Great Location - quiet and close to everything
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009

We had a really good time at Footprints. The location is great - so peaceful - and within easy walking distance of the beautiful Pine Walk and all its restaurants. The pool is quite small and not one you can really swim in (for adults) but it was a blessing in the hot weather just to cool off. The Terrace is lovely and the fact that sliding doors from the villa open up onto it means that you can double the living space which we managed to fill. We had 3 teenage boys with us and they loved the roof terrace - a good place for them to get away from the adults!! There were a few problems with the aircon but they have now been fixed by all accounts. The bedrooms are an adequate size - just big enough for holiday needs. Puerto Pollensa is a beautiful area with the mountains and the sea together. The 'beach' is appeared to be really a harbour - lots of boats moored up etc - with small sandy parts. Great for young children as it is very shallow and doesn't appear to be very tidal. There are lots of sharp rocks in the water though so do wear something on your feet. Overall a lovely holiday in a beautiful location.
Owner's Response: Hi Gingerblue!
Thank you so much for your review of your holiday, and for your kind comments relating to the villa itself you included. We strive to make it a great place to relax and enjoy a stay in. I am so pleased you would it a beautiful location, found it so peaceful and especially noted that it was a benefit to be so close to the sea, Pine Walk and resturants. I'm pleased too the roof terrace worked and the teenages could hang out in private! We designed the re-build of the villa oursleves with our architect before reconstruction, and its great to see the huge sliding doors did the job of making the whole indoor and outdoor spaces work as one.
Just to re-afirm to new interested clients, I do detail the exact size of the pool 3 times on the site, being 8x3m, so would direct anyone interested to decide if they would prefer a really big pool for adults to do lenghts in, they should look to the villas out of town that have a greater level fo space. The downside being of course is being well away from the sea and the local places to walk to, so a car in that case would be totally essential.
Finally, the Pine Walk is famous for its tranquil setting, its little pieces of sand, and places to relax by the sea, so those wanting huge expanses of sand should check out the big resorts in the south. These little beaches rarely get busy, being at the quieter end of the Pine Walk. I've got lots of pics of the area, so only need to ask if you wish to know and see more. The boats mentioned are restricted in length to just private fishing boats and small sail craft, some 30m off shore, and the beaches are protected by a zoning system for safety - no boat can enter. Great for kiddies and safe swimming.
Good tip about the sea floor too - the ebb and flow of the sea is bound to move stones and shells in shore, so common sense when enjoying the sea is great advice. However, the sea life is rich, so hope you and the children enjoyed the creatures in the bay.
Lastly, I'm pleased to report the air con unit was attended to as soon after you kindly advised us - it had simply been run too low in the high temperatures and had been frozen as a consequence. All other 5 units were full operational.
Many thanks!
