Just back from a perfect week at the Royal Son Bou. My 8 year old son is coeliac and this was our first all inclusive holiday since diagnosis so we were worried but it was an absolute dream. Emanuella, Jose, Jorge, Fernando to name a few in the restaurant couldn’t have been more helpful. There is a separate allergy menu which was cooked to order. I placed my son’s order the day before and when we arrived the food was brought out. Didn’t have to wait long and they always welcomed us/him with a smile and a wave. He honestly didn’t feel left out at all, pancakes for breakfast and lovely desserts as well as pasta and chips (exactly what he wanted) The hotel itself is great, pool is fabulous and lots to keep younger visitors entertained. The beach is just a few hundred yards away. We can’t wait to go back next year!
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review and, especially, for describing your experience travelling with a child with coeliac disease. We completely understand how important it is for families to feel confident and reassured when it comes to food safety while on holiday. We are delighted to know that our allergy procedure worked so well for your son and that he was able to enjoy his meals without feeling left out. Our Guest Relations and Restaurant teams work closely together to manage allergies and intolerances, and in cases such as coeliac disease we can organise a dedicated menu with dishes prepared to order, helping us provide a service that is as safe and adapted as possible to each guest’s needs. A very special thank you for mentioning Emanuella, Jose, Jorge and Fernando. We will be delighted to share your kind words with them. Knowing that their care, friendliness and attention made such a difference to your son’s holiday will mean a great deal to them. We are also very pleased that you enjoyed the pool, the entertainment for younger guests and our location close to the beautiful Son Bou beach. The best compliment of all is reading that you cannot wait to return next year. We will be absolutely delighted to welcome your family back and make sure your son can once again enjoy his holiday, and his pancakes, pasta and desserts, with complete confidence. Kind regards, David Fibla Guest Relations Team

This was our second visit to the royal son Bou after 15 years when we travelled with our four children, the eldest being 16 and the youngest 20 months old. We returned with three of our children, our daughter in law and two grandchildren. I can honestly say the hotel has kept its amazing reputation. Everywhere is kept immaculately clean, the staff work tirelessly. Our rooms were cleaned every day, the beds were made and towels changed. We were always accommodated in the restaurant, being a party of 7 they always found us a table and nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of variety with the food, dessert night was incredible. The house wine was pretty descent and my husband enjoyed the beer. Around the pool we always found sunbeds, there is a strict no sunbed saving rule and people kept to it. All in all we had a fantastic holiday.
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review and, above all, for choosing to return to the Royal Son Bou Family Club after 15 years. It is truly heartwarming to know that you came back with the next generation of your family and that we were able to live up to the happy memories of your first stay. We are delighted that you appreciated the cleanliness of our facilities, the daily housekeeping service, the variety of our food, and especially our themed dessert evening. We are also very pleased that our restaurant team was always able to accommodate your family together and that nothing was ever too much trouble. Your kind words about our staff mean a great deal, as they work hard every day to create memorable family holidays. It is also a pleasure to read that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere around the pool and that our sunbed policy helped everyone make fair use of the facilities. Thank you once again for your lovely comments and for placing your trust in us once more. We hope it won't be another 15 years before we have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back to the Royal Son Bou Family Club. Kind regards, Nicky Nicolai – Guest Relations Manager

Amazing place we will definitely be returning. Could always get a sunbed although it states no reserving and loads of people did and went off to the beach for most of the day. I have food allergies and they catered to it perfectly which helped with my anxiety of knowing I was safe with what was cooked fresh for me. The children really enjoyed it and didn't want to leave. Nice and quiet on an evening, you can hear the entertainment but wasn't anything that was too loud that disturbed sleep. We was worried about noise with having two Sen children but we didn't need to and was nice to see it being all families and no loud drunk adults throughout the day or evening. Close to the beach only a few minutes walk away. We will definitely be returning.
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience at the Royal Son Bou Family Club. We are delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable holiday and that you are already planning to return. It is especially rewarding to know that our team was able to cater safely for your food allergies, helping you feel relaxed and confident throughout your stay. Providing personalised assistance for guests with allergies and dietary requirements is something we take very seriously. We are also pleased that your children had such a fantastic time and that your family enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the resort. Creating a safe, family-friendly environment where parents can relax and children can have fun is exactly what we aim to achieve. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the sunbeds. Our policy does not allow reserving sunbeds, and our team regularly monitors this. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience for all our guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you and your family back to the Royal Son Bou Family Club for another memorable holiday. Kind regards, Nicky Nicolai – Guest Relations Manager

