Occidental Menorca

This is a lovely spacious & clean hotel with excellent friendly efficient staff and the buffet was well run (not too many queues). Ignore any comments about them ignoring the English we did NOT find this at all. Beware the many, many birds waiting to steal any food you leave on the outside tables - so many people found their food had disappeared when they came back to their tables. My main complaint is the awful lack of soundproofing between rooms - I jumped out of my skin if someone dropped something, I was kept awake even by others' snoring! I was woken up at all hours by people talking and having drinks - all my nights' sleep were broken. This is the only reason I wouldn't return and I'm sad to say this. If you're a very heavy sleeper (or drinker ha ha) it's a great place to stay.

We recently returned from our family holiday to Menorca. Overall our stay was absolutely incredible! The highlights were the location is great to get to the local beach. The staff are so friendly, they remember your name and make you feel very welcome. The catering staff were so helpful and even when our 19 month old dropped food they were so calm and nothing was too much. Our son loved the mini disco each night and a special visit around the pool from Barcy. The children's pool is fantastic for little ones too. The food changed every evening and there was so much choice, we loved the food! I used the spa which was very nice and had a massage too. Very few negatives.... we booked an upgraded room and although the bed was large and very comfortable and the bathroom nice and modern, the room felt very small!! We also didn't have our wedding changed once whilst we were there only the bed made and they didn't turn up until the mid afternoon which was disappointing. We would have also loved to see the evening entertainment as it looked great but each night it started 9:30-10:30 which is far to late for us sadly having an under 2. The entertainment team were brilliant and made my little boy feel special. Aside from these small issues, we loved our stay at the Occidental Hotel Menorca and will definitely be returning!

Clean hotel, 20 minute drive from the airport, close to a small but excellent selection of restaurants and a beautiful beach. The entertainment team were friendly and put on activities, such as aquaerobics and dancing. The pools were big and clean, the kids pool is a lot of fun. Rooms were good overall, could have more towel hooks though. The food is amazing! So much choice and very tasty. It doesn't start until 7pm though, which was late for our baby. Most guests are French, so a lot of the information wasn't in English. Air con was switched off during our stay which made sleeping for our baby difficult at night. But overall, a great place to stay! One of the best:-)

My husband and I visited with two other couples directly a 5 day visit. We loved it. Rooms are modern abd clean. Bathroom is nice but the shower did tend to flood onto the floor. Food was outstanding. Something different every day. Help yourself to soft drinks wine beer water The pools are just lovely. So different to the normal pools you see. There is also a water park (small children ) and another quiet pool just a short walk down the hill. Entertainment was a little hit and miss but the entertainment team really did their best to made you feel at home. Beach is a 5 min walk down a small hill. The beach is beautiful. A few restaurants along the front. All in all a top class hotel. Thank you

We had a good stay at the Occidental Menorca because the animation team make are holiday happy with fun activity ,specialy the dancing class with Giada and Liky and the kids disco with Joana and Shagi. The food is very good and varied and the people at the restaurant are very kind . Thanks

I stayed here for 3 nights - 9th-12th Oct - it was my first solo holiday and I loved it! Room:- Lovely and modern, very clean on entry and cleaned each day I was there. Only thing was the shower head had broken so wouldn't sit in the slot so had to hold it over my head when I showered, this wasn't a major thing and didnt feel the need to report it as I was only there for 3 nights but maybe worth mentioning that that needs fixing (room 2009 haha) Food:- I am a fussy eater and I managed to find things I liked each night for dinner. The strawberry yoghurt at breakfast was lovely and I loved the Mexican night too. Never mega busy either so didn't feel chaotic. Obviously it's a bit daunting to eat at an all-inclusive hotel restaurant solo but I was never made to feel awkward at any point. My table never got taken. I liked being able to help myself to drinks too. Pools:- Lovely pool area, very clean, never any trouble finding a sunbed. Water very cold though is the only thing I'll say so wasn't able to go for a dip really but I didn't mind that as I enjoyed having a sunbathe anyway. Bar:- Only thing I would say is that the use of plastic cups isn't very environmentally friendly. Reusable plastic glasses or acrylic glass would be better. But other than that, efficient friendly service and didn't have any problem finding something I liked. Entertainment:- Now this is the highlight of the hotel. Having used to work in animation abroad myself and currently working in the UK in holiday park entertainment, they felt like my friends. Joan and Carmine in particular made me feel very welcome and always said hola. I speak Spanish myself and I loved conversing with them in the language. I even sang on karaoke in Spanish and they were all dancing to it which was lovely. Also as I was there alone, I had no one to take pictures for me, they were very happy to do this for me on my phone. Joan and Carmine's yoga and stretching classes were great too. Although I didn't take part in aqua gym (pool too cold haha) their enthusiasm when leading this cannot go unnoticed, particularly as it was in peak heat of the day too! Hats off to you guys! ¡muy bien trabajo! Overall, it was a great place for my first solo holiday. I would say ignore any previous bad reviews. ¡Muchas gracias, Occidental Menorca!
