Mirador Des Concrete Works!
We decided to spend a long weekend in Minorca’s Capital, Mahon and found this hotel through Octopus Travel; we paid £454.00 for 4 night’s bed and breakfast for three adults in a triple room over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
Location: 8½/10
The Hotel is situated in a nice quiet residential area about ten minutes walk from the centre of Mahon and only 5kms from the airport. It is set on a cliff above the port which ... ...the back of the hotel or by a large set of steps from the centre of the city.
Appearance: 8½/10
Quite modern and well kept, with a large terrace area at the side. Parking: 0/10
None! Be warned if you hire a car as you will have to park some way from the hotel and the local police just love to ticket hire cars!
Lobby: 8/10
Reception and lounge are in the same area, the reception staff are extremely helpful and friendly, they can arrange car hire ...

Valentin Star
Advantages: Great Location / Food / Customer Service Disadvantages: Rectifying Issues
...nice hotel we found the Valentin Star. After we had selected the hotel we then did a massive search around the web and some of the differences were bewteen £150. We were only going for four nights and eventually we got the room for a very reasonable price (the cheapest) with Holiday Nights, which we never heard of. We took the gamble!
On arrival we made our way to the resort of Cala n Bosch and the Valentin Star and on arrival I was very surprised ... ...got it confused with another next to the beach!!! However, I was more so surprised that the hotel I was talking about used to look in a poor state of health.
It seems the hotel under went a refurbishment in 2005, and what a splendid job the difference had made. The hotel was stunning and far from that it also was at the heart of Cala n Bosch and its marina. As we made way into the reception a very chirpy receptionist took our names and checked us ...

Why I keep going back to the Sur Menorca
Advantages: Excellent place for young children. Disadvantages: Quite a way from the main village, but reflected in the price.
...a free mini-bus from the hotel that runs every 10 minutes or so. There's also a road-train that runs from Punta Prima right through to Binibeca, and while it's not cheap, it's a nice round-trip and keeps kids amused for a while - and Binibeca is lovely.
I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for families. The entertainment isn't great, but it's ok, and I prefer to get back to the room and chill out with the kids in bed!! Another reason ...

Lovely hotel
Advantages: Excellent entertainment Disadvantages: distance form restaurants and shops
I stayed at this hotel in August 2007 on a self catering basis in one of the apartments. the accommodation and resort was very clean and friendly. Our apartment was cleaned everyday and fresh towels and bed linen were given. Cooking facilities in the apartment with a fridge.
Also apartment had air conditioning.
Two outdoor swimming pools and one indoor pool. Food and drink were good although a little expensive, I would recommend going all inclusive ... ...the all inclusive option Excellent kids club and very good evening entertainment. Lots of activities going on around the complex throughout the day. There were also pool tables and ping pong tables on the complex. There was an onsite supermarket which is convenient but again a little over priced.
The only downside to this hotel was that it was quite a walk away from restaurants, shops etc but the hotel does run a free bus service up until 7.00pm ...

Review of Valentin Son Bou, Minorca

worth a vist
Advantages: lovely resort Disadvantages: none
Son Bou
We stayed at the Son Bou gardens for 2wks from 21.5.08. Transfer from the airport takes approx 25 mins. Son Bou Gardens stretches over several zones. The apartments are built into a hillside so there are small steps everywhere. Not much of a problem unless you use a wheelchair or have a pushchair but there's usually a grass slope both sides & the occasional ramp.
Reception
Is situated a few minutes walk from zone 3. The staff were friendly ... ...for your return journey to Son Bou. In Mahon turn left when you get off the bus, cross the road & head downhill for the shops. Supermarket/shops
There are several supermarkets. We found the cheapest was the one near the entrance to Andreas. There's a good selection of gift shops selling the usual tourist stuff but shop around prices vary a lot.
Beach
Is approx 10 mins walk away. It has a lovely stretch of sand & gently sloping sea & wasn't over ...
