Just arrived back to-day after 2 weeks here it's a really nice hotel. The entertainers Dan and irish Sarah are very good and so are all of them, there is always activities going on and the food is good.

On the second week we went into the resort more and it is very quiet but lovely only a few shops, crazy golf for kids and a few bars spread out.

We hired a car for 2 days and it was well worth it not expensive to hire and very easy to drive around the island and see the resorts its beautiful.

Also the beach in Santa Tomas is not crowded at all and very quiet would definately return here.

Wonderful hotel if you have children. Reps were fantastic. Childrens entertainment was very good. Adult entertainment was ok but did not start until 10 at night and finished by 11.30.

Too many children allowed to stay up till very late.
Not enough umbrellas for use with sun beds. You had to be down by the pool very early as people put their towels on the sun beds.

Dissappointing that you had to pay 20 euros for sun beds on the beach.

Food was wonderful and staff were very freindly. We would recommend this hotel to families with children.

The Victoria Hotel is set in a fantastic location on the beach.

The beach is fab and very clean - just a word of warnig - on some days there is a very strong current that comes from the Son Bou direction. All three of our family got caught in this and were extremely shaken up. There is a flag system and a lifeguard so you should be safe.

Not too keen on the entertainment - not my cup of tea.

Food was good and plenty of choice.

Most nights we spent at a little bar up the road on the left - don't know what is was called - serves snack meals, icecream, etc. Would highly recommend it, the drinks are much cheaper than the hotel, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing and the Spanish couple that own it are lovely.

Having just returned from a weeks holiday, we were glad to say that it wasn't for two!

The hotel bedrooms looked as if they had just been redocorated and were very clean. However, the public rooms could do with an refurb in particular the seating areas.

Food was good but nothing special!

Waiting staff were so polite and friendly couldn't do enough.

Entertainment was as expected very family orientated. Lots of little children and babies with their mums and dads dancing till all hours.

After all my quibbles we did enjoy our stay but would not return to either this hotel or resort.

If you do not have small children then i would not recommend this hotel.

Victoria Playa, Santo Tomas, Menorca. A well maintained, spotlessly clean building in an excellent location for family holidays. Very little traffic with access to the beach direct from the grounds.

Food was good with plenty of choice. All the staff were polite and keen to help.

Thomson reps. worked very hard, particularly Dan, if he can remain this enthusiastic all season he will deserve a medal!.

Children's entertainment was first class.

Our group consisted of three generations aged from 2 years to 58 years. As a family holiday this was excellent and we are very likely to return.

This may not appeal to couples without children or those looking to please teenagers.

Having stayed in this Hotel in 2003 and 2004 the whole family were disappointed with the Thompson Entertainment Reps. The entertainment was lacklustre and not a patch on previous years especially too many Magic shows!!! It was such a shame to encounter this as although any Super Family holiday is geared towards the kids enjoyment we all agreed that the 14-days we spent in the hotel was extremely boring. When we had rainy days no additional entertainment was provided. We just had to sit around and play cards all day.


However, the Spanish Waiters/Waitresses and Bar Staff were up to the usual high standard and the food in the Restaurant was superb.

The bedrooms and common areas were exceptionally clean as always.

The poor entertainment and lack of enthusiasm from the Thompson Reps has put us off booking for next year.

I just want to add in response to Snappy's report, that the things spotted on the coastal path which look like syringes are most likely harmless light-sticks, used for night fishing....I too was alarmed when I first saw one of these poking out of the sand in Son Bou, but if you look, they don't have a needle, they are just a tube of liquid...I went out of my way to find out what they were as I didn't like the idea of our toddler finding them whilst she was playing on the beach.

Although at the beginning we thought the rooms were quite small and basic we soon realised that it was not much of a problem - as we only spent time in rooms to sleep.

Hotel was always very clean and hotel staff were friendly. Dining room was a good size and never had to wait very long for a table.

Waiters and waitresses were friendly especially Miguel. There was a good choice of food and always able to find something we liked.

The hotel is right on the beach which was great - clean, nice sand & clear sea. There is also a row of shops down the road with a supermarket that sells good range of food.
Entertainment was good.

Daytime quizzes and activities with the entertainers Baby Jane and Magic Martin and childrens disco, prize presentation and Thompson the dog show in the evenings. Wednesday was Mega day where the reps challenged the guests throughout the day in a range of activities finishing with a final in the evening entertainment. It was also the reps show in the evening (the best of all the evening shows).

The reps were friendly towards everybody. Baby Jane and Magic Martin were well known by everyone and Spike (Paul) ,head kidzone rep, is popular with all the guests as he is friendly and slightly mad!

We would definetly go back to Victoria Playa. The best thing about our holiday was the entertainment from the reps! Spike is the best!

Thomson Superfamily certainly live up to their name. 15 Representatives are at the hotel and each and every one of them give 110%. On the information desk there is Sarah, Famena and Nicky - all very knowledgeable about the island and extremely helpful.

The entertainment team are full of energy, enthusiasm and fun. A special mention goes to Magic Martin. He keeps the magic going from mid morning until mid-night. His stamina is amazing, pool games, discos, pre shows and especially the rep show - he is there with a constant smile.

As we didn't have children we cannot say too much about the kids reps but they all were very cheerful and welcoming.

The hotel is situated at the quiet end of Santo Tomas with a lovely sandy beach only a few steps away.

The restaurant and bar staff were very courteous, the food fantastic with so much variety - I challenge anyone to manage all the puddings on offer!
