We had a very good time at this hotel The staff were very friendly especially on reception The food was good always found something to eat In the evenings the entertainment was probably the best I have seen abroad On my birthday I was left a bottle of champagne which was a lovely things to do The only thing I could say as a negative was being charged for the towels My husband did query this as we have travelled all over the world all inclusive and this is the first time ever we have had to pay.

“Marinda Garden, Cala'n Bosch, Menorca”

We stayed here for a few days at the end of Sept, beginning of Oct 2024. It was our first time at this hotel and to the island of Menorca.

We stayed here for a few days at the end of Sept, beginning of Oct 2024. It was our first time at this hotel and to the island of Menorca. The transfer with TUI was around 1,1/2hours so not the best but once we arrived, the check in was swift and we promptly found our room. Our room was facing the main road and not far from the mini golf. There was a gate to get out onto the main road near our room and so we could walk to the harbour in around 3-5mins as we are both able bodied and can easily walk etc. The harbour is lovely with a great choice of bars and restaurants. There is a bus stop outside the hotel on the main road and we were informed that the bus to Ciutadella cost around 2 Euros each, each way. A taxi cost around 15 Euros each way and we went for this option. Ciutadella was lovely and well worth a visit. We found the hotel and the staff to all be lovely and helpful. The rooms were okay and there were plenty of sunbeds around the pool area. The food at the pool snack bar was okay and was made to order. We stayed all inclusive and there was plenty of choice at all meal times and there was no problem with getting drinks. There are water stations around the hotel which is really great so you can help yourself and refill water bottles at your leisure. There is also various soft drinks and beer on tap so again, this is really helpful and reduces the queues at the bars. The only negative that I could say is that we contacted the hotel prior to the holiday to advise that we had recently got married and since we were all inclusive, we did expect a bottle of fizz in the room but unfortunately this wasn’t the case which is a shame. If we returned to Menorca, we would definitely consider returning to this hotel.

Travelled for our Honeymoon with our 8 month old, stayed in an upstairs deluxe apartment - well worth thte upgrade price as the baloncy is huge, apartment was spacious and i like that the bedroom is seperate from the living space unlike in a hotel. Food - A lot of people complain about the food but if you aren't a picky eater, the food is absolutely fine, you get what you paid for at a 3 star. It does become quite repetitive at breakfast, snack bar and dinner, but tea time has themed nights which was nice. Plenty of drink options but if you like an English brew, take tea bags with you. Entertainment - Can't fault the staff. Nothing really suitable for very little ones but toddlers and up it looked great. Very loud at night (more in 'Apartment' section. Apartment - No real huge negatives. Just one thing to bear in mind is that their is no cleaning service on a Sunday or Wednesday, so for example we arrived Saturday dinner, and our room was then not cleaned until Monday afternoon so our bin was full with having a baby ect... but you can change towels at reception so no issues there. Be mindful of your apartment placement in relation to the stage area because we were in block 30 and the entertainment was SO LOUD in our apartment, it was keeping our baby awake until 10:30pm, it was so loud. We decided to just do a nighttime walk every night to keep away from the noise to allow the baby to sleep. We addressed this with reception and they were as helpful as they could be, but it was definitely an issue for us so be mindful if you are travelling with a baby / early sleeper. Pools - Freezing! Fine for adults and i saw plenty of little kiddies enjoying the pools but oh my gosh the baby pool was icy! So unfortunately our little one didn't get to enjoy the pool, it would be good if this was heated. Never a problem getting a sun bed and never felt loud or obnoxious around the pool area. Location - We enjoy walking, so having the Marina, Lighthouse and Beach so close was lovely, but that's really it within walking distance. We did a bus trip to the Market on Friday but there wasn't enough to even fill an hour. We walked every day but just around the same areas. Plenty of bars and restaurants on the Marina. Accessibility of the hotel - We had a pushchair so obviously an upstairs apartment was sometimes difficult but we made it work. I find it a shame that wheelchair users would not get the option for a room upgrade, i think that some deluxe apartments should be made on the ground floor! Overall - Cons; The noise of entertainment at night Lack of walking distance places to explore Repetitve food Freezing baby pool Pros; Always loungers around the pool The lovely staff Apartment cleanliness & space (love the balcony!) The onsite shop Check in and out was easy
