We had a very enjoyable holiday in Menorca sea Club, the location is spectacular as there is an amazing sea veiw & sunset.

The apartments are cleaned on a regular basis and the complex is spotless.

The staff are all very freindly especially Emma the english receptionist who points you in the right direction, from the best beaches to bars and reataurants.

She had us around the island visiting all the best places in Menorca in only 1 week.

Entertainment was poor as the entertainers had little enthusiasm.

Hire your car with reception not First choice as it is much cheaper.

The hotel was fantastic everything for a young family, swimming pools fantastic & Kids club most days!

Hotel staff very nice, they even have an English receptionist who is very helpful and she told us alot of lovely places to visit.

The Rep Tom was very pushy trying to sell his excursions, and didnt really speak much after we said we didnt want to go on any!!!!!!

The location is great over looking the sea with a stunning sunset every night!!

Just got back from a great holiday, we went for 2 weeks (which was a bit too long would go for 10 days if we did it again) - we have children aged 11, 8, and 3 who all enjoyed it.

First time in Menorca stayed in the Sea club apts.

Had a great time. great pools for the kids .Apartments were fine always clean . All staff very friendly . Food was good . Kids loved the clubs through out the days. Entertainment staff friendly and worked very hard .

Only downside was the walk to resort centre for kids about 15 mins .

I would go back again .

NEVER AGAIN!!

I've been meaning to write this for months, & now reading the other reviews I wonder if we stayed in the same place - though sadly we did.

Room & Cleanliness -
We love holidays, we're not snobs & we like a good laugh but we hated this place....we arrived in the middle of the night (I think it was about an hour & a half from the airport). We were given a room in Block B (90 something, poss 99). On opening the door I almost baulked at the musty smell that hit us. Getting inside, the room was dark & a lot narrower than the brochure pictures have depicted. I'm no Mrs Mop but I do like places to be clean but this just felt horrible & dirty. We tried to relax but over the next couple of hours we killed over 20 flies in the room.

We decided to give it a chance in the daylight & when we woke up we were pleased to see the lovely sea view, blue skies & we were directly opposite the kids club & playground. However it still stunk. I had not been able to sleep all night as the sheets had felt wet but thought it might just be that they were cold from the window having being open when we arrived.

The next night was sleep free again, the sheets really were damp & freezing. The sofas, which would have doubled up as beds if there had been more of us, stunk to high heaven and we both felt sick from it. We'd invited neighbours to see if we were imagining it but they didn't even get past the door without turning around & going back. Safe in the knowledge we weren't going mad, we complained at reception & asked to be moved. At first they tried to fob us off by sending a cleaner round with some air freshener but eventually 2 people in suits turned up, looked around, felt the sheets & beds, agreed they were damp & moved us. Hoorah!! They weren't overly happy about having to do it but they did it without fuss & all very professionally.

We were moved about 6 doors down to a similar but much better room. It was wider & brighter & didn't stink! Finally we relaxed.

Later that night another unsuspecting party with a middle of the night arrival were given the keys to the smelly room, and the next day they were moved too. And then another family arrived....& on it went.

Food -
We were S/C. There was a restaurant on site which we used & thought was nice - although my hubby was mortified to receive Heinz Spaghetti in a dish when he ordered Spag Bol. You could use this for take-aways which was handy on the one day of horrendous weather we had.

Shop -
Supermarket on site was a bit sparse so didn't really use it. There's a great one a couple of minutes walk away. Much bigger & a really nice woman runs it who is very helpful about the area, & speaks great english.

Staff & entertainment -
The hotel staff were lovely & helpful and couldn't be faulted. The First Choice staff seemed nice enough, though we didn't see much of them really once we'd escaped their clutches at the welcome meeting. Our rep never seemed to be there so we dealt directly with Reception for any queries & they were great.

The was one annoying male rep who thought he was God's gift, can't remember his name. He gave us the cold shoulder after we declined to buy all the trips at the welcome meeting, but that suited us fine. The other reps seemed fine & worked really long hours. The entertainment was a bit poor & ended quite early but this was probably a blessing for those in Block A who were practically on top of the stage.

Location & resort -
Hotel is on a clifftop. Lovely view with a quiet road between you & a sheer drop. I imagine some daredevil teens would have a field day with games of truth or dare here, so keep an eye on them.

