Great villas location very quiet.
I stayed in the villas Amarillas next to the round about, number 8.
There is a local spar which is about a 5 to 8 minute walk depending how fast you walk quite expensive compared to the aldi which we ordered a taxi to take us about a 10minute drive from the villa. If you carry on past the spar there is a small beach and few restaurants. If you walk 30 minutes the other way you come to cala Blanca and the irish bar and a few more restaurants and shops. Taxis are harder to get for small journeys and a couple never tuned up when we had called them they prefer airport jobs so I was told.
The area is very quiet and nothing is really on the door step of the villa. 
The villa its self is lovely, adequate kitchen and living room sofa not very comfortable and could probably do with updating. Wifi was okay. Bedrooms all you needed with storage. Both bathrooms had a bath with over head shower. Towel and bed change every 3 days. Pool man also comes once a week to clean and drop a tablet in. We did take a small net bought from a pound shop which came in handy for the levaes. Took also my own baking tins for the oven, spices, dried pasta, packet sauces mixes spices Coleman's spag bol ect, breakfast items, salt pepper, wraps this was a great idea then only bought fresh food to go with everything I'd brought. We didnt eat out much maybe 3 times in 14days the walk was to far for my elderly parent and taxi not great service plus August month is very warm to walk in. 
We got a taxi to the market on a Friday that was a great day out. 
The villa only had air con in the bedrooms really could do with fitting this throughout especially in the hotter months. 
The pool is a great size and no getting up for sunbeds is a real bonus. Seen many little lizards on the garden walls which kept the kids entertained. We also took the firestick with us for the tv. Overall a lovely villa and beautiful scenery. I'm not sure I'd return only with the walk and not much to do. If you want a peaceful holiday tho this is the place. 


Great villa

Loved it. Clean, great aircon and fans kept it nice and cool, lovely private clean pool with plenty of seats and loungers. Only 5 minutes stroll to about 8 restaurants, Jenny's and Nautilus were me and the wife's favourites and there was also a nice Indian. Don't forget your duty free to enjoy sitting round the pool as this was a quiet relaxing holiday where you can just totally chill out during the day and enjoy a short stroll to have a meal and drink in the evening. Good supermarkets for the self caterers near the restaurants. Didn't drive anywhere but the active would have to as the caves in the park across the road were the only tourist attraction to visit on foot and at €10 and about 40 minutes long is a must. Bus stop 50m (not used). I would describe this as my idea of the perfect do absolutely nothing but relax holiday.

Peaceful holiday

Lovely peaceful location, clean throughout, wife said it would be nice to have a dressing table with mirror in a bedroom, lovely private pool, aircon and fans kept it nice and cool, double bedroom with bathroom upstairs the 2 other bedrooms on lower floor with another bathroom between them. Nice choice of about 8 bar/restaurants within a 5 minute stroll, don't miss the Tbone or half chicken & chips at Jenny's and definitely visit the Nautilus bar/restaurant. 

Lovely Villa

Arrived in a thunderstorm and torrential downpour. All power was off to the Villas but we were offered a room in the hotel which was gratefully accepted. All ok the following morning and we arrived at our villa. Be aware there are many one way streets and you have to drive round to find the villas, there are 6 together but back onto each other, so 3 on one street and 3 behind on next street. We stayed in Villa 1. Very clean and spacious. There was only the two of us so we didn’t bother with the master bedroom upstairs, the double room and bathroom downstairs was perfectly adequate. On arrival, there were two chairs and an umbrella in the pool as a result of the previous nights storm but maintenance arrived and quickly sorted everything out. We had hoped to be left alone but there were bed linen changes two days after we arrived and then again three days later. We were only there for a week so these changes were not really necessary. When we have stayed in other apartments/villas, the linen has been changed but also the floors swept and even cleaned. This did not happen here. It would be nice if basics like salt and pepper and washing up liquid were available as you don’t really want have to go out and buy packets/bottles when you are only there a week. Bed was comfortable and plenty of comfy seating in lounge area. Don’t bother with the TV. Wi-fi fine.

Private and quiet

Okay, so booked with on the beach and all flights, transfers etc. Good. Bit of a walk from the hotel to the villas, much further than I hoped and with a foot injury didn't help. Staff at hotel offered to call a taxi, but felt a bit narked on the suggestion. Is it really that far? The villa was tamarind 1 and was right next to a very busy road. There were 6 or so villas in the block and these were furthest from calla blanca. There are some closer on called de colom but appears you take pot luck on section. The villas are nice and spacious. Three bedrooms, two bath, kitchen dining lounge etc. They are in pretty good nick, minor complaints are, one or two oven hob buttons boken, some pool tiles missing, one air con that wouldn't go below 25. But all in all these were nice villas, just shame about the main road. Still, I live on a main road and by a train station so could zone it out quickly. The maids do a fantastic job and the pool guy seemed to know his job though son got infected ear from swimming. Next time with villa I'll take ear plugs and a cheap pool testing kit. The public transport is excellent, you can track you busses online. The drivers are great and we'll humoured. If I had a pound for each time they pointed upwards to an imaginary button in the air I'd be rich. The local area is quiet but there are some nice areas to eat and some not quite so. It is quiet and very residential. But the menorcans are lovely people and felt very safe and welcome. For us, having a nice villa, our own space and easy access to facilities and public transport were essential and worked for us. Ravers you are on the wrong island. Will be back to sample some other areas of menorca as there is more to this island to discover. Citidella lovely old town.

