ApartHotel Paradise Club & Spa - Minorca

Service was great from the front desk to food, the pool is too restrictive about the caps if they would allow you to swim without the caps we would havenothing bad to say.

we stayed here for a week on an all inclusive basis. The hotel is nice and clean and the room was large and well maintained. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the drinks were generous. Unfortunately the food quality was very poor and often cold. I think this may be partly that the hotel is aimed at german guests and the food is aimed towards them but we found it very bland and unappetising. Although we went all inclusive we only ate 2 evening meals at the hotel and ended up spending about £200 eating out after the 2nd meal we tried there and the meat was too tough to cut and cold and the so called chicken nuggets were grey/brown on the inside and tasted nothing like chicken.The other main problem is some of the other guests. They were mainly german and some were really rude, (im disabled and walk with a stick and I was actually pushed out of the way by a large german man to get to the buffet) and they also had no control over their children. There was children running up and down the corridors at all hours screaming and shouting, they were riding up and down in the lifts and pushing all the buttons and chucking things in the pool and their parents were nowhere in sight. The staff spoke mainly spanish and german with little english and all the entertainment, the kids club and even the menu in the restaurant are in german so although the hotel is nice it is not really suitable for english people who dont speak either some spanish or german.

This hotel is an easy walk to either the old town of Ciutadella or the entrance to the port. It's clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly and speaks English well. Breakfast is a bit expensive (as are all hotel breakfasts), but there is a nice little bakery about a block away for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. There is a nice pool, for those who do not want to walk to the beach. The neighborhood is safe, and there is free on-street parking.

This hotel is in the middle of an urban area but feels like an oasis in the desert - except it is surrounded by trees. It exceeded all our expectations - if only we had had more than 24 hours to spend there. The dinner and breakfast we all we could want and although they were buffet style, the atmosphere was calm and leisurely with food plentiful and freshly replenished. The pool was lovely and large enough for a proper swim, surrounded by trees and comfortable sunbeds. The beach and sea were an eight minute walk away, offering a safe and pretty alternative.,
