The Playa Santandria Hotel is a medium sized, recently renovated, three-star hotel that feels like…read morea five star hotel. It's not by any means a luxury resort, but the service provided by the hotel personnel is top notch. Clean rooms, a varied breakfast buffet, a decent pool area and the nicest beach of the Menorcan west coast is right outside the hotel door. The beach actually draws quite a few locals as well, but it still doesn't get too crowded. The restaurant on the ground floor with its patio towards the beach is open to everyone and offers remarkably good meals at sensible prices. Everything from sandwiches to main dishes and drinks is masterfully crafted, and the relaxed atmosphere makes your stay even more enjoyable. After trying out a handful of restaurants from Cala en Bosc to Ciutadella, we still ended up at the hotel restaurant most of the evenings - it simply stood out as the best of the bunch. The dedicated staff of the hotel work from early morning to early night to make your stay memorable and delightful, and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! P.S. Photos from Google Street View are VERY outdated. The entire hotel has been renovated inside out!

UNBELIEVABLE. DREAMLIKE…read more Honey, let me tell you. This this place is heaven. Never have I seen a room so large. We had a foyer. Our own staircase. The bathroom was bigger than other entire hotel rooms. After heading up the marble stairs leading to our secluded, huge, charming room, I was continually blown away by the details and integrity of this amazing hotel. That bed? What dreams are made of. So cozy, so soft. The bedroom area had so much space, we each had what seemed like our own wing to organize our suitcases. The bathroom was literally on the other side of our entryway, through two sets of gorgeous wooden doors! A large standalone modern bathtub that fit not only myself, but also my 6'2 boyfriend. From the rain shower with the orange blossom scented bath bubbles, to the his and her slippers and hair dryer tucked inside the round hat box, I could have spent hours in the bathroom alone. But why would you? This hotel has an entire spa, IN A CAVE, in the basement. The grand prize is the salt water pool that extends into two rooms in which you can swim between. It's dotted with several shower like massage tools with different hot/cool water temperatures for the ultimate hydrotherapy experience. Beyond the way, several heated thermal spas, all different levels of heat, infrared saunas and showers. It's insane. Pictures don't do it justice. I would have spent over $100 to swim in this pool one morning, but of course, the price was included with our room. In the morning, complimentary brunch in the lush garden patio. So lush and floral. Your choice or take them all: jamon iberico and mahon queso with quince jam, homemade breads and cakes, gluten free granola, fresh squeezed orange juice and berries and soft scramble eggs with lox and capers, nothing was forgotten. I promise to return to this beautiful island one day and you can bet I'll be spending a week at this beautiful hotel.

Slightly pricey (we managed to get the deluxe room for 165€/night last week of September) but…read moredefinitely a good place. Agree with what is said about pool/hammam : sweet. Ideas to improve the experience : add more original beers in the mini bar (to avoid the never-ending Estrella). What about craft beers? Also, more fruits for breakfast please

Absolutely loved this hotel! My wife and I were here on our honeymoon, and this was the second leg…read moreof our trip. We showed up after a long car ride to find a beautiful hotel awaiting us! Finding the hotel was somewhat difficult (be sure to call and get good directions the night before), but once there, it was glorious. Our room was huge and very modern with an incredibly comfortable bed. Loved the breakfast every morning that was complimentary, with delicious meats, cheeses, and fish. The pool was also beautiful and a big surprise. We seemed to be the only 2 people using it. The area is very lively and it was somewhat loud when sleeping at night, but truly this was an incredible hotel experience. And the price absolutely cannot be beat.

After we had decided on Menorca, we wanted to stay where the best beaches are. It came down to…read moreCala'n Porter and Cala Galdana. Sa Barrera was very highly rated on Trip Advisor, so we decided to give it a shot. It's a wonderful boutique hotel in the sleepy village of Cala'n Porter, an easy 20 minute drive from the airport. The overall vibe was super mellow and peaceful. Perfect for couples (like us) looking to decompress from the big city. The room was a bit small, but very clean with a small balcony for two. I don't believe that there was an elevator. We seriously may have had the best room, in the top left in the photos on their website. Excellent view of the sea, but not the actual beach. The breakfast buffet was very, very nice. We sat out by the pool. Definitely loved the tortilla espanola. They will also make espresso-based coffee drinks to order, Americano in my case. Trip to the beach was either a long walk around the "front" entrance or about 150+ steps down from the hotel. We stayed for two nights. My only nitpick is the parking. There are only about six spaces on the side street where the main entrance is. If you get a spot, keep it. Street parking wasn't too bad even in peak season. Best restaurant close by was Lorengo.
