This was our second visit to these apartments for the second year running following a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing holiday in 2007. We stayed at the Macarella apartments in Cala n Bosch for 11 days and were not disappointed!

On arrival, we were lucky enough to have been allocated one of the superb two floor apartments which have a bathroom and the bedroom on the first level and the living area, kitchen, pool view balcony with a table and chairs and terrace with sun loungers to the back on the upper level (on the roof). This was fantastic being an older family (Mum with an 18 and a 16 year old) as everyone had their privacy and space!

The location cannot be faulted in the slightest! Both beaches are within easy reach: Cala n Bosch beach just a few meters away or Son Xorigeur about a 10 minute walk. The Marina with the vast array of resteraunts, bars and interesting shops to browse around make a great evening out and remains safe and lively until about 11pm. Be sure to try the champagne sangria in Tex-Mex!

The hotel bar we found was a nice way to end the evening with available seating at any time on the large terrace. Entertainment here i think starts at 8:30pm for the children and finishes at roughly 10:30pm. This enertainment is not disruptive either, one evening we sat in (our apartment was located closely to the entertainment) and it did not bother us in the slightest.

The water park is definately worth a visit for older children with four great water slides; some with inflatable rings to go down on, a large pool, a paddling pool with smaller slides as well as a wave pool. This was quite a pricey day, not having that much change from 100 Euros for three adults but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would not have missed this outing!

Many excursions are available from Thomson (who we travelled with), the hotel and also simply glass bottom boats leaving the marina regularly.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, fantastic weather and no problems what-so-ever! Would definately return for a third time!

Have just returned from a 10 night stay at the macarella with my husband and 15 year old daughter. The accommodation was very good and is definately 4*. It is an ideal location and very clean. We visited the resort 8 years ago and so I knew what to expect but was pleasantly surprised to find that it had been developed a bit more but still remained family friendly. The one negative for me was the entertainment team at the hotel which I thought was very poor during the day. During our stay a lot of the entertainment was throwing young children in the pool or playing games with the younger children and not very much for the older ones even though there were lots of teenagers with their families. In my opinion the girl in charge was too young. Despite this we had a lovely holiday and I would reccommend the complex.

We recently spent aweek at the Macarella. The hotel was very clean, the staff very professional and pleasant. The hotel rooms are very spacious and of a high standard. The marina is very close by with an assortment of resturants and the beaches were in walking distance of the hotel and very clean. It was a very enjoyable family holiday and we always felt safe. If you have a young family or want a quite restfull break its the perfect location. We will definately return.

Had a great two weeks at this hotel, I'd read good reviews, all accurate. Lots of families there, we'd gone with 2 toddlers ourselves and were made very welcome everywhere, Menorca is well known for being a quieter island and everyone makes a fuss over kids.

We were going to take a double buggy, but then I read that the hotel hired buggies - brilliant idea! We took one single buggy, then hired a second one when we arrived for 15 euros a week. Well worth it to 'stroll' with both kids in the evenings and not have to carry my 3yr old home.

Good kids entertainment, Reuben and Monica keeping them occupied. My two are a little young, but did do some things, painting in the shade at midday was a good break from the sun. 8.30pm mini disco was also well attended, nothing like a bit of euro disco routines, great fun!

Hotel close to the beach and marina, and plenty of places to eat there. Supermarket is next door to the hotel, stocks most things, but a bigger one is only in the marina.

Apartment was good, clean, modern. We had all that we needed, and facing the pool was good. Seemed that families with young children, like us, were allocated ground floor rooms, which made it easier to not have to use the lifts.

We hired a car and travelled, easy to drive everywhere and I recommend Fornells on the North coast. Lots of lovely beaches in Menorca.

Do recommend. I'd go there again
