Menorca Binibeca by Pierre & Vacances Premium

The breakfast was fantastic. Plenty of choice, and a huge selection of hot and cold food. Fruit, pastries, eggs, breads, meat and cheese . . . truly you have your pick! The coffee was poor but I've found that to be normal for a resort-style breakfast. If you're on the look out for a good Menorcan coffee, I'd recommend stopping in at a cafe in the small beach town nearby, or even heading into Mahon.

Unfortunately we had a bad start to our stay. The bedroom we were allocated was in the centre of the resort, accessible by a stairwell which felt like a fire escape, and it had a very small view of the sea (when most of the apartments have an excellent clear view). The room smelt of damp, and of the bathroom. Our bed sheets had a small stain on them (these were promptly changed) but all in all we didn't get a good first impression. The safe in our room was also broken . . . many small annoyances which added up to disappointment. The staff were helpful-ish when we raised our concerns, but it wasn't until the second day when we tallied up all of the small annoyances that we were offered to change room. The second room we were given was MUCH better! It had a clear view directly out onto the water, and although it was exactly the same layout as our previous room, there was no unpleasant smell and it was clean. The safe though was again broken, and the fridge was leaking. It felt like everything was a little bit in need of TLC. The bathroom setup is tricky, since there's poor ventilation. The walls and floors get very wet with humidity. You can clear this up with a towel, but you have to request clean towels from reception or dry them outside your apartment (fine if it's good weather, but tricky if - like us - you have a few rainy days). Overall we found that the location of this resort was excellent and the breakfast was great. Had we been given the second room we had when we first checked in, we probably would have glazed over some of the annoyances we encountered, but overall the resort fell short of our expectations. It all felt a bit hap-hazard and the staff whilst polite, were not particularly warm or helpful. There are many wonderful places to stay in Menorca, and on balance I wouldn't recommend staying here.
