“A good spot, in a lovely location”

A good all round hotel, set in a lovely spot. Rooms We upgraded to superior sea view and it’s well worth it, the views are lovely and rooms are spacious.

A good all round hotel, set in a lovely spot. Rooms We upgraded to superior sea view and it’s well worth it, the views are lovely and rooms are spacious. It’s worth noting however the hills and steps are something special. We took our 10 month old in a pram which is quite challenging, but it does help burn off the all inclusive! There’s also a very well priced supermarket 1 min away, just in case you forget anything. Food & drink Food was far better than expected considering we went out of season. Fresh fish, meat, salads were all a plenty. They do try change it up a bit too to give some variety. Equally the drinks are good and well stocked, and there’s slushy and ice cream for the kids. Room for improvement Check in was slow, we were waiting over 20 minutes as we arrived with a coach party and there was just 1 on reception, annoying when you’ve been travelling for ages. Equally, the queues at the bars at the pool and where the evening entertainment is, are ridiculous. There’s often only one on, meaning you’re queuing for 15 mins at a time to get a drink which is frustrating. This might be because they’ve dialled down staffing out of peak season, but it makes wait times a bit silly. All in all, a good stay with the family and we would recommend it

“Great location, beautiful island, hotel not for us!”

We spent 5nights here, during the last week in October. We travelled as a couple with a 14yr old. I must admit the water park on site was one of the reasons I booked for my teenage boy.

We spent 5nights here, during the last week in October. We travelled as a couple with a 14yr old. I must admit the water park on site was one of the reasons I booked for my teenage boy. Sadly the slides etc are very much geared for small children and the photos do exaggerate the size and facilities in it. He didn't use it at all. The beach is literally outside of the hotel, it's definitely worth climbing the steps and walking the wooden path to the larger bay. The sea was warm and the bay is very scenic. We booked a premium 1 bedroom apartment, it had clearly been updated, the bathroom was very nice. We used the sofa bed in the lounge for my son. If you were in the apartment as a couple the space would be adequate, however with 3 we found that there's certainly little room for 3 suitcases and all clothes. The restaurant is very loud, lots of families too busy for us, we tried to eat outside when we could but the wasps were a problem. The food on offer is generally very good and there is certainly lots of choice, unfortunately most of the 'hot' choices were lukewarm at best. I found a microwave in the dining room and used it daily. The organisation of the bar and offer of drinks is very frustrating, during the day the pool bar is the only place to get a drink. The queues are ridiculous, one member of staff on at a time, same when the bar opens near the entertainment and the pool bar closes, the queues just move. The pool was very clean and clear,however, it wasn't heated it was extremely cold! The bus stop is right outside the hotel I would definitely recommend going to Fornells to look around and sample the restaurants. There is a supermarket outside the hotel with a variety of food drink and holiday items, we ended up buying wine most days and having a drink on the balcony rather than queuing, despite having paid for all inclusive. We weren't flying home until 9pm so we enquired about a late checkout on day one, we were told that they wouldn't commit until the morning of departure but as it was end of season they thought it would be fine. Unfortunately on morning of departure it wasn't fine! No other room or shower room offered or available just a large luggage room! We will definitely return to menorca but not this hotel.

“Ok hotel but a lot of faults”

So we came for 7 night stay at end of October (end of season), we stayed in a premium location room that was perfect if you struggle with hills and steps as there are a lot of hills to get to most of the accommodation blocks.

So we came for 7 night stay at end of October (end of season), we stayed in a premium location room that was perfect if you struggle with hills and steps as there are a lot of hills to get to most of the accommodation blocks. The room was very nice, fairly modern and plenty of room, room was cleaned everyday and you got fresh towels. The resort itself was a bit of a let down, not sure if it was because of it being end of season but the seating area wasn’t massively clean and there were broken seats etc only one bar open at a time which meant long queue to get a drink, the drinks are basic with the cocktails are out of a machine and weren’t always the best we found sticking to beer or spirit and mixer was the best, restaurant was good and the food was also good, most meals were repetitive but every few days they would offer something different but all the food we had was very tasty and the pizza is very good! the snack bar was usually food left over from the meal before and was often cold food so we avoided it. The pool seemed clean and was a good size, there was normally beds available but if you want one in the sun get one early or go after lunch and the splash park/slides were good however offer difficult to get a bed and also a good walk away from the bar another downsize was there are loads of wasps around main pool which meant it was very difficult to relax as they were buzzing around your head all the time and a few people were stung while we were here. The staff were very friendly and it was easy to go out for the day with the buses and taxis and the supermarket at the resort was handy, loads of inflatables for the pool/beach and they had drinks snack to buy and some basic toiletries. Beach was good, very shallow in the sea and often warmer than the pool just watch out for jellyfish! All in all it was a ok hotel, but even at the end of season gets very busy and it doesn’t feel big enough, and I think for the money we paid we could of gone somewhere nicer.
