Me and all my family including my sister and her family went here and was lovely! Food was lovely Staff lovely especially Dave (outside bar) and on our evaluation we put as favorite staff. We did have one issue though there was a rule that no sun beds could be reserved, but when we would come done for breakfast nearly all the sunbeds would be taken. Beside that we were close to a beach and a lovely Marina with Supermarkets and other shops and resturants. There was also a Glass Bottom Boat Hire which was OK but Many people got Sea-Sick. You could also Hire out Special Bikes with either two seats or four seats. Unfortunately When my Daughters and Neices and Nephew wanted to go on the two bike was available but the four was broken but fortunately you can hire them from the supermarket. We had a lovely holiday and are coming back next year! Hope this helps! Oh and the Food was Amazing a lovely Buffet which had Everything! And this is great for kids, its The kids beging to come back next year!

we have just arrived back home after a great holiday at Valentine star. Great food, very clean everywhere all staff very friendly. 1 too friendly.
we have 2 daughters both very attractive i must say 1 = 15 other 22 years old. i must say when we go on holiday it is to enjoy ourselves as a family.
we dont really want bar staff coming on to any of us, especially trying to get your daughters (and yes both of them) to leave their parents and go and live full time with a waiter in Menorca!
on several attempts he approached both my daughters and asked them to tell me and my wife that he had a girl friend from Germany and he was happy. He even told me that story to my face also.
However behind the scenes he was trying to get them to live in Spain with him.
on the last night at about 1 am we were all clearing up outside and i'd finished off and went in for the night. my oldest daughter was last to leave and go inside. this waiter called David approached her again and asked her to go for a walk with him alone.
i must say not very professional. this man spoilt the reputation of this holtel for us all. the staff are so friendly and helpful. i guess one rotten apple can spoil the barrel.
putting this experiance to one side and the final exception which i'll you all about later, it was really a great relaxing, hassel free holiday in a very small town/village.
i you want to relax it is here.
food is excellent throughout the holiday with only 1 exception.
so here goes.
on the day of departure we asked for a packed breakfast as we were all leaving early.
the holtel reception staff organised everything.
when we got to the air port we opened to packed breakfast only to find one sandwich as coated in mold.
we showed this to Emma our holiday rep who i must say is a very charming young lady.
anyway she took the matter serious and said she would show the breakfast to her manager.
my criticism was that she didnt come back to us or even offer any resolution to the matter. because one breakfast was out of date by days - due to the amount of mold on the sandwich - we couldnt eat the other packed breakfast. as such we had to buy our own food during the journey home.
if i have to criticise the holiday i would say if you are buying food/drink then it is very expensive. especially the simple and cheap food such as chips wich cost 3 to 4 euros.
all in all great holiday waiter must go because he does let their side down massively. throughout the holiday all i could think about was the film Shirley Valentine.

I loved the food and I loved it! My bed was comfy and the pool was good! I am very pale but came home with a beautiful tan!

just returned today (just a few hours ago) from our fabulous holiday ay the Velentin Star in Cala'n Bosch (Menorca)!
What a great place, from the welcome to the departure!
The weather and resort were beautiful.The hotel is pure class- relaxation with the feeling of being pampered. The food - very tasty, especially when the catering team were providing for a host of cultures! The catering team were professional, friendly and could not do enough for us!
The housekeeping service was first class! Again, could not do enough for us! One thing to think about is to take a travel kettle if you like to have a cup of tea/coffee in your room as this is the only thing not provided, however, the tea and coffee served at the pool bar is nice too.
Entertainment good, but the resort itself provides a nice variety- especially the Shamrock Irish Bar, across the road from the entrance to the Valentin Star- A salute to Roberto (best waiter in Menorca!) and Joey "Sexy Eyes" (best performer in Menorca!).
Daytime entertainment was good too- Hands up to Juliane and Noria-Hannah! They got us to do Pilates, Water Aerobics, Water Bingo, Water Polo, etc.Well Done Girls!
Overall, we (myself, hubby and 2 daughters- aged 19 and 15) give this holiday 10/10!!! Will recommend this holiday to those with children, couples, teenagers. Will certainly return!

Me and my fiancee have just returned from a holiday at the Valentin Star. We went last year and I raved about it but the place has got even better. The food is incredible so many different types of food to choose from (I came back about 2 stone heavier than before I went). The hotel is so clean the maids work so hard and the staff are so pleasent and kind nboth in the bar and eating area (especially Donisio, the bar manager he's a very nice man). This is the second time we have been and Im going back to the travel agents next week to book to go again this year and also next year. The PERFECT holiday.

We came back from the valentin star two weeks ago, there were seven of us for my Dad's birthday including two under nine. How anyone can have any complaints at all about this hotel i do not know, i have to say that everything about the hotel was brilliant. The food was great, there was so much choice. The staff bent over backwards to help and to make you feel welcome. All areas of the hotel were immaculate, and quite luxurious. The marina area was very pretty and there were plenty of bars and cafe's. We did a boat trip around the coast which was a great way to spend the afternoon and the coast is extremely pretty. We hired a car for two days and travelled the island, Binibeca was a lovely little place and Citudella was very interesting and a classy . I would reccomend hiring a car before you travel at busy periods because the car hire firms are very busy, we were lucky that our rep sorted ours out, otherwise i think we could have wasted a lot of time trying each day for a car. All in all it was one of the best holidays i've had in a while, Menorca is beautiful.

After reading some comments about the hotel, i was a bit concerned on what the quality of the food was like. Do not be put off by these comments!!, i am a Catering Manager and i could not fault anything about the food, in fact there is probally to much choice!!.
The hotel is clean, the staff are very helpful, and the location is brilliant.
All in all it is a very good quality hotel, i certainly would go back and reccomend to others.

My husband and I have just returned from Menorca and had a brilliant time. This hotel is beautiful, I was so impressed with the cleanliness and how friendly and helpful all the staff were. The pool is really beautiful with one side quite deep and the other really shallow which was perfect for children or just sunbathing in the pool. I personally didn't experience any problems with getting a sunbed and there were always some free during the day. I believe they previously had problems with people reserving beds but they do not allow that anymore.
Our room was very spacious and again extremely clean, excellent air conditioning and the bed was sooo comfy I wanted to bring it home with me. The room was cleaned every day which was really nice to come back to.
In terms of the food I was really impressed, having stayed at 4 star hotels before this was great. Lots of choice and I disagree with the comments about the hot food, everything I had was always cooked fully and warm. For breakfast you can have anything from croissants, toast to omlettes cooked fresh to bacon, eggs, sausage and even fruit and yoghurt.....chips if you really fancy them too:-) The same was said for the evening food again lots of choice and very tasty, agree lots of fish but thats common when your abroad.
I would really recommend this hotel and we will be going back for another visit!