Family of 5. Kids ages 8,5 and 3. We had an absolute amazing time. Wonderful setting. Short transfer from airport. Both pools excellent for our kids ages. Lots of free sunbeds. Food options great. 2 restaurants being buffet style my kids appreciated Cute little bathroom in apartments for kids in cuqui apartments was great. Kikoland although we didnt leave the smaller kids we enjoyed going for a break from the sun and lots of things to do. Mini farm is mini but a cute we I traction with the goats and chickens. Older one enjoyed the royal club for a chance to chill without us. The beach which is 2 minute walk away along a secluded path was wonderful and so beautiful. We would go down at 10 and take a picnic from the hotel.

Thank you once again for your kind recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back to Menorca for another unforgettable holiday.

We stayed for a week half board as a family of 4. The hotel facilities for children were excellent, great location right on the beach and the hotel was immaculate. The maintenance and cleaning staff worked constantly to keep everything spotless. Restaurant and bar staff worked tirelessly. Entertainment was great and just the right balance, you could join in if you wished but there was no pressure if you just wanted to relax. Food was great, good selection and options for more picky eaters. Everything was fresh and constantly replenished. It was my birthday whilst we were away and we came back to our room to find a complimentary bottle of cava, which was a really nice gesture. We are already thinking about booking for next year.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you very much for sharing such a wonderful review of your family holiday with us.

It is also very rewarding to read your kind words about our maintenance and cleaning teams, who work every day to keep the hotel in excellent condition for our guests. We are pleased that the birthday gesture was a nice surprise and helped make your stay even more special.

We returned to this family friendly hotel for a 2nd time as grandparents with the grandchildren returning for a fourth consecutive visit. ALL the staff are very friendly and helpful in all areas. Food had plenty of variety in both restaurants with the children loving the idea of serving themselves. Rooms are well equipped with a free safe included.My only disappointment was the mattress - too soft.The room was cleaned every day. Pools were great with the large one heated with lots of sunbeds available.The small pirate pool opened at 10am and filled up quickly and was not heated.There is a new splashpad in kiko land which opens twice per day. Bars have a great choice of drinks for ai guests with ice cream and lollies readily available. All the areas in the hotel are immaculately clean but be careful on the many tiled floors if it rains. Outside in son bou there are three or four bars and restaurants and was very quiet in may.The beach is a lovely sandy one with lifegaurds on duty. Overall we would not hesitate to return again next year.Highly recommend if you have young children ie up to ten years of age
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for sharing such a detailed and wonderful review of your stay at the Royal Son Bou Family Club. It makes us truly happy to know that you chose to return to us once again and that your grandchildren have now visited for the fourth consecutive time. This loyalty means a great deal to our entire team. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed the friendliness and helpfulness of our staff, the variety of food in both restaurants, the cleanliness of the hotel, our bars, and the family-friendly atmosphere throughout the resort. It is also lovely to hear that the children enjoyed serving themselves at the buffet and making the most of the facilities, including the new splash zone in Kikoland. Regarding the mattress, we are sorry to hear that you found it too soft. We would like to mention that our mattresses have two sides: one softer and one firmer. Had we known during your stay, perhaps we could have helped by turning the mattress to the firmer side for you. We would also like to kindly clarify that the large swimming pool is actually not heated, whereas the small pirate pool is heated using solar energy. Unfortunately, May has been somewhat cloudy this year, which can sometimes affect the water temperature. Thank you once again for your lovely recommendation and for highlighting so many positive aspects of your stay. We are already looking forward to welcoming you and your family back again next year. Best regards, Nicky Nicolai Guest Relations Manager

