Excellent Accommodation, Perfect Location
Review Submitted: July 7, 2008

As our first visit to Menorca, my wife and I plus our two children (4 and nearly two) needed to find good, clean & overall family-friendly accommodation, within a short ride from the airport. Jo and Greg provided us with all of the information that we needed to know prior to travelling, ad really made a difference with their personal touch during email and phone communications.
The transfer of 20 minutes was easy, the Reception Staff spoke excellent english and we were at our apartment within five minutes; the taxi driver dropped us off within 20 yards of the property. As we'd already received instructions on what the property had to offer, operating anything from the music system, DVD or the hot water and gas appliances was a breeze.
The apartment was clean and spacious, while offering the added bonus of overlooking the complex from the first floor level; the main gate and balstrade of the front patio had been modified to keep smaller children out of harms' way using additional locks and fencing. The bedrooms were more than adequate for our needs, with a good-sized fridge freezer, gas cooker and other amenities provided to allow you to use the apartment to its full potential. The DVD player and portable TV were an added bonus to help keep young minds happy when all other avenues failed.
The complex offered three good swimming pools, bars/restaurant, supermarket, bakery, nightly entertainment; all within a 5-minute walk.
The resort of Son Bou had enough to offer our young family with plenty of bars & restaurants to stave off hunger pangs - local seafood and fresh pizzas were always going to work for us, all provided at reasonable prices. The beach was only a 15-minute walk away and featured heavily in our routine, as the sea was warm and shallow for many metres out from the shore + the sand was so fine that building castles, etc was a real pleasure. A trip to the capital, Mahon, was the only day off that we had from the beach where the market was useful for browsing bargain jewellery and paitings.
Overall, we would highly recommend this apartment to couples and families alike as the accommodation and the owners made us feel very welcome, from the start of our holiday to the inevitable flight home.
