4 Star Menorca Holidays

Ieuan Putnam

Was a lovely hotel, staff were incredibly friendly and always happy to help. Nice quiet location however apart from the beach nothing really around to do. There were a few setbacks for example we wish that there was more variety of food as it was great at lunch as they had different options everyday but come the breakfast and dinner, always the same stuff switching between pork steaks and chicken steaks and everything else stayed the same. That was only the real let down as we felt we were stuck eating the same stuff everyday. The other small issue is that it’s like a wasp city in the Waterpark and the pool side which was annoying but it’s nature can’t do anything about that, overall it was a lovely hotel and staff were lovely. 3/5

Fab hotel the staff are fantastic and so friendly!! Rooms nice and clean, pool area amazing always lots of sunbeds and lots of activities. Food is great would love a few more veggie options and a bit more variety, was really nice when they had specialities on like tacos and sushi, bit of a queue around 1pm for lunch and 7pm for dinner but drinks machines are everywhere which made the waiting easier! Would definitely come back!

Overall good, despite my comments below. The food was of a good standard for an all-inclusive arrangement, enough choice for all. The staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful. We came mainly for the water park, which was great. So.ideal for a family holiday.

Premium 2 bed apartment was spacious, a little tired in decor...but clean and the air con throughout was wonderful! Staff are efficient and friendly on the whole. The door greeters into the restaurant were always smiling and helpful....definitely deserve a special mention. Daytime entertainment was great for my teenage boy, very funny in places and the energy levels were through the roof 🤣 Evening entertainment was a little lacklustre, but the venue is on a sound limiter so this could be why. Minura Sur Menorca really has all you need on site for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Having taken 5 teens with us, we would have liked somewhere to walk out to of an evening, or a few more bits and bobs to keep them busy. There's definitely space for a few more pool tables, dartboards or similar such things. BUT that's not the resorts issue, that's our issue! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return. Thank you to all the staff who work so hard. We appreciate it 🙂

Accommodation was superb, staff were knowledgeable and keen to help. The entertainers gave 110% to keep it light, fun and engaging for all involved. Location was perfect with water park attached. Would recommend to families looking for everything in 1 place. Brilliant experience for us and the kids.

I came here a few years ago, but I remember perfectly my experience here. The service is extraordinary like the food. There are 3 pools with 3 different depths an one fore the kids. I really like this place also if the sea isn't that cool. There is animation for kids and they also have a "theater" to watch movies in the evening. The rooms are clean and they are pretty big. I love this place and I wanna come hare another time. The price isn't too high. The service is the best and it's like a 5 star hotel service.

The place is beautiful and it's a paradise for children with all the pools, slides and entertainment. Pros: -Rooms are basic but comfy (missing a water kettle/coffee facility). -Location: I love the quiet area but the closest beach is rocky (used to be a beautiful sandy beach) so you need to walk 10-15 minutes to another close by mini beach (not ideal with a stroller). -Lots of flowers and grass and all is well maintained -Beautiful pools areas with slides and tons of attractions for kids Cons: It's really not nice that in 5 days stay I did not find 1 sunbed available in the pools areas. The customers are really impolite and 'reserve' them with their towels for hours. Food and beverage: the quality is really bad (not to mention some clients to stuff their plates like there was no tomorrow). Artificial flavour juices, "paella" with weird taste, salad bar with canned carrots and beetroot...)

Our first holiday in a while and what a fantastic hotel. We had an issue on the first night with the room and straight away got moved . The staff are excellent, the food is for everyone and great choices. If you have an allergy mention this and they will cook meals for you. 7 pools from the busy ones in the centre to the 3 quieter pools. Location is great 10 min walk to the marina and main beach and just a 3/4 min walk to the smaller beach behind the hotel. If you are wanting to explore and don’t drive the bus service is good and cheap as are the taxis. We have already booked to go back in October

Just home from a family holiday. Staff great and lovely area.. however the quality of the food really let's the hotel down. We read the negative reviews about the food, but thought it couldn't be that bad.. however it was. We were all inclusive and did use the restaurant for breakfast as it was passable.. however we ended up eating out pretty much all of the other time. The rest of the hotel was fine & our daughter ( 4 ) loved the splash pad, kids club, mini disco ect. However due to the food we wouldn't ever return

Rooms OK, food just OK, microwaves to warm your food up, but personally it should be hot to begin with, no kettle in room, not sure why so take one or hire one. Get up early if you want a day round the pool, embarrassing as brits, as day in day out beds taken, marina lovely, food an beers spot on. On the whole lovely holiday , hotel staff amazing bar staff entertainment team restaurant staff all amazing 👏

This is an adult only hotel, close to the airport in a very small town. Staff were friendly and helpful, great food lovely rooms and entertainment was really good too. The pool area had a lovely chilled vibe and sun beds were really comfortable. We hired a car for the day through the hotel, excellent value and delivered to the hotel on time the next day! We drove to Ciutadella beautiful town just an our away would definitely recommend this. Reason for 5 Stars, we just couldn’t fault it!

