Now's not the time to tell you that we are followers of the Old gold and Black?

Are you flying from Birmingham?
We are going from Manchester as the flight times are better for us. Its only an hour or so to Manchester for us and the state of the M6 at the moment means it probably would take the same from Wolverhampton to Brum!!!

Back in 2001 I had to fly back during a holiday in Tenerife (holiday from hell in Los Cristianos. Murder, Meningitis, Mass Robberies and a flooded apartment in the space of a fortnight. I am NOT joking!

)to be best man at my best mates wedding (flew home Friday came back Sunday Morning!!!) I went via Madrid. I flew the 800 or so miles from Madrid to B'ham airport, faster than the journey in my dads car from B'ham to Wolverhampton (24 miles)!!!! Darned road!! Interesting 14 days that shall not fade from the memory very quickly!!

Gold n Black, well if we meet for a drink i will just have to wear a disguise to save me any further embarrassment Ha Ha

Instead of my Villa top for recognition i will be carrying a TESCO carrier bag :lol:

We are flying from East Midlands which is only 40 minutes away, but will have to get hotel / parking due to an early flight.

Hotel Sur Menorca has a very good cheese selection on the buffet.

Mrs Ivyann will be pleased about that! She told me that there is a cheese producer that does tours of its factory, that she intends to go to. (Alaior?)

Think we'll do it on the way to Ciutadella.

Ciudadela is well worth the visit, lovely harbour with plenty of restaurants and shops. There's also a nearby beach, we visited Ciudadela a few times last year while staying at Cala 'n Bosch.

We are hiring cars out for 3 days to venture out to see more of the island, been told Arenal d'en Castell is very nice.

There is also a train that takes you to Binibeca beach (apparently) from the Hotel Sur Menorca.

Cycles.

I found no mention on the First Choice website, so can anyone who has been to the hotel tell me whether thay have bikes we can use or would we have to hire from Punta Prima?

I can answer my own question!!
Found more details about the hotel from a German site. Seems they do hire out cycles!!

jonah126, there is a noddy train that runs from the Hotel to Binebeca, it also goes down to Punta Prima beach, I think the last train back is 10.15pm from the beach to Sur Menorca Hotel.

Thanx fidget, seen some pictures of Binibeca and it looks very nice did you vist while you where there.

Did you say you went to the Sur Menorca this month - what was the weather like.

fidget

Weather was fantastic.
We went down to Binebeca on the Noddy train, then got Noddy train back as far as Binebeca Vell. There is a lovely bay there, with a beach bar. Then walked back to Sur Menorca from there. Its not a bad walk along the coast road.

What was the food like was there lots of variety for both adult and child.

fidget

Food was great, plenty of choices.

Also if your fully AI you can eat all day, when the restraunt is closed the snack bar seems to open!!

We had a toddler with us so ate early each night (7pm), then we walked down to Punta Prima, toddler came back to Hotel on Noddy train at 10.15 with his parents, me and husband walked back later on. Really good pavements and street lighting, quite a pleasant walk.

Hi fidget / christine w, been told if you plan to go outside the Hotel grounds for long periods of time Beach etc, they make up a picnic box for you to take.

That walk to Punta Prima sounds nice i will be trying it out in 6 weeks :lol:

They will make up a picnic lunch for you to take out. You have to order it before 8pm the day before you need it.

I didn`t see a a la carte menu when we were there, perhaps it`s something new this year. I wish we were going back to the Sur Menorca. Going to see if we can get in next year.

Are they still singing sunshine for you sunshine for me?

Glad your enjoying it. Entertainment was typical hotels stuff but at least your sat outside. We really enjoyed it when we our son was so entertained mostly in the floodlite football court.
