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.
I was extremely glad that some one called me back when I arrived at the Son Bou Gardens reception office. The reception office was closed at the time. I do not remember the ladies name, but she was very nice and came quickly. She provided me with the keys and gave me a tour of the apartment. I arrived in the off season, so I expected minor problems. I would recommend Son Bou Gardens to other visitors. My advice for over seas visitors, call or send an email before you get there to confirm your reservation to make your arrival more smooth.
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!
Great location in attractive set of apartments right by pool and with lovely views. Complex is tranquil and well maintained. Apartment is simply equipped but comfortable and enough space for 4 (2 adults 2 kids) with lovely outside area and everything we needed for our stay plus good free WiFi. Son Bou is a great base to explore the island from plus has good supermarket and shops. Staff were helpful and responsive.
Overall, it was great. Had half board and stayed 3 nights (late May - so off season). The beach is right there outside the hotel. They also gave 2 beach towels. Stayed in a room with a sea view and that was a really good decision and highly recommended. The food was good and diverse. Supermarket just across the street. Pool looked great - but didn't use it. Might return.
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.
There were so many kids activities to suit every age. The beach was beautiful with great food at the cafes but also fantastic food in the hotel. The room was spacious and clean and the gardens were lovely. My boys loved the games room and the reception staff were great at giving me change from my euro notes for the machines.
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.
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.
This place is amazing. The grounds are beautiful. Amazing views. The breakfast is fantastic. The rooms attractive, comfortable and clean. Such great amenities. The owners are so kind and friendly. The dinner is hands down the best I had in Menorca. I can't recommend this place enough. Stay here!
Tastefully refurbished old property with typical Balearic charm. Two beautiful swimming pools with great views . Surprising amenities , like a ping pong table, a table football and a sauna . Very friendly and attentive staff. Great location , close to Mahon and to Son Bou beach
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
Lovely setting, well kept gardens outside and area very clean and tidy.Appartment was great for us as a base with a pool with bar/cafe just around the corner -great pizzas 😀
Extremely clean and fully equipped. Comfortable beds and professional staff. The apartment is part of a complex that is really well maintained and close to the beach.
Management team were very visible and drove extremely high standards throughout. Excellent food, cleanliness, gardens and entertainment (daytime and evening).
