Seth Port Mahón

Exceptional Staff: The staff are consistently praised for being warm, friendly, attentive, and professional across all departments, including reception, housekeeping, and the restaurant. Many guests noted that the team goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay.

I loved this hotel; perfect location, literally overlooking the harbour. Down a few steps to walk along the front, yacht-watching, restaurants and bars. Bedroom was excellent, exceptionally comfortable bed, powerful shower and all the usual amenities provided. Staff were amazing, from reception to restaurant/bar and housekeeping - all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet included lots of choices to suit all tastes; egg dishes cooked to order. At dinner, in addition to a variety of dishes, there was a selection of fresh meat and fish griddled to order. I had the sweetest, juiciest king prawns of my life.

This was our 2nd visit to Hotel Port Mahon & another really enjoyable one. We rebooked mainly because it’s such an easy place to stay with very little schlepping about, unlike some of the bigger hotels that take an age to get from one end to the other. This is just a great place for recharging your batteries as although it’s so near Mahon, it’s a really quiet & tranquil place. Absolutely gorgeous views from the terrace & pool, great to slip down to the Port if you want something a bit livelier & easy to get into Mahon. As we have friends living on the island we’ve been lucky enough to have been taken all over & the location of this hotel really is hard to beat! Mahon centre is lovely & walkable for most and with the lifts at either end of the harbour, it makes it more accessible for people with more limited mobility. Although, not particularly flashy, this place is quietly comfortable, with lovely staff and a restful ambience. Sunbeds are easy to come by, the pool scene is so restful and quiet and overall the food is pretty good. We actually had the pool to ourselves on several occasions! On both our visits we’ve found the rooms to be really pleasant, with good storage, a useful mini fridge, tea & coffee and comfy beds! The cleaning staff really are outstanding and kept our room immaculate! I can’t deny that having paid extra for a ‘superior with balcony’ we were a little disappointed to be facing inwards over the garden with a very small balcony, especially as last year we were just in a ‘twin with balcony’ but had a seaward view across the garden. However, I don’t think this is particularly the hotel’s fault, but more dependent on which travel company you book with - sea view rooms seem to be hard to come by (unless you can afford a suite!) but if you can get one, the view is spectacular (I had a little, longing peek when they were being cleaned!) All the staff here are lovely, but special mention to the charming Diego, who remembered us from last year and always looked after us. Just a delightful stay which flew by far too quickly! I’m sure we will return - hopefully we might manage a sea view next time!
