Sol Menorca

We had a wonderful stay at Gran Meliá Villa Le Blanc in Menorca. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a fantastic location directly overlooking the beach and the sea. The facilities are excellent, especially the spa area with its sauna and hammam, which was a great place to relax. The breakfast deserves a special mention—it was simply outstanding, one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve experienced. The staff were also consistently warm, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. There are, however, two points that significantly affected our experience. The first is the pricing at the lunch restaurant. We don’t mind paying premium prices at a luxury hotel, but the prices felt completely disconnected from the portions served. For example, we ordered razor clams and received only around six pieces for €40. A plate of grilled prawns consisted of just six or seven prawns and cost €70. We only discovered these prices after ordering, and it left us feeling that the restaurant was seriously overpriced. As a result, we didn’t eat there again for the rest of our stay because we were worried about being surprised by similar prices. It’s a shame, because it detracted from an otherwise excellent experience. The second point is that the room felt rather small for the price. We paid just under €1,000 per night, and at that level we expected a more spacious room. Overall, this is a lovely luxury hotel with exceptional service, excellent facilities, an incredible breakfast, and a beautiful beachfront location. If the restaurant pricing were more reasonable and the rooms offered a bit more space for the price, it would easily deserve five stars.

Very dated hotel Pitiful service

The hotel is a haven of peace and relaxation. It would be easy to spend a week here without leaving the grounds. I find it impossible to believe that there is a hotel with friendlier or more helpful staff. The concierge team was exceptional in making recommendations and securing reservations and Dario, Lucy, Eva and Elise were charming and provided outstanding service. Our first visit to Menorca but we will be back!
