Valentin Son Bou

"This is a lovely hotel with many positives. The communal areas, including reception, the restaurant and bars, pool etc are great - modern, well designed, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The food was good and we particularly enjoyed 'Spanish Night'. We were not all-inclusive but found food and drinks to be very reasonably priced. The location of the hotel is great, away from the hustle and bustle so very quiet and peaceful, but with a fantastic bus service down into Son Bou and its wonderful beach, with the buses running like clockwork. Very importantly, the staff were, without exception, delightful - warm, friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. All the above would deserve 5 stars, but we were disappointed with the bedroom we were allocated. It was not one of the modernised ones, and it was really quite basic and dated - a sharp contrast to the rest of the hotel. Think 1980s vibes. To be fair, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was good and it was all spotlessly clean, but there were absolutely no little 'extras' - and no kettle with tea or coffee! We were given a kettle when we asked for one but had to provide our own teabags. This was disappointing. So 3 stars for the bedroom, leaving a compromise of 4 overall. If you're not too worried about your bedroom (or happy to pay quite a lot more for a modernised one) and more interested in the rest of the amenities and facilities. then we would definitely recommend this lovely place."

"Very pretty hotel, very well maintained in Menorca on a small hill still preserved from mass tourism, beautiful Son Bou beach, and all the small beaches to discover on the island are of exceptional beauty, excellent and varied buffets, several bars with brand-name and quality drinks, all the staff without exception are very kind and especially (Robert, Diego, Marcos, Ernaldo, Varol, Ana, Yassima, Anna Maria, not forgetting the chef Stéphane, our room very clean every day, the cleaning was done by Katherine, very good entertainment and shows, after so many lovely memories we will return with great pleasure. Sincerely, Bruno and Catherine."

"Hotel Valentin Son Bou is honestly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, everything was fantastic. My room was lovely, as were the apartments my friends stayed in. The hotel facilities were absolutely spotless, and the food was very good. However, the pool bar deserves a special mention — the food there was some of the best pool bar food I’ve ever had! Evening entertainment again was varied and polished. What really stood out for myself and our group were the staff. They were absolutely wonderful, friendly and attentive. You could genuinely tell that they are well looked after and appreciated by the hotel, and that really showed in the way they looked after the guests. The only slight downside is that the hotel is at the top of a winding road, but this really wasn’t a problem as the hotel runs a minibus every half an hour to the beach and shops, which makes getting around very easy. May be difficult for someone liking to go out with mobility issues. Not a fault of the hotel though. The transfer time from the airport was also fantastic — only around 20 minutes, which is a huge bonus. We loved the hotel so much that I actually made a point of finding the hotel manager personally so I could compliment him and tell him just how wonderful his staff were. I think that says everything! We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend Hotel Valentin Son Bou. We’ll definitely be back!"
