I have the chance to go for holidays in this fantastic hotel since 2020 and in some cases, more than once per year. This time I have just been there for the long Pentecost week-end and can’t wait to be there again in July. The atmosphere and the people are beautiful and it is the best place where you can relax and entertain at the same time, in the wonderful location of Son Bou. The rooms are comfortable and clean, cleaning and reception staff are very nice and available for every request. The entertainment staff organizes on a daily basis different activities which make the guests enjoying even more the staying, and every evening there is a different show. You can also enjoy the bar Tropicana near the pool and the bar Salon, both with a broad offer of food and beverages with a very nice bar staff. What is absolutely not to miss is the restaurant managed by chef Giorgio. At the restaurant, breakfast, lunch and dinner are excellent and you can see chef Giorgio regularly walking around the buffet ensuring that the best quality is offered to the guests. The choice is so wide that I have been there around 7/8 times with the all inclusive formula and I can genuinely say that I did not try everything yet. They also pay close attention to intolerances and the offer of gluten-free and vegan products is very generous. Another remarkable point is the fact that the management of the hotel is always making sure that the guests are having a great time. You can meet every day the director Mr. Rivas or the vice-director Javier at the restaurant, the bars, or at the pool, they are always very kind and making you feeling like you are at home (or even better )

We have returned from another wonderful week at the Valentin Son Bou. The hotel had only just opened at the beginning of May for the season but to our surprise was 85% full and we believe it continues throughout the summer to have full occupancy. The reason for this popularity is quite clear because so many aspects concerning the hotel are superb. The staff, almost without exception, are friendly and helpful and ensure everything is maintained to the highest of standards. The tone is set by the top management of Sn Rivas, the Director and Javier Villalta, sub-director who are constantly visible and are overseeing even the smallest of matters. The hotel itself and the complete environment are kept spotlessly clean and staff throughout the hotel smile and greet everyone. Food is varied and very well presented with the food containers being continually renewed and again the maitre d’ Ramon is constantly checking that everything is in order and surprisingly the breakfast time toaster actually works! Yes, some of the rooms are somewhat dated, especially the bathrooms, but all services are there and are daily well maintained. Reception staff, especially Rosas, are helpful and our request for a specific room was met and within 5 minutes from phoning, two blankets were brought up to our room. The life guard, in our experience from many hotels, is most unusual in that he is actually alert and moves around the pool talking and checking with guests. (We have seen many hotel life guards simply sit for hours on end “playing”on their mobile phones.) The shuttle bus to Son Bou itself and the beach and return is necessary but is amazing in that it leaves on the dot every half hour throughout the day, with a 3 hour “lunch time” break. Our special thanks go to Sn Rivas, Javier Villalta, Ramon, Juanjo, Manuelo, Rosas and Martha.

“Nice place”

First visit to Menorca and wanted a relaxing holiday where I could chill out. The rooms do need up dating but are clean and sufficient for a week’s stay. The restaurant offers something for everybody and love the gluten free area in the morning but would like more of a choice in cakes and pastries. If you have children it’s a great place and went in May thinking there wouldn’t be many but there was but that’s not the hotels fault. Another downside is the daytime activities, one review made me laugh about it being like a holiday camp. I must admit they could tone down the day activities as coming round and asking you 4 times a day to participate does get very tiring. The staff are lovely at the bar and restaurant and always cleaning and provide good service.
