Advantages: great holiday destination

Disadvantages: none

Lasr september we stayed in the resort Punto prima in menorca, this is on the south east coast of the island and is a nice small quiet place that isnt too overly populated with tourists.

It took us just 15 minutes to drive there from the airport which was one of the reasons i chose this place as after being on a flight for a few hours with two young children the last thing i wanted was to be stuck on a coach for ages.

As this is a newly developed resort it still has a lot of its natural beauty and open spaces, it has a good selection of bars and resturants along the sea front and all are family friendly.

There are two very good supermarkets that stocked everything we could possibly need as we were self catering and had a money exchange facility in each.

There are a few nice little gift shops on the sea front that sell suvineers.

The beach is beautiful, it is white sand and is very flat apart fron on the one end where there are lots of rocks, they provide sun beds and have lots of water sports, the sea does have restricted areas because of strong currents but as long as you keep a good eye on the children there are safe places to play in the water

There is accomodation for every price range, they have hostels for the cheaper stay right upto 5 star luxury hotels. we stayed at the Playa apartments which have 33 apartments on one site, a nice big pool for the adults and a small pool for the children, a club, hair dresers, money exchange and a childrens games room and out door adventure area. The apartment are clean and spacious with air conditioning, we payed £400 for the 4 of us for a week self catering so are pritty good on price aswell.

There is a lovely little sweet shop in the resort called can dulce where my children used to drive me mad to go, they have lot of traditional sweets from menorca aswell as all the other usual sweets.

Thiere is a good bus service so that you can travel to other places and a few trips available although we never did as a week in the resort was ok without running out of things to do.

menorca is a beautiful place that has a lot of its old features and beauties still intact and hasnt been ruined by tourists yet, the place isnt too overly populated so you will be able to enjoy your holiday.

Summary: a good holiday destination
