Santa Ponsa

Plan around the bay you want to use

Santa Ponsa is a southwest Mallorca resort to consider for a holiday centred on the beach and nearby restaurants. As with other coastal resorts, the most useful accommodation is the one whose entrance connects to the places you will actually visit. A description covering the whole resort cannot tell you whether the journey from your particular apartment is comfortable with your equipment.

Waterfront distance can conceal a difficult approach

Ask how the route changes between the property and the bay. Look for ramps, steps, crossings and the last approach to the building. A sea-facing apartment can sit above the area in which you want to spend the day. Ask for a video starting from street level and continuing through the lift to the room. Measure the lift’s clear door opening and the space inside rather than relying on a statement that a lift exists.

Choose beach services before choosing a room

If assisted bathing is essential, ask the local tourist service where it is provided for your dates and what needs to be arranged in advance. The best accommodation for that purpose may differ from the best option for evening entertainment. Confirm the route to a suitable toilet and whether your companion can help with the transfer involved. Keep a comfortable alternative plan for days when sea conditions or service availability change.

Match the equipment to the real holiday

Tell a scooter supplier where you will stay and the routes you hope to use. Discuss gradients and storage rather than choosing purely by daily price. A wheelchair user staying in an apartment should also confirm kitchen access, bed approach and bathroom turning space. Arrange the airport vehicle around the chair, its occupant and the luggage together. Before booking, request the exact entrance used by the driver and the person who will receive any hired equipment.

Put the plans together

Use our holiday-apartment checks and flight and transfer planning guide before paying. If you need hired equipment, agree the model, delivery address and replacement arrangements directly with the supplier.
