- the swimming pools! The kids one is great for younger children and the larger one is huge and perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
-kikkoland (kids play area) is a large area with so many activities for the kids to enjoy. You can choose to drop your kid off there or stay and play with them. There is a bouncy castle, a mini soft play with slides and ball pit, playground, arts and crafts, giant building bricks and a special baby area with swings and toys for younger children. This area is hugely under-advertised and such a pro for families with young children.
- las basilicas restaurant was our favourite. We.have stayed at multiple family hotels now and this is definitely the best buffet. The fresh pasta and pizza every night was delicious..
- we hired a buggy for the whole week for 15 euros
- there was an onsite doctor. He came within 5 minutes of us calling him to see both our children who needed antibiotics.
- there is a handy tunnel for access to the beach
- evening entertainment. The most popular kids disco we have seen and some fun shows such as acrobats and magic bubbles.
- I also want to add the hotel must have taken into account the reviews that stated knives were kept in low down drawers. They had installed a knife rack up high in the kitchenette so my toddler just played with the recycling bins rather than the knives.
- not too noisy. Some family hotels have loud music playing all day. This wasn't the case. There was the odd loud aqua aerobics class but it wasn't long and the music was very fun.
We would recommend it to friends.

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.
Excellent property, brilliant location and perfect for a family get away. We have a 3yr old so were a little concerned by the amount of stairs however not a problem at all, with external stairs down to the pool area a bonus to avoid lots of post pool wet surfaces inside. Its so close to Son Bou that you can walk to the bars in 5mins, and the views of the sea are simply spectacular.
Lovely, well equipped apartment & clean. Everything about it was just right. Stunning views. Would definitely go back or to another of Menorca Vacation properties. The staff were very welcoming & helpful, even loaned us a brolly for the beach on the 1st day. Welcome pack in the apartment which on other holidays had to be requested & paid for, so a nice surprise.
We loved being at son bou playa gold for the week and definitely would stay again,
It was clean and comfortable the location was great, great restaurants and pool, a well stocked supermarket a nice walk to one of the nicest beaches on menorca,
And everyone was very helpful and friendly.
Many thanks
I had lot of fun with my 3 years old son. Very nice activities for kids and adults. The hotel is clean and with very nice balconies overlooking the sea. Ideal for families. Bus every half an hour to the beach, always on time
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.
