SON BLANC

Restaurant

Unfortunately had an extremely poor dining experience at the restaurant. We were sat close to the open kitchen area so could see the chefs working. The first dishes were served very spaced out from each other. Nevertheless, the main dishes turned out to be even worse. They were served to those around us, including people who arrived after us, and we were again left waiting wondering where our food was for a long while (note: in a restaurant with a closed menu, where reservations are taken in advance).
The chef realised he was short our main dish so had to cook it up. After an extensive wait our main dish was served, due to the mistake there was obviously not enough meat left on the joint (lamb) therefore we had a very small portion of end rough cuts at room temperature. The dish was very disappointing, also due to the fact the mushroom dish to accompany it had been put on reheat but was cold when served. Reminder we could see this as sat close to the kitchen.

When we complained about it, all we received were vague explanations that there had been an issue but no real rectifications were attempted. We expected a more professional handling of the situation.

In hindsight, we should have returned the dishes but we were the last serving (could see they had scraped together the meat) and the kitchen had began to tidy up. The fact the head chef was fully aware of the situation and took no rectification either added to the negativity.

We left the experience feeling highly disappointed and unsatisfied with the meal and service provided. I hope others have a more positive experience.

Upon arrival we immediately knew we should have booked a longer stay. What a truly heavenly place to unwind! The restoration of this finca and its land has been beautifully executed with stunning design elements both inside and out and that don't compromise on comfort. To be immersed in the beautiful Menorcan countryside, with the forest, ravine and sea views was wonderful especially viewed from the fabulous infinity pool. The aromas from the drifts of rosemary and lavender are a sensory delight and the planting in general is very tasteful. Son Blanc has genuine environmental values and credentials, sustainability is at its heart and its land ensures the tastiest of home grown produce. Son Blanc has a relaxed and friendly vibe, staff are just lovely and our whole experience was exceptional. Thank you for such a special stay, Son Blanc is a triumph and we hope to return next year when we will seek a room with a sea view.

A beautiful hotel - we spent a week here and loved every moment of it. The restaurant was excellent (the buffet breakfast is probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had), the pool is perfect (and has a stunning view over the sea), and the grounds around the hotel are gorgeous for exploring. The staff are also all really friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to come back!

UNA MAGIA. Sono stata a cena il primo di settembre ed è stato tutto molto buono e bello. Per mio gusto personale affumicherei un pochino meno, perché l'affumicatura copre molto i sapori delicati dei piatti. La proprietà è bellissima. Nessun dettaglio è stato lasciato al caso, merito di una ristrutturazione molto rispettosa ed attenta. Materiali ed arredi di gran buon gusto. Ci siamo anche noi italiani con i nostri prodotti (vedi sedie, tavoli ...). Arrivarci non è semplice, perché sei in aperta campagna e non ci sono indicazioni. Ma credo che faccia parte del gioco perché quando arrivi la vivi come una conquista, anche se forse un piccolo cartello che ti dice che sei nel posto giusto lo metterei. Non aggiungo foto perché consiglio di andare e vedere il posto con i propri occhi.

The whole experience felt like a dream, it was beautiful, wholesome and relaxing.

Upon our arrival we felt very welcomed, the staff is professional but friendly, which sometimes it's not an easy balance to execute. Throughout our stay we felt like home but much better, because we were pampered! Everyone got the job done in a smooth manner, and they didn't stop there, they went the extra mile.

The place is gorgeous, once I stepped inside, I was in awe of the architecture and interior design, it was so tastefully curated to even the smallest detail. It also felt real and unique, as opposed of other establishments that have a similar aesthetic (because it's trendy), but in their case it feels generic. You can sense how much work, love and care has been put in Son Blanc.

We stayed there in June, that's Summer in Spain, so it was obviously hot and the perfect weather to spend the day at the pool—which btw is so exquisitely built, they were so clever making it look as part of the landscape! At night it gets chilly and I even needed a cardigan when dining al fresco, the room was the perfect temperature and the fans were more than enough.

The food was absolutely delicious, I loved the fact that they use local ingredients (even grown by them), it enhanced the whole experience by making you be present, the here and now, feeling everything that Son Blanc has to offer.

We also loved the fact that this hotel has only a few rooms, making the whole experience quite and private, it felt luxurious without being pretentious.

Please, more eco boutique hotels like Son Blanc, less humongous hotels with the wrong meaning of luxury. Please and thank you!

We cannot wait to be back!
