What guests mention
Families tend to rate this hotel highly for its water-play facilities, pools, children’s club and upbeat entertainment, with the welcoming staff often making the strongest impression. The coastal position is attractive and the beach nearby is a highlight, although the hilly layout and steps can be inconvenient for some. Guests generally find the property clean and appreciate the spacious accommodation, but opinions on room condition vary: some report dated interiors, unreliable air conditioning and bathroom upkeep that needs more attention. Drinks service and food arrangements receive mixed comments, and a number of visitors feel the added costs make the stay less competitive in value.
Your stay, step by step
Advice from guests who actually stayed at FERGUS Club Carema Splash — the single most helpful tip for each part of your trip, in the order you'll need it, from booking to your last morning.

Eat when the restaurant opens and avoid Red times to reduce queues and chaotic service.
Arrive early for shade, umbrellas, and intact loungers; availability may still be good around 9:45.
Visit Fornells Port, which is reachable by a brisk 30-minute walk or a 45-minute stroll.
Allow extra time for walking between the main building and rooms, as the resort is spread across a steep hillside.

About FERGUS Club Carema Splash
FERGUS Club Carema Splash is geared firmly towards easy-going family breaks, with a lively, sociable feel centred on swimming, play and plenty to keep younger guests busy. The water-play area is the headline attraction, while the central pool, children’s activities, games space and evening programme give days a cheerful, resort-style rhythm. It is a mid-range stay that prioritises fun and room to spread out over polished luxury.
Set on Menorca’s north coast in Playas de Fornells, the hotel enjoys a handsome seaside setting and suits families who are happy to spend much of their holiday on site. The beach is a real draw, though the surrounding terrain is uneven and there are steps in places, so it is worth packing practical footwear as well as pool shoes. With dining, drinks and entertainment close at hand, it works particularly well for parents seeking a low-fuss base rather than a town-centre escape.
Guests regularly single out the friendly team, especially the bar staff and activity crew, and many families leave feeling they have had a genuinely enjoyable break. The pools and children’s facilities earn warm feedback, as does the general cleanliness. Rooms are often considered generously sized, although some guests find the decor tired or report inconsistent maintenance, particularly in bathrooms and air conditioning. A few also feel that extras and overall value could be clearer for the standard offered.
