Club Del Sol Hotel & Apartments, Port de Pollenca

Take the regular bus from outside the hotel to nearby resorts, beaches, Puerto Pollensa and Alcúdia.

Request a room away from the main pool, stage, Mo Club and bar to reduce evening entertainment noise.

Pre-book evening taxis, as getting one back to the hotel can be difficult; taxis are often more convenient than buses.

Reserve a main-pool sunbed early, or use the quieter pools, especially block 6, where beds are easier to find.

Request a high or top-floor room for better views, more privacy and, on top floors, a private sun terrace.

Eat at Hideaway restaurant next door for excellent food, a varied menu and better value than the hotel restaurant.

Hire a car for flexible sightseeing, including the mountain road to Soller, or rent one by the day in town.

Request a ground-floor room near the pool, especially in blocks 3, 5 or 6, for easy access.

Check bus times and track services on Google Maps, as buses can run a few minutes late or arrive irregularly.

Choose block 2 away from the main pool for a quieter location, despite its proximity to the children’s pool.

Request a room overlooking the main pool—Block 4 junior suites offer sea views and balcony sun, while top-floor rooms can be quiet.

Expect the outdoor pools to be unheated and chilly outside midsummer; under-18s cannot use the indoor wellness-centre pool.

Choose half board or all-inclusive if you want to control food costs, as non-inclusive meals and extras can become expensive.

Book bikes from the onsite shop early, then use the bike-friendly roads toward Port de Pollenca or Alcúdia.

Use the free onsite parking if driving, or catch buses from directly outside to Puerto Pollensa and Alcúdia.

Choose a sea-facing or inward-facing pool-view room for the best outlook, but expect more noise near the pool in peak season.

Allow for a long walk to town along a busy road, or use the frequent buses instead.

Bring your own Nespresso or coffee pods, as the onsite shop charges more for them.

Choose a refurbished suite in block 4 for updated furnishings and a quieter setting.

Choose block 6’s top floor toward the main road for views of Port de Pollença and Alcudia, but avoid it if absolute quiet is essential.

Choose block 5 or 6 for quieter rooms toward the back of the complex.

Book the spa at least two days ahead, and make time to use it during your stay.

Request a refurbished room and avoid Block A, whose first-floor rooms are not refurbished and have no lift.

Use the onsite mini-market for convenience, but buy groceries in town for lower prices.

Book restaurants ahead, particularly when visiting on Sunday market day or relying on evening transport.

Take a large mug if you like tea or coffee, because the hotel provides only small cups.

Download the Mallorca cab app before arrival, especially for busy Sundays and returning from Eroski Centre.

Try the outdoor pool restaurant’s à la carte menu, allowing extra time around 2pm because fresh food takes longer.

Arrive for breakfast early to avoid waits of up to 20 minutes.

Book a junior suite if you want more space, and confirm whether an all-inclusive package is available.

Use a contactless card on local buses, tapping once when boarding for each passenger and once when getting off.

Avoid ground-floor rooms with toddlers because the patios are not enclosed; choose a first- or second-floor room for extra privacy.

Walk about 20 minutes to the sandy beach, or cross the road for a quieter, more beautiful pebble beach.

Request Block 3 for easy access to reception, bar, restaurant, and pool without being too close to the noise.

Avoid studio rooms.

Request Block 2 near the splash pool for a relatively quiet location.

Avoid school-holiday weeks if you want a quieter, more adult-focused stay.

Travel with Jet2 if you want a package with transfers included.

Take a taxi from reception to Eroski Centre for self-catering supplies, and arrange the return journey in advance.

Bring antihistamines, hydrocortisone cream and paracetamol to treat mosquito bites.

Bring €10 for the reception towel deposit, which is refunded when the towels are returned.

Keep the air conditioning switched on while out, as it is not especially powerful and requires a card-sized activation card.

Use the self-service laundry, which costs €4.

Compare bike rentals in Puerto Pollensa if the onsite options do not suit you.

Join the entertainment activities, taking breaks between sessions to enjoy the programme without overdoing it.

Tell reception about specific room preferences, such as a high floor, quieter area or secure bike storage; staff can often accommodate requests.

Mention mobility requirements when booking so the hotel can arrange a suitable room.

Confirm the layout before booking, as advertised two-bedroom rooms may consist of one bedroom plus a pull-out sofa bed.

Avoid block 1 if you want quiet, as its rooms are above the bar.

Request a third-floor sea-view room if available.

Speak to the kitchen as soon as you arrive if anyone in your family has a food allergy.

Take bus 322 to Alcúdia or Port de Pollenca from the stop outside the hotel.

Do not try to book interconnecting rooms; they do not exist.
