Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: Small pool area
...This is a nice, comfortable 4 star hotel. It is very centrally located in the resort of Cala Galdana so if you like to people watch then get a sea view room and watch the world go by. In fact only get a seaview room because the rooms at the rear of the hotel are overlooked by a steep rock strewn cliff which casts a shadow all day.
The resort is set in a beautiful cove with a wide cresent-shaped beach. The water as a consequence is very warm and calm. The cove is flanked on each side by cliffs that can be climbed quite easily to get a great view of the resort below. If you carry on in either direction a 40 minute walk will get you to the next coves along this southern coast of the island.
The resort is quite small, has plenty of restaurants for all tastes and a very low-key night life. In fact the most popular evening entertainment...
Advantages: MENORCA A LOVELY PLACE TO VISIT Disadvantages: HOTEL A LITTLE DISSAPOINTING
...Having viewed this site prior to booking our holiday I decided that there's only one way really to find out, and that's to go!! Everyone's tastes and standards are different so read reviews but ultimately what is fantastic for one family may be a disappointment for another.
Hotel;
Very clean however VERY basic bedrooms, ours had a prison type metal bunk bed at the foot of two singles put together, reminisant from a scene of Porridge!!!!
The whole hotel has either tiled or marble floors which was VERY noisy,even a fairy in slippers would have sounded like a herd of buffalo stampeding across the Sarangeti !! Had the rooms had carpets then this would of deadened some of the noise. Unfortunately our room was next to the stairwell so we heard all and sundry coming and going, and to add insult we overlooked the tarmac carpark rather...
Advantages: Great spot in a great resort Disadvantages: Food not great, bar service terrible
...For the last few years our family stayed at the hotel Gavilanes in Cala Galdana, Menorca. However The prices were getting high and we decided to try another 4 star hotel in the area.
The Hotel Audax is right opposite the beautiful beach, across a small road. It has 244 rooms over 7 floors with 4 lifts. From the outside it looks lika a typical spanish 4 star hotel. However inside the reception is bright and cheerful with local art pieces dotted about. The first problem I had was at check in at the reception. I had booked two twin rooms on the same floor, but was told that the rooms were three floors apart and one was a double. They did try and make amends and said that they could move us the next day, but as we were only there for a week we decided to stay put.
The rooms: Unusually for spanish hotels the corridors to the rooms...
