- the swimming pools! The kids one is great for younger children and the larger one is huge and perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
-kikkoland (kids play area) is a large area with so many activities for the kids to enjoy. You can choose to drop your kid off there or stay and play with them. There is a bouncy castle, a mini soft play with slides and ball pit, playground, arts and crafts, giant building bricks and a special baby area with swings and toys for younger children. This area is hugely under-advertised and such a pro for families with young children.
- las basilicas restaurant was our favourite. We.have stayed at multiple family hotels now and this is definitely the best buffet. The fresh pasta and pizza every night was delicious..
- we hired a buggy for the whole week for 15 euros
- there was an onsite doctor. He came within 5 minutes of us calling him to see both our children who needed antibiotics.
- there is a handy tunnel for access to the beach
- evening entertainment. The most popular kids disco we have seen and some fun shows such as acrobats and magic bubbles.
- I also want to add the hotel must have taken into account the reviews that stated knives were kept in low down drawers. They had installed a knife rack up high in the kitchenette so my toddler just played with the recycling bins rather than the knives.
- not too noisy. Some family hotels have loud music playing all day. This wasn't the case. There was the odd loud aqua aerobics class but it wasn't long and the music was very fun.
We would recommend it to friends.

The overall design is very nice, with a series of central pools, which are of a very generous size. There is a nice bar by the pool and the staff are helpful and polite.

The beach was the best thing about Son Bou. It was a glorious long stretch of sand with crystal clear warm waters. It might have been a bit choppy for small children some days but there were 4 lifeguards sited along the main strip (until 5pm).
We might have arrived a bit early in the season (18th to 15th May) but there were quite a few empty shops and no tourist office or signs up telling us what to do in the area or around Menorca. The beach restaurants were lovely but more expensive than the ones in the town. None of it was cheap though. The set menus were better value. Vegan choices were a bit limited but I'm used to that. We ended up having veg paella 3 days, spaghetti one day and pizza another.
If I were to go to Menorca again I would probably hire a car - the roads are simple and safe and it's possible to explore the whole island in a week. There were 5 of us so we had to have 2 taxis each time we wanted one. We used the buses to go to Ciutadella and Mahon; they were very reasonable and comfortable, more like coaches than buses.

This is my second review.
This is my second review. We reported a boiler or hot water tank problem at 1.30 am. It woke us and the noise and overheating plug worried us.
In the morning we had to insist to be offered another apartment by central reservations. I asked whether they had had similar problems previously. I was told not. I have just seen six other guests had reported "boiler" problems by searching the reviews. I wonder what I might find by searching "tank". Then one could try translations into various languages.
I do not appreciate being lied to!

Son bou is a fantastic place to stay.
Son bou is a fantastic place to stay. It has something for everyone. There is good restaurants of various food choices. The beach is easy to get to and it’s beautiful. We love the Kitcat Bar as they have entertainment a few evenings a week. They do a Quiz and in high season karaoke. All sports are played on the various TVs. It’s run by a wonderful friendly family and they make you feel very welcome. The food and drink is excellent too.

Food selection both for breakfast and dinner were great!
Food selection both for breakfast and dinner were great!
Hotel has a minibus that takes guests to the beach every half an hour (with a break during the lunch). This is great as the hotel is up the hill, the walk is not too long but can be challenging for some people.
Nearby beach is long and sandy, with options to rent umbrellas and sunbeds. It can be busy at times. Waves are often high, so swimming can be challenging.
There are a couple of restaurants near the beach, with reasonably priced decent food, in case you wish to dine out, but the hotel restaurant is much better.
There is a bus stop near the beach where you can get the bus to go to towns across the island, some direct and some with change. Buses don't go often, and there are very few of them on Sundays, so plan things ahead if you wish to venture out.
Daily boat trips on the island are often sold out, as there are only a couple of options available on the entire island, so it is recommended to book trips before arriving on the island, as the prices are fixed.
Renting a car can also be challenging, and it is recommended to check options in advance.

The beach was very long and it was easy to find space away from other people if you wanted to. It was end of season though so probably very packed in peak season. We didn’t like the restaurants in the town - we tried three different ones during our stay and the food was decidedly average and overpriced.
It’s unlikely that we would return to Son Bou apart from going to the beach possibly.