The rooms were spacious and clean. We asked for more bedding and it was delivered quickly. Slight confusion over the swimming pools but we always found vacant sunbeds. We made good use of our plunge pool,which although not huge was perfect for cooling down. We bought water for our room but plenty was available in the restaurant and reception. The snack room was relaxing and cool. I would have liked hot water as well as a coffee machine. Food was varied and good. Staff all friendly and spoke very good English. Some evening entertainment but we wanted a quiet break. I think there was plenty going on during the day if required. Hopefully we will return

We stayed here from 14 Sept - 17 Sept and I cannot fault the hotel. We experienced attentive and polite staff who were available 24/7 and always helpful. Our room was really clean upon arrival and this was maintained throughout our stay by the lovely cleaners. We had fresh towels provided to us daily and shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and handwash was also provided. There was also a hairdryer provided which was really handy. There was a good selection of food available at breakfast, lunch and dinner which we enjoyed. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy were the all inclusive cocktails in the bar, they were very strong to the point where we couldn’t drink them. The beach club opposite was gorgeous and the spa at the hotel was great. I had a massage at the spa which was very relaxing and the pool in the spa was really enjoyable. The hotel is located in a very quiet place and so we did not come across any night life - this is the perfect holiday destination if you just want to relax. We also got a 15/20 min taxi from the hotel to Mahon which has some lovely views and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. Would definitely come again.

The hotel is not far from the airport. The room is clean, but the balcony does not allow smoking as well as the value is only for adults. The staff is friendly. What I really advise to do is to change the cooks, since the food is not tasty at all. It was a mistake to take all inclusive. Also, please put water in the rooms every day, it is not very good to wake up in the middle of the night and want to drink, while running down to pour yourself some water. At least put it for those who have all inclusive. I think even in 4-star hotels it is included. Those who wrote that the food is tasty, apparently they have never eaten tasty food or do not know how to cook it. There are two large swimming pools on the territory, which is very good. Hotel for young people a bit boring , since there is almost no entertainment there. But for the older generation it will be great, very quiet. I give the room 5 stars, the service too, but the food 2 stars!

Lovely location and excellent pool area adjacent to the hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our 'garden view' room had no view at all as the greenery was very tall and beyond that was a white painted wall.

Terry Downes

Possibly the prettiest little harbour I've ever visited. Lots of bars and restaurants which make the most of the scenery. The hotel is just around the corner from the cove (walk out and turn right). The hotel is peaceful as there are no children. The entertainment on the rooftop bar is fun. The rooms are generally small but cool (the air conditioning seems to work well). The balcony is tiny but welcome, we have a poolside view on the second floor and it suits us fine. If you enjoy a relaxed pace and love the sea then this is the place for you.

Michaela Hall

The rooms are spotless and cleaned everyday by wonderful people. The food is excellent , with loads of choices. The staff are 5 star, especially Monica who took it on herself to teach me Spanish phases. The location is the best I have ever visited. Sitting drinking coffee on the sea view balcony watching the boats go past in the sunny weather is an absolute dream .

David Dalgliesh

Had a great time at the Barcelo Hamilton. One of the best locations for a hotel that we've stayed in. Views from balcony and rooftop are just stunning 👌🏻 On the the down side, we thought the food could have been better. Breakfast is fine but omelettes were still have cooked with the egg mixture still running out onto my plate. Next morning I asked the cook if she could let it cook longer which seemed to upset her and I got it undercooked yet again. No more omelette for me. This happened again at lunch with the pork cutlets, however I could always find something within the buffet that I could eat. Food at the pool bar is not complementary under AI until 3pm. So if you fancy a snack at 2pm you must pay or attend the buffet restaurant. Also some of the cocktails like strawberry daiquairi are not offered on All inclusive so better to ask the bar person before ordering. My final negatives are the air conditioning in our room was very poor. I asked at reception if they could check it and they agreed. However, it never got any better, so really warm at nights. Apart from these niggles it is a good hotel. If they cooked better, cooled the rooms and allowed All inclusive at all bars 10.00 to 23.00 I would give it 5 stars. At 3k for 7 nights for a couple I expected better.

There are stunning views of Mahon bay from the superior sea view rooms, although views from some of the first floor are limited due to the ground floor of the hotel extending forwards, ask for a sea view room on a higher floor level if possible (4th floor best) and rooms numbered 115 to 124, 215 to 214 etc.  for best views. Rooms are compact, with an unusual bathroom layout (separate WC and shower areas, washbasin in the bedroom). Our superior sea view room had a safe, kettle and fridge, all at no extra charge. The WiFi was fast enough and didn't drop out. We found the evening meal offering  disappointing, with limited choice and food not always hot. Also there were always small flies around the buffet which was off putting; other reviewers have commented on this.  We didn't find the restaurant up to our expectations of a 4 star hotel, and have had much better at 3 star hotels. There are numerous restaurants a short walk away, if we returned we would opt for bed and breakfast. All the staff we met were friendly and efficient,  the hotel was clean, the rooms spotless. The outdoor pool is sheltered and offers sun and shade, whereas there was little shade on the rooftop area. There are small shops just off the square a couple of minutes away, and lots of restaurants and bars ariund the bay to the right of the hotel. There is a good bus service to Mahon, only €1.75 each way (cash only). There is a water taxi, €15 per person return, or €10 one way to Mahon.

I am staying here as I write this review. The staff are ALL LOVELY. Can’t fault the location. I would strongly advise paying for the sea view. The thing that lets this hotel down so much is that on the website they make a huge thing about the hotel rooftop terrace and sea views - and rightly so. Which makes it unfathomable that the rooftop bar is never open. To get a drink in the best spot with the best views you have to wait for one of the two slowest lifts in the world to take you down 5 floors. Walk up a ramp. Walk past the ‘enclosed by the hotel’ swimming pool, up approximately 25 steps, then repeat the process to get back to the rooftop terrace. . By the time you are back you need another drink. It really is unbelievable. The rooftop bar should be open ever day. There are enough of the lovely staff to manage it. It suggests a complete lack of foresight by the rmanagement.
