The Playa Santandria Hotel is a medium sized, recently renovated, three-star hotel that feels like…read morea five star hotel. It's not by any means a luxury resort, but the service provided by the hotel personnel is top notch. Clean rooms, a varied breakfast buffet, a decent pool area and the nicest beach of the Menorcan west coast is right outside the hotel door. The beach actually draws quite a few locals as well, but it still doesn't get too crowded. The restaurant on the ground floor with its patio towards the beach is open to everyone and offers remarkably good meals at sensible prices. Everything from sandwiches to main dishes and drinks is masterfully crafted, and the relaxed atmosphere makes your stay even more enjoyable. After trying out a handful of restaurants from Cala en Bosc to Ciutadella, we still ended up at the hotel restaurant most of the evenings - it simply stood out as the best of the bunch. The dedicated staff of the hotel work from early morning to early night to make your stay memorable and delightful, and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! P.S. Photos from Google Street View are VERY outdated. The entire hotel has been renovated inside out!

I went here for a few days with some friends on a trip to Spain and had an amazing adventure. The grounds are beautiful with so much to see that you truly do not need to leave the property. We came here after a weekend of partying in Ibiza for some much needed R&R. The dining experiences are absolutely 5 stars. The thai food that we ate was incredible and their Spanish style tapas restaurant is amazing. The rooms have gigantic bathrooms and balconies for days. I'm giving it four stars, but only because of it's location. If you want to see more of Palma and get a cultural experience, I would not stay here as it is quite far away from the center of Mallorca. If you want some relaxation and more of a resort feel, I recommend staying here.

Great destination hotel. Very impressive facilities. Modern rooms with top amenities and great…read moreservice overall. The hotel is 1/2 mile away from the beach, has a spa on-site and a small pool. The internet is free. It is a good hotel but at times the room service is lacking and not crazy about the bathroom which is a combined tub and shower which can be a bit messy. The view from the balconies is fantastic. Great place for a non-beach vacation with high-end expectations

After we had decided on Menorca, we wanted to stay where the best beaches are. It came down to…read moreCala'n Porter and Cala Galdana. Sa Barrera was very highly rated on Trip Advisor, so we decided to give it a shot. It's a wonderful boutique hotel in the sleepy village of Cala'n Porter, an easy 20 minute drive from the airport. The overall vibe was super mellow and peaceful. Perfect for couples (like us) looking to decompress from the big city. The room was a bit small, but very clean with a small balcony for two. I don't believe that there was an elevator. We seriously may have had the best room, in the top left in the photos on their website. Excellent view of the sea, but not the actual beach. The breakfast buffet was very, very nice. We sat out by the pool. Definitely loved the tortilla espanola. They will also make espresso-based coffee drinks to order, Americano in my case. Trip to the beach was either a long walk around the "front" entrance or about 150+ steps down from the hotel. We stayed for two nights. My only nitpick is the parking. There are only about six spaces on the side street where the main entrance is. If you get a spot, keep it. Street parking wasn't too bad even in peak season. Best restaurant close by was Lorengo.
