Barceló Hamilton Menorca - Adults Only

Stayed for a week in early May and after reading some reviews regarding the roof top and building work next door we had our initial concerns, these were both soon forgotten about almost immediately after we arrived. Yes the rooftop sundeck was open but the bar wasn't (this didn't bother us as it made it much quieter and easier to get the nice sunbeds), there was work being carried out next door but the noise was minimal and unobtrusive and didn't affect our holiday at all. Check in was slow unfortunately and took us over 2 hours to be allocated our room, we subsequently found out there was a laundry issue. The room was well presented with what we can only describe as the best mattress we've ever slept on, however there were a few small ******* that could require attention :- there are no drawers anywhere in the room, sliding doors for the wardrobe very noisy and sticky, shower so narrow you can barely turn around (the overhead shower couldn't be turned off completely and constantly dripped to a point I had to put a plastic bag over it) and having the wash basin in the main room was also strange! The restaurant food was generally good and plentiful though as said in other reviews it could have been warmer, freshly cooked food by the chef was excellent. Morning breakfast was superb and the staff worked tirelessly and was always happy. The location of the hotel is 1st class for a peaceful break, a short walk from the hotel you have excellent restaurants and just around the corner is a beautiful harbour with shops and restaurants (and ice cream shops). Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Hamilton and would certainly go back

On arrival we were wowed by the views. There was a delay checking in due to Laudry problems, out of the control of the hotel. We were offered drinks and lunch to help compensate for the delay. The hotel was spotless, breakfast had so many options all laid out ready to take your pick from ( if you cant find something to eat, then I would be shocked) The staff are absolutely brilliant, friendly, helpful and chatty. I had a couple of issues which were dealt with and certainly not issues I would raise on here. It is a shame that some of the people staying there felt the need to moan about the slightest of things and actually made me embarressed to be British. If you have a problem, speak to the staff in a polite manner and they will do all they can to resolve things. The rooms are a good size, I certainly had enough storage, although I can understand that those that pack as if they are never returning home, may feel that more storage was needed. The way the bathroom is designed it a little different, but didnt alter my overall opinion. No, the sky bar wasnt open, but the terrace opened whilst we were there and was a lovely spot to sun bathe. The pool area is not huge, but plenty of room to enjoy the sun or shade depending on your preferences. Found some lovely places locally to eat a little further from the hotel and away from where most people were eating. Had a fantastic massage at a good price, certainly relieved stresses. Like any hotel there will always be things that could be a little better, and speaking with the manager these are gradually being addressed, but generally there were no major issues. According to some of the guests, Jet2 had informed them of major building works, this is not the case, there is a renovation happening at the end of the hotel of a house, I have to say there was no noise from it at all. I loved being up early watching the larger ships coming past, with the sun rising behind them. Would I go back again, yes in a heartbeat. I was sorry that we had to leave. To all the staff there, thank you for your hard work, your humour and dedication to your jobs. Maybe if and when I come back can we not make it quite so eventful lol. Room 135 (6-13th May)

So we have just got back today from a fabulous 4 night break . We stayed B&B as we are not fans of AI , not because of the food etc but we like to eat out in different places . The breakfast was great , lots of choice to be had and always someone available if you wanted anything. The staff all work incredibly hard . The hotel is in an amazing position overlooking the clear sea and we watched numerous cruise ships and other various boats coming and going every evening whilst eating out for dinner in the restaurants in Cala fonts .We had a superior room on the 4th floor which overlooked the pool. We was lucky to get the evening sun on our balcony . Our room was clean , tidy with everything you need . We used the local bus 02 to Mahón three times which is an excellent service & we then went to Cala en porter beach on another bus from Mahón which was so worth it for a few hours . Please don’t get put off with some of the negative reviews as you can’t please everyone. This hotel is a good choice, adults only and on a lovely island . Thank you to all the lovely staff .
