We love being up the hill and the friendly staff. Food great and as good as ever this year. We were thrilled to be back 😃

Fabulous hotel. Stayed in an apartment half board for 12 days. The buffet is amazing with a lot of healthy options to eat. 10 stars. The hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Only a couple of little things that we don't like: 1.- Sometimes the bathroom had smell from the sewers. 2.- The entertainment shows at nights should start at 10pm instead of 9:30 pm once the dinner is over, because the most of the times we missed the beginning of the performances because we were still finishing our dinner.

In fact: Valentin Son Bou does not have ALL inclusive. For example, the bar barmenu, at Tropical bar is poor: I asked for aioli to the salad and got the answer, aioli is not all inclusive. The rooms and the hotel definitely need an recovering, it's clean but just old and need to be renovated The buffet is tip top, no complaning at all exept the bugs in in the wine from the pumps. It's even more...about the staff but I dont't mentionetit

This hotel was amazing! We booked last minute so wasn’t sure what to expect! The staff are amazing, every single one you meet! Receptionists are so lovely when greeting you. They help you with what they can and direct you with anything else. The facilities in this hotel are so decent! The pools are clean, the hotel is clean, the area is clean. The food - we did all inclusive, i mean food is food. It wasn’t bad, however it does get repetitive. However you can’t expect anything else with resorts. The food generally was lovely! Every night had a different cuisine, the live cooking was yummy! The desserts were yummy! Every day at the pool there are classes for all the guests to join in. It’s a pity as we couldn’t join as I have a baby with me. But it looked like so much fun - dance classes, aqua classes and baby disco all in the water! This hotel is great for families, couples. The beach isn’t walking distance but there’s a free shuttle every half an hour which takes you there and back. It takes 5mins to drive. The rooms were okay, spacious! The bathroom however needs some work to it. There’s light but it’s not bright enough for it to reach the bathroom, so it felt like you’re showering in the dark. This was the only downfall. Overall, lovely stay, pleasant staff and one happy family ☺️

Beautiful

Truly excellent hotel with great food and wonderful staff. Would definitely stay again

Lovely hotel on the hill, thank god there was a beach bus and we didn't need to climb up. The food was amazing, plenty of choices and all you can eat. The rooms are clean, shower a bit outdated but still ok. Nice swimming pool area with a bar. Stuff is very friendly and helpful, maybe not everyone understands english, but we are in Spain after all. We spent a great time here, it was very relaxing. Thanks for everything.

Good buffet / dining area, well 'stocked' - amazing choice. Swimming pool, pool cafe, plenty of loungers and also sports, kids stuff and evening entertainment. Everything you could want on site Excellent all round service by the staff.

We loved the place. The breakfast was amazing, the food at the swimming pool bar was very nice as well. The facilities are nice and clean. The only negative point will be the cleaning staff, who talk loudly and complain about working conditions in a daily basis. They also forgot several times to clean the mirrors, the terrace and they left us without shower towels one day.

Really beautiful reception, pool, bar and terrace areas with lovely staff and great food and entertainment, however, the accommodation (1bed apartment) was dated and poor quality.

Overall we had an excellent stay. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We had a nice room on the third floor with views out to sea, with an ample sized terrace, and place to hang our towels. Lovely Swimming pool and very clean too. Our room was comfortable, quiet air conditioning, beds very comfortable. Decor is very old fashioned, as seen in their pictures, and areas could do with a lick of paint, but we knew that before we booked, but something to bear in mind. Good quality entertainment everyday, particularly enjoyed “circ de pase doble”! Absolutely brilliant quality food and choice was more than enough to accommodate all needs, although don’t recommend their house wine. Shuttle bus every half hour up/down to Son Bou which we used a lot, very useful given their hill location. Highly recommend this happy environment!

Was an ok hotel but should be 3 star not 4. Have stayed at 5 4 star hotels this year and this was not on the same level. Food was nice and location good. Room was more of an issue as weather poor when there, would have been fine if were out more. Staff nice and no issues though and cheap so good enough value.

Updated but shows signs of its longevity! Fittings lack the lustre of 'newness' in the room. Plenty of hot water and very clean. The food is laden with salt (main courses) but there is plenty of choice and all seems fresh. Our waitress was overly keen to take our drinks order (we had barely sat down) but guess that better than waiting? The wine selection is vastly over priced which we found sad, given the quality on offer was standard. The reception staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The indoor pool s warm tho lacks the clarity of a fresh pool? The gym lacks the depth of one seeking a serious workout regime but is probably ample for the occasional user. A fair way from town with a steep hill on the way back to tackle but a regular bus down to the beach front throughout the day. Overall, a fair price and worthy of being shortlisted.

Stayed at hotel several times - requested a quiet room on top floor , preferably at the end- our room was on the first floor in the centre of the hotel over the entertainment !! Rooms very noisy and need sound proofing . Food excellent . Need to be more conscious of the non smokers . Entertainment is outside in the Summer and thick with smoke . Also no area for smokers , just anywhere outside and round the pool, including children’s pool .

We go every year to the Valentin and in 25 years standards have never dropped. We love it and Menorca

All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Pool was lovely. Breakfast and dinner were great - so much choice. Helpful to have the beach shuttle bus! Would recommend as somewhere to completely relax, I’m already thinking of rebooking

Extensive buffet each evening, entertainment is provided each evening.

