We just adore Princessa Playa,, Cala'n' Bosch Menorca, Stayed here more than 10 times, staff are brilliant, Carli, Heidi, reception crew,Silvina the lovely lady in charge of activities great fun,,bar crew and last but not least the Restaurant staff Tipo and Jessica exceptional nothing is too much trouble,food great , good choice for all , the Apart-Hotel is close to a small beach but a stroll along the Cami de Cavalls and you could find a little cove all to yourself, A half hour bus ride (euro 1.10) pp to Cuitadella well worth a trip,bus stops opp hotel,all in all a real treasure,we will be booking next years visit very shortly.

“Family holiday”

We choose this hotel as Jet2 sold it as a family hotel, I disagree, it’s a quiet relaxed hotel for couples or very young babies and toddlers. We were travelling with a 6 year old.

We choose this hotel as Jet2 sold it as a family hotel, I disagree, it’s a quiet relaxed hotel for couples or very young babies and toddlers. We were travelling with a 6 year old. Pre arrival I emailed the hotel to ask for a ground floor room overlooking the pool, and this is exactly what we were allocated, Check in was easy and quick, our room was adequate for 2 adults and one child, shower over the bath could be an issue for anyone with any mobility issues. I recommend you take your own shampoo etc, the ones provided have a strange grassy smell. Room cleaned each day, fresh towels if and when you need them, pool towels provided. Tea and coffee making facilities provided, also a fridge in the room. Good sized balcony. Air-con in the rooms was a godsend. Food… Breakfast has a lot of fresh choices, fruits etc. the hot choice wasn’t so good, never seen bacon as bad as this, the eggs cooked to order were good if you got the chef that seems to enjoy their job… Coffee machine always breaking down or running out, always a queue for the hot drinks. Don’t bother taking your Sunday best, we saw people come from the pool to have dinner, no real dress code. Dinner, again lots of choice, the grill area always had something cooking, lamb chops, chicken, fish etc then the area with meats in Gravy and sauces.plenty of salads and a good choice of desserts and ice cream each night. The usual….. The pool area is spotlessly clean, pools very cold, but we did travel early season. Life guard was a bit militant, no balls, no jumping in, walk! No floats! The pool bar, not a snack bar, just meals and drinks, no snacks available ie a sandwich or toasty etc. nothing for children. my advice would be to walk across the road to the bars by the beach at lunchtime. Jet2/hotel advertise entertainment, our grandson played football once, I did aquafit once, never saw the entertainment team again, the timetable always seemed to say rest day! Don’t go to this hotel and expect to be entertained or join in with any activities, there are none. There was a singer in each night in the bar, not our taste, felt like gods waiting room. The walk into Cala n Bosch was around 20 mins, the Marina area is very nice with a good choice of bars and a few supermarkets. Don’t expect to see lots of shops. The beach is lovely. All in all this is not a hotel to take a family to, it’s geared up for adults over the age of 60 or families with babies. The staff were mostly lovely, there’s always one… This hotel is a good 3*

“first family holiday - would recommend”

We stayed in May for 10nights half board 2 adults 1 baby (21months) We paid extra to have an apt, which featured small kitchen area, I would say they are a little on the small side, the sofa bed/couch had seen better days, balcony was great size and a great view overlooking pool.

We stayed in May for 10nights half board 2 adults 1 baby (21months) We paid extra to have an apt, which featured small kitchen area, I would say they are a little on the small side, the sofa bed/couch had seen better days, balcony was great size and a great view overlooking pool. The cot provided was great - just took a few sheets off and used ours from home so he wasn't too hot at night. Bathroom was great really good shower always hot water - our window was only sat on 1 hinge but this made the room clear after showering so no worries with us. We found the fridge did not close fully, so a call to reception and a guy came to chip away at the ice and that was solved. The bedroom/lounge sliding doors were really good and made no noise so when our son was asleep he wasn't disturbed. What I will say is the lock on the door, from the inside worked however having a toddler he could easily reach the door handle and open the door, please could you think about installing a chain or 2nd lock on the door? The food for breakfast and evening meal was plentiful, always lots of choice, always hot, staff did a great job and always made an effort to speak to our son and offer small fork for his meals, on checking out early yes there is a breakfast option however its basic just toast/fruit/ham/cheese no warm options such as eggs or pastries. As we travelled during out of season the evening meal time was 7pm, now this was probably a little late for us with our young son, would it not be an idea to have 2 settings an early/late we have done this on other holidays and found it works well, just a suggestion. We didn't see much of the entertainment but when we did the singers were great, and the bar was always full which is good to see. The hotel and the pool/grounds are kept very tidy and clean, the paths that run all around the hotel can be annoying when pushing the pram - can be bumpy and wake up the baby ha! A point to mention is yes they do provide pool towels, however if you require a change they charge 1 euro - not acceptable I think in 4star hotel. The pool bar was great for drinks but we found the meals a bit random and expensive and they didn't do a kids menu - again not sure if it was the time of the year. Around the pool they could do with playing some music with words, sounds silly but when water aerobics was taking place it was good, when it stopped it was back to quiet boring music, would just be a better atmosphere. We did catch the bus to citudella, nice on a cloudy day, bus is cheap and we ate at a nice bakery. The Cathedral was beautiful well worth the small fee to visit inside. Located outside the back of the hotel through the gates you will come across a small supermarket and access to a few small restaurants and beach, really nice down there good sunsets, few children's toys on the grass which is nice. A further 10min walk is the marina and cala 'n' bosch. Lots of places to eat here all reasonable in prices, we had some fab meals here, also enjoyed the little square where there was normally a singer most nights. There is a fab ice cream parlour - great choices of flavours and really cheap. We didn't rate the beach here - its full of seaweed and could do with a good rake, not sure if it was the time of the year but we only went once, 18euro for 2 beds and the umbrella, the restaurant next to the beach was lovely for lunch. We had a great time in Menorca and we defo return, the hotel is great and the pool area is really big never had any trouble getting sunbeds, the staff are lovely, our cleaner was brill and if my son was asleep she just did a quick tidy up and tried not to disturb him, she worked hard.