It's about 5 mins walk until civilisation, maybe a bit less. The centre of Cala N Forcat is probably 10mins walk but it's a nice walk with shops, bars & restaurants along the way. It's very kid friendly, highchairs in every eating establishment & all the waiters make a fuss of the kids. Playgrounds & 50p rides everywhere. Everyone here has kids with them, don't go if you're a young couple without kids wanting to lie on the beach all day & hit the highspots at night cause you're in the wrong place.

Before I went someone described Cala N Forcat to me as Blackpool. If you've only ever been to Menorca then that's possibly true in comparison to the other resorts, but clearly they've never been to San Antonio, Lloret de Mar, Benidorm...or even Blackpool??

There's no particular beach here, it's tiny & really difficult to get to - especially with a pram!

Overall -
Overall, the hotel facilities were good for kids - pool, playground, kids club. The staff were nice, the resort good, the other guests fine. I can see why some people might refer to this as a Butlins in the sun, but it's in a nice way. It was mostly Northerners, Scottish, Welsh & Irish when we were there. All friendly to each other & wanting a good time with a dash of chav mixed in - perfect for us, but if that's not what you're looking for then go somewhere else.

We were there 2 weeks (you need to hire a car for at least a few days or you'll go insane) & although things got better after we moved rooms, we couldn't wait to get home. The maid's idea of cleaning was walking the mop through the centre of the room & spraying some air freshener & the musty smell was reappearing. 10 days would have been enough, I couldn't wait to get home & get a bath & wash our clothes properly.

Would we go back? -
We would go back to the resort but nowhere near these apartments again. I'm even dubious about First Choice now, if that's what they class as 4 star accommodation. We weren't the only ones who thought this, we heard many people complaining & getting moved from their rooms. We heard lots of 'you call this 4 star?' comments at reception and people saying it was dirty & they'd never go back. Maybe those people don't bother to write reviews though - maybe we're the minority, as so many other people seem happy there, so I can only say take your chances & make your own mind up.

The hotel is located on a cliff top with fantastic sea views, its about 5 mins to nearest supermarket which was also the cheapest didn't find things that expensive overall. Its a 10 - 15 min walk to town centre.

We never ate at the hotel due to reading some dubious reports about the food.

The staff were all pleasant and very helpful. The hotel reps were great my 3 year old daughter and 9 year old sister had a great time. Evening entertainment was good this included bingo, quizzes, shows and the kids disco so there was something to suit kids and adults

*Edit by Admin - review removed as posting from Spain. In order to ensure our reviews are unbiased we do not allow posts from the country where the accommodation is based.*

Blow-up pool toys were allowed to accumulate and become litter. (People should dispose of these before leaving.)

Complex layout was good. Pools were fine. Location of restaurant was bad (downstairs at the back)

Only ate in the restaurant once (which was enough - food was OK but un-impressive)

Entertainment varied from rubbish to reasonable. (It was 'good' once out of 2 weeks) The 'British-pub-games-night' should be dropped as should the karaoke night.

Place was friendly ... over 80% English, mostly family's with kids. (In fact, if you don't have kids, don't come here.) Some Irish, and Welsh also. (Be sure to bring your county colours, that's how the Irish spot each-other.)

p.s. Prices of day-to-day stuff were outrageous. e.g. packet of walkers crisps 1.60 Ice cream - 2.00
loaf of rubbish bread - over 2.00 packet of cream crackers - 2.00)

Hotel was in a good location and our apartment was facing out to sea with a lovely view.

The rooms were nice and clean and the welcome pack was excellent.

Hotel staff were helpful and friendly.

Can,t really comment on the entertainment we spent out in the resort.

The resort is excellent for familes with plenty of resturants and a good water park.

The only downside to the hotel was that the main pool seemed abit to small for the amount of holiday makers there.

Apart from that a good holiday and would use hotel again.

Our family visited the SeaClub in Cala n'forcat at the start of July.

The entertainment isn't the best but it's only when you are home that you realise it was better than you gave it praise for, but Cool Christian is a top guy and a great laugh.

The food available from the bar was fine and the bar staff were superb.

The apartments were clean and big enough for all our needs.
We met a lot of lovely people and thoroughly enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate on going back.
