Apartamentos Son Bou Gardens

Limited ability to travel round the island due to poor variety of public transport routes. More info about local activities and how to book would have been helpful

The apartment was clean. I was nervous due to reading other reviews. But we were happy. I know they said bedding would be changed once a week and towels were twice, which was fine. But they're was no cleaning, ie bathroom, mopping floors. We always go on self catering holidays. So disappointed. It was as if we had booked an Eir B&B. Reception staff were friendly & helpful.

Appartement bien conçu et correctement équipé ( climatisation, lave linge, télé…..). Résidence très verdoyante et très bien entretenue, calme dans son ensemble. Très belle piscine commune ( les bains de soleil sont payants : 3€/jour par personne).

Difficulty with the door lock, lights not working and not cleaned at stayed times. Pool closed.

Ottima comunicazione con la struttura amche via whatsapp, ottima posizione vicino il mare ma gli appartamenti becessitano di piccoli lavori di rifiniture essendo un po datati come si può notare dagli infissi. La pulizia è fatta in maniera molto generale, in alcuni angoli e dietro il letto c'è qualche ragnatela inoltre a terra ogni tanto si notano diversi vermetti... per il resto tutto ok

Great stay at son bou gardens as usual perfect for a quiet getaway staff friendly and helpful our apartment looked like they’ve been modernised since we last came pre covid and they were working on other whilst we were there €5 charge for beds at he gondola pool is the only let down but we used the son bou restaurant pool in zone 3 where it’s €3 but you get that back if you buy food and the fish & chips in there is amazing as are the staff especially Lucy the owner also being a Leicester city fan like me lol already looking for next year.

Receptionist Very Unhelpful , Cockroaches in our Apt had to buy spray but they still kept appearing.

The apartment was basic but adequate and clean. It was in a lovely area, a short walk to many restaurants, bars, shops and beach. Staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay 😀

Pros - No doubt this is good value in the sense that you can sleep 5 people (4 singles and a “sofa bed”) for a reasonable price. The sofa bed was not really a bed. - The exterior and the grounds looked nice and were well kept - You could use the pool for free, although we were told at check in “not to stay there all day”... - Satellite TV Cons - The interior of the apartment was old and tired. I’d estimate that the apartment was last updated in the 80s. The floors and surfaces were not well cleaned and though we stayed for a week, there was no cleaning service for that length of stay. - Though there was a kitchen with toaster and oven, when we tried to use them, the fire alarm would go off, probably due to accumulated oil and dust on the elements - The towels were only changed once - Though we could use the pool, you did have to pay for sun beds. It’s only a few of euros per bed per day, but people ended up just setting up on the floor. The pool can get pretty packed. - It’s about a 20 minute walk to the beach... not too bad, but there’s no shade all the way there, so be prepared. - Due to COVID-19 there were fewer people than usual when we were there, but nevertheless there were large herds of children who would roam around without supervision and could be quite loud even past midnight, just outside our bedroom window Conclusion: basic accommodation for a budget price

5th time here basic but clean with everything you need in a beautiful location

Extended 4 night stay here. Love this complex. Quiet and peaceful and suits us fine in every aspect. Beautiful island and coves

2nd stay here. Love the quiet serenity of the place. Apartments set in beautiful gardens well maintained. Many privately owned. 3 pools 3 zones 3 restaurants on complex with shops/bars etc 5 mins walk into Son Bou. very quiet in May when we were there but that is how we like it. Some days had the whole pool to ourselves. Love it here. Rooms basic rustic style but not a problem for us. Many privately owned. Would love to live here!! Car advisable if you want to explore this beautiful island. Sorry photos will not upload tried 3 times on my mobile.

Clean and roomy apartment in a quiet, tidy and attractive resort. Enjoyed the pool. Ample parking nearby. Beds could have been more comfortable - hence only 4 stars.

Stayed here for 5 days in September 18, nice appartment with all the basics you need. Beds were a bit on the hard side. Local area very nice with plenty of choice for meals. Could do with some sunbeds for the balcony.

Lovely resort with good swimming pool and restaurant for a quick lunch. Particulary one of the swimming pools with Grass around. Checkin was very slow due to the lack of communicaton between hotels.com and the resort. They did not have my booking confirmation where the discount was visible and I spent half an hour to find it and email them. That should be improved as check in ahould be quick. Apartment was located in a nice area near pool, restaurant and bakery. Happy that bathroom was newer than expected as I know these apartments can have a very old one. Kitgen appliances and furniture need a refresher and maybe change it for something a bit better. Beds are a bit uncomfortable as after few days we could feel a hole in our mattress, so we turned the sides and it was a bit better. It would great to have washing machine, at least a sharp knife to cut meats, etc. There is only one for bread. All my comments is to provide conatructive feedback and help to manage this better, we were very happy overall and we would go back as kids loved it, t is very quiet and very good location to visit calas around the island. We did not missed aircon as fans on the ceiling are ok if you also keep blind windows closed to avoid mosquitos.

The apartment was great, better than advertised and therefore expected. I would recommend Son Bou highly. There are a couple of niggles the main one to be aware of is the rental charge for the sun beds. But that is a small niggle. The pools are really good. Do let that put you off. Hire the beds and relax. On the plus side the rental charge meant that the pool wasn’t to busy. So that’s a silver lining.

Poor weather everywhere closed gaps in doors, broken toilet, weak shower not much else to be said.

I found this resort quiet and nearly everything was shut due to end of season had I of known this then I wouldn’t of booked this holiday

Cozy but old Holiday home. Good beds.

Basic apartments that increased in price quite a lot over the past six years. Unfortunately you do not have a choice which apartment in what complex you like to stay - you get what you're given. They now come with dishwasher and wash machine as well as TV - unfortunately this has only Spanish channels. The mattresses and the sofa uncomfortable, cheap plastic chairs on the balcony. Not much to do on rainy days. The complex is nice and very well kept. Son Bou is a fantastic beach resort and Menorca a great island.
