What guests mention

snack bar entertainment team baby room salad family holiday small cove ice cream evening entertainment hired a car son bou beach plenty of sunbeds every night

Most guests come away pleased with the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, notably clean accommodation and public spaces, and staff who are generally kind and helpful. The roomy apartments, pools, on-site shop and activities for children are frequent highlights, while the nearby cove and convenient airport access add appeal. It is considered fair value by many, but expectations around dining can be mixed: buffet variety is good, yet quality does not always impress and some extras feel costly. Limited local distractions, occasional noise, maintenance niggles and sporadic service delays are the main downsides.

About Grupotel Mar de Menorca

Grupotel Mar de Menorca has the easygoing feel of a low-rise holiday village rather than a conventional hotel: terraced studios and apartments sit among broad gardens, with views that open out across the property. It is set up for unhurried family breaks, with a main pool and separate children’s pool, tennis, mini-golf, gym, kids’ club and a programme of evening entertainment. Apartments include a kitchenette, living space with sofa bed, satellite TV and a private balcony or terrace, making longer stays pleasantly straightforward.

The hotel is in Es Canutells on Menorca’s southeast coast, around 200 metres from the sheltered Cala Canutells cove and 13 km from Mahon. Its peaceful setting suits families with younger children and travellers happy to spend time on site; those hoping to explore widely will likely appreciate hiring a car. A buffet restaurant covers the day’s main meals, while the lounge and pool bars offer terrace seating, and practical extras include bike and car hire, internet access and babysitting.

Guests especially value the spotless grounds and rooms, welcoming staff and roomy, well-equipped accommodation. Families often mention the plentiful loungers, children’s facilities and lively activity team, from pool games to nightly shows. Food choice, including made-to-order stations and salads, pleases many, though others find quality uneven and dislike paying extra for some items. A few also report occasional noise, minor upkeep concerns or slow service at busier times.
