Sa Caleta Hotel Reviews

The beach is literally next to the hotel, down some steps and across an old stream (not running with water - but dried up). The beach was small but plenty big enough, it didn't get busy down there anyway and the sand was nice, there was a bit of seaweed, and one day we had jellyfish - don't swim - but overall the beach was clear and lovely and very shallow for the kids.

The resort was very small but too small for us really so we got the bus to Cala an Bosch regulary and into Cituadella. There are 4 restaurants at Sa Caleta and all very nice but if you want a bit of variety try Cala an Bosch. The buses ran frequently and were really friendly and cheap, better than getting a car.

We did find Menorca to be a bit expensive, and could have easily spent loads of money, but we were careful, and still had a wonderful holiday.

We would definetly recommend Sa Caleta Playa Apartments if you want a quiet holiday base, but personnly would have preferred to be in a larger resort.

Sa Caleta is very nice.- Quiet, safe and clean. No chavs.

Probably too quiet for a lot of people though, but fine if you do your research and know that before you go.

Beach - is a cove like a lot of the beaches in Menorca and is at the end of the Sa Caleta Playa apts. Clean and shallow. Didnt spot jelly fish, but little fish swim round you feet!

Shops - 1 small supermarket on Sa Caleta playa apts has jars of baby food and nappies and beer. Another bigger one at the other end of the resort opposite the prinsotel (i think). There is a a fairly big gift shop. Massive Diskont superstore 20 mins walk away. Sells baby milk powder.

Restaurants / bars- Commercial centre has 2 bars and 3 restaurants. One has a bouncy castle selection that the kids can paly on whilst you drink/eat! There is a bar with a bowling alley underneath a little bit further down the road. In the other direction is a cool bar/cafe in the side of the cliff with fish swimming around just below where you eat- not ideal for kids, but ok if you dont let them run round unsupervised.

Cala Blanca is the closest resort which you can walk to, but we needed a cab back! Has about 3 times as many shops / bars / cafes.

Ciutadella (big old capital) is 3 km away.

Buses / taxis- Fantastic bus service- cheap new buses always on time. E1.40 mainly. However, we always got a taxi. E5.60 (£4.50)or E7 at the weekend / BH to Ciutadella. Loads to see/do/eat there. Taxi drivers really helpful, always had completely empty boot to throw 2 prams and bags in. No kid seats, but they drive really slow and sedately and the roads are empty. There is usually one waiting at the commercial centre.

Tip- taxi fares appear to be the same as 4 bus fares, so if you have 4 of you its probably worth a cab.

Costs- Sa Caleta is fairly expensive at the moment. Its probably not cheap usually, but the poor exchange rate doesn't help.

Small beer E1.40 - E1.90 Main course in restaurant approx E8-12 Pizza approx E6-7

This resort is the weidest resort I have ever been to. It is more like a residential area than a holiday resort there are no hotels near the Blanc Palace its all villas. There are 3 restaurants, 1 bar & 1 souvenir shop in Sa Caleta. If you want more life you need to take a bus to Ciutedella or Cala n Bosch.

However the beach is very nice.

very small resort, mainly private villas, 1 souvenir shop and not even a handful of restaurants.

first week of holiday the beach did not even have sunbeds on it, they arrived 2nd week but were not unchained until the day before we were leaving (060608)

would not stay there again but i should have been staying in santo tomas, dont know if there is any more there but i would like to return to menorca

had a really great time will be coming back
