“Nice hotel good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

We stayed at this hotel for the first two weeks of October the weather was lovely.Upon our arrival our room was lovely and clean with complimentary water and bag of toileteries.Our balcony was nice overlooking the garden and swimming pool.There was a fridge which was free of charge and a flat screen tv with English channels. It cost 10 euros for remote but you got this back at the end of your stay.
The staff were really friendly and the reception staff spoke good English nothing was too much trouble.I got a nasty insect bite when out sunbathing which went infected and they rang me a Doctor who came right away and gave me antibiotics.Had to pay for this but got it back from my holiday insurance.
The food was good but after two weeks got a bit boring however there was nothing wrong with it and always something to tempt you.
On the down side the entertainment was pretty poor and did not start until 10pm so after dinner there wasn't much to amuse you but we went down the road a couple of times to the Valentin Star hotel as they always had something on at 9pm.Although the weather was good the whole resort was closing down so most of the pubs and shops were closed in fact the day after we flew home the hotel closed for Winter and does not open again until May next year had we known this we would not have gone at the later time,we are not young revellers in fact we are young minded early 60s but we do like to go somewhere with a bit of entertainment when away.
There were some nice shops in nearby Ciudadella and the bus fare was very cheap so we went there to buy the Grandkids something.
All in all I would recommend this hotel for cleanliness and hospitality and really good value for money but go before October when everything is open at the resort.

“Great stay with small child”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This was our first holiday away with our 8 month old. Menorca seemed like a good choice as it is a small quiet island. We opted for self catering at this hotel and we were very pleased with the holiday. The hotel itself has a very relaxed feel - is very friendly for getting kids in prams about, apart from the lack of lifts, however all of the rooms are either ground or first floor it seems. The self catering was very practical, and nice and clean and well kept. The pool is very good and great for taking babies in. The hotel is in a very quiet part of what I thought was a nice quiet relaxing town - don't go for excitement, but if you are after a slow paced and relaxing holiday with a little one, this is a very good place to visit. Note we didn't eat at the hotel due to being self catering so can't comment on the food.

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

This hotel does what everyone says it does. They give good food, exchange rates, bar prices and even their little 'supermarket' is cheaper.

The ornaments for example are considerably cheaper than outside the complex.
The staff are always friendly too.

Only gripes would be the hardness of the beds (yes I mean hard rather than firm) and that they cut the grass (it takes hours) during the day time when people are sunbathing. Also if your room faces the road, dependent on the room, your privacy may be a bit restricted in that coaches park there and their drivers sit on the kerb facing you. But that's it. In every other respect it was great.

We did try the animation one night, but like everywhere it's great for kids. For adults, there's many nice bars down at the marina, or just sit on the balcony outside the bar.

We are not party animals and the first day was torrential rain (just bad luck) so the fact that you have BBC1, BBC2 and ITV in your room is brilliant. You also have a fridge to store your goodies but do remember that when you leave the room the electricity goes out!
Tips: You need to take a kettle and cups, spoons to make tea so just buy a pack of the small individual milk/cream pots from the hotel shop (they work well in tea and coffee).
Beach/pool towels need 20 euro deposit each, the remote control 10 euros and safety deposit 5 euros. So have a running tab and use the deposits to pay off your bill. Just keep a record of your spending. We had wine every night with the meal one glass each, sometimes more and a couple of cocktails and water and the bill for the week for the two of us was just over 50 euros!!

The sunbeds can be moved wherever you want in the grounds which was great as we prefer the grass and a fair bit of shade bathing.

Both beaches are small but within 5 mins outside the back of the hotel, through a gate down through the self catering/tennis courts for the nearest one and a max of 15 mins stroll for Cala'n Boch.
Whatever you do get the bus opposite the front of the hotel (number 65) to Cuitadella and walk down all the side streets as well as the main street. It is so beautiful. Pay on the bus going (check the current fare before going they like the right money) and get a ticket back from the kiosk where they drop you off. Probably to prevent the driver having to hold too much money?
Great people, great place.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing the pool rather than the road, although the view was fine, you may get some tr...
