Occidental Menorca

I have just got back from staying at The Occidental and just wanted to say that it was perfect for me, my two children, Mum and Aunty. The hotel complex is spotless and has a lovely atmosphere, not being too big but not on top of each other either. Never short of sun beds, which was a nice change. The choice of pools was lovely and we would split our day between the top pools then move down to the splash pool for the little ones. The rooms were immaculately clean, modern, huge comfy bed, with new towels and a tidy up every day. My son is Dairy and Soya intolerant and my daughter is Dairy intolerant, and I have to say a big thank you to Josephina ( as well as all the staff, who were all excellent) who looked after us all week and made sure we were aware of what they could eat, organising food to be prepared especially and generally being a lovely person. I could go on and on about what a lovely place this is, but I think you get the idea! I would go back in a heartbeat 💜

Really enjoyable stay…comments as follows: Hotel = Lovely hotel, 4 pools. 2 Adults in the main hotel area and a further 2 pools a short stroll away in the family area. One of these pools contained a splash park which was great for keeping the little ones entertained. The hotel is really geared up to looking after adults looking for a nice holiday with the facilities to keep the children entertained. The Splash Park, kids club, soft play, tennis courts, bouncy castles, park, mini disco… you really couldn’t have asked for more in my opinion. Evening entertainment was varied, we were lucky to have a balcony which overlooked the area so we could watch as we ended up back in the room with our little one. It was very loud though so don’t expect an early quiet night! Restaurant = we went half board, which in hindsight was a mistake as the restaurant didn’t open until 7pm which was our daughters bedtime. We struggled to keep her awake/get her to nap well enough during the day to make the evening meal an enjoyable experience. We ended up purchasing items from the supermarket to get her through the afternoon. Had we been all inclusive, snacks were available round the pool bar which would have been ideal. The buffet restaurant was nice, sit outside it’s a more relaxed atmosphere and a nice setting. The food was above average for a buffet, plenty to choose from always something for everyone! Room = we had a standard double in block 9. This was refurbished and very well cleaned. However, after having the travel cot placed into the room it was far too small & we would definitely look into the costs of a larger room on our next stay. We didn’t see a note on our holiday confirmation about a new tax in Spain so had already paid out extra on arrival for that tax so didn’t want to spend any more on upgrading for this stay. Room was cleaned every day to a good standard & fresh towels every day. All in all, we would return. However, we would definitely pay extra for a larger room and go all inclusive. If you don’t like children this is not the place for you! Also, remember the new Spanish Tax that is applicable from 01st May 2018 – always payable direct to the hotel. Punta Prima is a small resort, a handful of restaurants on the front and a supermarket or two (The Spar on the front is the cheapest) Lovely beach..note there were no beds or parasols during our stay but did notice that sunbeds had arrived on our last day.

Booked for a long weekend fri till mon eve & we was not disappointed with any thing, we arrived 12am great check in room wasn’t ready but put our luggage in the luggage room & went to sit by the pool lovely sun beds & fab pool lovely atmosphere friendly staff & so clean was so impressed. Our room was ready at 1 as was in block 7 on top floor with great views over the pool. Our room was lovely comfy beds great walk in shower hairdryer, fridge, tv & nice balcony. I found the prices at the bar for drinks & food very good. We played a game of free bingo & won great tote bag, pen, cup, & voucher to use the spa was so impressed with the facilities. Loved the dining room & the lovely terrace which you could sit out & dine WELL the menu was fab there was nothing there that wouldn’t tempt your taste buds the quality & selection was wonderful & the breakfast was of the same quality I loved every meal time at this hotel it was calm peaceful & relaxing every time. Evening in the hotel were good with entertainment either outside or in the show lounge we had a fab time here & would be coming back as I loved it so relaxing & really charged our batteries. Friendly, welcoming, spotless, it deserves every one of its 4 **** Thank you 😊

Exelent location. The place is a but noisy, because the children are allowed to playground everywhere incl. the hall for entertainment for adults (while we watched the foodball WC). Water from the bad used to flow outside via WC...Food was very tasty.

Our stay at Occidental Menorca was full of happy memories and we would highly recommend this hotel to other families. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from breakfast to bedtime. There were so many wonderful things to join in for all ages in our family.