Went for a weekend in September 2026. When we arrived early afternoon room was not ready so we went to large pool. Was a great pool with a bridge that provided shade. Just about got some sun loungers. The room in D5 was right at the back and opposite the kids club play area. We woke up the second day and the room was infested with ants. Hundreds of them in shoes and bags. The air conditioning was dreadful and the beds were stiff and cheap. A huge wooden ceiling fan made so much noise the next apartment mother knocked on our door at 11pm to say her kids couldn’t sleep because of it. Food was nothing special - was hot but just meh average. Supermarkets and bars/restaurants are 1 min away so explore. The beach is accessible by a grim looking tunnel, but once there it is a lovely place - just remember to bring a parasol. Water was calm and lovely temperature. Hotel sent someone with bug spray but it did not stop the ants getting into a second floor room. Also requested a specific pillow that was not delivered. This is a great location, not far from airport and next to beach, but rooms are needing upgrades, better air con and comfortable mattresses. Would not stay again until these parts are fixed. A shame as pool is great size and beach is relaxing.

Everything was perfect, apart from finding an extremely dangerous gardening knife in the greenery around the pool, which we took to reception but heard no further, we have since reported this to Jet2 and are awaiting there response.

Our fourth visit to the Royal Son Bou Family Club was another fabulous family holiday. This hotel truly caters for everyone and keeps guest enjoyment at the center of everything they do. We ate delightful food, relaxed, recharged our batteries, and created wonderful memories all thanks to this brilliant resort. Every single team member, from the managers to the. reception the cleaners to the kitchen staff, and bar crew, is incredibly friendly and goes out of their way to help The food is exceptional, especially when you consider the large volume of guests they cater for dailyThe entertainment team works tirelessly day and night to keep everyone happy. I don’t want to say anything negative about the resort but if I could offer one piece of advice As a returning guest, is around the evening entertainment. Because we've visited so many times, we had already seen quite a few of the shows. A quick refresh of the lineup wouldn't go amiss! Don't get me wrong—the shows are more than adequate and the acts are definitely not bad, but a little variety would be amazing for returning families. While all the staff are great, we want to give a special shout-out and a huge thank you to Sylvia, Dom, and the returning Tony (TJ) from the bar for looking after us so well! We cannot recommend the Royal Son Bou highly enough to anyone wanting a fabulous, stress-free holiday. We will definitely be back!
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing the Royal Son Bou Family Club for your fourth family holiday with us. Knowing that you continue to return and create new memories here year after year is one of the greatest compliments we can receive. We are delighted that you once again enjoyed our gastronomy, the atmosphere of the resort and, above all, the friendliness and dedication of our entire team. Many of our colleagues have been part of the Royal Son Bou family for years, and one of the things that makes us most proud is seeing them return season after season, creating those familiar faces that our returning guests recognise and appreciate. We will, of course, make sure that your special thanks reach Silvia, Dow and Tony (TJ). We also sincerely appreciate your constructive suggestion regarding the evening entertainment. We completely understand that families who visit us repeatedly may encounter shows they have already seen. Your feedback is particularly valuable precisely because it comes from someone who knows our programme after four stays, and we will gladly share it with our Entertainment team when planning future programmes. It is wonderful to know that you were able to relax, recharge and enjoy another stress-free family holiday with us. And hearing that you will definitely be back already makes us look forward to welcoming you for visit number five! Thank you once again for your loyalty, your recommendation and your lovely words about our team. Kind regards, Nicky Nicolai - Guest Relations Manager

