Apartamentos Blancala

100% giving this 5 stars, and 100% coming back. 4 days into a weeks stay, and absolutely delighted with the apartment & location. But, full disclosure, we are self-catering and haven't used the bar or restaurant. So, can't include them in my thoughts. We arrived on Tuesday. 2 bed apartment for a family of 5. Very clean & well kitted out for our needs. Only thing I would've liked would be plastic cups & plates as we had young children with us, so this would've been nice to have. Although I did get a couple of plastic beakers for free from the bar. Great room with a large living area, and we were very fortunate to have a large balcony overlooking the pool. Fantastic view overlooking the sea too! Loads of towels, more than enough for our needs, and plenty of bedding too, all lovely & clean. Towels were also very soft, which was nice. Bedrooms were a good size with a king size bed, two singles and a sofa bed for our eldest. Plenty of space for a weeks clothes and kit for a family of 5, and a digital safe that was simple to reprogramme with our own pin number to keep the valuables safe. No iron in the room, but one available at reception if required. I have seen reviews stating that there is no WiFi in the rooms, but we all had decent connections in our room and out by the pool. We did have an issue with the kettle tripping the electric, but it was immediately replaced. The location is amazing too. Literally less then 50' from the sea. There is a footpath you can access to wander along the cliffs if you like that kind of thing. We do, so we did. 5 minute walk to half a dozen decent restaurants, and a shop less than a minute away. Tbh, I didn't find it particularly expensive considering the location and lack of competition in the local area. Had plenty of stock, and all the things you'd expect from a seaside shop catering for families. We had rented a car from Autos Menorca, so we did a food shop at the Lidl in Ciutadella, which was only a 15 minute drive. Lots of reviews have said the the Apartments are on a steep hill away from the beach. I would contest this. Although one of the routes takes you up/down a steep hill, you are only walking up/down it for around 100yds. So, unless you have mobility issues, then this won't be a problem. I had a 5 year old with me and it was no more than a 10 minute stroll to the nearest beach. But, be aware that the beach has no facilities whatsoever, so you need to take anything you might want with you. That said, it's a lovely little beach with a slow gradient making it ideal for young children. There was also a beachside bar that appeared to be in the process of refurbishment when we were there in Apri 25. I'd imagine it would be open in time for the summer. Just a word of caution. I saw some youngsters cliff diving into the cove, so thought I'd go there for a morning swim, having grown up around The Gower Peninsula and being a confident swimmer that used to go Tombstoning around the Mumbles in my youth

Stunning sea and pool views from our balcony so peaceful listening to the waves hitting the rocks ,apartment very spacious with microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, kettle , big bedroom with a large queen size bed,very comfortable, never heard any noise from the other apartment's, very clean pool area with plenty of sunbeds and seating areas,big restaurant although we only used for coffee's and croissants in the morning, lovely friendly staff, bus stop couple minute's walk up the road and a shop next door but one .Only negative thing I would say is that our bed wasn't changed once in the week we were there and clean towels were only given on our 2nd day there. but we would definitely stay again

On day two we were confronted with live cockroaches killed and deposed of day three two more in the kitchen cupboards crawling around went to main reception they offered us two options to move to another apartment or for them to clean and spray entire apartment we chose this option as it was an adapted room as I’m disabled and we were offered another adapted room all was ok for a day and then they came back we were constantly on guard. Other problems. No disabled parking onsite so street parking only if you can find one it’s a one way system so you may find yourself going back around until you get a space. The room didn’t have a kettle so had to use a saucepan to boil water room are basic no air conditioning but two big ceiling fans one in lounge one in bedroom. Aldo the pool wax covered in dead bugs and insects we reported when returned to uk but blancala saying this is not true so beware

Just on our last day here. What a super little hotel much more than a 2 star. Spotlessly clean, staff are friendly and polite nothing is to much trouble. Rooms nice size and contain all that you need. Bars and restaurants a short walk away. Hotel bar and restaurant are very good, would def come back.

Cala blanca is by far our favourite resort in Menorca, and the Blancala Apartments is now our favourite place to stay. Probably the most well-mannered receptionist and hotel staff we've experienced in the world, including Hyatt Group, Sheraton and Hilton resorts.... We literally felt so relaxed and at home during our extremely restful stay at the end of this summer. The apartments are spotless and spacious.... no there isn't in room wifi or air con, but it's priced competitively to reflect this, and OMG the location is insane, the view we had! We stayed top floor of block B(223) overlooking the cove, and cuitedella. Can't wait to book for next year, and enjoy some of that amazing looking Paella.
