you need a single room; the hotel has only two.

Request a front or sea-facing balcony for the sun and partial bay views, though the sea may appear only between buildings and trees.

Buy inexpensive deckchairs at Store Forementor’s Sunday-night charity shop and donate them before leaving.
What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Hotel Villa Singala.
Request a balcony room, as not every room has one and the extra outdoor space is worthwhile.
Book a room with a balcony or terrace; the extra outdoor space makes compact rooms feel larger and is worth paying a little more.
Choose a rear, mountain-facing room for broader mountain views and quieter surroundings; rear balconies generally catch morning sun.
Request a front-facing sea-view room with a balcony—preferably top-floor and toward Pine Walk—for afternoon sun; front rooms are quiet and have double beds.
Request an upper-floor room for the best, least-obstructed views, especially if you want a balcony.
Choose a pool-facing room for a larger terrace or balcony, but expect morning rather than afternoon sun.
Start breakfast with the fresh fruit, including melon and strawberries, and plan evening meals elsewhere because the hotel serves none.
Choose a back room for a potentially larger balcony and mountain view, but expect little direct sun until late afternoon and a supermarket across the road.
Book one of the two penthouse suites if available; they are especially spacious and appealing.
Consider a junior suite for extra space and comfort, particularly room 301.
Choose this hotel for a peaceful couples-oriented stay near the beach, with limited attractions for children.
Try Coral restaurant, then walk back along the Pine Walk beside the port.
Try Laroc for gluten-free dining, especially the pizzas, if you need coeliac-friendly options.
Contact Joseph before travelling to discuss your requirements.
Book online early and request your preferred balcony or room position before arrival.
Expect firm beds and request an additional duvet if you prefer a softer sleeping surface.
Keep the curtains closed during the day and use the air conditioning in the evening to keep the room cool.
Consider room 207 for a sunny balcony with a glimpse of the sea.
Consider room 105 for a balcony, but expect restricted sea views.
Ask about room 210, which is slightly larger than standard rooms.
Ask about room 110, which is slightly larger than standard rooms.
Request room 302 for a spacious top-floor junior suite with excellent views.
Book through a TripAdvisor provider rather than using walk-in rates for cheaper pricing.
Book early if you need a single room; the hotel has only two.
Choose a standard room if you do not need a balcony; it can still be comfortable.
Request room 209 or 210 for sea views.
Request room 204 for views of the pine trees and evening sun.
Choose a south-side room for direct sun; north-side rooms do not get direct sunlight.
Skip the Formentor trip if you dislike crowded excursions, as the destination can be dominated by boat trippers.
Avoid buying chilled drinks from the nearby supermarket fridge, which adds €0.50 per drink; use another supermarket instead.
Buy inexpensive deckchairs at Store Forementor’s Sunday-night charity shop and donate them before leaving.
Use the hotel’s free sunbeds when possible, as two beach sunbeds and a parasol cost €22 per day.
Bring beach towels for use at the pool or beach.
Allow 15–20 minutes to walk from the bus station or ferry port, especially in summer heat.
About Hotel Villa Singala
Hotel Villa Singala is the kind of place that wins people over with ease rather than spectacle. Quaint and quietly charming, it has the feel of a well-kept local villa: relaxed, personal and refreshingly low-key. Expect an unhurried base for days spent by the water, with balconies, practical in-room storage and notably good showers among the details guests tend to notice.
It sits near Port de Pollenca’s lovely Pine Walk, around a 15-minute walk from the resort centre. The seafront, cafés, restaurants and bars are within easy reach, while a nearby grocery shop makes beach-day supplies simple. This is a particularly good fit for couples and independent travellers who prefer a peaceful setting to a large, activity-filled resort, but still want the port’s atmosphere close at hand.
Guests often come away describing a genuinely restful break and a hotel they would happily return to. The calm surroundings, welcoming service and convenient position near the promenade earn particular appreciation, with several visitors mentioning sea-facing rooms or balconies. The pool is on the compact side, though, so it is better seen as a cooling-off spot than the centre of the holiday.
