Cala Galdana is probably the best location in Minorca; scenically very attractive.
Hotel Audax has the best site in Cala Galdana.
The hotel is comfortable and quiet.
Room service and cleanliness generally good, although when we put out our "Do not disturb" sign, it was persistently ignored by a chambermaid repeatedly knocking, intent on coming in to clean.

“The best hotel on the best resort”

Hotel Audax

3 Oct 2007
11/13 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Audax on our first holiday together. We had a bit of money to spend on something special and the Audax was definitely worth it. I have been to Menorca before and I would say this is probably the best on the island you can get. The hotel is in the ideal spot - the pool was so clean and there were so many good spots to sit or lie down that had beautiful views of the bay of Cala Galdana. We paid for a sea view and were not disappointed. The staff were extremely friendly, from the maids to the duty manager. The bar had excellent evening entertainment, we could have stayed all night every night! We didn't think that much of the hotel restaurants but they were still very good. The majority of other guests were middle to old age (we are both young adults) but this was not an issue as we were not there to party lol. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday in a stunningly beautiful resort and a well maintained hotel, this is the place for you.

“Nice hotel, lovely resort”

Hotel Audax

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Tewkesbury, Glos

8/10 found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel in June for 5 nights. We opted for a sea view room - it was worth the money as the view across the bay was great.
I am surprised at the negative comments that have been left. I was staying with my mum and we both had a relaxing time.
The hotel staff were very friendly and the room was clean. The food was ok, admittedly, one buffet restaurant was nicer than the other (but can't remember which). There was a large choice each night so you should find something you like.
The pool was cold but if you go in the top pool it is warmer.
The resort itself is lovely, very quiet so don't go if you are looking for entertainment. We took a walk to the headland which looks across the whole bay - there are a lot of steps the view is worth it.
We only left the resort once - we took the bus to Ciutadella, the island's old capital. This is worth a day trip out to see the old buildings and the port.
The only downside were that we did have a "drain smell" from the bathroom which seemed to come and go. Admittedly, we didn't complain but did leave a comment on their questionnaire. The hotel wrote back to us, on our arrival back home to apologise.
Overall we had a very relaxing stay.Looking at the other hotels (only 2 others) there, I think it is the best one.

“Relaxing vacation”

10/10 found this review helpful

We were actually looking for an all inclusive, since we were in urgent need of a one week vacation without too much trouble of thinking and planning for food, beaches and comfort. We then found this hotel with half board through Tripadvisor. Since we had never been in Menorca before, we decides to give it a chance. It turned out to be one of our best vacations ever. The hotel, the beach and it´s beautiful surroundings were excellent for a relaxing stay. The restaurants at the hotel had buffes with large variety and you could always find good food without eating the same every day. The beach and the water were very clean, but we suggest you book a sun bed since it´s not that expencive (only 22 euros a day for 2 sun beds and a parasol). When you see pictures of the water at Menorca - it looks exactely like that. The rooms at the hotel are medium size, but you shoultd absolutely book a sea view room - it´s well worth the money spent. If you are leaving late, the hotel offers you a courtesy room that you can use to change and take a quick shower. We did not use the spa this time, but it offers a large variety of treatments. We will absolutely try several of them the next time. One thing worth mentioning: You know when you fill in surveys, you normally get no respons ore a standard letter at most. This hotel sent us a detailed letter where they adressed each of our comments. This is is a small thing but it gives us as customers another reason to visit them again.

“Very pleasantly surprised!”

Hotel Audax

12 Sep 2007
13/14 found this review helpful

We booked the Audax for a weeks break and following some negative reviews on this and other sites were somewhat unsure as to what to expect.

These however proved groundless as from the time we arrived to the time we left we couldn’t fault the facilities or service we received.

All the Reception staff spoke excellent English (as well as mandatory spanishGerman, French, Italian, Dutch and even a smattering of Icelandic!), and made us welcome from the start explaining how to get tea and coffee making facilities, the dining times, spa facilities etc. When we looked around we found our cases had already been taken to our room by the porter (a nice touch we thought).

We were allocated a room overlooking the pool area on floor six which although in the shade most of the day proved a cool haven when needs be (our air conditioning system was also very effective). We felt that compared to the rooms with a sea view for which there was an additional charge, we’d lucked out with a good view across at the village of Cala Galdana itself.

The room was modest in size with a small bathroom but was clean and well equipped with mini bar and safe (€15 charge). The room was cleaned on a daily basis and towels changed as required.

The pool area was excellent with plenty of beds in both sun and shade available although the towels tended to go out in the popular areas by 9.00am. The pool bar was fine with friendly staff and provided a decent snack meal at lunchtimes if needed.

Main meals were served in two restaurants, both self-service, buffet style. Food was good and plentiful and each night if you wanted a break from the buffet, there was speciality cooking in a small kitchen area off the restaurant with themes such as Menorcan fare, Paella and charcuterie and cheese etc. The waiting staff were quick to clear away dishes and plates and attentive to our needs if required.

Evening entertainment focussed on the ground floor bar area and ranged from good to excellent, the Monday night jazz quartet and the illusionist were absolutely brilliant. Bar prices were also reasonable for a hotel.

We also took advantage of the excellent spa facilities and would strongly recommend the spa circuit at €18-20 which allowed ninety minutes taking advantage of the various spa pools, baths, hydro massages and speciality showers as well as the sauna, steam and hot rooms.

Cala Galdana itself was rather quiet although as we were coming to the end of the main season it was perhaps not unexpected.

In summary we were absolutely delighted with the Audax. It provided us with a relaxing and stress free holiday
