“Fantastic holiday in every aspect!”

The beauty of this hotel is the location overlooking the entrance to Mahon port, within a quiet residential area and fantastic views as far as the eye can see. Sea view rooms, with everything you may need, comfy bed, nice shower/bathroom, daily room service, kettle and fridge. A good walk in to the centre of Mahon or a short bus ride. Although this hotel is to close for refurbishment under new owners(IHG) the real gems of this hotel are the staff - Yazmin from the Restaurant, Harold from the Bar and a special mention to Andrea from Reception a great ambassador for Seth Hotels! Wishing everyone the best and hoping to visit this venue again in the near future.

We are just back from another glorious two weeks at this hotel. Everything was as remembered, although I did feel the food was not quite as good as last time. The thing though that makes this hotel so special are the staff. Cleo and Alec in the dining room, with two lovely girls to assist. The reception staff are so lovely and helpful, the maids do a great job. The star of the show has to be Harold in the bar! He produces the most divine cocktails and makes even an ordinary drink look exciting! Now there is sadness hanging over the hotel, due to Set Hotels selling the Agamenon. Guests and staff both are really upset by the changes this will bring. All that I can say is that the hotel needs a thorough upgrade. Rooms, public areas, and the seating in the lounge all need to be changed to a more acceptable level. All we can do is await the news for next year, and hope, above all, that the lovely staff are the first consideration of the new owners.

“Excellent staff but hotel in need of updating / renovation.”

We have been staying in Es Castell almost yearly since 2015 but this was our first time at the Seth Agemenon.

We have been staying in Es Castell almost yearly since 2015 but this was our first time at the Seth Agemenon. We booked a double room with balcony on a half board basis the last week of September / first week of October 2025. Arrival and check-in We arrived way before the standard check-it time of 2pm. We were very pleasantly surprised to be told that our room was ready when we arrived at approximately 10am. Check-in was friendly, helpful and informative with Cilli on reception. Room The bedroom was spacious but very dated and in desperate need of being totally refurbished. The 2 single beds pushed together were very uncomfortable. The wardrobe was large and had plenty of storage space for a week although not suitable for full length dresses and came with minimal hangers. This also housed a small key operated safe that was €12.00 for the week plus a €6.00 deposit. There was a mini fridge that was handy for storing water and drinks etc. The WIFI was free and was fine for surfing the web and sending emails etc. We found the air-conditioning very effective and not too noisy. Bathroom The bathroom had a nice large walk in shower with both rain shower and hose attachment that had decent water pressure and there was always hot water on demand. The towels were large, soft and fluffy which we really liked. Balcony The balcony had adequate space for the two chairs and table provided. The views to the left and directly ahead were of residential apartment buildings and immediately to the right and ahead in the distance stunning views of Mahon port and harbour. During our stay the last week of September / first week of October we had sun on the balcony from 2pm until sundown House keeping Our room was kept spotlessly clean by the excellent maids as was the rest of the hotel. Towels were changed as and when required and there was also an option to have the bedding changed half way through our weeks stay. Dining room There was a good selection of hot and cold food at both breakfast and evening meals and although there was a microwave available we did not need to reheat one meal. The views from the dining room are lovely. Snack Bar We enjoyed a couple of light lunches at the poolside snack bar. The portions were generous and the prices very reasonable as were the drinks at the bar. Pool area We noticed staff cleaning the pool on a regular basis but the sunbeds were very old and stained. Apart from one or two inconsiderate people most of the guests refrained from reserving the sunbeds and there was always plenty to go around at the time of year that we stayed. Entertainment During our stay the entertainment was only on Saturday & Wednesdays nights and both acts were singers but quite enjoyable. Location. The Seth Agemenon is an excellent base for exploring the Island of Menorca with the bus stop just a few minutes walk away with cheap transfers across the whole island. The lovely picturesque Cala Fonts is around a 10 to 15 minute walk away which has some lovely restaurants and the views over the harbour are beautiful. The is not an adults only hotel which we normally ever only book when possible. During our stay in the hotel we only noticed 2 (very well behaved) babies and no children. However this hotel is located in a residential area so you can expect to hear all of the noise associated with a property located in such an area and for me this became more and more irritating as our holiday went on although to be fair it would probably not bother most people. None of this is the fault of the hotel and I should have done more research on the location of the hotel and position of the rooms. To sum up. Overall we had a very enjoyable holiday but what made our stay special was the staff all of whom were some of the best that we have come across on our holidays. The Seth Agemenon hotel is tired and in desperate need of renovation especially the rooms and although kept spotlessly clean in our opinion should currently be rated as a 3* hotel .
