Good for a few days stay

The coffee machine did not work, also the extractor hood does not work, which is very inconvenient when cooking as the apartments smells like the food. For the rest it was all ok, I cannot really complain about others things. I liked that it was quiet, view was nice and it was not such a big complex!

HO SCOPERTO L’AMORE PER QUEST’ISOLA

1° volta a Menorca, esperienza ottima l’isola ha delle calette naturali da scoprire spettacolari le sue spiagge sono favolose con acqua cristallina, l’isola la si gira tranquillamente in scooter o auto. La struttura dove ho alloggiato con la mia famiglia (4 persone) è DESMAIS E si trova a Cala GALDANA la consiglio vivamente la posizione è ottima in 5 min si raggiunge la spiaggia molto vicina al centro ma nello stesso tempo regna la quiete e la tranquillità avendo di fronte un oasi naturalistica, la struttura è ben gestita da RAFFAELE e la figlia che sono disponibilissimi per cercare di soddisfare ogni esigenza e consigliare cosa visitare o dove assaggiare le prelibatezze del luogo.

Seguro que repetiremos y lo recomendamos sin ninguna duda.

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. While the host was very nice and accommodating, the apartment itself was not. No AIR CONDITIONING in a 35 Celsius weather, just one fan to make sleeping barely possible. We found trash from previous guests under the bed. Too expensive for what it has to offer. Avoid

Trop cher pour ce que c'est, passez votre chemin

Chambre salle, très bruyant, pas de clim, lave-linge commun, lit bébé facturé 10€ par jour pour un lit parapluie! A ce prix on attendait un vrai lit, la somme est en plus à payer en liquide ainsi que la taxe de séjour... ça sent bon l'optimisation fiscale... par contre personnel sympa et accueillant et piscine agréable. Dans l'ensemble 150€ la nuit en Aout c'est horriblement cher pour ce que c'est, ça vaut 80€ tout a plus.

Excellent apartment.

These are excellent apartments in a good location. The apartment we stayed in was very well equipped with everything we needed. The apartments are situated in a quiet part of Cala Galdana where we had a lovely view of the river and adjacent countryside but we were still only a few minutes from the beach and several restaurants. Our hosts were lovely and couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.

Mooie locatie, minder geschikt voor kleine kindere

De locatie is op een mooie rustige plek niet ver van het strand. Het personeel is vriendelijk.Het complex ziet er verzorgd uit maar de apartmenten zijn minder dan de foto's doen vermoeden. De bedden zijn goed en de keuken handig maar de badkamer verouderd. We troffen het niet helemaal netjes schoon aan. Voor kleine kinderen is er niet echt mogelijkheid om buiten rond te lopen ivm trappen en zwembad. En het is erg gehorig, wat ook niet handig is met kinderen

Excellent value for money!!

The host of Des Mais made us feel so welcome. She was very informative and advised us on everything in the local area from walks, to great restaurants, to beaches and activities. Most of which we sampled and were awesome! When reception was closed we were greeted by the care taker who was very friendly and smiley, credit to her as the grounds of Des Mais are beautiful. She helped us with our washing and drying when required - this is another service that Des Mais offers (all for only 2 Euro!) The location is beyond perfect; our room had a idyllic view across the nature reserve opposite where you can find birds & fishes in the stream. Their chirping and splashing provides a backing track you wouldn't get anywhere else. The new owner has done a great job of renovations, although the accommodation is basic (it hasn't everything you'll need) it's reflected in the price and is excellent value for money! In a world where there's so much to choose from its easy to find yourself being over critical and leaving disappointed, however, this wasn't the case with Des Mais. We left feeling contented and sad to go. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay! Highly recommended.

Dont go there

Umiddelbar pæne værelser og en dejlig beliggenhed, men det mest ubehøvlede og lavest serviceniveau vi nogensinde har oplevet. Kvinden der ledede den daglige drift, påstod at vores booking med to børn ikke var rigtig, trods vi havde alt på skrift. Vi kunne kun få to dyner, selvom vi var 4 Pers og frøs om natten. Den ugentlig rengøring måtte rykke for. Vi havde to dage, hvor toilettet ikke virkede. Til en 14 dage periode fik vi 4 ruller toiletpapir til 4 Pers! Der er ingen udeområder med sol efter kl 16 og heller ikke poolen. Generelt set følte vi var på opdragelsesanstalt i stedet for ferie. DÅRLIGT valg af hotel!

Quiet Clean And Convenient

Desmais Apartment's Are Located in A Very Quiet Area Of Cala Galdana , 10 min walk To Beach ( Great Beach) and restaurant's. Quiet pool on site though the water is a bit on the Cool side, There are 2 Blocks of 12 Apartments each The top block is quite a climb. Not a lot of night life But the couple of Hotel's in the area have entertainment Most nights And you can just walk in.
