Lago Resort Menorca - Villas & Bungalows del Lago

"We’ve just spent a very relaxing six night break in one of these wonderful villas. May is the start of the season in Cala’n Bosch so they were clean and in excellent order. There are four villas in total that overlook Cala’n Bosch marina, one 4 bedroom and three 3 bedroom. We were in Villa 3, a three bedroom. They are built over a row of restaurants, but as we were there for the first week of the season, they were the only restaurants not yet open so there wasn’t issue with noise, but I could see it may be a problem later through the year. The large terrace overlooking the marina is equipped with patio furniture, sofa, coffee table etc and a large dining table and chairs. There is also an electric awning over the dining area. Off the terrace are two pairs of patio doors, one into the lounge and on to the master bedroom. The lounge diner is quite large, although there is only one sofa and an easy chair. There’s also a small dining table. There is a TV, but only one English Channel, Sky News. There’s a well equipped kitchen with full size fridge freezer, oven and induction hob along with kettle, coffee machine and toaster, not a great selection of pots and pans though. Bedrooms are a decent size with plenty of storage and a free to use safe in the master bedroom. The master has a king size bed, two singles in the second and bunks in the third. There are two shower rooms/WC’s. The en-suite has a very restrictive column next to the loo! All rooms have individual remote control air condition/heater units. Patio doors lead from the kitchen area to the large, very private pool area with four sun loungers, a Balinese bed and two large parasols. The pool was clean, around 14’x8’ and from 2’6” to 4’6” deep. It’s not heated, but we were there from 2nd May and it was quite comfortable after the initial shock! There is a maid service, she called daily to see if we needed anything. There are bath and pool towels provided for six people, as there were only two of us, we didn’t need any extra or changing. There is a private gated car park behind the Villas thar are charged at €10 per day. Highly recommended."

"These bungalows are fabulous. Spotlessly clean and in a great location. Comfy beds, very powerful shower, and a spacious outside terrace with sofas and a table and chairs. I have 2 negative comments. Firstly there were only 19 sunbeds round the pool. Nowhere near enough considering there are 12 bungalows, each sleeping up to 4 people. Beds were being reserved as early as 6.30am and on one occasion there were 13 beds reserved at 7am, only leaving 6 beds for anyone else. I did mention this to reception on check out. Secondly there was no plug in the kitchen sink and for a resort so eco friendly I was surprised at this. I mentioned it to housekeeping on my first day and I saw the girl mention it to a supervisor but I left after 10 days and still no plug...therefore i was washing up with a running tap wasting huge amounts of water during my stay. Would I stay here again...not sure as the sunbed situation was horrendous."

"I really want to leave a detailed review for this lovely little resort - the family section of a primarily adults only complex with different properties dotted around the marina. We booked with Jet2. The bus dropped us immediately outside the bungalows but it really should be made clearer the reception is inside the Suites Del Lago about 50m down the road. The driver was vague with his hand signals and we had to then take all our luggage down the road. Our room wasnt ready but we were offered cold drinks while we checked in, left our luggage and told to return in 1 hr and our cases were then driven up to our bungalow. There are 12 bungalows. They are bigger than they look from the patio, with a super king room, a twin room, large bathroom, and a lounge / kitchenette. There isn’t much work surface, no oven, a small hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, and large fridge freezer. More practical glasses would have been handy as we were constantly washing up the four small tumblers provided. Lovely terrace with table chairs and comfy sofa. The aircon worked brilliantly, a small issue one day but the remote was quickly replaced and all ok again. There is a large safe in the main bedroom. Towels and pool towels are provided. The cleaners work very hard and the place is spotless. The pool area is beautiful, and nobody reserved sunbeds!! What an absolute joy to find empty beds at 11am or 2pm or 4pm etc and for this reason alone I would return. There are 9 pairs of beds with parasols. They are padded with a mattress protector which is a nice touch. On first impression the pool felt a bit small and it shelves quite steeply which may not suit young children. But overall it was just fine, so quiet and very chilled with families playing and sharing inflatables. No music or entertainment. The marina is a 1 min walk away. Just perfect. We had a hire car for 3 days and was able to use the onsite car park, just needed a gate fob from reception and a €20 deposit. Great not to be worrying about where to park. There are some fab restaurants within the Lago resort but unfortunately quite a few are adults only. We particularly wanted to eat at the Thai Garden, my kids favourite. I really do think they should review this policy, especially if you are residents of the Lago. My children would behave just fine so I think they could lower the age to 10/12? Also worth mentioning there are four 3-bed villas next to the bungalows with private pools, overlooking the marina. These looked super spacious and would love to try them on another visit. The beach is a 7/8 min walk away. It was sooo busy! We walked onto Son Xoriger which is about 15 mins and felt slightly more spaced out. There are 2 small supermarkets just across the road from the bungalows, one had a little bakery inside which was great for picking up pastries or baguettes for lunch. Overall a gem of a property in a family friendly resort that gave us the peace and quiet we wanted yet in the heart of the resort."
