What guests mention

family room family area pool bar family holiday animation team half board lovely hotel kids pool barcelo hotel beach front young children evening entertainment

Guests tend to like this hotel most as an uncomplicated family base: it is well placed for the beach and local facilities, with roomy, well-kept rooms, ample loungers, a children’s pool and activities that keep younger guests busy. Staff are often remembered as pleasant and helpful, and the evening entertainment adds to the holiday atmosphere. On the other hand, some areas and bedrooms are showing their age, and minor upkeep problems are reported. Reviews also flag uneven service, disappointing meals for some half-board guests, and extra fees that can make the stay feel less good value.

Guest guide

Your stay, step by step

Advice from guests who actually stayed at Seth Punta Prima — the single most helpful tip for each part of your trip, in the order you'll need it, from booking to your last morning.

Booking

Book a family room or larger room instead of a standard double, as the smaller rooms can feel cramped for two adults.

Transport

Use the hotel car park for €5 per day, or park free on the street.

Rooms

Ask whether a sea-view room is available, as only certain blocks offer this view.

Dining

Eat before 8pm or later in the evening to avoid the busiest dining periods and children’s noise.

Pool & Beach

Arrive by 9:30 for the best chance of getting a parasol; loungers are usually available, and the hotel does not allow reservations.

Activities

Explore Menorca beyond the resort, including Mahón and the nearby towns.

Location

Allow extra time for walking, as the supermarkets are downhill and Mahón is notably hilly.

Service

Ask reception to change your room if the allocation does not suit you; room moves may be possible, especially outside peak season.

Tips & Tricks

Use the separate paper and plastic recycling bins around the complex.

About Seth Punta Prima

Seth Punta Prima is a relaxed, family-focused stay in Menorca, with the easy rhythm of pool days, children’s activities and low-key evenings. It has the feel of a practical holiday base rather than a boutique retreat, with generous room sizes, a dedicated family zone and facilities designed to keep different ages occupied. Expect a sociable atmosphere around the pool bar, with entertainment and an animation programme adding energy after the beach.

The hotel is in Punta Prima, on Menorca’s south-east coast, close to the seafront and the resort’s everyday conveniences. The beach is within easy reach, making it a particularly handy choice for parents with younger children who want to alternate between sand, the kids’ pool and the hotel’s activity spaces without complicated plans. Half-board guests have dining on site, while the local area offers a straightforward base for exploring more of the island—though getting around Menorca can take some planning.

Guests regularly highlight the welcoming staff, clean accommodation, plentiful sun loungers and the appeal of the nearby beach. Families especially appreciate the kids’ club, evening programme and roomy family accommodation. The more measured feedback is that some rooms and areas could use refreshing, small maintenance issues can arise, and service is not always consistent. Some also feel that extras and the food offering make the overall cost harder to justify.
