I'd like to start by stressing we stayed at this hotel some time back. I can't offer anything good to say. The room was tired. Had exposed electrics hanging from the wall (ripe for our toddler to play with!). Complaining had no results. Our ceiling fan was broken and the decor was very tired. Perhaps it has been refurbed since... More

We loved the hotel. It does seem like a bit of a blot on the landscape but the location is perfect. All rooms have a good view. The breakfast buffet is great and we found the staff to be very friendly. Access to the beach is excellent. We went in early May and it was quite quiet which suited us... More

I have been reading some Of the reviews about the hotel and would just like to set things straight about things. The hotel as said in other reviews winds down towards the end of the holiday season as all holiday resorts do in minorca at that time of year. The best time of year to visit is between may and...

Beautiful place, great location, lovely staff and a room to die for...what more could one ask? On arrival we were asked if we would like to upgrade for another $30 per night and, when we saw the room, jumped at the chance. Ours was one of the new suites and had its own balcony with beautiful chairs and loungers and... More

Wonderful hotel. Staff really friendly, food excellent. Beach front location and within walking distance from few bars and shops. We travelled with our 3 year old daughter and none of us wanted to leave. The rooms were cleaned to a high std every day. Lovely sea view.

The reason we booked this hotel was because the photos on the website looked lovely - the public areas seemed chic and minimalist. The restaurants were spacious, and it looked like a very relaxing place to spend a holiday. On arrival, we were immediately struck by how deserted it was ... not a single holidaymaker in sight. The two members... More

This was our second visit to this hotel as we loved it so much. Would recommend and the sea views are amazing. The area has a nice relaxing feel to it. The staff at the hotel were always at hand and very helpful and friendly. There is a choice for everyone when it comes to the food too.

As another traveller had mentioned - take loads of money ..you will certainly need it as prices in the hotel are extortionate (Thomsons need to tell them why the hotel bar is almost empty most nights) A couple of drinks costs a fortune. Also, if you buy drinks at supermarket to have one on your balcony in the evening, they... More
