Reviews for Cala Bona y Mar Blava
Review 1：The location was so convenient for Citadella and also for an early morning swimm before breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The view from the breakfast balcony was lovely as it looks out over the water. Our room was comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Value for money was brilliant, we will definitely return.
Review 2：Lack of air con could be problem in hottest months.
Review 3：Great location if you like being by the water. Small pool. Enjoyed snorkelling off the rocks (direct access from hotel). Although no seaview from my room (Room 15, Cala Bona),enjoyed the sunny terrace. Also great water view from terrace by breakfast room. Ample breakfast. Fridge in room added bonus.
Review 4：Could not fault this hotel. No hotel is perfect but this is as good as it gets for a hotel of this standard.
Review 5：Fantastic staff. Great location. Excellent value for money.
Review 6：The door and window let in water so during a storm our room was flooded. All of our shoes and some clothes in a bag were soaked. Then the electric went off! Caretaker came at 11.30pm with towels and left us a mop and bucket. Obviously we don't blame the owners for the storm or the powercut but they could have apologised for the inconvenience. You do tend to assume that hotel rooms have doors that work!
Review 7：Our balcony overlooked a beautiful inlet. Peaceful spot yet easy walk to town. Good sized room with comfortable bed and plenty of storage space. Wifi good. Good buffet breakfast and delightful views from breakfast terrace. For the first 4 days of our stay staff were great but.........
Review 8：Breakfast was uninspiring but could not expect more for the price.
Review 9：Great position with street parking outside, and an easy walk into Ciutadella. Beautiful view from the terrace and swimming in the sea inlet from just below the terrace. Basic but clean and comfortable. Excellent value.
Review 10：Excellent but basic hotel that provides good facilities and value for money. Great location with a small pool area and access to the rocks below which is excellent for swimming. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Wide and eclectic range of guests which made for an enjoyable stay.
Review 11：A perfect little gem of a hotel - charming staff, very clean, comfortable rooms, easy short walk into lovely old town of Ciutadella. The position by the water is just stunning for swimming, sunsets and the sound of the sea as you go to sleep. We hope to stay there again as it was peaceful & perfect.
Review 12：The two men who ran the Hostel were VERY helpful and kind. They run a top notch establishment. It was clean, friendly, the food was great, the view amazing, and the little private rock/beach perfect! I didn't have my kid with me on this particular trip, but if she were i would have felt very comfortable having her there.
Review 13：They should change the towels cause they are very old. They could provide some eggs for breakfast for celiacs hehehe.
Review 14：The staff were very friendly and gave us tips about restaurants, how to get to the city and to the best beaches. The rooms have the most amazing view to Cala des Degollador! Very close to the city (15min walk or less) and in front a very nice Cala! (beach). Amazing Sunset!!!
Review 15：10 minute walk to center of Ciutadella, swim off the rocks in front of hotel, 4 minute walk to beach, small and friendly hotel ideal for a short break. would definately go back
Review 16：my partner and i, spent 11 days at cala bona. the 2 brothers were very helpfull and nothing was to much trouble for them, rooms clean and tidy.we would recomend this hotel to anybody,great views great people fantastic weather.
Review 17：Shower cubile abit on the small side. Had a few issues getting through the door of it as i am pregnant. But other than that everything was great.
Review 18：Everything about the hotel.
Review 19：We've visited so many places but this is just my 2nd time to write a review. The location is very central and the staffs are lovely & friendly & it is the best value for money. The owner Antonio is so friendly as well as his lovely twin sons Frank & Tony who manage the hotel. Joseph their friend who works there is so nice too so we've invited him to visit us back in IOM with lovely girlfriend. The very friendly twins are welcome too anytime. We usually stay in at least 4* so we were reluctant at first but glad we did choose this hotel because the experience was just great.The owner Antonio who used to work at Savoy just knows how to make his guest feel at home.
Review 20：Our room was a bit dated, but then again how much time you spent in the room while in Menorca?!
