Before staying in Es Castell in April / May 2024 we emailed the Seth Agamenon in advance of our stay to see if we could visit to see one of their sea view rooms in person. We received a prompt reply from the hotel manager Ernestina Valentino explaining to visit them when on holiday and they would try their best which we duly did. The lady on reception (I think the ladies name was Cili) was very helpful and happily showed us two different rooms which was much appreciated. Whilst there we ordered some drinks from the friendly lady at the bar. The views across the water from the comfy seats in the lounge area were superb. Based on our experience we would definitely consider staying at this hotel in the future.

We have just returned from two glorious weeks at this lovely hotel. We had a beautiful room overlooking the start of the estuary and the Isle de Rei. The morning sunrise was just fabulous! I had read before my visit that although the walk-in showers had been completed, the rooms themselves needed a refurbish. Well the bathroom is lovely. You have shampoo, bath wash and gorgeous body milk. Beautiful shower area. Such a delight! Yes, the rooms are looking well worn, but my only criticism would be lack of drawer space. If you are staying for two weeks it can be tricky to keep your clothes ‘tidy’ all piled up in the wardrobe. The hotel is blessed with the most wonderful happy staff! Thank you to all we met who enhanced our stay with their positive attitude. Special mention has to go though to Harold at the bar. A true professional! His cocktails never disappointed ! The food in the dining room was really good when we arrived. Lots of choice and of a very good quality. Towards the end of our stay, when numbers dwindled, there was still a great display of Menorcan foods, meats and cheeses. The soup was divine, and the different breads just lovely. Salads were plentiful and varied, and the puddings were scrumptious! There was still always something tasty and different to choose every evening. The chefs were continually checking the food and replacing it when necessary. Cleo and Alexander were great hosts. There was low key entertainment twice a week. Good singers, and we particularly loved the jazz trio on the last evening. They put their own take on many popular songs and did it very well. Es Castell is full of history, and we enjoyed visiting Mahon. You can either walk for about 15 to 20 mins, or catch a bus into the station. From here you can use the buses to visit other places very easily. Or walk down into the town and take in all the sights! There is a fish market and attached to it an area which does tapas and all different kinds fishy snacks. On our last Saturday there was music and it made for a lovely atmosphere. Would we return to the Agamemon? Certainly we will! The views are a delight, always something different going on.

“Great Hotel and Fabulous Location”

My husband and I have just spent a week at the Agamenon and have had a lovely time. The hotel is located in a very quiet residential area, the nearest shop is about a 10 minute walk away. Cala Font is nearby but it is a up hill down all walk so those with mobility issues may find its remoteness a challenge. That said if you are looking for a relaxing holiday with great staff and magnificent view you will love it. There is a bus stop about 5 minutes away which only takes a few minutes to get to Mahon. We hired a car, arranged via the hotel, driving on Menorca is fine and there is car parking at the hotel itself. The views from the hotel are amazing, we were lucky to be in room 510 which had great views out to the Med and a lovely large balcony which had full sun until early afternoon. Room 511 has views of the whole harbour but the balcony space and room are slightly smaller. i cannot fault the hotel in respect of the staff, the cleanliness and the service. Breakfast was really lovely with something for everyone. Harold makes fabulous cocktails and is a pleasure serving you in the bar. Maybe one downside was the evening food, although varied and geared towards an adult audience, the main courses were a little 'meh' and generally served warm. The salads and puddings however can't be faulted (Could be that we just got a bit buffet fatigued). If I was going back to Menorca and visiting this side of the island I would go back without a second thought, nearly everyone that was there when were were on a second, third or more visit. One thing that really made it stand out was that it was my husbands birthday whilst we were away, and after a day of sightseeing we were rewarded by a gifted bottle of Cava in the room, it is this kind of touch that makes the hotel stand out.

We stayed here for a week towards the end of October. The hotel is in a mainly residential area so is very quiet. There were not a lot of guests in the hotel as it was getting to the end of the season but still plenty of staff on duty who were very well trained and polite and happy to help with queries. The room was lovely with a view over the harbour and Isla del Rei and we enjoyed watching the ferries and cruise ships coming in and out of port. Isla del Rei is definitely worth a visit - take the yellow ferry from the main harbour in Mahon. We also visited Fort Marlborough (walkable via lovely Cala Esteve) and Mahon (also walkable - takes about 45 minutes to get to the centre), Ciutadela and Punta Prima/Binebeca by bus. Es Castell is a short walk away and has lots of cafes and bars especially in Cala Fontes though a lot were closing for the season. The food in the hotel was good and always plenty of choice even when guest numbers were dwindling. There were singers on 2 nights but I felt sorry for them as there were not many in the audience to appreciate their performances (final ones of the season). Our room was lovely with a balcony and great walk in shower. The only slight disappointment was that there were only 2 English tv channels available Sky News and Sky Mix (not the advertised 4 BBC channel) but this was not the fault of the hotel but their service provider. So if you want somewhere quiet with great views and a good bus service into Mahon I would recommend this hotel.
