justval visited here on September 2012
Very pretty but also quiet. Not sure if it was the time of year we went as it is right at the end of their season and there were many places closed for the winter. But there are quite a few bars/restaurants and tat shops. The vast majority of people on holiday there seem to be British or from the Spanish mainland and it has a nice quiet feel about it.

There are just 3 main streets with shops/ bars/ restaurants etc leading off from the square. All the usual places to hire cars/mopeds etc are available and there is a bus service to Mahon that runs several times a day.

I think you would probably get bored staying there ...
for longer than a week. I can recommend The Village Pub and also Sa Paissa. There is also Flava, Salamander and Big Al's Steakhouse and a few other smaller places but we did not venture into them as they were closed for the winter. Beware if you smoke though, there is one tobacco shop and nowhere else sells cigarettes. If that is shut, you have to go to Mahon to get them unless you have your own supply. I also think younger kids would get bored as there is maybe one play area for them and not a lot else.

The beach is nice but it was shut for 3 days when we were there due to gale force winds making the sea dangerous. The actual inlet where the beach is beautiful and generally well sheltered from the storms/heavy currents.

The other thing is there really isnt much for small children to do, yes there is trampolines across the road from the Siesta Mar but they were charging 3 euros for 20mins, the Fun House, a bit further down were offering 3 euros for the whole day, although they only had one tramploine, they did have 2 bouncy castles and 2 soft play areas, so we ended up there most nights as we have a 3 year old and a 7 year old. We did not find any childrens discos or that sort of entertainment suitable for young children in the resort. Most of the entertainment was tribute bands which started about 10pm and were very loud, my 3 year ...
old hated it and we could hear the music in our villa which was about half a mile away.
Also do not eat in the Salmandra - we choose it because it had a play area - thinking we could eat and the children could but there were so many hazards i.e big slide had two runs missing from it so small children cant get up it, swings would tip small children out, lots of trip hazards, uneven surface so you must be with them, so many parents would let the children play unsupervised and every time we were there we would see a child crying. We tried the resturant 3 times, just because all the other restuarnts did not have anywhere for the children to play and our 3 year old will not sit down for more than 10mins at a time, however we realsied they had overcharged us on our first visit and our third visit we left before our food arrived because we waited so long, it wasn\'t even the busiest part of the evening as we would always eat quite early.
the beach is lovely but does get very busy, yes there are quite a few steps but we used the road to go down and the steps to come back up so it wasn\'t that bad but I would try it with a buggy.
The resort is bigger than some I\'ve stayed at - yes I have been to menorca many many times with and without children but I was abit disappointed there wasn\'t more for younger children to do in the evening so i would return

The beach was great, clean and you felt safe with plenty life-guards about who weren\'t just there for decoration, they did actually work...Kayaks and pedlos a bit expensive but good fun. Walk to the beach a bit strenuous with 180 steps to climb but I was fitter by the end of my stay!!
The restaurants can be a bit pricey, especially for drinks payed nearly £5 for a pint of Guiness in one bar, didn\'t make that mistake twice.

m visited here on July 2009
Beach beautiful but expensive (17 euro for 2 sunbeds). Steps a killer to get to and from beach but there is a minbus that takes you there 3-4 times a day. Resort generally small with approx 20 restaurants/bars and a few shops. 3 supermarkets, 1 pharmacy, 2 cash machines. Very expensive resort with a main meal and drink each costing approx 50 euro for 4 of us. Small market on sqaure twice a week with about 5 stalls. Entertainment on sq. at times but starts about 10pm. Good bus service to mahon several times a day for 1.40 euro each.

Bahia Park Apartments stars Bahia Park Apartments
The Bahia Park Apartments are not too far from the resort centre, and the beach. Especially suited to families and those who enjoy pool and beach based holidays. Due to number of steps in the complex these apartments are unsuitable for the less mobile.

Siesta Mar Apartments stars Siesta Mar Apartments
Near a sandy beach, the Siestamar Apartments are ideal for families. The complex is in two parts, both with pools. The Siestamar 2 is the hub of the complex and suits those after a lively holiday. The Siestamar 1 is across the road and is more relaxed.
