Vibra Blanc Palace Aparthotel

Large swimmingpools, free parking, daily room cleaning, beachfront access, bus station to Ciutadella in front of the hotel, helpfull staff, clean place, nice ventilation in the room perfect for hot days. Good kitchen to prepare breakfast.

This stunning complex offers a variety of accommodation styles and board choices, but most importantly, it is on the beach. Add that to the universally welcoming, friendly staff, from front desk to catering and housekeeping workers and you're on for a superb holiday. Optioning for an Easyjet Holiday package, we were self catering, with an added bonus upgrade to include the breakfast, which was more than sufficient. However, the location is the real winner. All accommodation lies within a two or three minute dander to the beautiful sandy bay, Sa Caleta Playa. There, a soft sandy cove, (typical on Minorca) beckons and even includes an upgraded beach bar, with full bar service and even ice cream. The English speaking proprietor goes out of his way to oblige making the whole experience superb. People watching is a must, especially as there seems to be more than the normal quota of subjects ('beautiful' people). A great day also involves frequent cooling dips in the clean waters, accessed by the smooth, stone-free beach itself. Off shore, private yachts bob at anchor and are even more numerous in the neighboring Cala Santandria with it's collection of beach front bars and restaurants. Don't miss the food on offer at the quirky Cova Sa Nacra: it is superb as are the vistas, literally on the waterfront, built into a cave. The leg of lamb is mouthwatering, but be warned, it is very, very busy and requires online booking up to a week in advance. Very reasonable prices too. But back to Vibra Blanc where the pool lovers are spoiled for choice, with three different options all with shallow kids facilities too. The actual rooms come with private balcony and air conditioning - essential at 30c - and are serviced daily. A minor problem with our microwave oven was also dealt with quickly, thanks to the efficient reception staff who are in hand 24/7 to help. Just as well as we needed a 6am alarm call to make the coach return to our Easyjet flight from Mahon, just under an hour away. All in all, accommodation and travel was superb thanks to (another) Easyjet Travel package. There is so much to see and do in this little island. It even boasts an Ulster-style agricultural background thanks to the last British governor, one Richard Kane, whose aunt was the original Dobbin of Dobbin's Inn, where Kane began his military career, in our own Carrickfergus! But that's a whole other story. Just kick back for the summer heat instead, on the sand at Sa Caleta. Enjoy! We certainly did.

The Pool and the location

You can access the beach easily. Parking around the area. Has its "own" supermarket. Is small but good to get some supplies.
