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 can be reached down a long and steep road at 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!

Advantages: 335 days of sunshine. Disadvantages: Very little options re. package holiday resorts
beds and gulches with little or no vegetation. You can expect the temperature to be around 7-8 degrees hotter than at the airport.

Advantages: Still Spanish, Nice and quiet but there are pubs and clubs if you want them Disadvantages: depending what you are into, there may not much for you to do in the daytime.
In june me and my fiance took out second holiday of the year to Costa DeAlmeria in spain, this was located in south eastern Spain. We stayed in the resort of Roquetas De Mar (this translates to "little rocks of the sea)
We spant two blissfully peaceful weeks in this tranquil, beautiful and traditional Costa, which thankfully has not become accustomed to Britain yet!
It is a modern resort, but depending on what you like, you may find little to do during the day.
There is one water park called "The Mario-waterpark" it hosts all of the usual things that a water park normally does like the slides, pools and places to eat, be careful though as they do tell you off when you take photographs in the park.

If you ...
