Zafiro Menorca

We have just come back from a week away at Zafiro Menorca in Easter Half Term via Jet2 & I honestly cannot fault this place. From the staff who always have a smile on their face to the cleanliness of the resort and the variety of entertainment for the kids, this has to be one of the best all-round holidays I have been on in a very long time and I have stayed in some of the best hotel chains in Europe. Absolute credit to the Zafiro family/owners. I can only see this getting better! I had contacted the hotel before arriving to ask about the facilities as it had been advertised as only opening on 26th April on Jet2 initially, but Jet2 then updated their website after I got in touch. I was worried nothing would be open! I also asked for a cot which was in the room on arrival. Everything was as expected. I’d say that this hotel ranked 4* no less no more. If it wanted to reach out to a 4* superior then it would need to have a bit of a refresh in terms of paint and rooms updated. Weather-wise we had 2 days of rain at the beginning and then the rest (4-5 days) were sunny with a few clouds here and there. Expected as per the weather apps and the time of year. We booked a one-bedroom pool view suite (room 3015). This was outside the bubble pool/pool bar on the ground level. The hotel is split into blocks with numbers 1-5 being the prefix for your hotel room number. The rooms are definitely the biggest and best layout I’ve come across anywhere. The bed was enormous and very comfortable. You walk in and there is a double wardrobe straight away. Toilet and shower room off the corridor, followed by a living room and a kitchen, double sliding doors separate the master bedroom which has another double wardrobe and a sliding outer door for some fresh air, and there is a balcony with a table and 3 chairs. We had very minor issues which were immediately rectified - a bulb out in the wardrobe and the safe was still closed so they sent maintenance down straight away. I also had to chase up them missing us off the cleaning rota but this was rectified immediately. Again, if you are not happy with something tell them as they do help and they never have an issue with criticism. I think to improve this particular room, the tree outside was an issue as we had leaves every day on the balcony which I had to sweep up 2-3 times and it did become a bit annoying after a few days but it was only minor. This happens because the roof above the balconies on all rooms is open in areas. This didnt help on rainy days with trying to dry clothing. We stayed on an AI basis. The variety of food was excellent, we never had any issue finding something to eat, from breakfast to evening meal. Steaks, chicken breast, chinese night, kids buffet, amazing desserts. Best place to eat for lunch is the pool bar, I have to recommend the chicken bao (x2) and chicken quesadillas (x2). My fiancee and I shared this for lunch as we found it was a nice enough portion size. Special thanks to Maria (who n

This hotel exceeded expectations in every way! We went as a family of 5. Two Grandparents, and Mother (our daughter) and two children. (Boys aged 12 and 4.) I was nervous about booking "All Inclusive" but have to say the "plus" bit made all the difference. The Buffet restaurant superb! The quality and choice of food at all times was exceptional. (In fact I would say this was the best food I have tasted served in this buffet format!) Wine was available from bottles (self serve) and cold beer on tap. Chefs were on hand at all times to cook to order. (Recommend the omelettes at breakfast and the burgers at lunchtime!) Rooms were big, comfortable and clean. Our boys found lots to do. The Mini Club is great, the older boy soon found friends and spent most of his time in the pool. (Daily organized water polo, volley ball etc.) The evening entertainment is great for families. (Izzy, of course, for the kids.) Finally the staff are fantastic! Great with the children. Reception staff exceptional. A short walk (20 mins) will take you to a beach and Marina with shops and restaurants and there are two big supermarkets just outside the hotel. Thanks you to Zafiro for making this a great holiday, full of happy memories.

A great family break, relaxing from start to finish, excellent location to visit the port, the hotel food was easily the best I’ve had in a Spanish all inclusive. The hotel team were brilliant, keeping the hotel clean and great with the kids.. We will be back next year.
