Occidental Menorca

We stayed 9th-16th June. Started our holiday on the Dreamliner with Tui flight was more or less on time. We arrived at the hotel via taxi transfer with TUI. After a hiccup at check in (double booking our room & giving us someone else’s) this was sorted out in the end. There was confusion as she had us down for half board but we had booked All inclusive. Travelling as a young couple without children. I work in a nursery and even I was assounded by the amount of children at the hotel. It was evident that the alpi club did so much to keep the children and adults entertained. They were all so well behaved and didn’t Spoil our holiday. So if you don’t like kids or noise you best steer clear. This was not a quiet peaceful holiday. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends who have families. The bar staff were amazing tending to all your needs. They were very efficient and the drinks on the All inclusive menu were plentiful. Sangria, Pomada and All inclusive cocktails were on the top of our list. At the snack bar you will find chicken nuggets, sandwiches, chips, onion rings, salad available throughout the day as well as ice cream. All were of a high standard and replenished on a regular basis. The odd occasion they were a little cold but this was understandable. The food in the main buffet was lovely. Sometimes a little repetitive but what else do you expect at an All inclusive Buffett. You can see what’s available each night from a lcd screen flicking through the electronic menu. Which I found really informative. The hotel put on cuisine nights. We had Italian and Mexican night which were our favourites. Who doesn’t like pizza and nachos? All food was enjoyable and there was always something to eat. Whilst in the restaurant the the staff were quick to bring you a drink, it appeared that whilst in there you were only able to order one drink. They were so busy clearing tables and setting up that you could understand. A few of the staff appeared very stressed and somewhat abrupt sometimes. The room was small with just enough room to walk around the bed. But it’s a hotel room again what more do you need. The bathroom is walled off with a glass screen so if your travelling as friends or a couple who don’t know each other very well then you may just have to send the other person on the balcony as it leaves nothing to the imagination. The beds were comfortable enough. They were memory foam. The air conditioning is free and is very good. There is enough storage for 2 people and a small fridge to store water. Punta Prima is a little town with a few restaurants and small supermarkets. There is a few parks for children in the area and rides for small children on the beach front. The beach was beautiful white sand and very shallow water. Just watch out for the jelly fish. If you like a walk there is a few places you could walk to we walked to Binibèquer it took us around an hour stroll. The beach is beautiful about 40 minutes for the hotel. Then if you carry on another 20 minutes you will find the old village. Very quaint with painted White Houses (very Greek). We also walked in the other direction towards st Luis along a coastal path beautiful views along the way and a little harbour and small cove. Thank you Occidental Menorca for having us. Weve had a lovely week.

Stayed here in early June and the weather was mixed but still warm. The hotel is on a big site and very close to a small but lovely beach. The water is so clear and it is waist high for about 50m out so great for kids. Punta Prima is quiet but very family orientated. A few shops, supermarkets and restaurants is all really but that was fine with us as we were all inclusive. The capital Mahon is 20 mins away on a bus and is only a couple of euros. Bus stop is outside the hotel. The port is great and worth a day out. Hotel is very new looking, standards are high and our family room was big and what you would expect from a high end British hotel. Beds were comfy. There are 2 main pools which are a good size. All the pools are salt water but it was nice and kids never noticed. There is a brilliant kids splash park which has a big paddling pool with slides as well as a 3rd smaller pool. There are play parks on site and a public one next to it. There are always plenty of sun beds. The food is buffet style and was high quality with plenty of choice. The desserts in particular were fantastic. The all inclusive drinks were good, the beer and gin were really nice, soft drinks for the kids, slushies, ice creams, bottled water. Burgers, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, chips, cheese and ham toasties, sandwiches throughout the day kept the kids happy. Nearby supermarkets if you want anything else but we didn’t need anything. The staff were very good and we had a great stay. I would go back again

Enjoy the week out there at the hotel - reasonably close to the airport and then is reasonably well serviced. friendly staff in the restaurants. Would recommend family holidays there especially if you have little kids - we’ll looked after

We stays from 8th to 15th June, the hotel was fantastic, the staff all very helpful and pleasant at all times. The food exceptional and one of the highlights of the holiday was the entertainment, the best we have ever seen, we have been to dozens of hotels over the years and never seen such fantastic entertainment. We will be going back and recommend this hotel 10 out of 10 The area was also very good, lovely beach easy to walk to 10 minutes at the most Hotel fantastic please try it out you will not be dissapointed

would stay here again but in a room with a better location perhaps a sea or garden view and more light. The staff are a credit to the hotel, could'nt do enough for you! Food is very good varied and plentiful. We liked the outside seating very continental. If its entertainment you want then the group of young ,I think French activity staff are wonderful, tireless and creative, never a dull moment.. Had some good artists on in the evenings too.
