The beach is a short walk away, can be a bit rocky but generally good for swimming, snorkelling, crabbing etc. Beware there were on occassions jelly fish in the water ( I have the scars too prove it ) first aid treatment is available from the life guards though. There are 2 beach bars, with the one at the cove being a very romantic place for an evening drink. Behind the beach is a wooded area which is decked out with tables & chairs and also a barbecue area which was very popular with the Spanish locals holiday-makers.

The restuarants were good, we ate in the cove by the beach, L'Ancora, the Chinese buffet, and Las Brasas up in the town ( 10-15 minute walk away ). My daughter liked the boucy castle place by the water park ( 2.50 eu entrance ) so we used to go there after our meals most evenings while me and her mother drank Frexinet at 2.20eu a glass.

We had one half rainy day in 2 weeks and during this time we went on the little train which takes you around Cala Blanes Cala Forcat area, whilst I enjoyed it I thought the 7eu price per person was a bit steep.

I would return to Vista Blanes.

Overall Resort Rating:

Mostly for young families and couples, not 18-35 yr olds. No clubs, mainly bars with food and entertainment. Plaza Domingo, had tribute acts, which were very good, the Temptations are sensational. Beaches are not as other spainish resorts and tend to be rocky, not a beach person, so read others comments. If like me you have walking problems this part of the island is fairly flat and even, pavements are good and places to rest if needed.

Its not too busy so its great for young families and its not full of drunk louts making a scene everywhere. P.s i'm in my late 20's not too old. As a family resort it was great, not much extreme night life if any so if you wanna go clubbing go else where...

"Ok"

Overall Resort Rating:

Average

Again, like the accomodation i was a little deflated & disappointed with my whole holiday experience. The only thing i enjoyed was the weather which was lovley & warm & gave me a rich golden tan to bring home. I aways didnt enjoy the daily trek into the centre where the shops & main restaurants were, i would have liked my accomodation to be a bit more centralised than it was. The locals were quiet friendly most of the time but i got the impression they were a bit tired of listening to all the noisy screaming children constantly running about the place. There was a nice small beach nearby but this was a bit of a trek over hills to get back to the accomodation. Overall my stay here was fairly average, there were some good points but i have to say i think the bad points outweighed the good aspects of the holiday. The only thing that would tempt me back here for a holiday would be the nice weather & even then that would be at a stretch. I feel i wasted my money on this holiday & i didnt get the relaxing break i so desperately wanted.

Boring. You need to pay for trips to explore as I am sure there must be more to Menorca.

"Perfect place for a relaxing holiday"

Overall Resort Rating:

Excellent

Open quote

Cala 'n' Blanes is a lovely resort - made better by the lovely walk along the coast into Ciutadella, this takes approx 40 minutes. Friendly people, with well kept houses and gardens. Streets free of rubbish. An excellent idea having the recycling bins dotted about. Everywhere kept very tidy. Regular, very cheap bus service, to go anywhere you first have to go into Ciutadella. I couldn't fault this holiday in any way. Menorca is a lovely island, and especially suits couples, and those with yound children. A very friendly island, will definately be back!

Cala N Blanes only really consists of a Chinese buffet restaurant that is good value ,we paid 7.95E as much as you can eat and Churchills Bar. However just a short 15 - 20 min stroll takes you to the main strip where there are numerous places to eat and drink. Nice bars on Cala N Blanes beach,Giovonni's restaurant just off main strip (just ask) excellent 3 course meals only 7 Euro's with complimentary bread and apple snapps.
