Rent a car to explore Menorca; local buses are limited and the beach and town require a walk.
What guests mention
Guests are especially fond of the hotel’s calm, stylish setting, spotless rooms and friendly, efficient team. The range of pools, spa circuit, poolside attention and elevated evening-drinks spot make it a strong choice for unwinding, while the buffet and live-cooking options are generally well received. Many feel the all-inclusive plan offers solid value, although some extras seem overpriced. Its quiet position is a plus for peace but makes a car useful, and a handful of visitors note minor upkeep issues or wish for more to do after dark.

Take a taxi from the airport, around 25 minutes, instead of the slower tour-operator bus.

Visit En la Balinesa beside the pool for mojitos or piña coladas.
Choose an outdoor table because the indoor buffet seating feels like a canteen.

Choose a deluxe pool room at the back of the resort for a quieter stay.
Request a junior suite overlooking the main pool for an excellent view.

Drive to Salgar for newspapers, since they are not sold in Punta Prima or Binibeca.

Avoid the external dining sections beside the designated smoking areas.
Arrive at opening time rather than early, since the restaurant opens exactly on schedule.
Specify your preferred meat doneness clearly, as it may be served rarer than requested.
About Barcelo Nura
Barceló Nura has the feel of a polished Menorcan hideaway: low-key, contemporary and made for slowing down. Its appeal lies in the choice of water spaces, from shared pools to rooms with swim-up or more secluded pool access, plus Bali beds, a spa water circuit and a bar up on the roof for a drink as the day winds down. The overall mood is chic rather than showy, with bright, modern rooms and a decidedly couples-friendly atmosphere.
Set in peaceful Biniancolla on Menorca’s quieter south-eastern side, the hotel suits romantic breaks, relaxed short stays and travellers who value pool time over a busy resort scene. Punta Prima is among the nearby places guests mention, while having a car is useful for seeing more of the island. Board options include half board and all-inclusive, with evening buffets and live cooking stations providing an easy on-site alternative to heading out.
Guests consistently appreciate how immaculate the hotel feels, along with attentive staff, thorough room servicing and the calm ambience. The pools, spa and rooftop setting are frequent highlights, and many consider the all-inclusive package worthwhile. A few guests feel extras can be expensive, and those hoping for lively nights may find the entertainment limited. Occasional small maintenance niggles also arise, but they rarely overshadow an otherwise restful stay.