This year was our 11th stay at Royal Son Bou Family Club. We don't know how it is possible, but we seem to enjoy every moment of our holiday there more and more every year. The appartments (we think the Ququi Royal with 2 separate bedrooms is perfect), the view, the pools, the beach, the food, our whole family enjoys it so much! There are so many activities for each age-group. Our teenagers enjoy them, but also for adults there is a lot to enjoy, for us the almost daily waterpolo game is an absolute favorite. All these aspects are so great, because every person working at Royal Son Bou is so incredibly friendly! We won't write down any names, simply because there are to many fantastic people working there, in all the different type of jobs there are at the hotel. So great to see so many familiar and friendly faces every year among the whole staff. And among the yearly returning guests as well! So many people who return to this place each year, that alone says enough! We are definitely coming back next year to enjoy our 12th stay at Royal Son Bou! Nothing but love for this place and the people there.
Response from Property: Dear Family, What an incredible pleasure it is to read your review after your 11th stay at the Royal Son Bou Family Club! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to choose us year after year and for describing us as the “best family hotel ever.” We are delighted that the Cuqui Royal apartment, the views, pools, beach and gastronomy continue to make your holidays so special. We are also particularly happy that you highlighted the variety of our entertainment programme. We work with different age groups so that children and teenagers can find activities suited to them, while our adult programme includes sports and activities such as your favourite water polo, as well as Pilates, Zumba, Aquagym, volleyball, archery and many other options. But what touches us most is what you say about our people. We are extremely proud to have colleagues who have been part of the Royal Son Bou family for many years and, above all, that so many of them choose to return season after season. This continuity is what allows returning families like yours to find so many familiar faces each year and helps create that special feeling of coming back to a place where people already know each other. And you are absolutely right: seeing so many families returning year after year is one of the greatest compliments we could ever receive. After 11 holidays together, you are very much part of the Royal Son Bou story too. We already look forward to welcoming you back for stay number 12 next year. We hope there will be many more water polo games, familiar faces and wonderful family memories waiting for you! With our warmest regards, David Fibla Guest Relations Team

This was our second time staying at the Royal Son Bou and we had just as much fun, if not more, than the first time two years ago. It is impressive how well-run this accommodation is, all the while remaining friendly, warm and attentive. The staff go above and beyond in making sure we were looked after. In particular, David at the concierge desk, was incredibly helpful in arranging a boat tour and dinner reservations - and checked in with us to make sure all was good. The pool is immaculate and sparkling, our rooms were tidied everyday like clock-work, the food (our son's favorite part, after the pool) is varied, plentiful and tasty. Highly, highly recommend for a family holiday.
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for choosing the Royal Son Bou Family Club for the second time and for sharing such a wonderful review. We are delighted to know that, two years after your first visit, you enjoyed your family holiday just as much — if not even more. It is particularly rewarding to read your comments about how well organised the hotel is while still maintaining the warm, friendly and attentive atmosphere that we always aim to provide. We are also very pleased that you appreciated our immaculate pool. Besides being a great place to relax and cool down, the main pool hosts different activities throughout the week for both children and adults, including our weekly Pool Party, adding even more fun to family days around the pool. It is wonderful to hear that your son enjoyed our food so much — even if the pool still managed to take first place! We aim to keep the buffet varied throughout the stay, and both of our restaurants offer changing themed corners, adding different flavours and specialties to the daily selection. Thank you very much as well for your kind words regarding the assistance received from Guest Relations. It was a pleasure helping you arrange your boat trip and restaurant reservations and making sure afterwards that everything had gone as planned. Our Guest Relations team is available to help families make the most of Menorca, from booking boat trips and excursions to recommending restaurants and helping organise different experiences around the island. Knowing that you highly recommend us after your second stay means a great deal to the whole team. We sincerely hope to welcome you and your family back for a third visit to the Royal Son Bou Family Club. Kind regards, David Fibla Guest Relations Team

