Santa Ponca is about 45 mins transfer, trust me, been there, lovely place, great for shops etc
We went there on the 104/5 bus a couple of times from Palmanova where we were staying.
Also caught the 102 from Santa Ponca to get to Porto d' Andraxt, that's well nice too, worth a visit.
The buses are quite cheap, but don't trust the time tables, the drivers don't use them  !!!

He even flew back to Doncaster on the same plane as us  ::)

Got back around 9am this morning to cr@p weather!!!

Hotel, food, weather and resort good - downsides:

1) airport transfers advertised as 45 minutes, didn't say you had to sit on coach for an hour before setting off! Our hotel was last drop off so got a taxi - 20 minutes to hotel. Return transfer meant we were first on - 3.35am!!! Once again got a taxi, apparently it's regular occurrence according to Trip Advisor.

2) hotel had 1 stag and 2 hen parties at weekend - language and rowdy behaviour (dropping shorts and dancing naked) wasn't what we expected in a family hotel.

Other than that had a really good time.

Lovely place - nice coffee shops and we also found a lovely restaurant run by a couple from Liverpool (Pepper Pot).

Booked for next year but from Southampton. Taking daughter on this one, she's 40 next year. Have to book so early as accessible rooms go so fast and have really struggled.

Not got all photo's scanned into PC yet of last hols, just been so busy hopefully get round to it next week.

Big clap please cos I uploaded these without using photo bucket  O:-)

I didn't take many photo's as it was a Transatlantic cruise so we spent a lot of time on the ship, sunning and reading.
We flew to Atlanta from Manchester then on to New Orleans. Very tiring as it took about 22 hours.

Lovely ship and hot sunny days.

Drank too much  :( Unfortunately we went into the private top tier lounge each evening where the drinks were free for 3 and half hours - and they just kept topping us up  ^-^  ^-^.
Met some lovely people from all over the world though.
Really enjoyed it  8)
