Villas Olivera and Mediterranea

The location was amazing. The villa itself was just about perfect. It contained everything a family needed for the perfect holiday. Private electric gated road that led to a electric gate to the property itself. Parking for two vehicles. Air con throughout the villa kept the place cool and cold if you really wanted. 3 bedrooms all very big with 2 of the bedrooms ensuite. Large living area with WiFi and Telly. Kitchen had everything including: coffee making machine, kettle, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, oven and hob. Etc Pool was very large with built in jacuzzi. Outside dining for 6 plus brick barbecue and 6 sun loungers. Pool was cleaned daily and garden attended to as well. 2 criticisms, in places the property looks a bit old. Master bathroom was looking “tired” and the pool had some tiling in poor condition. All of which was not really an issue and certainly it should not put anyone off staying here. However, my biggest frustration was the cleaners or rather the lack of cleaning. It’s not cheap to stay but you are paying for luxury. Therefore daily cleaning which I was led to believe was included was not and cost extra. Not an issue but would have been nicer if it was made clearer on the website. What is not acceptable is the fact the cleaners would not clean the patio around the pool. So in the morning when the local wildlife had visited in the morning and “messed” on the patio and furniture it was not cleaned the whole time we were there. Also my 12 year old son despite being told not to dump his sandy towel and clothes by the patio door did. The consequence of this was sand being deposited in the villa. Add in the leaves, dirt etc dumped on a daily basis on the patio area it became a mess with a lot of it ending up in the villa. Had there been a broom and a mop in the villa I would have swept it myself. I’m sorry for the money that is simply not acceptable. Shame because this was a 10/10 all day long. Please, sweep the bloody patio daily. 2 cleaners it’s a 5 minute job! Rant over!

5th May till 13th May. This is the second year running stopped at Villa Finesse Son Bou. Tipo 2 two floor villa. Two bed rooms now stairs, one upstairs with own terrice. All have own bathrooms with showers. This year took my parents as part of their 50th wedding anniversary present and it when down so well. They loved it. Booked the villa direct with manocrarentals.com the letting agents. The Villa has everthing you can wish for and more. It's well equipped with proper pans, pots, cups, glasses of every kind. They even left a welcome pack of bread, coffee, ham, cheese, jam, milk, butter, white & red wine. (If use supermarket use the big ones by the airport much cheaper) It has a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave and washing machine. Cleaners came in twice to change towels and beds. They cleaned throughout. Towels and bathrobes provided. The beds maybe a little hard for some people's liking BUT WE HAD NOT PROBLEM. If you have a problem in any way call reception and they get someone over with in 30mins. We called them once to fix the door lock, fix with no problems. Great service. Pool is not heated so cold but not a problem.  The water does take sometime to come though hot just run the tap or shower for a bit 5 or 10 mins go off do something come back and it will be fine.  Son Bou a nice place with everything we all needed. Great beach.  Car hire and insurance we booked in the UK ordered thought broker expedia.com and they got the cars off OK cars on Menorca for two cars for about £100 for both for the full week. Get car this way much cheaper and cuts out transfer times and costs. Meet OK car rep at airport short drive to pick up car. Really need a car to get around the island. All in all a fabulous holiday and great place More info in my previous review from this time last year (May 17) on there

We stayed at Villas Finesse in September. Our villa had 3 rooms (one with balcony), 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and terrace with private pool. Each room has a safe, two bathrobes and pool towels, and each bathroom has more than enough towels + a hairdryer. Kitchen is well equiped, but be prepared to buy some basic things like dish washing detergent, paper towels, salt, pepper etc. Villa was clean and their cleaning ladies are super nice. We didn’t like that the pool wasn’t heated, because the weather was perfect for swimming, but the water was really cold. There is also a grill outside. Overall it was a relaxing and peaceful stay and their staff is very nice and helpful. However, we highly recommend you to rent a car. Also let me remind you, that their reception is not at the same place as the villas. Anyway we would definitely come back here!
