We stayed at the hotel Xuroy in Cala Alcaufar (http://www.thomson.co.uk/destinations/europe/spain/menorca/cala-alcaufar/hotels/hotel-xuroy.html), there isn't much around the hotel but you don't need it, if you want a relaxing holiday where you can get some sun, sea, and sangria, or have the chance to catch up all the books you want to read, it is the ideal place! Cala Alcaufar is so peaceful and as the hotel only has 40 odd rooms, it isn't too busy and 'touristy'.
The staff are amazing, there are about 6 or 7 bar staff, all are really friendly and as the hotel is quite small they remember your room number, the drinks you ordered the night before and if you are lucky may even teach you a little Spainish (my boyfriend taught waiter Andres English as he attempted to teach him Spainish). Happy hour is 6-7, ideal to stock up for the evening, not that its expensive but it never hurts.
The holiday was so relaxing and the surroundings were beautiful, crystal clear, warm sea; sandy, golden sand; a cool, blue pool; and the food was delish! Dinner was a buffet with one seafood, one vegetable and one meat dish; salad and some sides and it was lovely! Most nights it was really difficult not going up again, again and again.
Some people in the hotel have been there 9/13 times and you can see why, the atmosphere was really relaxed and friendly with other guests wishing you good morning or good evening. Another great thing that can't be guaranteed but made the holiday extra special was the World Cup and Spain winning, no one was more happy than one of the bar staff who was praying and nearly crying that they would win, pure holiday gold.
To sum up Menorca was fantastic and I can see why people go again and again. So if you can go go go!!!
