We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
A very relaxed experience, in fact, the best we have had with Inntravel so far. Great choice of routes (and days off!). Excellent and well-placed hotels, I really cannot fault it and would do the same holiday over again. Up to your usual standard, thank you so much!
This was a fantastic way of exploring the beautiful and largely unspoilt island of Menorca, with so much history, remote coastlines and hidden coves. Accommodation was excellent, Hotel Es Mercadal in an excellent position close to several superb restaurants and tapas bars right in the centre of the island and Hotel Rural Alcaufar Vell an amazing place set within its own large estate, with an incredibly peaceful atmosphere, close to the south east coast. Wonderful Mediterranean food served by friendly professional staff. We were delighted with our room which had a lovely terrace to sit out on in the evening. Cycling was quite challenging at times as the bikes were heavier than we are used to which added to the work load when cycling up the hills, but the effort was always worthwhile. With the exception of the occasional dirt tracks, road surfaces usually excellent, and motorists generally very considerate. Swimming in the turquoise crystal clear sea and watching innumerable fish swim by with the help of a simple pair of goggles was incredible. This was our first visit to Menorca, and we will definitely return!
One of the best holidays we have had for a long time. Really well thought out and organised. You start at a simple town house hotel and move to a more luxurious manor house, but both provided excellent accommodation and really thoughtful, attentive staff. The cycling routes were excellent and provided a really good insight into the island and the beautiful countryside it has to offer. We would definitely recommend including the longer option to Cap de Favaritx as this was well worth it. Allow plenty of time to wander around S'Albufera Natural Park as this was another highlight for us. A visit to both Ciutedella and Mahon in the afternoon/evening is also easily done after a day's cycling. If you are interested in birdwatching, we would recommend a half or full day tour with local bird guide Javier Mendez (http://menorcawalkingbirds.com), a wonderful experience.

Loved every minute of this holiday. Menorca in May is a mini-Eden. Lots and lots of gorgeous wildflowers, lush green vegetation and wonderful solitary sandy coves. The cycling routes were terrific and took you through a variety of landscapes so I came away feeling like I had had a real flavour of the island. Both hotels were great, the people friendly and the drivers courteous to cyclists. Oh and also great for birdwatching! Would not hesitate to book again with Inntravel for my next cycling holiday.
First day to Cap de Cavalleria spectacular with sea and sky colours and walk to Cala Pregonda well worth it from Binimel-la. Colourful and varied wild flowers everywhere. As fairly keen birdwatchers, S'Albufeira rather disappointing with few birds about at this time of year. Enjoyed return from Cales Caves with variety of roads and villages with much to see including many talaiots. Talati de Dalt the best site, but shut for two-hour lunch from 2.00; luckily we were there at 1.15 with time to explore, so check times to avoid disappointment.
We had a great holiday - everybody was friendly, the weather was good, the scenery was excellent and the cycling was enjoyable though challenging in places. We had an extra day at Es Mercadal and cycled up Monte Toro, hard work but excellent views of the entire island.
Hotel Rural Alcaufar Vell was wonderful. Lovely location, pleasant and helpful staff, great meals and large comfortable rooms. Parts of the rides were harder than I expected but the views along the way were exceptional.
Highlights: Wonderful cycling to all the bays and coves. Lunch at Es Grau after a lovely ride along the lanes and through the forest where we were lucky enough to see a tortoise ambling along. Glass of wine at Menorca Cricket club in the shade of the trees whilst watching the game on the way back from Calles Coves.
Alcaufar Vell hotel was lovely and the staff so kind and helpful, wonderful service.
The walk from Alcaufar Vell along the Cami Cavalls ending up at the cove in Alcaufar- sardines, wine and a dip in the sea!
Apart from some mechanical problems, we had a magnificent holiday. The cycling was superb with quiet country lanes, wildflower meadows, cool woods and a very varied scenery. The shorter alternatives suited us 3 pensioners perfectly (total 226 years!), and even so we covered a respectable 175 km. April is an ideal month for this tour. Very few tourists, flowers and greenery everywhere and temperatures ideal. Christine's only complaint was that at the Hotel Alcaufar Vell she was kept awake by a nightingale singing!
