Lago Resort Menorca - Villas & Bungalows del Lago

"Overall the apartment was nice. Comfortable beds. Clean. Air conditioned. Well stocked and replenished with water and toilet roll. The kitchen is poorly stocked if you want any type of self catering element- we had no breakfast bowls for example. Pool is very nice and clean - not heated, so great in Aug when it was boiling, but would be uncomfortable in a cooler month. You’re situated on top of restaurants and one side faces the marina which is beautiful. You’ll hear noise all day from the hotel across the way as they play music, but it’s not intrusive. You’ll also hear the restaurants moving all their chairs at about midnight, but again not really bothersome. Our villa (villa 4), does have a road next to it which has loading bays. Often groups of men are stood, and this could do with some screening. Restaurants, beach.supermarkets all very close. Easy getting a bus into cituadella in the evening, water park also a few minutes walk. The resort is quiet, not too much to actually do - lovely restaurants, but a lack of Spanish restaurants! Jet 2 themselves are useless, no information about check in, you get dumped near the villas, but it’s not where you check in - they need to drop you at the hotel which is the check in. Similarly no information is provided about check out beyond a pick up time."

"It was our first time to Cala n Bosch and I stayed in one of the bungalows with my 3 adult daughters. Check in was at the hotel. We received a warm friendly welcome and a glass of fizz, and a wristband for access to your accommodation and the pool area. The bungalow was really nice, clean with comfortable beds and nice shower. There was an outside patio with a sofa and a patio table. There was a communal pool for the bungalow complex, which was nice to cool down. We ate out every evening at the various restaurants around the harbour, which were all lovely, and had a wonderful breakfast at one of the Lago Resort restaurants. I would definitely return with my husband, and either stay at the Adult only hotel or one of the villas with its own pool."

"We had 2 nights at the Casas, before moving to a villa - we were in Villa 2, one of the 3 bedroomed villas. Highly recommend booking a transfer with the hotels - they have their own Eco people carriers, very comfortable, good value for airport transfers (ours between Casas and Villa was complimentary) and they will look after you, checking you in at the Suites then driving you/luggage around the corner to the villas/bungalows. These are basically a small gated community just behind the marina. You are above some of the restaurants owned by the same group. We heard nothing from these once inside the villa but obviously it's a lively marina so you will hear a buzz from your excellent, enormous terrace. That's at the back - your private pool and very nice loungers are at the front. We found the villa very comfortable and with excellent air con, which we appreciated very much as the humidity was off the scale whilst we were there. I'm used to mainland Spanish heat but this was something else and meant the 'feels' temp was + 5 on the 35-36 it was generally whilst we were there. The villa seemed very well equipped to us and suited us perfectly. There are 2 small supermarkets at the end of the cul-de-sac which had everything we needed. You could have breakfast out if you wanted - including at the hotels (not cheap to do this, though). We found the villa pool was slightly too warm after a day in the sun and preferred swimming in the Suites pool in the afternoons - bigger and felt fresher. You can use any of the pools in the hotels. We found the marina a bit busier than we're used to but it has the advantage of loads of restaurants, many pretty good. We didn't try many of the hotel-owned ones in the Gastrohub - but we liked Sensa by the beach very much. We had gelato from the place opposite the Casas every day! Our favourite of the more traditional Spanish places was Asador Onegin. It was great. The new smash burger place was also good. We went into Ciutadella one day to explore - we got a cab (c 15 - 20 euros) which the hotel ordered for us and showed us where to be dropped off/find a cab rank (no Uber in Menorca) and also gave us a map. Ciutadella is gorgeous but it was a little too hot and humid for comfortable wandering, to be honest. You're a short walk from a nice but busy beach, which is just opposite the Casas. We had a few technical hitches when we were there - we lost water supply pretty much every day. Only for 20-40 mins but a bit inconvenient. Maintenance were on it quickly but hadn't figured it out by the time we left - though we were told on check out that they thought they knew what the problem was. I'm sure they will sort it out. We also had intermittent WiFi which, as we were with our teenage son, meant buying extra data! But these weren't big deals for us - maybe for some. Overall I recommend the villas - it's great having a full service arrangement (daily cleaning, if you want) and all the facilities of 5 star hotels on your doorstep but the privacy and independence of a villa."
