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.

“EXCELLENT HOTEL A FEW IMPROVEMENTS COULD BE MADE”

Excellent quality of service from reception staff, bar staff, waiting staff, pool staff and cleaners. En suite very good appeared to have been refurbished. The corridors and bedrooms could do with a bit of a refresh. Slightly disappointed with the very few areas to sunbathe on the morning due to the original siting of the pool and terraces meaning the sun was behind the hotel for most of the areas. The hotel is located in a lovely quiet, neighbourhood. All rooms have a sea view with nice big balconies. The rooms with the pool aspect are more overlooked by apartments but still peaceful overall. If needed during the night the air conditioning was quiet enough. The hotel and pool area were very peaceful throughout our week stay due to the type of guest that this hotel attracts. Ten to 15 minute’s walk to the nearest bars / restaurants and a further 5 minutes to lots more. Bus stop to Mahon at the top of the road for a 20 minute cheap ride into the capital or only 10 minutes to the road above Mahon marina.

“a lovely hotel with stunning views over the harbour”

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.

Tried the Agamemnon as it seemed better value for money than the other two the Artiem Carlos and Hamilton both of which we’ve stayed at least twice on previous visits but are a fair bit more expensive now. The reception and check in was excellent, the staff very good and helpful, we had a room high up with the most amazing view across the bay and up to Mahon absolutely fabulous. Our room itself was ok but really needs a refurb with the wooden floor coming up and skirting boards all need replacing but the bathroom area has been done and was excellent, this didn’t affect our enjoyment as that view from our window was priceless. We didn’t eat or drink in hotel but used the very good pool area and we had a car which we parked at hotel which was handy. It’s slightly longer amble than the other two hotels to walk into Cala fonts area. Also about a 15/20 min walk into Mahon we found a path along the coast which was more pleasant than walking on the main road. We stayed for 3 days and was more than happy with this hotel. The one thing we noticed as it’s been 4 years since we been back to Es Castells is the dog fouling all over the area which is the worst we came across travelling all around this lovely island.
