We found everything about this hotel excellent. The rooms were well equipped and very clean. We thought the hotel was very clean and well maintained. The reception staff and restaurant staff particularly helpful. The food we found was of good quality and plenty of it, different choices every day and plenty of selection for the kids, our 2 year old lived on pasta and rice with fruit and ice cream for dessert. The breakfast was also good with cereals, continental or cooked breakfast on offer.

The pool was great, our 2 children aged 2 and 4 loved it. The entertainment quite good especially the Kylie/madonna/robbie tribute show which was excellent.

The childrens entertainer "Armando" was a great hit with all the kids, he did games in the day and the mini disco at night which the kids loved and the adults found very amusing.

Spent wonderful week here. Comfortable and Clean Apartment. Self Catering but used Restaurant twice-varied Buffet.

Pool very good especially for children.

Plenty of sun beds but go early for best position around pool.

Staff friendly and helpful especially Restaurant and Bar Manager.

Linen and towels changed regularly and apartment cleaned.
Armando kept us all amused with his mini-disco-but I think he has now moved on.

Don't let the hill put you off this hotel. I am 72, my daughter is pregnant and my grandaughter is 2 and we never found it a problem, sometimes twice a day. I took extra care on the steps down to Beach but once again no problem.
Cala Galdana is a beautiful spot with plenty of restaurants and bars.

Thoroughly recommend Sa Lluna half way up the hill - what a welcome we had.

First Choice Reps always friendly and helpful - well done.

No air conditioning, we had to hire an additional fan for 15euros per week. Hotel and apartment clean.

Room well equiped with toaster and kettle.

We took the steps down to the beach and walked back up the hill, we did take the train a couple of time at 2euros each person.

Pool was great, no need to rush to get a sunbed we never had a problem.

Kids club was really great, the kids reps really cared and our two had a great time. Armando the hotel entertainer was "fab" did mini disco each night and then extra entertainment after, quiz night, bingo, acts. Everything stopped at the latest 11pm which is good if you have small kids, the restaurant/bar near the hotel is open till late if you fancy another drink and its right next to very small park with a couple of things on it "this is well lit and looks as though it is part of the restaurant/bar.

If the hotel had a better location and air conditioning i would return.

We went to the Cala Galdana hotel on the front a couple of times for a change saw "blues brothers" fab.

We would definitley recommend the Anabel to families with young children (3 to 8).

It's a small, welcoming hotel set at the top of a hill about a mile away from the town centre. The hill is pretty steep, but the walk only takes 5-10 mins, so should be fine for most visitors, with supermarkets and a couple of nice restaurants along the way. Our one bedroom apartment was at the far end of the accomodation, so very quiet at night. Telly (with Sky Sports), fridge and microwave all included.

For the price differential, the range of food at the morning and evening buffets are wide enough to make half board the better tariff.

The bedroom was easily large enough for us to all sleep in, with our 3 year old on a ready bed in the same room as us. The maids came every second day and kept the room sufficiently clean.

For us, the key to the hotel is what it gives the kids - the First Choice reps were excellent, with 2 kids clubs almost every day. We weren't sure if our daughter would enjoy a kids club, being just 3, but she really enjoyed them. Armando (the "local" - well, Portugese kids entertainer) was absolutely fantastic - entertaining for the adults as well as the kids with the mini-disco at 8.30 each night and his water polo exploits by day. There isn't too much entertainment after 9.30, as the parents all shuffle off to put the kids to bed, but on our last night there was a live band shipped in.

The only things we could flag, if we had to raise anything would be that you're the last drop off on the way out from the airport and one of the first on the way back, about an hour each way. And sometimes the bar staff could do with a bit of help (at peak times). Oh, and the beach loungers (8 euros) and parasols (5 euros) aren't the cheapest for a day.

But overall I really wouldn't want to knock this place. Not for couples, but does everything you need it to for young families.

Have just returned and would highly recomend this hotel to anyone considering Menorca. Although on a hill, which could be tiresome with little ones, the apartments were a good size, the place was spotless and the rooms cleaned every other day or so.

The only problem was the lack of Air-con. They have a wall mounted electric fan in the bedroom, but it wasn't very good. The food was truly fabulous and in 14 nights, not one meal was duplicated. There was always a good choice for the children too.

The drinks were quite expensive and beware the sangria seemed alcohol-free.

The staff were fabulous and the children loved the kids clubs and Armando's mini disco each evening.

The hotel was great when we got there we were given very clear instructions to get to our room.

The food was great the choice was endless you could stuff yourself.

The room was cleaned every other day which was good.

The hill was not to bad but we stayed by the nice pool most days which was very nice (Water polo was great)

The kids club was great and the entertainer Armando was very good he made you laugh and the shows were great except one the parrot show when I had a parrot on my head and then they wanted 10e for it (Beware).

I would go back next year

Very clean and attractively laid out.Appartments are a little basic (had to hire kettle, toaster, hairdryer)but again very clean and spacious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the First Choice reps were great.The swimming pool is lovely - brilliant for children. Our 8 year old loved it - in fact she just loved the whole holiday! Loads of other children to play with, a great Kids' Club (run by excellent reps who did actually seem to like children!) and a mini-disco every night.All the families we spoke to said the same - if the kids are happy and well-catered for , it means a relaxing holiday for everyone.Can't wait to go back!

We only came back last week and already want to go again! We have two children (10 + 7) and they had a fantastic time. We were able to give them quite a bit of freedom as the complex is well enclosed and very safe. All the guests at the hotel were English and had children which meant that everyone was in the same boat - so no irritated looks when your kids had a strop in the restaurant! The food was superb especially the choice at breakfast and as it was buffet style the kids could eat as much as they wanted. We stayed for two weeks and it is the first time in over 10 years that none of us went down with a funny tummy! Very pretty well kept gardens, pool area gets a little bit crowded but otherwise superb.
Would definately go back (tomorrow if we could!)

This is one of the nicest hotels apartments we have yet stayed in.We went self catering and eveything was clean and helpful.There was a microwave , fridge ... the only thing was no toaster!Bad for self catering.

The hotel was very clean as well as the gardens very nice and presented well.The location is on a hill but not big at all people complain but it is really nothing at all.The entertainment is ok but nothing spaecial with quizzes and games.

We would definitely come her again. Hi to paul and dawn if you are reading this .

Stayed at the Annabel mid July had read reports about the mount Everest hill from the beach not too bad really if you get most of the way up pop in to the supermarket on the right treat the kids to a ice cream
and you will make it through.

Hotel was very clean.

Staff were excellent.

Entertainment was average but the big guy tried hard.

Food was reasonable and plenty of it.

Our eldest 6 went to the kids club he had a good time but if your are there for two weeks I think they might find it boring.

Sunbeds were left padlocked until 9.00am but it was not really a drama unless you wanted it to be. Lifeguard around pool was about as much use as a chocolate teapot apart from that no problems.

We would go back but probably only for a week as I think the kids would bet bored.

Apartments were clean well equipped an ours was cleaned three times in a week and we were offered another clean on the day we were leaving. decent holiday.
