Sa Caleta Holiday Reviews

The resort is really nice, and very family orientated. Plenty of restaurants that cater to British tastes, and most are child friendly. The beach is really nice, our children really enjoyed playing on it.

Very disappointed by Blanc Hotel, Sa Caleta Playa Apparthotel, and Menorca Club (these 3 names more or less describe the same resort).

They advertise a beach 10 metres from the resort. It's true, but... it's more an abandoned/unmaintained patch of sand rather than a beach. It's only 20 metres wide (yes, just twenty metres). On either sides, there are kilometres of rough rock formations; not even shingles. The "beach" is littered with algaes that are left to rot. Except if you clean an area yourself, you will have to put your beach towel on these algaes. The water has a beautiful colour once you cross the 10 first metres, as depending on the tide, these first 10 metres are filled with dead algaes, turning the water into a dark and dense soup which makes crossing these first 10 metres very unpleasant. Out of the 20 metres of width, half of it are actually delimited by floating cones and reserved for boats. 10 metres of dirty sand does not make it a beach. It's misleading to even mention the word "beach".

I was on an all-inclusive package, and I need to mention the food...

The Blanc Palace restaurant is on the ground/lower floor. It will always serve you pork. In all shapes and form. I did not know there were so many ways to cook pork. If you do not like or want to eat pork, it will most of the time be the only meat on offer. 30% of the time you may also find chicken on offer. And 1 night per week, you will be able to also find lamb. The restaurant has a tendency to reuse the same ingredients over and over again. And they do that with deserts too. You will find the same cream served in different ways. Cakes contain so much heavy cream that they should not be called "cake" at all. Breakfasts offer English and German food, but even the worst B&B in England probably offers better-tasting food. There are also croissants and pastries at breakfast, but they taste worst than any industrial croissants found at any leading supermarket in the UK. All in all, there appear to be choice, but in fact you will eat the same thing every time. And you will not enjoy the taste, even the first time. We really felt like cows being fed in a factory.

The Sa Caleta Apparthotel on the contrary has an on-site restaurant. Go there! There is choice. The food is good. The staff is charming. It's by the pool. It's outside. It's quiet (except when the kid's disco happens there between 8 and 9 PM). If you are on all-inclusive just forget about the lower ground restaurant (except for breakfasts). If you are on half board or self catering, that restaurant is pricey. But being in a residential area, there is nothing else other than the on-site grocery store (labelled "supermarket") or the other restaurant 100 metres away.

But if you are on an all-inclusive package... stick to the one pool either by the hotel or in the centre of the apparthotel complex. I was by one pool, and I was told I had to walk 150 metres to get to the other bar by the other pool and bring my drinks here. The waitress was dead serious, and blamed it on her management. The fact they use the same computer system able to cross-charge the other bar did not cross her mind. The fact it is ridiculous to ask a guest to go to the other side of the resort to get something she could serve me right now did not bother her at all. Being refused something at the bar was not only humiliating but also made me feel unwelcome. That was my personal experience, but listening to other guests, they all had similar experiences, leaving a bad taste for everyone.

The Blanc "Palace" looks like a bunker from outside. A large German bunker. It's painted white all right, but from the outside it's terrible. The Sa Caleta Apparthotels look lovely from the outside, and together look like something traditional. The insides are boot well cleaned and very modern.

Overall, I would not recommend Blanc Palace for all its flaws. I would have recommended Sa Caleta Apparthotels, but not anymore as they are now the same company as Blanc Palace. Do not short-list either of them!

A least we had sunshine and nice temperatures during our 2-week stay. But we could have had that anywhere else in Menorca...

The resort was quiet but there was a regular bus service which took you to nearby towns which were a bit busier. There are a few places to eat nearby which were really nice. The beach was lovely and nice and private.