Son Bou is a beautiful area with a great beach.
Son Bou is a beautiful area with a great beach. It’s a very clean area and has beautiful weather, even at the start of October we had clear blue skies and 26°c, perfect for sunbathing and swimming in the pool. I recommend staying in Valentin hotel.
The house was perfect! We really enjoyed everything about the property. Location was great (just a few meters away from Son Bou beach), it had plenty of space for the whole family (great living room and garden with a big swimming pool with jacuzzi) and the villa was mostly quiet so we definitely enjoyed a few days to rest. Location was also handy, in the center of the island, with many locations around. Car is definitely needed tho. Not much interaction with staff was needed but they were friendly. Would definitely come back!
The sea view rooms are stunning and I was so glad I chose to pay a little extra for that! The location right on Son Bou beach is amazing, especially if you’re there for a beach holiday - you can just walk over. The staff were also very helpful and kind, for example they will tell you where the bus stop is and give you a timetable if you need. I had a particularly lovely staff member called Aurora who helped me multiple times, so thanks to her! I enjoyed the half board breakfast and found the food to be pleasant.
Location was great! The apartments had most things you needed. Would have liked a couple of wine glasses, but the restaurant loaned me one until I bought one myself.
Also a hairdryer would have been nice too, as most airlines restrict the amount of luggage, so an extra thing to bring out with me.
The staff were very helpful and so friendly especially check in and the onsite restaurant.
Son bou is well located and has great bars and restaurants all within walking distance.

Thr Villa was beautiful, very spacious, clean and had good amenities. Pool was clean, outside area was clean too. The place was also given a mid week clean which was great. Had enough crockery and pots and pans for a self catering holiday. We were also left a welcome pack with tea coffee, wine bottle and breakfast items. That was very thoughtful. Communication before arrival was very efficient and informative. Highly recommend.
very clean property, functional kitchen (no oven though, apart from microwave). Cleaning staff went out of their way to try and visit the room for cleaning at the times when we were either at the beach or when our child was not sleeping (we usually have long naps in the middle of the day). Pool is amazing and had plenty of room even though multiple families were there with their kids at the same time.
The location is perfect, Son Bou beach is a 5 min. walk from the apartment. Great communication with the office, Cristina was very helpful in all our questions. The appartment met all our needs. Kitchen utensils were clean and sufficient for 4 adults. Our visit was at the end of October, so the area was very quiet.
Breakfast buffet was amazing, we ate a couple of times in the buffet restaurant as well and they do themed evenings too. The nightly entertainment was an unexpected bonus. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was clean. Free shuttle to/from the beach but a very pleasant walk down too (15mins)
- Beach towel and umbrella freely available with deposit;
- shower facilities for the last day, during the afternoon, before taking the plane back home;
- close to the Son Bou beach
- proximity with supermarket, restaurants, etc.
- extremely clean and nice surroundings
Cap Menorca is an impressive place and location. It is next to the sea and the views from the cliffs was something I loved. The suite with a beautiful and Mediterranean design has a private garden and pool, and is in the middle of nature.... top top. We will repeat!
Great location and pool , good view from balcony main positive is the great value for what you pay, more private than a apartment for not much more money. Menorca rentals are a excellent firm to book with and been staying in their properties years.
- Friendly and helpful staff
- Excellent location to Son Bou beach (5 mins by car, 15 mins on foot)
- A couple of excellent pools
- Great family environment
- Good options for shopping, restaurants & bars
Excellent views of the hills and set in beautiful gardens. The staff were all very helpful and courteous. Facilities were great with the hotel situated in a quiet area about 20 minutes walk from the centre.
Expansive, authentic property beautifully maintained. Charming owners who really want you to have a great experience. I loved the free yoga classes!Convenient location for exploring Menorca.
The location was perfect, we had the swimming pool right in front of our apartment and the beach was on the comfortable walking distance. We did not book any boarding.
The location was great close to the beach and lots of amenities but we have stayed in son bou on a number of occasions so the location was why we chose it.
