Xaloc Playa Hotel Reviews
" good, but could do better "
Submitted By: peter.muscroft
Everything good that has been said in other reviews is true, the hotel is very nice, clean with friendly staff. But there are two items which appear on the description of the hotel that are not true.
1. There are no lifts.
2. There is no money exchange ( this has to be done at the local supermarket )
Apart from these I would recommend this hotel to anyone with children. The beach is within 50 M of the hotel and, apart from some nuisance seaweed, is a very nice beach.
The food in the hotel is very well cooked and served and consists of good 'basic' cooking, and is very nice.

" Highly Recommended! "
Submitted By: Kompess
Myself and my partner Phil went here for the 1st time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hotel was very clean, fresh towels everyday, food excellent, staff friendly and only a stone throw from the beach.
Met some lovely people from all over.
We hired a car for few days and explored the island and found some amazing beaches, went to the zoo and to different towns/cities on the island. We also went on the Catamaran in Mahon and got a commentated tour around the bay.
Only downsides of holiday were not enough entertainment and no air con in rooms.
Thanks for fantastic holiday!

" Great relaxing holiday "
Submitted By: hailhail
We stayed at the Xaloc hotel on the recommendation of the reviews on this site and we weren't dissapointed.
It was quiet and relaxing ,we could always get a lounger at the pool no matter what time we went down which is a rare thing on holiday.Spent most days at the beach which is really clean and not too busy.The food in the the hotel was great and there was good. The local restaurants were great too, lots of nice fish!.
The bus to mahon only takes 25 mins and is worth going if you get itchy feet, we also walked to cala d'Alcaufar and S'Algar.
If you want a quiet relaxing holiday this is for you there are no clubs or noisy bars in the resort so if that's what your after I'd give it a miss.

" My 13yr old daughter and I had a... "
Submitted By: Mrs A Phillips
My 13yr old daughter and I had a fantastic holiday at the Xaloc Playa Hotel in July and will definately be going again. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the staff were super and the food was excellent. We couldn't fault it at all. Our bedroom was on the first floor overlooking the gardens and all we could hear were the birds singing.The beach is only a 30 second walk away and is beautiful - I've never seen such white sand and clear blue water anywhere else in Europe.
We thought Punta Prima was lovely; quiet and not touristy at all, in fact it felt very Spanish. The bus to Mahon left hourly from right next to the hotel, and from Mahon you can get all over the island very easily. We loved Mahon; do go on the boat trip around the harbour, it's the second largest natural one in the world. The road train from Punta Prima to Binibeca was great too. You can get off the train at Binibeca beach and catch it back again later.
Our First Choice rep, Helen, was was really friendly and very helpful. We went on one island trip as we didn't hire a car and had a super day.
If its the nightlife you want then this is probably not the place for you but it certainly ticked all the right boxes for us - quiet and relaxing. See you next year Xaloc Playa.

" This was my first holiday abroad and... "
Submitted By: Mrs T Garraway
This was my first holiday abroad and was extremely nervous.
We were greeted at Mahon airport by a very friendly rep who showed us to our transfer coach and gave us a guided tour to our hotel.
On arrival at our hotel we were met by a very friendly receptionist named Sandy. We could not get to our apartment straight away but were told to use the pool and other facilities. After 30 mins we were told what apartment we would be in. The apartment was fab, clean towels and bedding were brought in every day by the friendly cleaners.
We had this holiday as an early honeymoon and enjoyed it so much we have already booked to return next year. I would give this out of 10 an easy 11.

Submitted By: Mrs L Burkinshaw
The hotel staff very helpful and friendly On our arrival at 10.30 pm a salad was waiting for us in the dining room The rooms were kept exceptionally clean and tidy as was the rest of the hotel and grounds The food was very good with a comprehensive choice every mealtime The resort is nice and quiet but within easy reach of mahon (bus service on time and reasonably priced) and all areas of this small and friendly island Our only complaint was that there was no air conditioning in the rooms and we had to hire a fan which did not make much difference, so spent some uncomfortbly hot nights Air conditioning would make this a 10/10 hokiiday destination for me and my grandson

Submitted By: Mr G S Palmer
This was our second visit to the Xaloc player the first was exceptional very quiet lovely hotel food and staff great.On arrival this time having requested a ground floor Accommodation through the tour operator we where stuck on the first floor no lifts at this hotel and it made the holiday very difficult for my wife climbing up stairs,The lack of Sun beds and availability leave a lot to be desired this hotel is no longer a haven for peace you can no longer swim in the pool for people playing ball games the good news is the beech is very near however due to the lack of sun beds we where forced to pay out 168 Euros to hire sun beds on the beech for the 2week holiday,The beds in the hotel have been renewed since our last visit if you like sleeping on a rock hard bed this place is for you you must also pay out for fans as the rooms have no air conditioning Now the good news the maid service is great ,The food is also very good for 3star loads of choice overall this was a very expensive and dissapointing holiday

