A great holiday, good food and entertainment. All inclusive well worth doing especially having children to cater for.
I would recommend this hotel and would definitely go back. Brilliant holiday. The temperature was excellent for the time of year about 25c but a bit breezy near the beach.
The hotel is about 1 mile inland but has free bus shuttles to and from the beach.

The wife and I took 2 weeks out in the sun with the children, who are 4 and 6 and what a fantastic holiday it was.
The hotel was a joy to stay at food was excellent, plenty to do for the children, very safe and secure and the staff were only to helpful in any matter how ever small.
The pool areas were safe and the walk in pool was just right for the kids. Lager louts - not one in sight.
Hotel entertainment was fantastic with something different going on every night.

Fantastic hotel in beautiful grounds. Situated on a hill above SonBou, but easy to access amenities via the hotel's courtesy bus. The pool is large and slopes gently like a shoreline, so is great for young or weak swimmers.
We stayed in an apartment which was spacious and clean. The supermacado on site was handy for snacks and drinks, as was the poolside bar. Great hotel policy of 'no reserving sun beds' which was enforced each morning by the lifeguard. Restaurant food was good, but maybe more hot choices would be welcome if you were staying for two weeks. The evening entertainment wasn't very varied, with the majority being dancers.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes a relaxing holiday in great surroundings. Don't forget to visit son Bou beach with its long stretch of sand and clear, blue sea.

On arrival of this hotel you are taken aback by how wonderful this hotel is even though you think it is out of the way it is beautiful with stunning views.
The hotel has everything you need pool is great, great staff and very polite too they cant do enough for you . Meals were also great with a restaurant for you breakfast and evening meals as we went half board you cant ask for more.
Entertainment was excellent too and on our last night there the whole family stared in the show grease and we all thoroughly enjoyed this experience.
Beach is the best in Menorca and people were coming from all over Menorca for a day at son Bou beach and when you get there you will understand why. If you have time have a trip to Mahon it is also a very nice place to visit and excellent for presents for back home too we bought loads from novelty ashtrays to shoes.
There are a nice few restaurants at Mahon too
Also nice places to eat in Son Bou itself with a lot of designer shops too i spent most of my afternoons in them brought loads home without spending too much money amazing how much money you can save.
All i have to say on this is if you are after a nice relaxing and entertaining holiday then this is the place to be. Especially if you have kids as there is loads for them to do. I hardly ever seen mine especially between 11-3, hottest time in sun kids club take them indoors so they don’t get burnt and they also bring them back to you when the kids have had enough which i think is great as long as you tell the kid club reps where you will be they don’t have a problem with it.
To sum up 10/10. Will I be returning definitely in the near future have fun Donna, john Nathan and Bethany ages 27 30 8 and 5.

I have just had a two week holiday in Minorca, staying at the san valentine son Bou.
It was allocated on arrival and we couldn’t have asked for a better place.
The hotel is located at the top of a small mountain but don’t let this put you of, the views are amazing its lovely and quiet and the hotel supply a courtesy bus service to the beach which is situated at the bottom of the hill it runs every half hour.
The hotel complex is a 4* you either get a hotel room or an apartment, I had the apartment and even though we were half board we still had full facilities in the room to cook a meal, fridge, freezer English TV.
The restaurant was great all full table service for your drinks an a buffet style dinner and breakfast there was always something different to choose from, again the bar area was table service no need to queue there was always someone there to take your order.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet relaxing holiday.

Hotel San Valentine cannot purely be defined as quality until you have been and experienced it for yourself. From the second you step foot into the glistening reception area you will be hooked just like my family and I. The accommodation cannot be faulted, as the rooms, the communal facilities and the restaurant are in my opinion far higher than a five star.
The staff are exceptionally welcoming and very friendly and understanding. Many families who go to San Valentine often visit again year after year, making the experience of your holiday very relaxing and peaceful, its almost as if everyone already knows each other, and openly welcomes new friends.
The entertainment staff surely know how to get everyone involved, although not in an overbearing manner. They are a great source of entertainment not only for the children, but also for the adults. There presence is always welcomed and again, they are always friendly and upbeat.
The struggle up the gradient to the hotel can sometimes be a little testing, however, great fun if you are with friends, or out for a leisurely stroll. There is a bus service (free of charge) which runs from the hotel to the very well equipped local town, which is again, very pleasant and welcoming. (Especially the Hawaiian Bar!) Very quiet, tack-less town with more than enough amenities!
All in all, every aspect of the hotel creates the perfect holiday and provides different personalities with something to fulfil their needs.... There honestly is something for everyone...and I can almost guarantee that If you go once, you’ll have to go back time and time again!

We stayed here in June 07 and was not disappointed.
The hotel and pool area is spotlessly clean and all the staff speak good English and are helpful.
Rooms are well maintained by the maids, with towels and bed linen changed daily.
The only slight gripe is that you have to pay for the use of the in room safe (15Euros for a week)
We went half board, and the food was excellent with a lot of variety, along with the food, unlimited free coffee, tea and fruit juice at breakfast time, and a lovely dinner selection in the evening.
All inclusive is only worth it if you plan to drink large quantities of Alcohol during your stay. If not then half board may well suit you better.
The hotel was full when we stayed, and the guests there seemed to consist of roughly 60% English with the rest made up of equal numbers of Spanish, Italian, and Germans. (For those of you who like to know the main user nationality of the hotel!)
The hotel is located high up in a hill but there's a free hotel shuttle bus that leaves the hotel every 1/2 hour to take you down to the beach/main centre area down below. It takes about 6/8mins to get there. The bus can get busy during the morning with people going to the beach.
Getting back you can also use the shuttle bus, although it stops going back up to the hotel at 7pm.
There's a little train called the 'Son Bou Express' that runs until about 10.30pm that costs 3Euros that stops outside the hotel, and you get a lovely view along the way!
The beach is long with gorgeous sand and crystal clear sea.
On the beach there are pairs of sunbeds laid out with a parasol, if you want to use these, the cost is 17 Euros for a day which is quite steep, but lot of people just lay on their towels on the sand.
We really enjoyed our time here and will probably return next summer.
If you want a relaxing beach break then this place is perfect.