Review 21：The Hotel is staff was super helpful, giving us advice on beaches/calas to visit. There is also a terrace for drinks and breakfast overlooking the sea, with an access for its clients to jump in the water!. We think the hotel is has very good value for money. The room are spacious and the breakfast was correct. Location is good and management is awesome
Review 22：Lack of air conditioning may be a problem in the hotter months.
Review 23：Great location overlooking a rocky inlet offering direct access from the hotel terrace for swimming. Easy 15 minute walk into the Old Town. Good breakfast & friendly staff.
Review 24：evil mosqitoes in the evening outside :)
Review 25：Perfect location, direct beach access, nice views, compfortable clean room, breakfast included, nice and friendly staff (english speaking!!!), bar.
Review 26：The value for money of this hotel can't be matched by any other establishment on the island. 10 minutes walk to the city center and 2 minutes to a small beach in front of the hotel. The staff made the holidays even better, being helpful and nice to us.
Review 27：The building is quite old. That does not matter but for example the doors could use a renewal.
Review 28：Excellent location, on a pretty sea-arm and with splendid views. Good breakfast which tastes even better if you sit next on the pretty terrace next to the water. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Very good for it's price.
Review 29：Only a small hotel but wonderfully friendly staff who welcomed us personally even before we arrived and gave us a beer when we arrived late at night off the bus. The owners were very generous in giving us information and guidance on where to go on our first visit to Menorca. The breakfasts were scrumptious and could be taken on a balcony overlooking the Creek on which the hotel stands, an excellent starting point for adventures and for relaxing afterwards. The room we had was very comfortable and spacious and had a fridge, hairdryer and shower but no bath, not a problem for us. There was also no aircon but a very quiet fan kept us cool. We know where to stay next time we go Menorca.
Review 30：The bathroom could be renovated a little bit, but this is a minor thing.
Review 31：The view from the window over the turquoise Cala, the most complete breakfast variety I ever had in Europe in a hotel, friendly staff, quiet location. This place is simply awesome and it is extremely good-value.
Review 32：Absolutly nothing to complain about.
Review 33：We really recomend this place! The staff is very friendly, helpfull and even offered us a ride to the ferry when we left. The breakfast is only 3€ and amazing! Our dog was welcome on the terrace of the restaurant as well. We didn't use the small swimming pool but it looked nice.
Review 34：Nothing - everything was amazing. Only regret we didn't stay longer! One tip would be to hire a car or scooter so you can see all the coves on your own, but the staff will help you with this :)
Review 35：The staff (two brothers) were particularly helpful recommending places to eat and helped us book a boat trip last minute. We were even upgraded to a sea view room. Cannot speak highly enough of this place!
Review 36：The only thing which woukd have made my stay any better woukd be asjustable shower heads!!!
Review 37：The two brothers who run the hotel were amazing...friendly and super helpful. Definitely woukd return here.
Review 38：Perhaps provide a second wifi for the top floor. But in comparison to all the positives this is minimal.
Review 39：It's a beautiful location, comfortable and charming. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, just sitting on the balcony looking over the crystal clear water makes it even better! The area is quiet and safe, but also close to the town centre. All round is was a very relaxed get-away.
Review 40：Very small bathroom, shower instead of being directed to the wall is directed to the bathroom, which makes it difficult not to flood it. Room full of ants.
Review 41：Excellent location, super friendly and helpful staff, confortable bed
Review 42：No negatives at all.
Review 43：I loved everything about this place. The location was perfect with an incredible waterfront setting where you can dive into the water of the cove just off the breakfast room. The staff were welcoming, friendly and always happy to make recommendations and provide assistance. This place is something unique...in the best possible way.
Review 44：- nothing
Review 45：- the fantastic quiet location with the swimming place in front of the hotel and only walking distance to the city centre - the friendly and helpful owners providing an excellent service - the relaxing atmosphere and the good breakfast
Review 46：There was nothing not to like!
