Occidental Menorca

Clean accommodation, friendly staff, good location for beach. Food buffet style with plenty of choice- over the week there was quite a bit of choice but with a lot of repeats for salads and deserts. Staff in restaurant quick to clear plates but this said there is plenty of cutlery and crockery to use when getting next dish. Gym on site which was clean and well stocked with equipment. Wife was disappointed with the spa but it wasn’t expensive at 20euro for a hour. The resort only had three small supermarkets, approximately three restaurants so not a busy resort. Would I come again ? Yes

Just got back from a great 5 day break at the Occidental Menorca and I would recommend this hotel for those looking for a nice spot for families or a friends break. The resort is nice with colourful buildings and a courtyard style. We were in building four at the rear of the hotel overlooking a quiet side road with a field/distant sea view to the right. Apart from the occasional bus passing we were uninterrupted and with the balcony door closed, it was very quiet. I stayed in a double room with a friend and this was clean, of adequate size and the bed was comfortable. The cleaners come round every day and do a great job to freshen up the room. The pools in the main part of the resort are very nice and are relatively shallow which is good for kids. There are 2 infinity style pools which are nice as well as a small kids pool. If you head down the reception steps and across a path outside, scan your room key and this takes you over to the other half of the resort with another pool and tennis/volleyball courts. The food was very nice, it was varied for the first few days but then became a little repetitive but can’t complain about the quality. Waiters were friendly. The entertainment was great, funny and impressive shows e.g. magic and Disney character acts and the mini disco was great for kids. This is a very family geared hotel so not the most ideal for a quiet couples break as lots of small children but didn’t bother us. Hotel is near a nice sandy beach (although sea is full of thick black seaweed covering the floor) and a few shops and restaurants, bus stop outside reception can take you to Mahon for under 2 euros which is a very nice area to visit- harbour boat trips, nice shops and restaurants. Overall would recommend this hotel to families or friends, we had a lovely stay here ps. Visit the spa if you can, a little expensive but lovely!

My daughter and I are just home from a week here. What a great place to have chosen for it. A warm and friendly welcome by Vanessa at check in was a great start. We stayed in a family room which was very clean and well equipped. Not the biggest room but was well laid out and provided all we needed. Hotel was quieter as coming to the end of season so there was plenty access to loungers by the pool. All the outside facilities and bar were clean and well sourced. My daughter’s high point of the holiday was getting involved with the Animation team and activities. Special mentions to Guacamole, Cappuccino and Bon Bon for the fun games and chat over the week. The shows put on by the whole animation team in the evening were fantastic and well practiced. Good was of a good standard and reasonable choice for an All inclusive package and again was clean and organised. Can’t comment on how the hotel would be in peak season but for us for an October get away it was perfect and just what we needed. Close transfer to the airport and a short walk to a beautiful beach all added to the experience. Well done Team Occidental.

Fantastic hotel with incredible staff. Great food with so much choice. Pool areas are brilliant with plenty of space and options for sun beds. Beautiful garden areas with wildlife in abundance (hoopoes in particular). Perfect location in a great resort and only 20 mins and €22 in a taxi from the airport.

Just sit back and enjoy this hotel the food is good large selection the restaurant is very clean but most of all the staff are very friendly

Holiday was very nice. Location was close to the beach, pools were very relaxing and food was good. Only issues were the mosquitos, but that is not the hotels fault. All the entertainment staff were great. Want to say a big thank you to Guacamole (Michael) as he made the days very enjoyable and energetic and was a great guy. I hope to see him back next time. - Big brother In total the hotel was worth it for a relaxing holiday.