Great staff and facility; enjoyed indoor warm pool; outdoor pool too cold for nearly everyone. Buffet was good: fish and dhicken dishes good; beef was not good. Large selection so possible to always find something acceptable. Impossible to have plain water with evening meal. Convenient bus to one of the best beach in Menorca ; be aware bus to beach takes 2hr siesta.

High levels of cleanliness. Staff very helpful and friendly. We were particularly lucky in that we were in a newly refurbished room which was exceptional. Food had a wide variety although needed to be hotter.

Just got back from 6 nights here and it was so good we are looking to go again in September. We stayed all inclusive and found the food lovely and the drinks we were entitled too was a good selection. We were worried as a couple with no children that there would be loads of children here and although it was busy due the size of the hotel it was fine. Lots of activities to do and the position of the hotel meant that the pool had the sun until early evening. Entertainment in the evening was generally good too. The rooms are a little dated but they are clean and there is plenty of storage. The staff were really helpful and friendly too. We had a brilliant time.

Hsyed the cattle like herding at the buffet style meals. Was v busy all the time. Food mass produced and largely tasteless. Quantity over quality. V noisy atmosphere not at all relaxibg .with different items located over a large area. Bit of a scrum really and wuite exhausting

I've been at Valentin hotel for 6 nights, the structure and the service are not what you might expect from a 4-star hotel. Food served from breakfast till dinner is really poor quality, plates, cutlery, and glasses are mostly dirty as probably their kitchen appliances are dated as of the furniture within the rooms. The staff at their dining area doesn't give you a smile, with special mention to the meat/eggs area. Furthermore, as a client who booked the hotel from internet, you will find out that all the drinks (even just plain water) are not included unless you bought the all-inclusive package or you are not from Alpitour, seriously? No conditioner provided in the room which is something everyone expects from a summer beach typical place. Gym service comes straight from the 80s, the gym room is more or less 4sqm with old machinery. Clients are mostly elders or families with kids.

The hotel is very good, good facility and great location. The restaurant has excellent food. Very good breakfast! What went wrong was that I had a bag with multivitamin envelopes that were in the room and from one day to the next; 20 envelopes disappeared. This was very obvious I am on a treatment ...!! And, my windbreaker waterproof lite jacket was gone. For the benefit of doubt, I inquired with the front desk to see if they found it in the lost and found department but they did not have it. My major complaint is that, which is a major aspect because these are not the type of things that you can place inside a safety box. A vacation gets ruined when something like this happens. I still have 20 days after Menorca, traveling in the Azores without my and my much loved jacket that had become a collection piece..,

Son bou is great if you want a quiet relaxing break by the sea. It has a wide sandy beach (part of this has lifeguards). I would recommend hiring a car as you will be able to access other parts of the island. The Valentin hotel has apartments as well as hotel rooms. There is a wide choice of meals from the evening buffet (we chose half board as there are not that many restaurants to choose from ). The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel has a regular bus service to the beach if you don't want to hire a car.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. New beds in the rooms very comfortable and a fridge for your drinks . Entertainment good. Good variety of food go all inclusive as the drinks expensive

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and comfortable, the food was plentiful, the cocktails were tasty, and the pool was lovely

The apartment bathroom was in a bad condition. There was rust and mould growing and the taps were no longer the original stainless steel colour, but a bronze colour from the cleaners trying to get them clean. The bathroom mirror was peeling and black around the edges and repairs to the coving and units had been very badly done. I can only compare the experience to the old style french toilets, where you just want to do your business and get out quickly. I did complain and was told that all the bathrooms were in the same condition and that the hotel had not been updated since the 80s and that there was lots of complaints about it already on the internet. I hadn't seen them, or I wouldn't have booked it! If the bathrooms were in a 4 star condition I would go back as the remainder of the hotel was very nice and well kept. It is such a shame that they ignore this problem.

We arrived at our hotel and were not disapointed just what it said on the tin were my husband's comments. Very clean indeed the whole hotel could not fault the cleanliness at all, lovely. Food very good always something we liked, and the theme nights made a special effort on these. The pool area we loved there was no fighting for loungers there are plenty, never once saw a towel saving a bed...! The terrace just above the pool was so nice to sit in the evening sun for a cooling drink before heading off to get ready for dinner. Entertainment something I would say for everyone... Loved the Temptations and the Abba night fabulous they were. We only used it once but the little bus is there to take you up and down into the center of Son Bou if you like. We hired a car and was a great idea, lots of parking at the hotel for free, and then we took trips off around the island and saw lots of other places. All in all we had a fab week weather hotel, the island was just great. I have goose bumps as I am writing this as I think about it. Will certainly return again without a doubt sometime.

good points : nice staff, nice food. bad points: location: up the hill from son bou main centre and is isolated.

Menorca is an expensive island for accommodation, in terms of what you get for your money. The Valentin Son Bou is functional, and half board, with a free beach shuttle, but in need of a refurb.

Hotel was clean but décor bit 1970s, which went with the very Butlins type of evening entertainment. Dining room was like a school hall, sitting almost on top of next table and food was very mass catered and therefore overcooked. Drinks were very limited on all inclusive - never had a cocktail out of a 'Coke' type dispenser before! Definitely not 4 star in comparison to other all inclusives we've been to. Personally wouldn't go back but if you want a 3 star and do only bed and breakfast, then it would do.

Absolutely brilliant holiday.. The hotel facilities were fabulous and our two children had a great time in the pool and enjoying the various activities available during the holiday. Our apartment was spacious and immaculately clean.. We are definitely booking for next year.