Review 47：The beautiful setting looking over the coastline. The fact you could gain direct access to the sea for swimming from the hotel terrace. Although the hotel did not do food in the evening, they organised a take away pizza for us and we ate it from the bar terrace as the sun went down. Very beautiful setting, traditional hotel with old fashioned charm.
Review 48：As mentioned by many guests, the staff is amazing and so helpful. The hotel is quirky but with great character. It is situated on an beautiful inlet south of Ciutadella and having breakfast or a drink overlooking this is great. The rooms are a little dated but there is a silent fridge and towels are changed daily. All in all a brilliant hotel!
Review 49：Nothing really, for the price you can´t beat it!!
Review 50：This hotel is AMAZING value for money if you are looking for a simple hotel. It is located on a "cala", just gorgeous, blue-green waters, boats in the distance and sunset in the evening. About 20 min. walk from the center of Ciutadella, and you can walk there along the coastline. The room, for the price, is well-equipped, has a fridge, ceiling fan, bathroom in the room, and I had a view. There are two hotels next to each other, Cala Bona and Mar Blava, forming one hotel. Staff was very kind and attentive. They even do a buffet breakfast, with bread and croissants, cereal, juice and coffee. I thought it was incredible value for money and quite nice for a 2-star establishment.
Review 51：Old fashioned shower(fixed shower head) Poor seats at pool area, not comfortable for "old bones". No curtain lining to prevent sun streaming into the room as a result I found my room very warm despite the fact that there was a ceiling fan. Could not fault the breakfast and the staff were fine if a little too laid back about dust gathering both in my room and at the bookcase area.
Review 52：Views from terrace and the good location. Felt safe when out walking. I very much liked the fact that I could take a different route to the city each time I was out walking. Also supermarkets close by. All in all excellent for the younger generation who were fit to clamber over the rocks for a swim. In general the quiet was lovely. Needs a bit of TLC though.
Review 53：The shower could have been better, the stall is quite small and there's no handheld – but that's really a minor con.
Review 54：The hotel is situated in a nice place with beautiful views to the see and on few minuts walking to the center of Ciutadella. Very nice breakfast which you can enjoy outside on the terrace. Incredibly friendly and nice staff and possibly the best gin with lemonade of the island.
Review 55：Waking up in a paradisiac island and having the breakfast watching the quiet waters of the mediterranean: priceless! The room was ok, it had all the comfort we need.
Review 56：Rooms are very old, bathrooms are small and breakfast is very basic (bread is the only fresh item)
Review 57：I loved the view and the staff kindness! It's excellent value for money
Review 58：We were in the annex but booked the last room only 2weeks before our trip. Our room ( room 8 ) had a balcony which overlooked the maintenance area but that was our only complaint .
Review 59：We loved the location and the helpfulness and friendless of the staff. It was wonderful to have a very substantial breakfast on the terrace overlooking the water. Only 10 mins walk into the old town and the harbour. Staff gave us excellent places to eat .
Review 60：Our bathroom was a bit old and could use a renovation.
Review 61：The stafff of the hotel was amazingly nice and they really made the difference for our holidays! Thanks to their advices we saw the most beautiful places on the island and had the best food possible. The location of the hotel was perfect for us. Downtown Ciutadella was less than ten minutes away on foot, yet the location was very calm. The hotel even has its small private rocky beach and you can jump into the fresh water whenever you want.
Review 62：Nothing.

Review 103：Better than expected for a 2 star hotel so no negative comments!
Review 104：Excellent location for swimming in the sea and convenience for walking to the Old Town. Good breakfast buffet served on terrace overlooking scenic waterway. Most helpful staff and spotlessly clean room. Highly recommended.
Review 105：The room could be cleaned more thoroughly.
