Hi, no we have not been to Menorca before, but these apartments have a good reputation. We did Turkey last year and it was lovely. Iwill wait to check out Eclipse first. We are off to holiday village in Costa Del Sol in 5 weeks so i will probably book as soon as we get back. karen

The supermarkets have everything you need for a one year old, so you wont have any problems, cant comment about the cots as ive not stayed at the Viva but it looks like a great complex all the times ive been past it when ive been there.

Dont know if youre gonna be hiring a car, but theres a great supermarket on the outskirts of cuitadella called Hypermarket Diskont they have everything from fresh stuff, to lilos, clothes and shoes.

Have a great holiday!

Hello again tracy, i have checked it out and you can book bed & breakfast at the hotel. I am not sure wether it is cheaper that way but i am looking into it, i will let you know. First choice want an extra £600 to upgrade to half board.I have found AI in Greece for same price as half board in Menorca!! decisions, decisions!! karen

Hi,

Not sure if you have already booked or not but I stayed at the Viva Menorca last August. I booked the hotel through www. Wintersunshineholidays.com and booked the flights seperately. This worked out a lot cheaper than booking through the hotel or travel agents. Although it was on a room only basis it didn't matter because the rooms are actually mini apartments with a kitchen and living room area so we used to have cereal etc for breakfast in the apartment also there are lots of places that you could go out for breakfast near Viva Menorca also I think you could upgrade to B&B when you got there.

If you need any more information just ask

Vicky
