There will be no reversal of the renewal and market repositioning of Magalluf: hoteliers and town hall are agreed on this. Another presentation for the "New Magalluf" was given on Thursday, one to highlight the reconstruction of the Jamaica hotel and the reopening of the renovated Melia Antillas. Both these projects come under the project for quality improvement that Melia Hotels International refers to as "Calvia Beach"; once the Jamaica has been rebuilt there will have been an investment of some 200 million euros over five years.

Ha-ha, - if it was designed to be funny. Otherwise yet more fictional nonsense for political benefit somewhere.
''The new Magaluf'',that's a laugh,most of it is the same concrete jungle with the same muggers,drug dealers,pimps and prostitutes,bar owners who are only interested in selling people as much alcohol as they can without giving a damn about the consequences,booze cruises et al,building a few new hotels won't change any of that or the fact that most of the tourists in the summer months are young people who go there for a big p**s up and a s**g.
The hotels are upgrading. The regeneration of the road paralleling the seafront is a terrible grey concrete mess. Why cannot Calvia spend their money wisely and make it look pretty, instead of a prison, harsh feel about it. A total wasted opportunity. There does seem to be no direction at all for the regeneration, being done in pockets. I also hear Calvia Council have been dreadful in the renegotiation of planning permissions and design for the new hotel. I am not a fan of "Sol" either but why oppose plans to make it trendy and modern, with roof top swimming pools and bars etc.
I notice that the word "SAFE" is used in this article. Tell the people that are mugged every night that the resort is "SAFE". The girl that was ripped off on the beach today, paying €20 for a slither of melon. Unfortunately throwing €200 million at the resort, doesn't change a thing!!
The council and the hoteliers live a fantasy world don't they?
Perhaps a Bull Fighting Ring could be added, somewhere to torture defenceless horses and cattle and a tea cup for Dolphins to swim in could be added to the development.
