Hi Cala N Bosch Hotel

out of the seven outside people came in, One was the acrobat man who has been there for the last 3 years and one night a woman came in with speakers-amps etc ,I thought at last a singer , turned out to be a Spanish singer.

The Spanish enjoyed it as after the bingo the games and music played was all towards them, unfortunately the catering was also aimed a lot more towards the Spanish with Fish most nights.

All in all we won't be booking up for next year, the Hotel is still nice and in a great location, the rooms are clean (apart from a few ants), towels are changed every day, the staff are helpful and the food is still good for the money but we ended going out to the pub most nights to watch TV rather than listen to the same old music and be surrounded by OAP waltzing around the dance floor and walkways.

The rooms are what let the hotel down, the cleansliness and bathrooms are excellent but if there is three of you in a room the third bed ( a camper bed) is very uncomfortable and hard. The lifts in the hotel are very small and rickety and often get stuck ( during my stay i got stuck in them twice!!!). The location of the hotel could not be better the beach has lots of free sunbeds and is very roomy but often gets filled also there is peddalos to rent for an hour which are very fun to use. The marina really tops of the hotel beacuse it is such a friendly and excitable atmosphere its hard to not go there every night, there is a wide selection of shops and resturants and supermarkets just on your door. The pool is of excellent quality with access by steps or a ramp for disabled people the pool is not saltwater it is their tap water which is still a bit salty. The hotel itself doesnt have wi-fi but in the marina opposite regal maribels their is a bar called \'toms bar\' which has free wi-fi so it might be wise to sit just outside there if you like using the internet but cant find anywhere. You can purchase cooled water from reception for a price of 1.50 eurose ( 1.5l) also accross the road in the hotel casa del lago there is a 24 hour shop which sells all kind of things from food essential to bathroom essentials, it is no chilled but for judt 1.99 you can purchase 5l of water which is a wise thing to do because it is not wise to drink the tap water there.If you want a unique present to take home there is a man in the marina who does stunning pictures using just cans of spray paint but still goes into great detail they are 20 euros each or 2 for 30, if you are to buy one you will need som silicon ( NOT grease proof) paper to wrap it in to take home, we got ours for 3.5 euros from the supermarket ( it say non- adherent) they are definitely worth the money and look absolutely fantastic in a frameless frame to hang on your wall.There are washing machines and tumble dryers in the hotel( 3 euros a wash/dry) washing tablets are expensive from reception so it is best to got to the local spar which is left out the hotel and across the bridge a bit.The washers are located on the first floor to the left of the lifts through the fire exit door and straight in front of you. Also available from reception to rent are beach towels, irons, kettles and umbrellas they are all about 7 euros a week, so not cheap. Also available to rent for the family are pedal buggys which are available from reception for 9 euros for one hour also there are bikes available from reception for ten euros a day. Within walking distance of the hotel is aquarock which is menorcas biggest water park ang go karting site, it is 17 euros for adults 16+ or 11 for children but it is half price after 3.00 pm, there are leaflets at reception for more information and you can also get discount coupons from your reps ( depending who your with) also for directions ask at the bar or reception.

holiday here and the weather for May was fantastic ( nice unexpected heatwave while we were there )

round the hotel, in the pool and taking part in the entertainment.

no complaints from us at all.

The rooms facing the pool and beach get the morning sunshine and the rooms at the front of the hotel get the late afternoon and evening sunshine. The rooms on that side - on the higher floors, have a view over the marina.

Food - excellent. Plenty of choice all the time, it never became repetitive. Dining room staff were great and we never had to wait for a table - plenty of high chairs too. There is also a microwave if you need to heat up baby jars or milk.

Entertainment staff were second to none, boy these guys work hard. If you did not want to get involved there was no hassle, they were happy if you did or did not. Our wee one was a bit too small for the daytime activities they put on for the kids - aged between 3 & 4 to 9 & 10 are perfect ages really for this hotel. However he loved the kids disco in the evening and we had a job keeping him off the stage! The bingo was a laugh (never played in my life before but hey ho you are on holiday and lets get in the spirit!) My dad won 180 euros one night so it was worth it! The shows from 10pm were really good too - some put on by the entertainment team, some professional acts - all very good. Loved Grease - hilarious!

Location - you could not ask for any better. Right on the beach and only a very short walk to the bars and restaurants round the marina.

Hotel staff - from the dining room, to the bar staff to the cleaners to the entertainment team - hats off to you all. We will see you all again next year.