Review 106：Greatly enjoyed 5 nights B&B in this hotel. It's great value for money, well run by the very helpful brothers Frank and Tony. We had room 10, with a balcony overlooking the inlet. The room was simple and a little tired, but comfortable enough, with a large bathroom. Eating breakfast (good buffet choice) out on the terrace overlooking the inlet was perfect - as were the cold beers in the afternoon when we returned from long walks. The hotel is right on the route of the Coastal Path - turn right out of the door to walk south to Cala en Bosc (8 miles) - where you can catch a bus back to Ciutadella. The bus stop is around the corner. 10 minutes walk from the hotel to the centre of town, where there's a great choice of restaurants. All in all, a great break in a great location - I'm sure we will return.
Review 107：The shower cubicle was a bit small. The décor could do with a revamp.
Review 108：Staff were brilliant, so helpful, they answered our questions with a smile and gave very good advice on places to eat and generally made us feel comfortable, just what we needed! Such a quiet restful hotel.
Review 109：Leaving ;)
Review 110：Everything! It's the second time we stayed (the first time we've ever gone back to a hotel) and it was just as pleasant as the first visit. What sold it for us was its being built into the cliff - 30 seconds from reception and you can be swimming in the sea. You can also eat your breakfast overlooking the sea. The hotel isn't luxurious but it's clean, bright and airy with friendly staff. The beach immediately along from the hotel isn't the nicest in Menorca but there are plenty nearby. It's about 15 minutes to walk into the town.
Review 111：Bathroom quite small, and shower hard to move in, but ok. A little bit of a walk from the centre, but doable. Breakfast OK, but don't expect anything spectacular.
Review 112：The breakfast terrace overlooks a beautiful little cove - total tranquility! Easy parking on the street outside. Comfortable beds. Fridge and TV.
Review 113：Shower cabin a bit small but this was not a problem.
Review 114：Everything. Staff very helpful and friendly. Gave valuable information of places to visit. Buffet breakfast excellent and with all elements regularly restocked so there was never a moment when anything ran out. The value for money was excellent.. I strongly recommend this hotel .
Review 115：Had an amazing stay in this hotel. Got a room with fabulous sea view! Both of the owners were really helpful and kind! They make the best Pomada which I ever tried! :-) Room was clean and the placement of the hotel is really nice-10´to center and 5´to the port (walk). Definitely will be back!
Review 116：Pool is small, but adequate, but property has easy access to the beautiful cove, where you can swim, though water a little chilly this time of year
Review 117：Liked location, quiet,but short lovely walk to town center. Staff very friendly and accomdating. Serve an incredible buffett breakfast! Fabulous view!!!
Review 118：I stayed in Room 16. The position of the loo is extremely tight. I am 6 foot & 19 stone, anyone bigger wiill have extreme difficulty in using it.
Review 119：The Location of the Hotel is great. A short walk from the wonderful old town centre. The rooms are spacious & have a lovely view .Staff are helpful & Breakfast was more than ample.
Review 120：Poor Wi-Fi signal in the room. But not a big deal.
Review 121：Great location with private access to the sea. Clean room, with everything we needed. Very kind personnel.
Review 122：The smell in the toilet, but this is a problem throughout the island
Review 123：The location is simply extraordinary and the owner was very friendly, cooperative and professional
Review 124：Our room was on the back side with sea side, there is a terraceunderneath the window.. This can be very noisy at night! Wecouldn't sleep 2 out of 4 nights. Luckily the staff asked thosepeople to be quiet.The hotel offers scooter and car rentel. DON'T USE THIS SERVICE! If you rent from a company downtown, you pay 50% less. Pretty crazy to ask you guests double the price as the normal Menorcan rental price. The hotel has a basic breakfast with view. But they reserved 50% of the tables outside, for the hotelrooms behind! So you need to fight for a table outside. And this looks really stupid: half of the tables is unused.. because those guests don't even use their private tables.
Review 125：The staff of this hotel is very friendly, they are very helpfull. Theview of this hotel is amazing. Its a 5 minuten walk tot the bus stationand 10 minute walk to city centre. The sea is right in front of thehotel, there is a little stair.
