Menorca Experimental

An incredible meal. We couldn’t recommend this more. The food was out of this world. Seabass cervice was outstanding and the staff were beautifully attentive, even giving us a special honeymoon glass of cava. A laid back but romantic hidden gem. Well worth a visit.

We had a reservation that had to be secured with a credit card. Fair enough. Upon arriving we were made to wait as they look overwhelmed. Once seated and after 10 minutes of waiting we were told the kitchen was too busy for us to order we needed to wait. Never heard this before in a hotel. We were hungry so we pleaded for something small, some jamon maybe? Impossible we were told, kitchen could not deliver for a while. We were told they could bring us olives!!! The manager came and was very unprofessional and borderline rude… asking us if we were guests of outsiders. As we were the latter he said we needed to understand they had to prioritise guests over us. Second class customers. If you don’t want to be treated as a paying second class customer, better to avoid. We did, we left after waiting 15’ for water and being declined food.

First experience of an Experimental. Loved this one. Brilliant location 10 mins walk from stunning sea views, food incredible, gardens gorgeous. Good for couples or families with v young children, but not really a kids place. Spa great too. Oh yes and the food was excellent as well!

I had a lovely stay at Menorca Experimental. The property is beautiful and interiors are impeccable throughout. Swimming pool is lovely. Dinner menu is good and the vibe on the outdoor terrace area is great. Lunch menu is limited and nothing special. I have no complaints about my stay overall as I enjoyed it - staff were sufficiently friendly, but I wouldn't say the service here blows your mind nor do they go out of their way to make you feel warmly welcomed. It was my 30th birthday celebration on the weekend I stayed here and none of the staff noticed (despite my sister, who made the booking, telling them in advance). Location of hotel is in the middle of nowhere and if you aren't driving yourself/renting a car, you will have to rely on expensive taxis to get around the island otherwise there is nothing to really do in the vicinity of the hotel.

I hate writing bad reviews but have to say our stay at Experimental Menorca was ordinary. Admittedly it was the end of season - however we were still paying for an Experimental experience. And paid we did! Full rate for a half open venue. We had stayed at a farmhouse for a couple of nights before and the service and staff were outstanding despite it being the last weekend. Our experience at Experimental was completely different. The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The food was good however the menu was extremely limited and portions were small for the price. The breakfast buffet was stale and very average. The pool bar was closed, and in fact packed down for the season. No effort was made by the Experimental team to compensate for this or welcome us to the pool area. The spa was outstanding - credit to the staff in this part of the hotel. As a consequence we left a day early. Despite having to pay for the extra night.

We loved our 3 nights. We were upgraded to a villa with a pool. The place was stunning. Exceeded our expectations. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was out of this world. Amazing place. Leaving totally rejuvenated
