This finca is so well done—delicious bedding, quiet without being boring, attentive staff that show up only when you need them. Breakfast is fantastic. An example of their attention to detail: I said I wanted hard boiled eggs every day and there they were, every single day. This seems like a simple thing, but someone took the time to write it down so that no matter who was working that day, they knew what I liked for breakfast.
Sol Milanos Pingüinos is set right on the 1.6 mi-long Son Bou Beach. This well-equipped hotel features a large lagoon-style pool and rooms with balconies.

The beach was the best thing about Son Bou. It was a glorious long stretch of sand with crystal clear warm waters. It might have been a bit choppy for small children some days but there were 4 lifeguards sited along the main strip (until 5pm).
We might have arrived a bit early in the season (18th to 15th May) but there were quite a few empty shops and no tourist office or signs up telling us what to do in the area or around Menorca. The beach restaurants were lovely but more expensive than the ones in the town. None of it was cheap though. The set menus were better value. Vegan choices were a bit limited but I'm used to that. We ended up having veg paella 3 days, spaghetti one day and pizza another.
If I were to go to Menorca again I would probably hire a car - the roads are simple and safe and it's possible to explore the whole island in a week. There were 5 of us so we had to have 2 taxis each time we wanted one. We used the buses to go to Ciutadella and Mahon; they were very reasonable and comfortable, more like coaches than buses.

This is my second review.
This is my second review. We reported a boiler or hot water tank problem at 1.30 am. It woke us and the noise and overheating plug worried us.
In the morning we had to insist to be offered another apartment by central reservations. I asked whether they had had similar problems previously. I was told not. I have just seen six other guests had reported "boiler" problems by searching the reviews. I wonder what I might find by searching "tank". Then one could try translations into various languages.
I do not appreciate being lied to!

Son bou is a fantastic place to stay.
Son bou is a fantastic place to stay. It has something for everyone. There is good restaurants of various food choices. The beach is easy to get to and it’s beautiful. We love the Kitcat Bar as they have entertainment a few evenings a week. They do a Quiz and in high season karaoke. All sports are played on the various TVs. It’s run by a wonderful friendly family and they make you feel very welcome. The food and drink is excellent too.

Food selection both for breakfast and dinner were great!
Food selection both for breakfast and dinner were great!
Hotel has a minibus that takes guests to the beach every half an hour (with a break during the lunch). This is great as the hotel is up the hill, the walk is not too long but can be challenging for some people.
Nearby beach is long and sandy, with options to rent umbrellas and sunbeds. It can be busy at times. Waves are often high, so swimming can be challenging.
There are a couple of restaurants near the beach, with reasonably priced decent food, in case you wish to dine out, but the hotel restaurant is much better.
There is a bus stop near the beach where you can get the bus to go to towns across the island, some direct and some with change. Buses don't go often, and there are very few of them on Sundays, so plan things ahead if you wish to venture out.
Daily boat trips on the island are often sold out, as there are only a couple of options available on the entire island, so it is recommended to book trips before arriving on the island, as the prices are fixed.
Renting a car can also be challenging, and it is recommended to check options in advance.

The beach was very long and it was easy to find space away...
The beach was very long and it was easy to find space away from other people if you wanted to. It was end of season though so probably very packed in peak season. We didn’t like the restaurants in the town - we tried three different ones during our stay and the food was decidedly average and overpriced.
It’s unlikely that we would return to Son Bou apart from going to the beach possibly.

Son Bou is a beautiful area with a great beach.
Son Bou is a beautiful area with a great beach. It’s a very clean area and has beautiful weather, even at the start of October we had clear blue skies and 26°c, perfect for sunbathing and swimming in the pool. I recommend staying in Valentin hotel.
The house was perfect! We really enjoyed everything about the property. Location was great (just a few meters away from Son Bou beach), it had plenty of space for the whole family (great living room and garden with a big swimming pool with jacuzzi) and the villa was mostly quiet so we definitely enjoyed a few days to rest. Location was also handy, in the center of the island, with many locations around. Car is definitely needed tho. Not much interaction with staff was needed but they were friendly. Would definitely come back!
Loved every moment of our stay here.
The location is perfect if you're looking to escape the city and spend a couple of days in nature - they have a huge farm you can bike around, it's close to some lovely beaches and the hotel has every amenity you might hope for.
Herman & Cristina, the two lovely people who run the hotel, made our stay special and helped us with bookings and recommendations.
The hotel is located close to the beach in a nice village and has several swimming pools. The personnel are super friendly and nice, and very appreciative. The breakfast very good and with lot of variety. Also provide a bus to go to the beach and avoid having to walk uphill. Overall highly recommended place. Also some of the restaurants in the village are highly recommended.
The location is great, up on the hill in Son Bou with a wonderful view over the dunes to the sea.
The property was neat and tidy, plenty of space, the balcony offers sun, shade and views over the garden and down to the sea.
The pool was private and perfect for a refreshing swim - might be a bit small if there were 6 of you in it.
Fantastic hotel, right on the beach. Very nice staff! Rooms clean and carefully cleaned every day. The breakfasts and dinners were just amazing! Lots of restaurants close to the hotel. Public transport stop about a hundred meters from the hotel. It is possible for trips around the island. We will definitely be back.
The location is perfect, Son Bou beach is a 5 min. walk from the apartment. Great communication with the office, Cristina was very helpful in all our questions. The appartment met all our needs. Kitchen utensils were clean and sufficient for 4 adults. Our visit was at the end of October, so the area was very quiet.
we loved the Son Bou beach and the area itself. Our apartment was very clean and comfortable. Also our flight was late in the evening so the lovely reception staff told us they have shower and towels for us if we wanted to use after the check out and before our flight. this was super convenient. thank you.
There was a mix of hotel rooms and apartments. The breakfast was free and there were free activities throughout the hotel (yoga, pool volleyball, music, etc.). The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. The pool was wonderful and the location was perfect.
The view and all the facilities. It has full equipment. The beach is walking distance BUT if you don’t have good condition you need a car or a taxi to get to the apartment. We had a great time, definitely a great location to stay
We liked pretty much everything, especially the pool and the staff at the little bar/restaurant by the pool. Although the service can be slow, the food is amazing and easily rivals any other restaurant in Son Bou.
- Friendly and helpful staff
- Excellent location to Son Bou beach (5 mins by car, 15 mins on foot)
- A couple of excellent pools
- Great family environment
- Good options for shopping, restaurants & bars
We had a lovely family holiday here. The villa is spacious for a family of four. Our little boy loved the private pool and we enjoyed spending a few hours here in between exploring the island.
Expansive, authentic property beautifully maintained. Charming owners who really want you to have a great experience. I loved the free yoga classes!Convenient location for exploring Menorca.
The staff at check-in was very friendly and helpful. It was a good start to our holiday. The house was big enough for the 4 of us for the 10 days and very comfortable.
The location was perfect, we had the swimming pool right in front of our apartment and the beach was on the comfortable walking distance. We did not book any boarding.
Location, view and staff excellent. the beach is wonderful. small town catered towards tourist. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful, made the stay nice.
