We first visited in May 1998 and have been 12 times since. Not been for 2 years but going back again in August this complex is ideal for families. Very clean and very helpful staff.

The food and drink in the bar is good quality and reasonably priced and has very friendly staff especially Tobal. There is a good variety of entertainment for all ages. The pool is spotless and cleaned every day by Toyo. Can

Our apartment on arrival was situated overlooking the swimming pool on the ground floor with a lovely patio area and grass verge. All apts are no more than 1st floor. The rooms were all spacious enough and the kitchen area although on the small size was fine and the Cooker/Oven worked without any problems all. Be careful of the hot water from the Kitchen & Bathroom taps as it can get extremely hot within seconds. No air conditioning in the rooms but this wasn't a problem as the rooms were always at a cool temperature and no portable fans were needed for purchase. We found the apts to be very clean and were cleaned about twice a week.

We went self catering but ate at the Restaurant on more than one occasion and all was very nice. The only small complaint was that the Restaurant was closed between 3 pm and 6 pm (bar always open) but plenty of other bars, cafes, restaurants close by should the need arise.

The apts were situated in a great location and there is a Burger King opposite plus 2 Supermarkets within a 2 min walk. Bars and restaurants all close by plus many more on the street behind. All the bar staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

There is a Kids club run every day from 11 am till 3 pm by Jasmin who was really good with the kids and varied the activities. Making and the drawing things inside the onsite kids club room as well as a treasure hunt. She even organised a small birthday party for a boy who was 9 years old and all the kids and parents joined in.

Entertainment at night was also run by Jasmin and there is a mini disco at 8 pm every night followed by light hearted quizzes and Bingo. Some type of show is on after these 3 times a week. One night was 'Mr Vista Picas' which was a great laugh (glad I didn't volunteer for that !) as well as a Disney show with Dancers. There is a kids games room with all the usual things in to keep them amused and there is a play area with slides and swings on grass. The are 2 computers in the bar that have Internet access.

We would definitely visit these Apartments again and recommend them for couples and families. As soon as our holiday had finished we decided to book again for next year but for 2 weeks instead of 1.

Firstly, I decided to book these apartments after reading all the many comments written about it. What can I say, it certainly lived up to its reputation. It was fab.

On arrival we were given an apartment at the front of the complex (near to the bars), we were abit worried about the noise but needn't have been as it was fairly quiet, settling down by about midnight. This may be different though in high season so I recommend asking for a apartment at the back of the complex if noise bothers you.

The complex itself was exceptionally clean, the pool area very spacious with loads of sunbeds and umbrella's.
The apartment itself was fairly spacious but if you're anything like us then you don't spend much time in it.

The kitchen area is quite small but we only used the fridge and the sink (mind the water, its very hot). We had a little trouble with ants but this was quickly sorted out by reception who are excellent in everyway.

The restaurant/bar staff are excellent and the few meals we had there were very good especially the barbeque on a Friday night.

The entertainment is run by Jasmin, who is very hard working and great with the children. They have a kids club 11 till 3 where they can paint, play pass the parcel, dance and generally have a good time. Parents remain responsible for their children at all times.

The night time entertainment consists of a mini disco for the children, bingo, quiz's and acts about 3 times a week. The Bee Gees tribute band and Lord of the dance were particularly good and the Magician was excellent, the kids loved him.

I would say the hotel is located centrally within the resort and there are many nice restaurants and bars to choose from, most with bouncy castles, swings, slides and playhouses to keep the children happy.

We hired a car for three days and travelled around the Island, definately recommended. We also visited the water park which is about 5 minutes walk away. Quite pricey at 16 euros for adults and 9 for children (plus extra for sunbeds and umbrellas), but we spent the day there and definately got our moneys worth.

My two are five and one and had a fantastic time, so much so that the five year old is hounding us to book again for next year, which we definately will.

Next time though we'll book for 2 weeks instead of one.

We had the most wonderful holiday in May at the Vista Picas Apartments. I am rather fussy about cleanliness in accomodation on holiday but these apartments were fabulous. Particularly spacious - especially the bedroom with 2 double wardrobes and adequate drawer space. They even had enough coat hangers, which is a first in my experience. Pool area again very clean and we never struggled to get a sunbed. Jasmine is there between 11am - 3pm to entertain the young ones with things such as painting, art, games and making things. The bar serves really nice food and in the evening there is always an entertainment programme. All hotel staff very helpful. Location of Vista Picas apartments is ideal being literally a 2 minute wald from all main attractions.

Apartments were nice, clean and spacious enough for a family of 4. There was no hairdryer but did have an iron and ironing board. Kitchen was well equipped, including a corkscrew! I would have preferred a full oven instead of mini oven provided, I thought this was dangerous for small children.

Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

Just arrived back from the Vista Picas after a 2 week stay.

We really could not find any faults at all.

The apartments were compact but very clean.

The pool area and pools were cleaned daily and the overall appearance was very pleasant.

We never really ate at the Vista Picas apart from the odd snack, but what we did have was very nice and not over priced.

The location is perfect. There is a supermarket across the road and the main centre for shops, bars and retaurants is virtually a 2 minute walk.
There are loads of places to eat which we found were all very friendly and very well priced.

All the hotel staff were very friendly and polite.
I noticed that our fridge was not working on the first day and after telling reception about this, it was fixed within the hour.

There was no official kids club this year but Caroline kept all the kids entertained during the day. There was entertainment at night but as we went out we could not really comment on this, although something seemed to be happening every night.

We will definitely be going back to the Vista Picas.

We had a very nice relaxing holiday, we were always able to get a sunbed and everyone was so friendly.

What can I say apart from get me back there A.S.A.P. The place is spotless, it is not just the very friendly & hard working staff it is the guests as well.

It was our 1st time but other guests go year after year & so treat the place with respect, not like some of the chav filled places I have stayed. My two daughters (15 &17) made some good friends.

The apartment are in a good spot just a short stroll from the resort centre. What can I say just go & see for your self (or better still don't go then it won't get booked up for us next year)

We had a great holiday. Very clean hotel, yummy food, great location, friendly staff and hilarious entertainment(and not always because it was supposed to be, but it entertained nether the less!!!).

Caroline the entertainer is great and gets all the kids involved in the "mini disco" and games at the beginning of the evening which makes them feel included.

We would certainly visit this hotel again if visiting Menorca.

We are regular visitors to Vista Picas, and love it!! We were a little disappointed with entertainment this year as there was not much going on!!

Caroline was a lovely girl, but we have been spoilt by Emma who is a natural entertainer and gave us two years of fun & games, She should go back to Vista Picas, leave the reception job!!

Was lovely to see Chris & the boys again.
