I have just returned from a short trip to Menorka, Andria Hotel close to the Cala Santandria. Place is nice. Hotel is only thee stars but well maintained. We stayed with our two small children in apartment which consisted of one bedroom and fully equiped kitchen with sofabed. We had enough space for whole family. Oposite to the hotel is small shop so you can easily buy what you need. We stayed in the hotel on the basis of all inclusive. Choice of food and drinks is really good. We liked also a swimming pool. We stayed in many hotels before. We went to this hotel on last minute and I expected something not very good. However I was really nicely surprised. One thing what I didn´t like was playground for children. It really needs repair.

Just returned, after a week's stay all-in, food was fine, clean towels everyday, clean linen twice a week, maid service daily. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. The hotel was not easy to find, Google maps unhelpful but we found it eventually. I feel some of the reviews I read before I went were unfair - if you want 5 star you have to pay 5 star!

As a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids 16,12,11, we are just back from an all inclusive week at Club Andria and what a bargain!!

Ok the rooms are a bit dated but we only lay our heads there don't we and the cleanliness was first class with rooms cleaned and fresh linen and towels every day. The Club is 6 blocks of apartments around a swimming pool with a seperate building for the Restaurant. Reception is immaculate and always manned by brilliant people who always look to help. Our rooms were less that 12 feet from the edge of the pool and we had 5 sunbeds arranged around the pool that we never had to get up early to book.

The food is plentiful and wide ranging with english, spanish and german tastes ctered for. The 2 younger girls both experienced rabbit, quail and clams for the first time while my son made sure the chips were always having to be restocked. Drinks were available from 10 am to 11 pm and a few nights entertainment was laid on. The kids programme had just started as we left.

Cala Blanca is a 10 minute walk but to be honest the recession seems to be biting as half the shops were boarded up. The cove and beach near the Club are small but very gently shelving but again most hotels seem to be closed or up for sale.

Now the cost. We booked through Onthebeach and for the 5 of us All Inclusive for the Bank Holiday week it was just £1700. Great fun and superb weather.

I beg to differ on the previous reviews. Got moved to this resort after arriving in Cala'n Bosch and finding the room we had booked in Oct '07 wasn't available ! The people who ran/owned the apartments we stayed in ("Sa Punta", sister apts of Club Andria) couldn't do enough for us as we had been messed about. Had a first floor apt (very small balcony). After complaining we were moved to ground floor with a terrace and were able to use facilities at Club Andria just round the corner. All German and Spanish that stayed there, but so what, they are entitled to a holiday aswell ! Pool was excellent & very clean. The food was basic, but a good choice - had two 13 year olds with us & they didn't complain ! Drinks were local (as they always are when you go All Inclusive) but tasted fine to us. The bar staff were friendly enough as were the staff on reception (booking taxis. etc) Can't comment on the rooms here, as I say we stayed in sister apts round the corner. The resort is very quiet with only a couple of bars on the beach and one supermarket, but Cala Blanca is walkable in 8 mins or so where there are more shops and several bars (even an amusement arcade). Bus service is regular to Cuitedella town, but we walked it in 40 mins ! I wouldn't hesitate in going back here - a very picturesque part of the island. Caln'n Bosch is 10 mins (22 euros in a taxi) if you want crowds and karaoke bars.
