Son Menut

I spend 6 absolutely lovely days at Son Menut in October. I was traveling alone and this was the perfect place to go as a solo traveler: the owners and the whole staff were so welcoming and friendly throughout the stay and the atmosphere was especially warm, so it felt like visiting friends. Rooms are simple, but there were very tidy (same as the whole hotel and surroundings) and food was delicious. To me this place was luxury because it was so relaxed, friendly, quiet and cozy. And beautiful views! I had the riding package and that was the main reason I chose Son Menut, but I feel like I got more than I expected since the hotel and staff were so great. There is dozens of horses, so good variation between the safest trail horses to more challenging (and gorgeous) stallions. I learnt new valuable things from both teachers Manu and Tomeu and they did a great job during the busy week. For trails this is not maybe the best place, since there isn't so many possibilities for trot&gallop on the way, but I enjoyed the 2 hour trail and took it as a relaxing way to see surroundings. There's also lots to see around the area: Portocolom is beautiful, plenty of beaches just 30min away, Santuari de Sant Salvador is absolutely worth the visit (amazing views). For me this was a five star holiday and I hopefully will visit Son Menut again!

Just a lovely relaxing place in the sun. This is not a fancy hotel but a homely place, with amazingly lovely staff where you can relax, unwind and get away from everything. With a restaurant/bar on site plus the pool with shade to sit in you have everything you need. Nothing is far away if you want to go out to lovely beaches within easy reach and other things to see if you want them. The staff are friendly and attentive and really helpful. As a small place there is a lovely community feeling amongst the guests with opportunities to chat but enough space to be on your own if you like. The food is extremely good with a wide range of different things for everyone and some really good local wines. They will even let you spread a bottle of wine over the week if you want to try different things. This is enough on its own to recommend it but when you add in the horses you get a really great experience, for the advanced and novice rider alike. I tried a dressage lesson on the stallions, a jumping lesson and a trail ride, all were excellent, useful and fun. The horses are well cared for and in great condition. The place is just really well run. You will know there are horses about so if that bothers you I wouldn't go but I would recommend this place for both riders and others alike, as a place to rest, recuperate and enjoy a more peaceful life. My non-rider wife had a fabulous time.

The place is really nice and quite! You can also spend a while in the pool after a day at the beach. We didn’t have the balcony but it doesn’t matter, almost all the other accommodations have it. If you don’t have an half board treatment and you want yo have dinner at the place you need to reserve it in the morning. About that, I would suggest to the structure to send a previous message to the guests on the day of the check-in if they want to have dinner there, because we were surprise we couldn’t when we arrived. Breakfast is simple but good, and the restaurant offers good quality food, especially paella. It’s a bit far from the sea and the road to get there it’s strict but the structure and the area around are amazing!
