just returned from hotel cala,n, blanes.if your looking for a cheap and nasty place to stay,then this is it.
the blandest food repeated over and over again,watered down san miguel no decent shorts,crap coffee the list is endless.
the rooms are like the lottery some with balconeys others with just a window,about 8 top floor rooms have all the extractors and aircon units above them so its a bit like trying to sleep in a boiler room.then there,s the annexe above the kitchens not a nice place at all.
also not enough sunbeds to go round,there,s a big pile of broken ones in the car park,so there,s a mad dash in the mornings to secure one.
overall first choice could more to warn people about what type of accomodation you could expect to get.

Having just returned from The Cala'n Blanes Hotel - I would agree with most of the comments previously posted. But the major thing that I found was that there was absolutely no time during either day or night that the hotel was quiet. I was aware that the hotel catered mostly for families, but still decided to book this hotel for me and my boyfriend because it ticked all the other boxes. HOWEVER, DO NOT, go to this hotel if you want to swim in a pool that has some space to swim in. Whilst they have a lifeguard he does not control what is going on at all. Teenagers bombing and generally putting everyone else at risk, was a situation that he took absolutely no notice of. The food was quite varied but unfortunately I found that most of the British toursists that were there stuck mostly to chips, they should have tried some of the other local dishes that were prepared, they were lovely. Our bedroom was small, with a balcony, but then this is a 3 star hotel so you get what you pay for. It would have been nice though to have sheets that actually fit the bed, i.e. double sheets on a double bed and not single sheets on a double bed. The staff throughout the hotel were hard working and pleasant at all times. The beach is lovely and I would recommend that you go to the beach instead of the pool. Overall we enjoyed our holiday and would recommend it to anyone who wants a noisy holiday.

Returned from Cala'n Blanes yesterday. Amazing weather but hard to be so enthusiastic about rest of holiday. The highlights were the entertainment staff. Ronny works so hard and is amazing with the children! First Choice kids rep also good but the room where the kids go to is very dark & depressing. Stayed on an All Inclusive basis but food not very inspiring. When we first arrived we though was pretty good but soon found out it's basically the same every night. Always veal, pork and a fish dish. Chips always available. Did have a paella one lunch time but mussels very suspect so didn't touch. Although All Inclusive, food is only allowed to be eaten in the restaurant. This includes all snacks. If you're wet from being in the pool you have to dry off first before you can go into the restaurant and swimwear is not allowed! Hotel itself very clean and can't be faulted. Bar staff & restaurant staff not at all friendly although reception staff couldn't be more helpful. Not much to do in resort itself and, after going on an excursion, found Menorca is very quiet. Landscape is amazing and beaches are beautiful. Ideal place if you love history. Would recommend trip to Mahon market and Mahon port. Also, airport is being developed at the moment so departures lounge is in a bit of a mess at the moment. All in all, a nice holiday but not somewhere would want to return.

Just returned from our week holiday in cala n blanes hotel.Holiday overall was good but ruined towards the end.This was because i left 100 euros in my purse in my hotel room and when i later went to get my money it had gone,i personally believe it was the maids as no one else had acces to the room and a woman i spoke to later on the next night said she had her bingo winnings taken which was again 100 euros.
Food wasnt very varied,chips every single day which got boring.
The beach was beautiful shame about the jellyfish being there sometimes though!Location was good,not to far from the main shopping place.
If your going sometime soon keep your purse on you at all times!!
