I booked this holiday as it was a 4* and i've been so terribly disappointed with the quiality of a 3* in the past. The difference was evident immediately. The quality, cleanliness and attention to detail was excellent.
The kitchens had the benefit of a microwave which was a suprise as we had not expected this together with a toaster and kettle. Crockery and cutlery were simply equipped and the only thing we could have done with were deeper bowls for cereal. Maybe pack some plastic ones if your kids like that for breakfast.
The rooms were all double glazed and were very quiet at all times and all curtains had blackouts which aided a peaceful sleep. I use a lot of pillows and when housekeeping saw that i was using a blanket under the pillow they supplied another 3 without being asked.
The gardens and communal areas were spotlessly clean and well maintained. I even saw someone putting shine on the plant pots!
The pool was spotless too. This was a little of a disappointment to me as it did not appear as big and sprawling as the picture online depicted. There were no quiet spots to sunbathe although there was never any problem getting a sunbed. Also, the childrens pool was no bigger than a very small hot tub. Having said that it was pretty and wouldn't put me off returning.
The hotel staff were professional, polite and helpful. The evening entertainment left a lot to be desired and the resident entertainment team worked very hard but only produced very mediocre entertainment. With only a handful of guests staying until the end it proved it wasn't just me thinking the same. However, the professionals shows were very good.
All in all an excellent hotel and resort. I will be booking for next year and staying for longer.

Rooms spotless, well equipped kitchen complete with kettle and toaster.
Brochure states ideal for older children, our 5 year old loved it. She took part in the activities arranged for her age group and enjoyed everyone she decided to join in with. The entertainment crew were fabulous with the kids and encouraged participation without being pushy.
We had a few meals in the hotel and found them fantastic value and as good variety and quality as in the restraurants around the marina.
If your self catering we would recommend the Spa shop next to La Oca restaurant, 5 minutes from the hotel and has fresh baked bread rolls and croissants first thing in the morning.
The only downside to our stay was that we were in block 4 near to the entertainment stage. If you didn't wish to watch or listen to the evenings entertainment, unfortunately you could still hear it in our room until it finished around 11.30pm.
We loved the hotel, is situation the resort and are already looking to return in September this year.

Visted Viva Menorca Apartments for one week in June.
Really clean apartment and grounds. Staff and entertainers were all good humoured and polite. Lots of entertainment for kids. Mini disco for kids in evening followed by a variety of shows (some by hotel entertainers, some by other performers).
Visited Marina in Cala'n Bosch on a couple of evenings and had one night in Ciutadella.
Had an excellent week and will go back one day.

Visited Viva Menorca with my husband and 11 year old son. Lovely hotel, spacious rooms. We paid for evening meal upon arrival at hotel.
This worked out cheaper than booking it through travel company. The food was nice, not a good choice of desserts. Not many people seemed to go to restaurant, probably ate out.
If you have a family I would say it is a good idea to eat in restaurant. Hotel was very clean. Only downside was when room was cleaned (supposedly) the only thing which seemed to be done was the beds being made.
No cleaning in our room seemed to be carried out the whole time we were there. Location of hotel - nice walk to harbour and restaurants/bars. The entertainment left a lot to be desired, but to be fair, they did try their best but I think with a 4 star rating the entertainment should be better.
Two of the shows were repeated during our 2 week stay.

First impressions were very favourable. Arrived about 11pm and staff were very polite & friendly. We opted for private taxi from airport - 1hr, which was booked through travel agent

We booked self catering, but when we arrived there was a reasonably priced option for us to go half board which we took up for the 2nd week.
The food in the hotel was excellent and was as good as anything that we had tried in the resort restaurants.
The apartments were spotless and we can confirm that the apartments have now been equipped with kettle and toaster - we had new ones delivered to our room on the day of arrival.
We travelled with our 1 year old daughter and the hotel were happy to provide any assisatance they could. the staff were always friendly and had smiles on their faces and the hotel is very professionally run.
The daytime hotel entertainment is provided by the 4 hotel entertainment team which is good. They do need to impove the evening entertainment programme as the hotel entertainment team try their best but are left wanting. They do bring in acts from outside the hotel who are good.
We note from previous reports that the pavements to the Marina were a problem. We can confirm that the pavements were been repaired when we were there and should be much better in a few weeks time.

Stayed in Viva Memorca,late deal with First Choice.
Staff friendly, rooms cleaned six days of the week and were spotless, although there was no kettle or toaster, there was a seperate area with sink and hairdryer leaving the bathroom free. Towels changed every day if left in bath.
Plenty of sunbeds pool fatastic. Reps excellent, organising events etc.
Did not eat in restaurant as self catering. Only down point was that we arrived after 10 at night and restaurant on site closed, bar open but did not sell food, had to drop of cases and go straight to marina for food, would have appreciated if supermarket stayed open late on night of arrival.
Will definitely go back to Viva Menorca again.

We didnt know what to expect as we had never travelled to Menorca before, and we were certainly not disapointed by the Viva Menorca Appartments.
The appartments are situated around a pool/entertainment area that was thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis. The apartments themselves were lovely and clean, certainly adequate for the both of us, although a family may find the kitchen and eating area a bit small. We didnt eat at the restaurant although it did look clean and tidy and others who travelled to the same resort said the food was great.
There is a small shop on site, and several supermarkets within walking distance. The evening entertainment was OK especially the traditional singing/dancing, but hotel entertainments arent really important to us.
The harbour area with its bars and shops was about a 10 minute walk away.
We would definately stay there again.

Have just returned 2 days ago from the viva menorca apartments and would like to say what a great time we had there. I would definetly give it a 4 star, but even though I knew beforehand, no kettle and no toaster is rather poor. We were a lot nearer to the marina and beach than I first thought, which was really nice, the sea is a beautiful clear aqua. The hotel staff were really good (once you got them to understand you!) and the entertainment was good especially for the kids. One last thing, go on a boat trip, it was absolutley fantastic and visit cuitadella it is something else!

Even though we were self catering we did have breakfast every morning at the Viva and it was excellent. Rooms a bit on the small side but very clean and comfortable.We did'nt watch the entertainment at night as we enjoyed the Marina so much.
Staff were lovely and on my birthday came to our room with a bottle of wine courtesy of The Viva.We liked the Tapas bar,the Chinese above the Britannia pub,Cafe Balear and the Pizza place. We did'nt like the Mexican(nothing special but not good value).
We are coming back to Cala n Bosch this year as we loved it.Get a taxi to Cuidadela don't go on the bus it may be a few euro's cheaper but with no AC it gets very hot.
