Just returned from a fabulous 5 night holiday at the Barcelo Hamilton, Menorca, half board with Jet2 holidays. Greeted by polite, efficient staff. All the staff we met were so customer-focused, a pleasure. Our superior sea view room was compact but well planned & had all we needed & a very cosy superking bed with 6 pillows. Coffee/tea, hairdryer, large shower, plenty of wardrobe space, dressing gown/slippers. Our balcony had stunning views of the harbour, islands & fort & sunrises with table/chairs & drying rail. We didn’t use the courtyard pools/loungers but enjoyed the sunny roof terrace & jacuzzis (which were a bit cold at 1st but fine once you were in) we used them everyday except the last which was very windy. We enjoyed the restaurant, we like to try local specialities so the freshly grilled red scorpion fish & tender pork cheek was a favourite. Buffet had fresh salads/fruit/breads etc. I enjoyed great omelettes cooked fresh by chef each morning & my husband got his fave, Sobrasada, there is lots of choice to suit everyone, chicken, pizza, beef & nice potato/veg dishes. Deserts were okay but I preferred the ice cream, so good. The location was great for our holiday as we weren’t bothered for a beach close by in October, we were looking to chill on the roof terrace, walk into Mahon (regular buses run along main road from Ed Castell to Mahon, accept cash not card) to visit the many historical museums/sites (recommend free military museum in Es Castell square & informative guided tour of Lazerette island) we spent most evenings after/before dinner in the lovely harbour/town bars of Es Castell. The only negative would be the outdated play list heard around the hotel but the bar manager did change it & played our suggested bossa nova chill out music instead when we asked. We didn’t use the large reception bar/lounge area much, it was never busy, we heard a quiz on 1 night but otherwise just the awful 1980s play list. The harbour bars were better for us, Bob Marley, jazz music, relaxed vibe & v nice drinks, wine, cocktails & triple brandies in a warmed glass. I enjoyed walking along the harbour watching shoals of fish day & night. Everywhere was so clean & everyone we met pleasant. If we don’t return to Mahon I will look at Barcelo hotels elsewhere as the standard of this one was just so good.
