The Hotel itself is very nice, room was fairly spacious for the 3 of us (1 being a 2 year old). Pools were nice, clean etc. but it was a bit too cold to go in. Play area and kids club (still running this late in the season!). Across the car park you get to the mini golf with another pool, jacuzzi and snack bar. Plenty of space around the complex. It was pretty quiet when we went as it was so close to the end of the season.

Evening entertainment was still on, including a disco for the kids and shows at about 10pm (we didn't stay up that late with a 2 year old!). There was no noise at night, which was good but if you had noisy neighbours you can hear right though the walls in the rooms.

My only problem with the hotel is the food. I wasn't expecting much as the brochure only gives the food 75% but it was a real shame. The choice was excellent, especially with the vegetable dishes, puddings pretty much the same every night. What spoilt it was that nothing was covered up so it didn't stay warm long and one night I went straight over for some fresh food just brought out and it was actully brough out from the kitchen cold. Bread stayed out from morning to night so was always stale. The soup was good though! I just don't think it was good enought to offer an all inclusive option and anyone who chose this was ripped off! I also think that as this is a family hotel, encouraging people to drink and drink with the all inclusive option is a bad idea. They certainly wouldn't be getting their money's worth on the food!

Punta prima is nice. We ate at Casa Ferma a few times(friendly and good food - try the grilled prawns). Not a lot there but kids enjoy catching fish and crabs in the rock pools and digging on the beach. The best place for young children though seemed to be Cala Galdana with very shallow water and good facilities but the transfer time is between 45mins and an hour.

I'd certainly recommend a visit to Ciutadella, a lovely old harbour with nice shops and restaurants and the views from Monte Toro are great. Mahon is more modern with clothes shops, shoe shops etc. and plently of boat trips. We also visited the Calas Coves, worth a look if you hire a car. You can actaully drive all the way down to the rocks but you won't believe it when you see the road. The caves were closed to preserve them but you can see them and climb around the rocks.

All in all, a good base for your holiday if, like us, you don't want to spend all your time in the hotel.

I would not recommend it if you have a disability as there is a hill down to the beach and access around the hotel is not great for wheelchairs.

We have just returned from our holiday and have the following comments to make:
The hotel was in a good location so if you wanted to walk to the beach it was nearby with a small assortment of restaurants and shops.

The hotel was clean and the rooms serviced daily. This was done efficiently and staff very pleasant.

The restaurant staff were a little unfriendly (some) but the service was prompt and food varied and thoroughly enjoyable. Good selection for adults and children alike.

The entertainment staff were truly amazing and kept all entertained each and every day. My son particularly enjoyed the mini club and though all of the staff were equally fantastic, Steve made the holiday even better - if possible.

All the entertainment staff worked extremely hard and ensured a good time was had by all. They really made our holiday a success and we would recommend this hotel in a second, thanks to all.

Just hopped off the plane from this great hotel.It has everything you need for a great accomadation apart from a kettle in the rooms,so bring your own.

The hotel was spottlessly clean,towels changed daily&bed linen changed every 4 days.We stayed half board and the food was excellent,a good varied choice,even the fussiest kids would fine something.

Again well presented and always being re-filled.Everything from Fish dishes to spring rolls and stews.Great deserts from friut to fancy creme-brulee.

The hotel was a short distance from a moderate size beautiful white sandy beach& the sea was clear&blue.There was just a few shops&resturants on the sea front but the hotels has enough to keep you entertained in the evenings and has its own disco which was situated underneath so no noise.

The hotel has its own entertainment team and they were fantastic, Especially STEVE who made our holiday thanks you wre great!!Good live shows in the evenings especiaaly at the weekends.There was a selection of other nationalities at his hotel and everyone was always friendly.

Would definitely return again.

Loads of things during the day from aqua aroebics to football,archery and tennis and MORE!!!

We could not fault the hotel at all as far as cleanliness was concerned.

The food was was alright but does not cater enough for the British, everything seemed to very continental(french,italian dishes espcially). The entertainmemt staff do a brilliant job the only problem is that everything is repeated in 5 different languages English, French, German, Spanish & Italian.