This hotel is next to one of the most beautiful beaches of Minorca. That’s a pity that the landscape is affected by the 2 towers of the Melia Hotel on the other side of the street! Staff at the reception made huge efforts to help us for everything! A big thank to Rino for his courtesy. I recommend this paradise for families.
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for recommending the Royal Son Bou Family Club to other families. We are delighted to know that you particularly enjoyed our privileged location next to the beautiful Son Bou beach, as well as the family atmosphere that makes our hotel such a special place for children. Your kind words about our Reception team are especially appreciated. We will make sure to pass on your compliments to Rino, who will be very happy to know that his courtesy and assistance contributed positively to your holiday. Our team is always happy to help guests with anything they may need, from information about the island to organising excursions, transport or other arrangements during their stay. We also understand your comment regarding the surrounding landscape, although this is naturally something beyond our hotel's control. Thank you once again for describing us as a “paradise for families.” We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back to Menorca for another wonderful holiday. Kind regards, Anabella Hernández Guest Relations

It was our second time coming to the Royal Son Bou and we loved it just as much as the first time. The upgrade to the entertainment area is fab. All of the staff from the animation crew to the waiters are brilliant and make it feel so welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We’ll be back!
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for choosing the Royal Son Bou Family Club for the second time and for sharing such wonderful feedback with us.

A lovely week was had by us all for our first family holiday abroad! I will say we have a 3 year old and an 8 year old so a bit of an age gap. We found the 3 year old really enjoyed the offerings in kikoland but our 8 year old found it quite boring and babyish. The staff are absolutely amazing with all the children and grown ups too! Foodwise, our children are vegetarian and I’m Vegan and whilst I could find something most evenings the kids lived off chips and ice cream. Some more vegan protein options would have been a plus. I would say also there were some nights that labelling were completely wrong. Ie chicken and tuna labelled vegetarian on a couple of nights. The allergens on the labels were very much appreciated. All staff over the hotel are lovely. They kindly arranged a taxi for us at reception and went through some days out for us. The cleaners always say hi and spoke to the kids. The rooms were fine but I wouldn’t say the one bedroom apartments are big enough for a family of 4 or more. The kitchen was the tiniest kitchen I’ve seen in my life and there definitely was not enough drawers/wardrobe space for 4 people. We took the mattress off one of the sofa beds and put it on the floor with a bed guard in the bedroom for our 3 year old and that worked well. All in all we wouldn’t return as there is nothing in the area to do and our kids found it quite boring. Limited shops and restaurants nearby
Response from Property: Dear Family, Thank you very much for sharing such detailed feedback following your first family holiday abroad. We are pleased to know that you particularly appreciated the friendliness and attention of our team throughout the hotel, and that your three-year-old enjoyed Kikoland. We are sorry, however, that your eight-year-old did not find the activities as engaging. We would like to clarify that our entertainment programme is divided by age groups precisely to adapt the activities to the children as much as possible. For children aged 7 to 12, we have our Junior Club, with activities specifically designed for this age group. We also offer the Royal Club, a dedicated space aimed at slightly older children, providing them with another environment where they can meet, play and enjoy age-appropriate activities. Regarding your dietary requirements, we appreciate your comments and are sorry that you felt the vegan selection was limited. We would have encouraged you to let our Guest Relations team know that you were vegan, as we have certain vegan products available upon request which are not necessarily displayed directly on the buffet. Our team is available to discuss dietary requirements individually and help guests find the most suitable options. We also take your comments regarding incorrect food labelling very seriously and will pass them on to the relevant department for review. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the apartment. Our one-bedroom apartments have a maximum occupancy of four people and are designed accordingly, although we fully understand that each family's space and storage requirements can be different. For families looking for additional space and comfort, we also offer two-bedroom apartments, which may be a more suitable option. We are grateful for your kind words about Reception, Housekeeping and the rest of our staff, and we are pleased they helped make your first family holiday abroad a positive experience despite the aspects that did not fully meet your expectations. Thank you again for your detailed and constructive feedback. Kind regards, Nicky Nicolai Guest Relations Manager
