mel reeve visited here on May 2012
Nothing much in resort, a few shops and eateries, very quiet. Plenty of walkers in our hotel so assume there must be lots of walking routes around there.

On our own yes, with kids no, too hot.

Beach great but sunbeds too expensive,9 euros each

Four Freinds visited here on September 2010
The resort was very clean, entertainment ok ,the in house entertainment team did their best and a couple of the tribute bands were excellent.

The pool area was very clean and the beach very clean with life guards but beware of the rocks as you wade out in the sea very sharp under foot (which was the only thing to spoil the lovely beach).

Further along the beach you will come across nudists! sunbathing in amongst normal bathers! apparently they seem to be \'wrinkly crinklys\' and mainly elderly gentlemen!? weird!!( this was reported back to my friend and I after the men had been for their morning walks)

Nice enough resort but not somewhere we will be returning as there is nothing much ...
in Son Bou and too far too walk to any other village.

Son Bou itself is quite quiet, there are lots of little shops as well as pubs/restaurants, a bowling alley, couple of supermarkets etc. Hotel transfer takes about 30 minutes depending what hotel you are staying at, there are 3 on the Son Bou route. Getting into Mahon is easy from the hotel, the bus stop is outside the hotel to the left. Don\'t panic thinking what if i get lost, as it is soooo easy. The route goes from Son Bou, to Allaior, then to Mahon. Make sure you get to the bus stop 10 minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave on a Tuesday and Saturday as this is when the market is in Mahon and it is ...
very busy! We wandered down about 2 minutes before, and were secind from last in the queue. They seem to have no worries about health and safety, all the seats were taken, so people were crammed into the aisle, as well as on the steps into the bus (when i say bus, it is like an English coach)! You are dropped off at like a bus station, they are all lined up in a line and have a board at the front telling you where the bus will take you. You have to travel into Mahon to get the bus to anywhere else on the island.

The beach is lovely, just keep an eye on the sea and the lifeguard flags as it can get a bit rough, but there are lifeguards situated all along the beach (which is the longest on the island). You can walk to St Thomas, which is the next reort along the coast, really pretty. You do have to walk swiftly past the nudist section though!

June Harrison & Keith McGibbon visited here on September 2009
The resort is very small compared to others on the island. We went for three weeks which is too long if you are not going for a chillout holiday, as we did. If you want lots of things to do of a night, don\'t go here. There is only 1 cabaret club, a bowling alley, and bars/restaurants. You can walk around the resort in 10mins. The resort area was spotless. The Copacabana had entertainment on most nights, loolalike groups - Supremes, Temptations, Elvis, Robbie Williams, Take That, most of them were very good, especially the Temptations and the Supremes. Josephs Bar did a lovely breakfast (english bacon & sausage) all their food was great in ...
fact, and very friendly people.
We had a few rainy days on our stay and though we would go to the bowling ally, but it was always closed during the day, which was a shame as I think quite a few people would have been glad of somewhere local to go when it was raining.