The area of Sa Caleta is very poor - there is a 'shopping centre' just round the corner which comprises of a restaurant (very poor food and very expensive) an Irish Bar, a Chinese Restaurant and a shop selling tourist tat. You really need to get on the bus and go into another resort to get a decent meal anywhere - however beware the port in ciutadella, lined with restaurants which look nice but are very expensive and if you go for the set menu are extremely disappointing! Over all I found Menorca to be very expensive - even allowing for the rate of the euro to £ at the moment - Greece in June a lot cheaper. Sun beds were €6 each on the beaches - I paid €6 for 2 with a brolly in Zante! Would only recommend this place to families with young children who want kids entertainment laid on so they can sit by the pool and chill out and are not particularly interested in eating Menorcan style! My second unsuccessful trip to Menorca - will not return!

Absolutely nothing to do. We like to walk around at night visit bars etc look in the shops. Sa caleta had 1 shop a couple of restuarants and bars, 2 supermarkets. The beach was as small as a sandpit and stunk. Would definately not go back as nothing to do.

Sa Caleta is quiet however Cuitadella and various other resorts are easily accessible by bus. Restaurantes are few but choice is good

Sa caleta is very quiet even for Menorca. But there are enough restaurants and bars for the week we were there. Some of the locations (Sa Nacra) where you can feed the fish and dive in the water make up for the fairly limited menus. If you like fish then you are in the right place but food prices are fairly pricey. Go to Cuitedella on the bus and have a good look around , it's busy has a great atmosphere and there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Don't be put off by the smell on the small beach at Sa caleta it is sulphur from the rocks, the beach has a blue flag and the water is crystal clear as it is on the next beach round the cove at Playa Santandria

well located for all the places you might visit there are good places to eat and drink if you want and its good value for money stay at the complex for nightly entertainment with holiday reps always on hand clean swimming pools but get out early there are not always the loungers left kiddies play area is good for the younger ones

it is only 1 hour from the airport to the resort the resort itself is small and friendly with plenty to do for families the beach is only 5 minutes away and its small and safe there are plenty of options for eating out and if you want to go to the main town of cuittadella its a bus ride away there are plenty of holiday reps to keep the kids busy and there is a variety of entertainment at nights we have been here 3 times now and will return again

good beaches are just ok but you have good swimming pool. fnjreweiofjsdojmpsorjeopjsopdfjsodfjeio ifjsdjsdfdofjsdfjsdofjsdofjsdfmdk dfsdkfmdsk

We went self catering which I’m glad about because the food didn’t look great and a few people complained. However, outside of the apartment complex there is absolutely nothing! Three restaurants and two bars I think. It’s very quiet which wasn’t for me. Also I found food and drink prices VERY expensive. Luckily the bus service is great and we mostly spent our time in cala’n bosch and other resorts. We also hired a car for one day and explored the island which is well worth doing. I found Cala’n Forcat was great for kids – lots to do.

I highly recommend Sa Nacra restaurant which you get to by coming out of the apartments, turning right and walking for 10 minutes. You are right on the water front and the food, staff and prices were great. I recommend Sa Caleta if you are looking for a very quiet holiday or are prepared to get on the bus every day. If you don’t intend to come out of the apartment complex then this is ideal. Next time I want to stay in Cala’n Forcat. We did have a fantastic holiday though and my daughter was well catered for which is what I wanted. Menorca is a beautiful island, very laid back but also very expensive!

Quiet area, if you want a busier time of things then go to one of the larger resorts. This was a perfect resrt that allowed you to you this the local bus service to get around or as we did, walk. Several shops locally, bowling alley, pool tables in every bar or outside each rest.

Although Menorca was lovely it was very expensive to eat out so therefore we spent most of our time eating at the hotel as this was very good value for money with eat as much as you like and drink (including wine) for thirteen euros!

first impression very nice was not disappointed some people moaned but u only get out of a holiday what u put in. pools great kids club fantastic and alberto is brill there's not much around resort but it does state this in brochures but the bus service is great and local town five mins away and some great places to visit ask the reps if unsure would definitely go again

worst holiday ever been on
