"100% giving this 5 stars, and 100% coming back.
4 days into a weeks stay, and absolutely delighted with the apartment & location. But, full disclosure, we are self-catering and haven't used the bar or restaurant. So, can't include them in my thoughts.
We arrived on Tuesday. 2 bed apartment for a family of 5. Very clean & well kitted out for our needs. Only thing I would've liked would be plastic cups & plates as we had young children with us, so this would've been nice to have. Although I did get a couple of plastic beakers for free from the bar.
Great room with a large living area, and we were very fortunate to have a large balcony overlooking the pool. Fantastic view overlooking the sea too! Loads of towels, more than enough for our needs, and plenty of bedding too, all lovely & clean. Towels were also very soft, which was nice. Bedrooms were a good size with a king size bed, two singles and a sofa bed for our eldest. Plenty of space for a weeks clothes and kit for a family of 5, and a digital safe that was simple to reprogramme with our own pin number to keep the valuables safe. No iron in the room, but one available at reception if required.
I have seen reviews stating that there is no WiFi in the rooms, but we all had decent connections in our room and out by the pool. We did have an issue with the kettle tripping the electric, but it was immediately replaced.
The location is amazing too. Literally less then 50' from the sea. There is a footpath you can access to wander along the cliffs if you like that kind of thing. We do, so we did. 5 minute walk to half a dozen decent restaurants, and a shop less than a minute away. Tbh, I didn't find it particularly expensive considering the location and lack of competition in the local area. Had plenty of stock, and all the things you'd expect from a seaside shop catering for families. We had rented a car from Autos Menorca, so we did a food shop at the Lidl in Ciutadella, which was only a 15 minute drive.
Lots of reviews have said the the Apartments are on a steep hill away from the beach. I would contest this. Although one of the routes takes you up/down a steep hill, you are only walking up/down it for around 100yds. So, unless you have mobility issues, then this won't be a problem. I had a 5 year old with me and it was no more than a 10 minute stroll to the nearest beach. But, be aware that the beach has no facilities whatsoever, so you need to take anything you might want with you. That said, it's a lovely little beach with a slow gradient making it ideal for young children. There was also a beachside bar that appeared to be in the process of refurbishment when we were there in Apri 25. I'd imagine it would be open in time for the summer.
Just a word of caution. I saw some youngsters cliff diving into the cove, so thought I'd go there for a morning swim, having grown up around The Gower Peninsula and being a confident swimmer that used to go Tombstoning around the Mumbles in my youth, although I'm now 56. My mistake was that I went into the water alone, and not being a local was not familiar with the currents of the cove. I managed to scramble out of the water with just some cuts & bruises from the rocks. But, it was sketchy for a while. I would strongly advise against anyone who isn't a local repeating my move unless they are a very strong swimmer, and have other strong swimmers with them. I'll stick to the local beach for the rest of the week.
Its been a fantastic week so far, and as previously mentioned we will 100% be returning.
Adios. "
