Globales Apartamentos Binimar - All Inclusive

This was our first ever family holiday abroad with our young kids (6 and 3) and it didnt disappoint. We stayed for the May half term week and had all inclusive. On arrival we were met with a queue to check in as the hotel is a popular one with the Brits but we were looked after very well with drinks and snacks bought to us by the Tui rep while we waited. The apartment was clean and very well presented, with plenty of storage for clothes etc and a good sized sofa bed for the kids to sleep on in the living room part. The kitchennette was well stocked with crockery and cutlery, a hob and microwave should we have wished to use it! The air conditioning in the apartment worked very well and was no extra charge which is always appreciated. There was a safe in the apartment which was chargeable and slightly on the expensive side but we opted to pay for it for peace of mind. We had a ground floor apartment overlooking the top swimming pool which was lovely, the patio area was huge and had a very handy gate to contain the kids! We ate at both restaurants and were pleasantly surprised; yes it was busy but as long as you didnt try to go for your meals right at the start of service times we never had any issues with queueing for tables and there was always plenty of food. All 4 of us found something to eat at every meal, the buffet set up was excellent, especially breakfast. The evening kids entertainment was a big hit with the kids and the all inclusive drinks were a hit with us adults! Other reviews comment on the queue for the bar; this was never once a problem while we were there, the bar staff worked hard to keep the wait times to a minimum, even when in a queue of 5 or 6 people we never waited more than 5 minutes to be served! We didnt stay out later for the adult entertainment but could hear it and thought it sounded good, with a good range of music and entertainment tastes. The hotel itself was very well maintained, with all three pools spotlessly clean, the only downside was the rush for sunbeds each morning being a bit mad-probably to be expected in most hotels at that time of year but we managed to get beds each time we came back from daytrips out in the afternoons so this seems to only be an issue in the mornings. As for trips, we went on a public bus to citudella for the day, a beautiful town and only a short trip away. We also did the Tui trip to the zoo(not the largest zoo but good for small kids) and Son Bou beach - simply beautiful. The biggest hit for the kids was the pirates of menorca trip, beautiful location for lunch and excellent pirates keeping the kids entertained! We also visited the small beach next to the hotel, a rocky little shingle filled cove but had lots to explore and a nice bit of sea to swim in. On our last day the hotel even had breakfast served early for anyone on an early flight. These little details always make a difference! All in all a fabulous holiday and hotel which we will not hesitate to return to.

My son and I had a weeks self-catering stay at the BInimar in Sept 2019. We had a very nice ground floor apartment near the children's play pool. It was ideal for us as we could have two sun loungers directly outside the apartment and go in if it was too hot or we needed to eat. We could also go to the other two pools if we wanted a swim. I have two young grandchildren who were at home, so watching the little ones in the pool at the Binimar was amazing, seeing their confidence in the water improving daily. The accommodation was clean with the room cleaned three times during the week. We had a television, hairdryer & free air-con. We only used the hotel bar once for drinks and the staff were miserable and grumpy as too were the main reception staff. The cleaners and other ancillary staff were polite and friendly. We ate out every night and were not disappointed by the choice of restaurants in the main part of the resort. Entertainment at the hotel was bearable and as we were quite close to the main stage it was difficult to shut the noise out in the evenings. But it did end by 11.30pm so peace was restored. Globales Binimar is a very nice complex and maintained to a high standard, I would come here again and bring my grandchildren as I think they would really enjoy it.
