Sol Milanos Pinguinos

The hotel itself is very dated and the rooms are in desperate need of an update. The staff are amazing and very pleasant, (we did not come across any rude staff) they had great entertainment throughout the day/evening... They know how to get the holiday makers involved. I'm not a fussy eater at all, but, the food was very average. Location is good, long sandy beach with beach restaurants every 50mtrs or so. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants and bars literally across the road from the hotel. 25mins from the airport.

Just returned from a lovely week at Son Bou. The hotel is wonderfully clean ( ok the rooms a little dated) but have everything you could need including a hair dryer, fridge, shampoo, soap etc and it’s worth mentioning that the showers were nice and hot with good water pressure, which is something some places can lack! The staff are just exceptional! So friendly, and very helpful and made such an effort with our kids too. The area is amazing.. beautifully long beach ( you can walk for miles!) and a few miles of useful boardwalk just behind the dunes, perfect for evening strolls with our toddler. We’re not the sort of people who like to stay put in one place, we’re explorers…To our surprise, there was some wonderful forest walks with hidden caves and ruins to found nearby. There’s an easy bus service to Mao/Mahon every day to visit the wonderful Port. Definitely worth a visit to break up the beach days. There’s not much to fault at all, our only quibble was the evening food could be a little hit and miss. Lots of fish ( if you’re a fan, although I’m not!) but always something to be found, but some odd combinations. The breakfasts were always fabulous and always plenty of food at the snack bar too, so definitely did not go hungry! We would definitely go back 🙂

Location is great only plus side.Rooms are very small .Bunk bed for kids terrible condition paint was peeling and it was everywhere I don't think it is safe for child to sleep in there. We were on 8 flour it was nightmare to get lift . Food was average and there was always cue for it when you get there it's empty.Pool great size and nice for my kids (2 year and 7)just was anoying to see in morning towels on sun beds. I wouldn't go back

I stayed at the hotel for a week with my parents. I paid extra for a double room single occupancy which I am pleased about as I ended up next door to my parents and a nice view of the sea and pool. The rooms were nice with a fridge, fan and plenty of wardrobe space. It would have been nice to have a kettle for an afternoon cuppa but I got one in the bar for a couple of Euros. The staff were lovely and friendly, the hotel was spotless and the pool and pool area was lovely with lots of sun loungers. The restaurant is abit loud and chaotic and the evening food was a little bit hit and miss but quite a lot of choice with salad bar. Pasta Pizza and some lovely cakes available. The location of the hotel is great, right on the beach with a supermarket opposite and some nice bars and restaurants near by. I would stay here again.

The hotel is okay rooms are a bit small but are nice and clean they were cleaned on a daily basis but there was no tea making facilities in the room. The food wasn't great breakfast was okay but the evening food wasn't the best, we did have an issue with food not being cooked properly especially the burgers they were still cold and red in the middle. The pools are lovely but as I was travelling with children I think the rule of no floaties in the pool let's it's down we weren't even allowed a rubber ring in the pool. It was very quiet but I think that was due to the time of year we went, there was no childrens entertainment at night and the entertainment they did have on was only on for 30-45 minutes. The lifts are also shocking if your on a high floor unfortunately we were on the 9th floor and we had to wait ages for lifts even though there was 6 lifts. Can't say I would go back here with children don't think it's a very good hotel for children which is a shame.

Currently coming to the end of my stay, what a great stay it was, I wasn't expecting much, I just wanted a cheap short break away in the sun, I was pleasantly surprise. Firstly as a female solo traveller, I was a little nervous, but the friendly reception made me feel welcome and safe I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a Sea view which was a lovely touch as I was celebrating my Birthday. Beaches are beautiful, shallow waters ideal for little ones, a lovely beach restaurant that I used daily for lunch, reasonable prices (Pizza and a drink 13 euros) All the staff were so friendly and hard working, nothing was to much, considering the hotel closes soon for the season, they remained upbeat. Should you want to venture out there are shops,a supermarket and restaurants all within walking distance. I booked an Island excursion which was a great way to explore Menorca stress free .You can book ticket's at the same place as you exchange money, which is by the supermarket opposite hotel entrance, (follow signs, slightly down some steps) it cost £32 we were picked up at 8.45am back 6ish. The your guide was called Rafael, he owns and runs the business, as he has done for over 50 years! he is so passionate. You could join group lunch for 17 euros for a set menu, I did my own thing found a lovely cafe Back to the hotel, there is evening entertainment, a small kids park, I think 3 pools, lots of areas to chill, the main clientele at the time of my stay were Spanish, as Oct seems to be a popular time for locals to go on vacation, I quite like that, felt like you were actually in Spain The only thing I think that could do with improvement is the food,breakfast was fine, normal sausages, bacon, waffles, pastries etc, unfortunately dinner let it down a little as more of a canteen feel, quite bland, lots of beige. I did HB as it was a minimal extra cost, however I'd probably stick to BB in future, it may have just been me due to being vegetarian, however I did hear other guests grumble. As I mentioned there is the beach restaurant, and restaurants within the vicinity so plenty of other choices. All in all I would definitely stay here again, you couldn't fault the staff, the beach, the atmosphere, the pool, given all the positives I can oversee the canteen 😁 Ps Airport was about 30mins away, I booked transfers with Shuttle direct online, as you come out of departures turn left, the desk advise ETA, on return you just scan your QR code, (also shows return time on confirmation they had you on arrival)

Had a week here with family nice hotel, rooms are basic but serviceable as a disabled person i would only say lifts are small, i had to wait quite often for a lift that i could get into with my disability aid. Pool area very clean with plenty of sun beds and lifeguards always asking if i need assistance which was very nice, easy access to the very nice sandy beach too. Plenty of food choices and always edible, all in all a nice place to stay
