| said: Booked this holiday with first choice on a late deal
very happy with the hotel.
Room was small but adequate no a/con which is really needed The Rooms were cleaned everyday and Towels changed every day One thing you Ladies should take notice of is there is no Hair Dryer in the rooms in the Hotel.
If you have children and you stay round the pool be Warned their is a shortage of sun beds which really needs to be addressed the reps know of the problem but have got nowhere with the Hotel Management.
The Hotel is situated in a ideal position Five Minutes around the corner and you have everything great for kids and big ones.
We stayed half board the food was fine not a lot of choice though but we never came away from the restaurant hungry all in all we had a good holiday.
Yes we would go back.

| said: We have just spent 2 weeks self catering at the Los Delfines hotel and apartments. The apartments are perfectly adequate, clean and fairly spacious. The only issues I would have is with the kitchen area which needs updating. I think the bathrooms must have had an overhaul this year as they looked new. Our apartment was on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool and we had a nice view of the sea over to ciutadella which was a benefit of being on this floor. There are 2 large pools, a childrens pool and a separate jacuzzi pool which are in an attractive area. We found that in May it was never too busy around the pool area and it was a nice area to have a relax whilst being able to watch your children in the pool (there is a very conscientious lifeguard who is always on the lookout too).
We didn't eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food and only took part in a few of the daytime activities (dodgeball, mini-golf, darts, rifle shooting etc) so cannot really comment on this. Our little girl enjoyed the childrens disco at 8.30pm and went a few times but we didn't visit the night time entertainment (hotel entertainment is not our cup of tea), however it did seem very popular so I can only assume that it is good if you are into that type of thing. The entertainment staff were friendly and enthusiastic and were good with the children.
The resort of Cala'n Forcat/Los Delfines is perfect for those with children (and the hotel is a five minute walk from the middle of everything). Although there are more attractive resorts, these probably offer more for those of you with children as there are lots of little fun parks with bouncy castles, trampolines and ball pits etc to keep the little ones happy. We would definitely recommend that you hire a car if possible though as there are some stunning villages and areas to visit around Menorca (Cala'n Bosc, Fornells, Binebecca, Cuitedella, Mahon etc) and it would be a shame to miss them.
Altogether we had an enjoyable holiday and would visit this complex again in the future if we were to return to this area.

| said: We visited this hotel last year and had a fantastic time, so we booked again this year. This time,the rooms were the same, basic but clean, and some improvements had been made to the swimming pools and new computers for the kids had been installed in the complex.
The main problem was the hotel had been taken over by the Hotel Globales Group and when we arrived, the rep told us there was a problem with the water in our 2 bed apt so we would have to stay in a 1 bed apt for the first night and would be moved the next day (pain because its pull out bed and settee for the kids and no unpacking because we are moving).
The next day, the Direct Holidays rep Allison told us the hotel had no 2 bed apts left, even though we had booked and paid a 2 bed supplement for our holiday 8 months before, and we would have to stay where we were for a week.
This was the same for a number of guests at the complex and after a couple of, more than heated, discussions with Allison, she admitted it was a problem they had found before at that hotel and we had been lied to which just annoyed us even more because the problem had not been resolved yet.
The first week was a pain because we were wound up from all the hassle but a week later, we repacked, moved to our 2 bed apt, unpacked again and had a good second week. The hotel was just as good this year as last. The rooms are still in need of updating but not a problem.
The staff, apart from the manager who could not be found on several requests, were friendly and helpful and the entertainment was ok.
The sun loungers are a pain because you have to get up early to stand by the piles of them that are chained up, and once the chains are off, its a free for all because there are nowhere near enough to go around and half of them are broken anyway.
Now we are home, we feel that we only had half a holiday and the compensation we recieved was a joke, £80.00 for all the messing around. Hope everyone else who is going has a better time than us.

