We were there in September with our two year old and had a wonderful week. Located near a lovely small sandy beach with a few supermarkets and restaurants all less than five minutes walk away. You'll find everything you need within walking distance if you're not up for exploring (we kept it simple). Our apartment backed on to a lovely grassy area, with a small balcony which was private enough to sit out on in peace. The grounds are kept beautifully with the names of plants and trees tagged all around the site. Towards the back of the grounds there is a kids play and some sandy ground with football nets area that could do with a facelift but that's a minor detail. There are two swimming pools, both impeccably clean with plenty of sunbeds to go round. There is a pool bar too with ice creams and generous measures of quality spirits on offer as well as a dining area. The kids club and small play area are situated at the back of the pool area along with boxes full of toys to use in the swimming pool which turned out very handy. What really stood out for us all week were the on-site staff.. everyone from the reception, the cleaners, the serving staff in the food area.. every single one of them were warm, genuine and helpful (and very hard working). Such a credit to the hotel. The apartment itself was very clean and had everything you need - comfortable beds, plenty of space and storage. TV in bedroom and living area (although could have done with more English channels), small kitchen and dining table... Cleaned every day with fresh new towels if needed. I wasn't a fan of the floor tiles but again small details! We only did the bed and breakfast option, breakfast was brilliant. Everything you could possibly imagine on offer every morning, including local Menorcan sausage and cheeses. There were freshly made eggs, omelette and pancakes, nuts, fruits, yogurts fresh coffee all kinds of pastries and breads.. basically everything! The coffee was served via a bean to cup machine, there were three in total and maybe could do with one more to alleviate queues at busy times. Also, the labelling on some food items could have been better but overall a fantastic breakfast awaits you every morning. Kids club in the evening was good and there were other shows available too.. perfect to keep the little ones happy before bed and allow the parents to have a drink. A couple of other points of interest: At least one hour from airport depending on how many stops the coach makes. Predominantly German resort at least while we were there but that is a positive if you ask me! Be prepared for mosquitoes! All on all a great week with great memories.. we highly recommend Gropotel Playa club and hope to be back again next year.
