All the staff are so friendly there was Emilio, Alberto, Juan, Miguel and Nacho they were all so funny. The entertainment was so funny especially Mr and Mrs Menorca. I really enjoyed dancing la Caleta every night. There is a kids disco every night which is a load of fun.
The rooms are very nice and big. We will definitley be returning in October 2007 to see everybody again

There is non-stop entertainment by Alberto and delicious food from the lord nelson restaurant.
Our rep was called Andy but we gave him a nickname of Andy pandy all of the staff are very kind and well mannered they can also speak quite a bit of English.
This is a holiday for people wanting a quiet one as there is no clubs in the resort. There are two beaches near by which are sa caleta beach and cala santandria beach where there is clean white sands and crystal clear sea.
Overall my holiday was sensational and will definitely go back to the same apartments next year. As it was very fun for all of our family that went. Also if you get rooms 34 and 35 they are very nice and the beds are sooooo comfy. see you next year Emilio and Alberto

The pools were cleaned every morning and were very satisfactory and spacious.
Our family loved these apartments. They were not in the best area but they were enough to do and it wasn

The hotel is a typical Spanish building it is a peach colour and it is very inviting when we arrived and got off the coach our family just thought wow! We got checked in so fast it was unbelevable.
The rooms were spacious and nice and ours had a seaview and two balconies the only let down of the rooms are the very small kitchens but they had everything you needed except for a stove but all apartments have a welcoming feel to them. The bathroom was very spacious but a couple of times our bath and shower was not giving off any hot water and the bathroom door kept locking itself and would not open from the inside but except for that the beds are esceptionally comfy so there are not any faults.
Our room was cleaned every other day with new bed linen and new towels and the maids were very nice and trust worthy.
The hotel staff are the highlight of your holiday they always make you smile with their happy comments and their funny jokes I would like to make a special shout out for Alberto, Emilio and Juan as they are so friendly and remember your name throughout the whole of your stay.
There is so much entertainment going on in the hotel daytime and nighttime from archery, rifle shooting, javalot to karaoke and quiz nightsv not to mention the great shows like magic shows, flamenco, a couples game show and Mr & Mrs Menorca which Carol won.
My daughter Corinne spent her birthday at the apartments and everybody was so kind to her our rep bought her a present but also chucked her into the pool and when the evening came they played a birthday song for her and had her dance with Alberto on the stage then they bought her a cake out and a complimentary bottle of cava champagne which was very kind.
The pools in the hotel are great and are cleaned every morning and night the slide is a lot of fun for all ages even though it says it is just for adults.
The beach is a walk through the hotel gardens away and is one of the nicest beaches ever it has white sands and wave free blue waters be careful though there can be jellyfish especially after a storm.

Alberto is just the greatest entertainer ever, he was always happy and made everyone laugh! oh yeah and he has the nicest hair ever, me and my friend Sammy would always play with it and he wouldn't mind!!!
The maids would always do a good job on cleaning our apartment and even though they didn't speak muck English, were very friendly and helpful.
Food was just great!!!
Emilio was just simply the best waiter ever, he would always make us laugh and always found time to talk to us, we love you Emilio!! As I said Alberto is great! He tries to get everyone involved in all daytime activities and the evening entertainment, I especially enjoy the flamenco show and the couples night- its funny! The entertainment is very very good!
The location is sufficient as Ciutadella isn't far and neither is Mahon, the capital, in Mahon they do some really nice shops including Mango, which I love!!! I also love the boat ride as well.
So overall it is great and i love all the staff that i have ever met there including Emilio, Lucas, Miguel, Sarah, nacho, Juan, Veronica and Luca that used to be an entertainer! Miss you guys but will see you in October 07!
By the way Emma, Corinne and family we will see you there if you are going back- that's if you remember us!!!
Love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

On the good side pools are great for kids that are clean and there's no fight to get your sun loungers as the beach is only 2 mins away and people coming and going all the time.
Our beds were changed once and our towels 3 times in one week.
There's a supermarket outside complex which is reasonable, there's a playpark which is ideal for kids and safe.
The entertainment here for all ages was brilliant day and night.

The staff were excellent and really friendly especially Emilio who was fantastic with the adults and children alike (we all loved him)he is so full of life we don't know where he gets his energy from. Alberto is great aswell and all the kids loved him. We all joined in with some of the daytime and night time activities and ended up winning loads of medals between us...
The entertainment is great for the kids but they could do with having something later on for the adults as everything was finished by 11.30 pm and if you stayed up till 12 you are on your own as everyone goes home. Alberto is a really good entertainer and is fun and very fair. He and Emilio work very long hours and seem to keep the hotel going.
The apartment was good basic but we don't cook on holiday so we didn't want a big kitchen. The towels are changed often enough and the maids seem nice.
The hotel has 3 pools and a slide and this seemed enough for us as we seemed to keep to 1 pool all the time, but I think they would get very crowded in peak season.
We ate at the Lord Nelson quite a few times and the food was nice but we had to book a table or we wouldn't have got one. We read reviews saying people had to wait ages for their food but we didnt feel this was the case at all. We went with friends and their son so there was always 8 of us and we had no problems there.
The location of the hotel is not very good though as there is nothing around. Only 1 chinese a steakhouse and 3 restaurants within about a 10 minute walk, and as this was the case the food was a lot dearer than a lot of other places

We were given a rota saying when sheets and towels would be changed and the room cleaned. It was cleaned - once during the week we were there. Towels and sheets were changed - although as I was using the sofa bed I was left a pile of clean sheets to change myself.
The sun beds around the pool get "booked" very early with people leaving towels but not actually using the beds so be prepared to move towels!
We ate in the restaurant but I can't recommend it. It was very slow. Took just over an hour and a half from sitting down to the arrival of food which was luke warm and nothing special.
The hotel entertainment in the evening was in the style of Butlins - but there was plenty to watch or take part in if you wanted to. My children loved it! Noisy until midnight but no later. I doubt there are any rooms on the complet where you wouldn't hear the noise though.
There are always plenty of children hanging out in the grounds, playing football, or in the playpark so if your children want company they will like that. It can get pretty rowdy and some "games" get out of hand.
My childen went to the Bugs Bunny club which they enjoyed. It's held in a large wooden hut which is air conditioned. The First Choice kids club reps were very good but it was all a bit samey. They say it is split between ages 4-5 and 6-8 but in fact all the children do exactly the same things in the one building. Quite a difference in abilites between that age range!
