Viva Menorca is a great hotel. We stayed in May last year. The food in the hotel is as good as any restaurant in the resort. :D

We went on 12 May and the weather was nice and sunny apart from the second day. It was warm and sunny the rest of the time.

The walk to the marina is about 10 minutes. It was a bumpy for our little one in the buggy but when we were there they were repairing the pavements so I cant see it been a problem. Its not the best lit road/pavement in the world but its busy with people most of the time walking too and from the marina.

We used the indoor pool twice and it was good to have a quiet area for the little one as the kids area was quite busy.

Hope you have a nice stay :D

just a wee update for you fizz.
ive had to cancel our holiday this friday :( cos the wee one got chickenpox last wednesday and it wont have cleared enough by friday...boo hoo.

but we have rescheduled for the 22nd, :D i booked with the viva direct on their website and booked my flights with thompsons. its the first time ive not been involved with a package operator for the whole thing. :?: it was just to let you know my appraisal of the apartment complex will be delayed a couple of weeks but it will still be with you before you go.

Hi

New to this forum. We have been to Menorca several times and are travelling there again soon .
Have read on a number of posts about the Goody Goody Park but don't know where it is. We have a three year old daughter. Is it suitable for her?

Cheers for your help

hi sharpey

goody goody park is just by the entrance to the marina, from the main road into the resort. My kids were 3 and 4 last time and loved it. you may have to supervise a little, but i`m sure your child will enjoy it!! going monday cant wait!!!

Driving is easy and its the best way to get the best out of the island - HOWEVER, note that not all roads are accessible to remote beaches, you are quite likely to drive down a narrow road only to be met by a locked gate!
Also you cannot just drive around the edge of the island, so to speak, think of it a bit like the spokes of a wheel - without the rim. A bit of research with a good map will save a lot of disappointment and frustration.
Be sure to visit the interesting town of Cuitadella on the west of the island and get a meal at one of the harbourside restaurants in Fornells on the northeast.
Good advice, thanks Grandad