| said: Apartments are basic but clean. Bed linen & towels are changed daily. Only problem I had was a bad smell in the bathroom but pouring bleach down the toilet/plugholes helped. Rooms have TV's with sky news.
You can pay to have breakfast/dinner at the hotel.
There are two nice swimming pools & there's also a small children's pool.
There is a small bandstand so you can sit around the pool on an evening. They have 30mins children's disco, then bingo & then a show afterwards. Some shows were quite good.

| said: Our family returned from the Los Delfines on Friday 16th Sept. Our overall impression of the hotel was great however, food on the half board basis was something of a let down chips, and more chips is all I can say. The sweets were repetitive too different coloured jelly, cake and mousse to choose from.
Rooms were very basic furniture needs updating but that wouldn't stop me going again, cleaning was done every day.
Pools were lovely and clean.
Kettle is a must because they don't have any tea making facilities in the rooms.
Hotel is excellently placed with everything on the doorstep and an excellent bus service.
Entertainment staff work very hard and the shows are good so not much need to go off the complex.
Will definitely go back again, loved it .

| said: We stayed in the appartments at los delfines 2 years in a row, they were very clean and spacious but basic. the pools were great!and you couldn't ask for a better location for the appartments, close to the beach and local bars, but not too close to the bars, we still managed to get a good nights sleep.easy access to bus stop as well.
Didn't ever watch the evening entertainment, we went to the bars along the front on a night, but my sister enjoyed the children's disco.
Staff were friendly!

| said: We were there first 2 weeks in August. The apartment we were allocated was a 2 bedroom one stuck right in a corner Block C.
Apartment ok apart from the rust inside the microwave wich got the odd spark/never tried the hotel food so cant comment on that....the hotel is sited in a good location not far from all amenities..hotel staff were very helpful when needed apart from the little barman who never smiled. As for the entertainment it was very poor.
Been to this hotel 3 years in a row and have got to say it is going downhill. Yes I would visit the resort again but not Los Delfines apartments.

| said: Nice Hotel although rooms are a bit small, very good location, water park opposite was excellent.
Only problem was the entertainment The Disco which was outdoor consisted of Agadoo, Celine Dion and awful Euro-pop. And no chance on an early night as it booms on till midnight every night, so if you have young kids don't get a pool side room as it`ll be late nights and Butlins type entertainment every night.
Hotels pool was excellent and apart from the odd Chav family a nice way to chill out, all in all a great holiday with plenty to do.
I wouldn't go half board again though as the food is rather samey.
They could do with having a proper Disco room, and updating the entertainment, but some of the Brits there loved it, so Something for everyone, except me !

| said: The Los Delfines is a Hotel/Apartment. We stayed within one of their apartment blocks. The complex itself is very good, with entertainment/activities during the day and on every night.
You get maid service every day except Sunday. Also the day we left they were putting in new TVs to every apartment. We had no complaints with it except that the rooms do need a little updating, new furniture etc. But that is our only complaint. Oh and when you go say hi to Elaine & Patricia the entertainers...They were excellent and work very long hours!!! (Just mention our names and they will get you a free drink...Ian & Elaine).
Across the road from the Los Delfines is a water park. It is not a large park - we did not venture in it so cannot comment, but I wasnt impressed looking out in. One tip I will give - If you are on a self catering basis the Los Delfines do a deal where you get Breakfast and Evening Meal for 10 Euros a day per adult and Kids 5 Euros. We didnt find this out till our last 3 days. It was well worth the money and had only wished we had known about it earlier. Ok well I think thats it.
Oh and we are returning in October...

| said: This is a hotel / apartment complex and we stayed in one of the apartments.
The complex was brilliant, with a georgeous pool and garden area. There were lots of activities during the day, and every evening there were shows and events, the kids loved the steps lookalike act!
The complex had a supermarket round the corner and was a few minutes stroll from all the bars etc.
The food was good and there was no noise from other discos and bars.
What more can I say, a fantastic place to stay, very clean and very friendly staff.
