We arrived at Hotel Bulevar after a nightmare 2 ½ hour trip from the airport by Urbis bus transfers (don’t use them) best way is to get the ordinary bus No1 to Palma bus station (€1.15) 15 mins, then get a 102 to paguera (€3.05) 35 mins.
We were a bit apprehensive about the hotel knowing it would be mostly Germans there, but it was fine
The chap in reception was very welcoming and spoke perfect English. We checked in and went to our room Which was very nice and clean and had a working air-conditioner.
The hotel is halfway up a quite steep hill about 200 yards from the resort center and the beach. Not only is the hotel German so is the whole of Paguera. We were there for 11 days and only heard an English voice about a dozen times.
all shops and bars are mostly on one main road plus the beach promenade. There are three beaches in Paguera, the nearest one is the busiest , the other two not so, in fact the furthest one from the hotel was mostly empty but only had one coffee bar (€2.40 ripoff)
There are a few music bars in Paguera which made for a few pleasant evenings, but once again all German but a lot of tunes in English..
The nearest music bar is down the road from the hotel on the right and they mostly speak English in there.
Back to the hotel: we didn’t know what to expect in the food department but were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the food supplied (all buffet) even the breakfast was as English as we are ,(plus cakes and salami for the German guests) Only drawback is that at dinner all the drinks are charged for, even water (€1.40).
Only one English channel on tv, bbc news. The public TV’s are all in German except for the one in the bar
Which is occasionally in Spanish.
Speaking of bars, there is only one bar in the hotel which is down by the pool. The bar is well staffed by very attentive staff, you only have to glance their way and they rush over to serve you, they also do the snacks at lunchtime.
Speaking of the pool: The pool is a little on the small side but has ample sunbeds, The Germans (unusually)do not towel up the loungers in the early hours.
All in all a pleasant stay at the BQ Bulevar Hotel Paguera. But the fly in the ointment came after we checked out. We were on the way to the airport and realized that we were a bag missing. I taxied back to the hotel twenty minutes after we left and got a spare key for our room. When I got to the room it was being cleaned,
I asked the cleaner where my bag was and she denied seeing it just pointed to the rubbish bag on her trolly,
Needless to say it was not in there. I went to reception and the girl on duty said there was nothing they could do as after checkout the room was not secure. I can’t even claim on my travel insurance because of that.
Definitely spoiled what had been a delightful holiday, especially as it must have been a staff member that took the bag. Contents of the bag were two brand new Nintendo Dsi XL games machines, pair of D&G sunglasses and one Scrabble game for the DS (in English) The total value was £350.
Moan finished. Still a nice hotel……………………
