MENORCA recommendations please

[nappyzoneloveschinesefood]

Am looking to book for next yr early to get any child places - ideally all inclsive as expect euro will be sky high. Will have 4 and 8 yr old and have never been to Menorca before. Where did you go and can recommend? A good nights sleep is essential as is near to a good sandy beach and cleanliness and great food and a big pool that gently slopes with lenty of room for non swimming children. See i dont ask for much. Oh finally all in same room but seperate bedrooms as i cant be doen with sleeping on sofa beds - interconnextign rooms considered. Tell me about your hols to menorca please . ALso not a resort that only has 1 bar and 1 shop. Is it safe to drive if hired a car?

My friend has just come back from Punta Prima (think thats right spelling). It has good reviews on trip advisor. First Choice and Sovereign go there. Very child friendly also AI option.

is that the hotel name as well? will have a looky.

oh i have looked at them i think - were they nice - did i read a review it was up a hill or bad sound prrofing ??? hmm - am i right to beleive the best resorts would be son bou or cala boch for a bit more choice of restaurants and bars?

ok herb i have questions for you as i like the look of that having revisited trip advisor. Is the big pool suitable for non swimmers eg does it have a shallow bit or is it just the tiny pool i can see on pics? Also for a family of 4 is there option of interconnecting rooms or twin rooms or is it all a sofa bed and bedroom job? I dont mind me and hubs on sofa bed as long as we can have kids in own room iyswim.

Any more comments welcome as im a bit picky lol.

I have a 3 and 7 yr old so was wondering about the size of the appt though probs wont be in it alot i suppose. I have just looked on trip advisor and the pics of the food make me want to be there now!

spot on herbs thanks for all that its really helpful - i suspect me and dh would also have the sofa bed but i worry he would moan he couldnt sleep the whole week lol! I am just checking flights on first choice whic appear to be 6am at the 1 hr away airport so will see if i can blag it together myself with decent times somehow

I am off to the viva menorca in august so can let you know my thoughts when I get back. The reviews are good. We fly on a wednesday at 6pm ish, booked with thompson.

geek are you going ai or sc or hb? has anyone been to the piganous/ milaneous flinstone themed one in cala boch or actually it might be son bou lol? DH has a flinstone obsesion fom his yoof

We are going ai. Usually go sc but with the exchange rate it is cheaper for us to go ai.

Cala Galdana and Santo Thomas are my favourite resorts but Galdana is abit hilly (abit more going in here though). Santo thomas is quiet but there are plenty of bars and kids discos etc and fabulous beach.

Just back from Santo Tomas, 3 bed apartment, beach v short walk away, short transfer time, very clean, fab childrens' splash pool with sloping to nothing sides, (suitable for the smallest child), small slides etc. Quiet resort, just made for families. No rowdy behaviour at all. Very well kept, a few restaurants, light evening entertainment.

highly recommend Santo Tomas, we'll be going back!

And I am Mrs Picky of Picky Town, Pickysville!

cala galdana is really nice with a beautiful beach. Stayed in a family room (for 4) in a self catering hotel, (Floremar) which was up a short hill from the resort. It was really spacious and one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. Lots of nice restaurants etc nearby.
