Discussions regarding holidays in Menorca.
I was a rep in this hotel in 2000. It was considered one of Thomsons flagship hotels, constantly outranking the other superfamily properties on the Island and from what I can see now, still is! I went to Menorca again in June 2005 as a holiday maker and looked in this hotel whilst out driving my other half around. It has changed but for the better! Paddling pool for children put in, still clean and tidy, loads of staff andmore childrens facilities!

Does anyone know if the lovely english ladies still runs the shop? She was extremey kind and friendly.

Hi Emma,

I went there for the buffet breakfast three times when I was staying in Santo Tomas a couple of years ago, it was delicious!

Pippy :D

am going to the playa royal hotel in santo thomas in a couple of weeks and wondered if anyone knew if they accepted the new American Express Travellers Cheque Card, which is an alternative method to taking paper travellers cheques. The travel agent couldnt tell me if this particular hotel accepted the card or not.
Many thanks

Hi, I meant the VICTORIA PLAYA, doing well aren't I :lol:

Yep many years ago and we had a great holiday. It is a quiet resort with only a few bars and shops but is ideally situated for getting out and about in a car as lots of places in easy driving distance.

The hotel is directly on the beach, so easy access, and you can walk for miles on the sandy beach in both directions.

The Victoria playa is excellent, the reps do everything possible to help and put on a very good show, not many (if any) will know that they have been rehearsing recently until 2am in morning (at no extra pay in addition to the paltry £400 per month they get) to get it right. No I'm not a rep!

I don't know if it's still there but when we went in 2004 there was a bar called 'Halley's Bar' which showed football matches. About sixty seconds walk from the VP!