" This was our first trip abraod since... "
Submitted By: Mrs K Vincent
This was our first trip abraod since the birth of our son (now 20mths) & we were nervous about the facilities, food, accomaodation. We were very pleasantly surprised & if you're looking for a place to take toddlers then this is the perfect place to start with. A very positive experience for us which we would gladly repeat. The rooms were clean & tended to every day. The staff were friendly & helpful. They even let us put milk in the bar fridge for our son's night time feeds. The pool was great, clean & very child friendly. Everything we'd asked for through the tour operator was done. There were many playgrounds in the resort & a beautiful beach to keep us entertained when we wanted a break from the hotel pool. The food was different every night & the bar staff accomodating & helpful especially considering their late nights & early mornings. The only things that could be improved are the entertainment which varied in qualitity, bar snack which were only available for 2 hours a day & some air conditioning in the rooms.

" Have just come back from what can... "
Submitted By: DelLou
Have just come back from what can only be described as a fabulous family holiday. This is the first year myself and my partner have taken our 3 year old son abroad. Yes we were slightly nervous, had only holidayed as a couple before, never with small child! But we had no need to worry, the Hotel Xaloc Playa, Punta Prima and Menorca in general were first class. We wanted a relaxing holiday,good hotel, good food, friendly team, time by the pool, nice beaches, the usual! I can honestly say we got it all, we couldn't have chosen better if we'd tried.
The hotel staff were brilliant, very friendly and accomodating, rooms basic but nothing to complain about, fine to crash in. Food was great, good choice, even appealed to our 'chips with everything' son!! Lovely resort for what we wanted, Mahon so easy to get to too, even with pushchair.
Have never felt compelled to write a review before, but our experience was so good I can't recommend enough, this coming from two restaurant/ hotel managers - who can probably be quite critical at times!
Have always followed the never go back to the same place twice, but already wanting to book for Summer '09.
( Have to thank all who holidayed at the beginning of July who put up with screams from our son refusing to go in pool - we got there in the end!!)

Submitted By: Mr M Keenan
This was our second stay at this hotel.The hotel is still kept very clean as are the rooms.At meal times there are plenty of food to choose from, plenty of starters and main meals,and the deserts are plenty, i put on weight again as the selection of deserts are fantastic.As we stayed there with our 2 older and 1 younger son the older boys where a bit bored but they enjoyed there stay as there was plenty of walks to do from the hotel, and the beach is just across the road from the hotel.Also a trip to mahon is a must the bus stop is just behind the hotel and the bus journey is not to long you may have to stand during your journey but it is worth it to visit mahon. plenty of shops and this is where a number of cruise liners stop.I would go back to this hotel again as it is a brilliant place to relax, as the resort is a quiet place it is up to yourself to make the most of it,You can either stay at the pool or go and explore this beautiful island.

Submitted By: Mrs Margaret Elliott
My self and my husband arrived at the hotel xaloc about 9.15pm we were greeted by sandy one of the hotel receptionists., who was very helpful and friendly. Although we had missed the evening meal a tasty salad was provided for us in the dinning room. The day after we arrived we went for a walk around the resort we found it to be very clean and quiet. the meals in the hotel were excellent with a good choice. The local bus which runs to Mahon (local name Mao) was regular and always on time. The only problem was on Tuesday's it is market day in mahon and the buses are really busy. Overall I would recommend Punta prima (hotel Xaloc ) to all my friends and family, i am looking forward to going back there again

" Hotel looks nice from outside,... "
Submitted By: Mrs B Mundy
Hotel looks nice from outside, reception area nice, rooms basic but perfect for sleeping and changing and very clean. Beds made every day with clean towels left, sheets cleaned every few days. Rest of hotel very clean and cleaners were cleaning reception floor all day! Only thing I would suggest is to ask for a 2nd pillow.
Food was nice, good choice. The bar serves lunchtime snacks and these are very good value for money! Pool and pool area nice and clean, only downside is there's a big palm tree on side of pool and casts shadow over sunbathing area however it does move round quickly and you get your sun back!
The hotel is mainly brits and germans and be warned the germans have no concept of que's! They serve evening meal at 7pm-9pm one evening we went down for drink and to be ready for meal at 7pm, a que was forming so we joined it only for another certain nationality to just que jump! This was also done inside the restaurant and at bus stop round corner! So beware!
Beach is beautiful, crystal clear water. The area is very quiet, perfect place if you want to go relax unwind and lay by pool or on beach.
We had a fabulous time and would go again!

Fantastic hotel, staff very friendly, food is a very good standard with fish and meat every night plus all the trimmings. Price of beer is very good, no high prices, entertainment 5n ights a week. Beach is only 2mins across a road, very clean ideal for kids. Punta Prima is very quiet, few bars very laid back, good bus service to other parts of the island and cheap, good value.
