This hotel has to be one of the cleanest well kept hotels I have ever stayed in.

This is definitely the only one with a life guard. The pool is super and the staff are very friendly and polite. The only problem was it is on all different levels so there are steps everywhere (no good for disabled my aunt has arthritis and she found the steps a big hindrance)

It is a shame this hotel is in the sticks it would be my ideal hotel where I would go back year after year if it was on the outskirts of a good town where you could walk to have a look around the shops.

We also found this hotel catered more for Germans and there was plenty of them but if you don

We had an absolute fantastic time at this hotel. It was the best holiday possible for every member of the family the kids ages 12, 10 and 8 were completely catered for.

The food excellent and if anything we felt spoilt for choice.

The staff friendly esp the entertainment team Nasser etc, Very surprised by other comments about catering for Germans, we found that the hotel was a mixture of Brits Italians, Spanish and Germans, although on the second week of our stay we knew it was school summer holiday time back home because of a few loud Brits arriving, and I can honestly say they bought the resort down a bit. So I recommend taking the kids but book out of school holidays for a really enjoyable holiday.

The island itself is well worth seeing and don't be worried about hiring a car the driving is not as difficult as you would think and virtually impossible to get lost.

We will definitely be looking at returning to the Mar de Menorca because we all had such a fantastic time.

The hotel was as stated in the brochure quite in the middle of nowhere! Yet this particular' middle of nowhere' was beautiful with a lovely little cove.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic. Very well laid out and extememly clean. Now onto the food...what choice there was and it may have looked a little 'different' at times but tasted great! You do not go away to eat British food.

The staff were fantastic. They all spoke many, many languages and from the onset with the recepyion staff to the bar staff, to the waiters( who are very effecient at taking away dirty plates!!) onto the maids and Gemma who ran the mini club! Fantastic! Last but not by any means least were the 4 staff who worked the hardest and always with a smile for all were the Entertainment staff. Nasser, Klaas, Greet and Christina....Wow what can I say? They were the icing on the cake for us. These four not only speak many languages fluently but include everyone from youngsters to the grandparents.

We were gutted to leave what was our best holiday ever and will certainly be returning next year if not later on this year. 100% fantastic.

Aparthotel, Mar de Menorca, Canutells, Menorca. This accommodation is rated 3 star and is all inclusive.

We read several dismal reports about this place , but honestly it was all very good.

The room with one bedroom and single beds (there -in), was very clean . The seperate bathroom was also well appointed ( why the bidet was removed - i do not know? ) nice hot water and plenty of pressure. The sofa beds were excellent for the children ( 10 and 12 yrs ). Towels replaced every 2 days. Safe Available at extra cost.

The pool was very large and especially clean , very popular , but sunbeds still usually avialable.

The grounds were kept nicely too.

The bar was excellent . 1 euro for the plastic glass- good enough for a nice cold 'san miguel' beer !

The main resturant was very busy at certain times. They really need better toast making machines at breakfast - you need to queue up and then wait 5 mins whilst the low powered thing slowly browns the bread !
Other food was plentiful, a little boring as many items regularily appeared each serving ! Not really complaining as you would not expect it to be like 'at home' !


Our arrival was at tea time ,and we managed to get the evening meal . We stayed 7 nights , but had to 'book out' and vacate room at midday on the last day - We were not allowed to have a 'free' meal in the restaraunt prior to our departure , we found this a liitle odd. They insisted our wristbands (indicating 'free' meals and drinks ) were removed at the midday departure !

Overall the holiday was excellent . Use of a hire car is recommended, so you can see more of this beautiful island. Yes we would love to go back there again.

This has been one of the best holidays we have had.

Food was fantastic with wide range for everyone.

Rooms cleaned every other day.

Entertainment team brilliant loads of time for the whole family not just the kids.

Lovely bars and restaurants outside of complex.

Would recommend this holiday to anyone.

Having been here for the 5th time, myself and my daughters wish that you gave higher ratings because the hotel is oustanding, the pool beautiful, and the staff are absolutely the very best. The entertainers surpass theirselves in their jobs and the cleanliness and food are outstanding.

Without a doubt this is the perfect holiday for families and we can only speak the highest praise of the hotel and the staff.

This is from my children age 9 and 11 - the staff are the greatest the pool is fab, the food is fab we love to go back every year and that will not change.

We love the Mar de Menorca and all who work there.Can't wait to return next year, and the year after and the year after that. In fact would not go anywhere else.

I had to write a review after I had read the reviews from others as I nearly cancelled my honeymoon!

This hotel was beautiful. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment - it was very clean and quite spacious, it had all the utilities you would expect to find and if you wanted to you could hire kettles etc. My only problem was no air conditioning but you could hire fans from the reception.

The pool was massive - enough room for everyone and it never felt cramped. It was very clean and I suppose because of the time of year there were plently of sun beds around. The staff did contribute to this by removing the towels.

The dining room was clean and staff were always changing table cloths and cleaning but it did get very busy in the restaurant. The food was catered for the Germans but there was Spanish food as well and minimal English food but after all, I wasn't on holiday in England so I found it quite nice for a change. There was a good selection and it was always hot.

The hotel is very secluded but it was in a lovely location and the little cove 5 minutes down the road was beautiful. There were trips available which we took advantage of and had a wonderful time as well as the daily buses to other beaches. There was also a daily bus to the capital but it got rather full so we had a taxi but it was worth visiting.

The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the reception staff. They did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our honeymoon. Thank you.

There was entertainment every night exept Sunday. It was very basic but we enjoyed it (probably something to do with the free drinks!) We enjoyed the shows and even the bingo.

I would return to this hotel but either when we have kids or with other couples, it was nice for a honeymoon as I don't like flying and it was just what we were looking for, but we wouldn't go as a couple again as it was too quite for our usual holiday likes.

We arrived on 24.09.04 and after reading some of the reviews, didnt expect much but we were pleasently suprised to say the least. The hotels very clean and you dont see cups lying around everywhere as you pay 1 euro deposit for the cup so as you can imagine people take their cups everywhere with them (very clever idea!). Also you can only eat the food, snacks inc, in the restarant so there are no plates and spilt food all over the place. That can be a pain at first but its not a problem. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so hiring a car is a must even if you're like us and never hire a car. The island is gorgeous and its well worth it. Go through your rep rather than book downstairs. Son Bou beach is an absolute must! We didnt know the med could look like that and weve done all the islands. The staff were great and couldnt help you enough especially the boys at the bar. The entertainment was quite low key but the shows at night were very good especially the reps river dance. We tried to stay for another week but it worked out more expensive but we would definitly go back.

We went to Mar de Menorca as it stated by First Choice that it was suitable for those wanting a quieter holiday.

This was by no means a quiet holiday. The hotel was very clean. The pool lovely.

There was a few things that we did not like. It was very isolated. Nothing around it. No village etc. There was a bus every day to take you to a different beach every day, that's if you could get on it.

The hotel staff were very nice and friendly. The food catered for Germans. The entertainment catered for Germans. Just about everything catered for Germans. We felt particularly sorry for the English children who went up onto the stage only to sing songs, yes, you guessed it, in German?

The glasses were plastic and you had to pay a deposit of

Was disappointed to read poor reviews after booking holiday to this resort. However, once we arrived there we were impressed by the facilities. Yes the location is very remote and the public transport around the island is poor and it would be an advantage to hire a car. The food throughout our stay was excellent with a good variety and choice in both the restaurant and snack bar. The rooms were clean as was the whole complex. The pool is one of the best we have seen and was never over crowded. The entertainment was 'so so' but if anyone wants a relaxing family holiday we could recommend this resort.