Quite good

Second time staying in these villas and we had a wonderful time, the villa does need a little bit of TLC as there are a few tiles missing from the pool and the air con leaked a lot but the hotel staff came and sorted out any problems very quickly.

Menorca 2019

We arrived at Mahon and picked up our car the drive to the villa was very easy. The villa is well equipped and outside BBQ fantastic, The boys loved going in there own pool, Very relaxing holiday, Big supermarket a drive away but has everything, Nice beach we took the car down there, we also went to Cala Galdana to see some friends and beach there is great too, Pedaloes etc. Perfect quiet family time

Family Fun

We were allocated the Esperanza villa, located facing the empty land. I would have preferred one of the villas closer to the resort but we couldn’t get one. There is a very busy dual carriageway at the end of the road and one of the villas is right next to it. I imagine that would be a nightmare to stay in. 

The villa was clean and as modern as it can be. Comfy sofas and enough seating for us (family of 5, 3 small children) The beds aren’t the comfiest unfortunately. The fridge could be doing with getting replaced because it didn’t close properly. The hotel provided some toiletries for us and toilet roll which was good. There was mosi plug ins in every room, I was still bitten (don’t normally get bites) but I think they mainly came from the restaurants. There was no air con in the living area but it wasn’t too bad in the height of summer. There was mould in the upstairs bathroom but it was a very hot room so not surprised. The hair dryer didn’t work either. Oddly there are no lamps in the living area or downstairs bedroom. This would be such a great, simple addition too. 

There is no information in the villa about the local area or recommendations of restaurants etc. I have found this information on previous holidays very useful. Apparently the cleaners should be round every 3 days, we had got to end of week 1 and hadn’t seen a cleaner. I emailed the hotel and someone was round that day. The pool guy came on Sunday’s to drop the chlorine tabs in and that was it. He never cleaned the pool. It would be good if the villa had a pool net for the guests to use if there was leaves in it. The pool has some tiles loose and part of the steps are broken. It was never a major issue, my son did hurt his foot but it wasn’t serious. 

We had a travel cot and mattress provided by the hotel. However, no bedding was provided. 

The grounds were lovely, the owners have obviously taken some feedback from guests from previous reviews. They have replaced the grass areas with stones and it was spotless. I did notice some of the other villas still had grass areas though.

The villa for us is located too far from the main resort, we had to walk because we didn’t hire a car. Walking doesn’t bother us but in the heat with the kids was tough at times. The main resort is very quiet and doesn’t have a lot of places to eat.

Having used Villa Plus in the past I was really annoyed with the check in and out. I don’t understand why they want you to go to the hotel to collect the keys. Then again to hand them back. It’s some walk with children and luggage. They should provide a shuttle to take you to the villa if this is the way they expect you to check in/out. Villa Plus send you a code for the key box. We were lucky on arrival we had a private transfer and the driver happily waited for us to check in and then took us round to the villa. However, we had the long walk with the luggage and children for the check out. The pavements in the surrounding areas are not the best either.

I don’t think we’d return to this villa or location because there’s not enough for the children. Plus the check in/out is the worst, they really must change this!!

We had a private transfer with Jet2 and it didn’t arrive for the departure flight. That has nothing to do with the villa, the hotel were great and called us a taxi. Apparently the transfer did arrive but we were at the hotel 30 mins before we were due for collection so I think they must have gone somewhere else instead.

Just ok!

We stayed for two weeks in the set of villas closer to the shops. You have to get the keys from the grand Hotel which wasn't an issue for us but if you have mobility issues dragging cases from there may not be ideal.

The villas are of a good size but very dated and could do with some tlc, as older furniture and broken tiles in the pool. There was only 2 of us so there were plenty of space for us but I don't know if I would want to be there when it's at its maximum capacity.

The villa is in a good location walking distance from the beaches and shops.

If you get a good deal I would recommend but don't pay too much for them as there are better villas in the area 

OK, in need of a refurb

There are 2 sets of Amarillas villas. One near the main road/roundabout on the edge of Cala Santandria and the other close to Cala Santandria on a quiet residential street. They are about a 7-8 minute walk from each other. We were placed near the main road which was further out from the centre of Cala Blanca. To get to the restaurants on a night in the commercial centre it was about a 25 minute walk. The nearest beach is Cala Santandria which is about a 10 minute walk away. This is a lovely clean small beach. Cala Blanca beach is much further away and the quickest route from our villa was along the main road - not ideal with children. The beach at Cala Blanca is very over crowded so we were happier to be closer to Santandria. The villa itself is dated and need modernising - this did not bother us as it was very clean and bedding/towels were changed every 3 days. Our microwave didn’t work but was quickly sorted the same day. Cala Blanca is a very quiet resort. We have been to Menorca a few times as we love how child friendly the resorts are, however there isn’t much for children to do here. There are a couple of small parks and at Cala Blanca beach there is a cafe which has 2 slides (a long walk to get there). I would recommend hiring a car to travel around to other resorts. The bars and restaurants were never more than half full - most often empty. However the food was nice and reasonably priced. Cala n Bosch is an 8 minute car journey away which is much livelier. There is also a bus to Ciutadella that takes 10 minutes. The downside to the villa was that it wasn’t child friendly. There were 2 bedrooms upstairs, 1 down. I didn’t want to leave my 2 children alone downstairs as they are young. However there was no baby gate and there were wide railings on the landing. I was constantly paranoid that my little boy would fall down the stairs. The resort was just too quiet for us and there was too much walking involved to get to places.
