I booked this hotel through Travel Republic adding on flights and transfers.I emailed ahead asking for a high floor with view of pool and was very pleased to get exactly what I had asked for.We stayed in a one bedroomed apartment which was adequate for our stay.We were half-board and allocated a table for our whole stay.The food was very nice with plenty of choice for breakfast including delicious omellettes cooked to order.Dinner also had plenty of choice including something for the children each night e.g fish nuggets (but homemade).
The swimming pool had plenty of sunbeds and parasols although people did reserve to get a favourite place.We went to the beach a couple of times which was beautiful -clear warm waters in sandy coves just 5-10 mins walk from the hotel.
The entertainment in the hotel was as usual, my children still go to the mini disco and persuaded us to stay for the entertainment after.We watched an African show which was good, Disney show which was ok and a terrible show with a guy singing lots of different songs.The harbour is a moments walk away and is bustling with lots of restaurants, shops,stalls and bars and is very pleasant for a stroll in the evening.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would recomend it to families with primary school age.The hotel although full was quiet.

We have just come back from two weeks in Minorca, at Cala'n Bosch staying at Grupotel Cala Macarella Apartments.

Accomodation:
We found the accomodation clean and comfortable, there was regular maid-service (except wednesday and sunday).
Our accomodation consisted of two apartments, both including: one bedroom apartment with two sofa-beds, a kittenette (with a kettle and toaster provided) , table, and a bath and seperate shower in bathroom.
The pool area was not that large, but never really seemed over-crowded. There were activitites, but seemed to cater for under 10's.
The reception staff were extremley friendly and helpful on a number of occasions.
Handy hint: our bathroom door became jammed; use the inside of the provided pen to release the lock !!!! :)

Resort
The hotel is a two minute walk to the harbour. This has a lively, but not rowdy atmosphere; with pleanty of resturants, and bars to enjoy! On the other hand there are no clubs or discos which was a bit of a dissapointment to the two 18 yearolds in our party.
We enjoyed eating out particularly in the Venezia Iitalian restaurant.
In our party were 3 adults, and four teenageers (15-18yrs). We found this a very enjoyable holiday, and would reccomend this resort and hotel to anyone!!!!! :)

“Great for young children & superb food!”

Grupotel Macarella

23 Jul 2007

Have just got back from a week. 4 adults & 5 children 5 years & under. The hotel pool was perfect as 50% of it is shallow enough for the children to paddle in & warms up nicely in the sun. We did HB & the food was superb plenty for the children & a lovely selection for adults (smoked salmon, prawns, freshly cooked sword fish, roast carved joints, paella ......) and the staff were so tolerant (the mess we left behind after the small ones)!! The mini disco (8.30-9pm) and evening shows were also great (we were lucky our children all had afternoon naps so they managed to stay up til 10.30ish when the evening finished).
Not overcrowded, mixture of nationalities, all seemed lovely people. Great room service, even offered parasols to take to the beach - a short walk away ... busier, so we stayed by the pool mainly......
Wish we were still there .... the weather was perfect breezy & sunny at this time of year (no-one got burnt)!

“great family friendly apartments”

5/5 found this review helpful

Just returned from 11 days at the Macarella. We are a family of 4 with a 2 year old and 6 month old. We had a great time. We found the apartments to be clean and large enough, could have been slightly bigger.
We did have a kettle and toaster and pans in our room at no extra cost or deposits required, there were also plenty of blankets in the room, not that they were required.
We found the staff helpful and friendly but rarely came into contact with them.
The pool area is good with a nice shelved large pool and smaller kids pool. Plenty of beds and parasols, and a slide and swings for kids.
My only complaint is that the place where the mini disco is is a complete pain to get to if you have a pushchair, as it is up stairs above reception with no lift to get there.
I wouldn't bother with the breakfast if you're room only, nip to the supermarket a minute away or to the harbour for a beakfast there. It is not worth 14 euro each.

The apartments are ina perfect spot, 1 minute walk to the harbour with all the restaurants and 5 minute walk to the beach, which is plenty big enough and has a lovely gently shelved edge to the sea.
A final comment on menorca, if you have a double side by side buggy it is a nightmare, every doorway is narrow and I would recommend taiking 2 separate buggies.