For the lads if you are All Inclusive then the beer is San Miguel. The reps were great with the kids. Punta Prima is a very small resort nothing much doing.

If you tavel with First Choice then the one trip that you must go on is Thursday night takeaway a brilliant night out.

Overall a good holiday I would return to Menorca but it would have to be a different resort.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo hotel and would possibly go back and visit next year. We would definitely recommend this hotel to families.

The hotel was very nice, very clean, staff were very friendly and always polite.

The food was reasonable - I and my partner ate ok as we are not fussy eaters, the children were a bit stuck at evening meal times as there wasn

We stayed here for two weeks all inclusive and the hotel was clean and tidy but the food was really bad anyone who enjoys food at this level needs help.

The location is very good and only a short walk to the beach.

I found a lot of the hotel staff were ignorant and unpleasant.

The entertainment was very good for our daughter, but it's very long winded as it's all done in five different languages.

All in all this is a nice hotel but only visit if your Spanish or Italian and you don't mind them being rude to you as they tried to be with us but they soon learnt 18 stone of British man is not having it..

On arrival we were greeted by the receptionist who was extremely pleasant and made special time to speak to our young son. This we found was the norm in this lovely hotel. All the staff smile and greet you and take a special pleasure in speaking to the children.
I personally kept waiting for something to be out of place or food not cooked adequately or just something not right. Lo and behold I found nothing to complain about or even report here. Oh, one thing. The strip light in out bathroom was not working. I reported it to reception first thing in the morning and it was replaced by the time we came back from breakfast!! That's what I call service.

The food was buffet service other than drinks. All the food was "signposted" in various languages. No need for the old dictionary here. My wife, Audrey, specifically loved the cheeses. Me too in fact. The buffet was always being topped up, no dried up or cold food was left out.

The hotel's location was great, only a couple of hundred yards from the beach. In between the main part of the hotel was a garden that my son loved walking in. "Can we go for a walk in our garden?" was heard from him on numerous occasions. Beyond that was a small kids playpark and a crazy golf course. Even that area had a couple of small swimming pools and a nice bar area. The main complex had 3 pools including a small paddling one for the tots. We didn't spend much time poolside. We preferred to hit the beach. 6 euros for a sunbed along with a parasol, but it was worth it. The beach was quite busy with both tourists and locals, but not so cramped that you were tripping over eachother.

Beside the beach there is a few restaraunts/cafes. Although we were all inclusive we had a couple of meals out at night in Punta Prima and a lovely night out in Es Castell. I would have to say that the food was not whae expected, but on the whole it was good in our nights out. The service everywhere was excellent. The waiters take time to explain things to you and take time to speak to the children and try and keep them amused.

The kids club was very good. It was run by a lovely lady who hails from Mallorca. She was ably assisted by staff who I think mainly hail from Italy. After the kids games and dances there was bingo some nights. After that every night had something different.

We would certainly go back to this hotel. If any of the staff happen to read this, we would like to say thank you for making our holiday so memorable. We will have many happy memories to treasure.

The hotel was immaculate. Towels were changed daily, and bedding on a 4 day rota. Everywhere was so clean, fresh and a lovely hotel to stay in. The entertainment team don't seem to stop from morning till night. The downside is that it seemed to us the hotel was geared towards Italian visitors, not that was a problem to us, it's just sometimes we felt "pushed to one side" in favour of the other guests. There was plenty of choice in the restaurant and the snack bar, especially if you like fish and salads! If you don't, then there is always pasta on, the sauces were a bit unrecognisable, but edible. The kids weren't overly impressed with the choice in the restaurant, but they always had the snack bar to visit.

Couldn't fault the hotel at all.
The location is up a hill but it is only about 200 mt to the beach.
The rooms are kept spotless and all the staff are friendly and helpfull.
The entertainment is more targeted at the younger age groups,
The food lets down the hotels 3 stars and they need to offer a better and more varied choice.

We just got back home were gutted but the holiday was great especialy if you have kids the weather was hot!
Only thing is there was no pubs/bars outside so we had to stay in at the hotel late disco which was great we danced everynight with our german friends!
The hotel was great and the staff!
Its a very quiet town though but suitable if you come with the family! We enjoyed it.
