Nelva Resorts & Hotels

Superb aparthotel, had a lovely room on 2nd floor with the sun all day on the balcony. Spotless clean and very spacious apartment. Great staff, lovely food, nice pool with plenty sunbeds. Great location in Cala n Porter. Highly recommend and hope to be back next year.

Lovely little gem, hidden bavk end of cala en porter. The apartments have everything you need. And it's so peaceful. Never once did we struggle for sunbeds. In fact we regularly had the place to ourselves. Would visit again. Only down sides. The kettle is small and their is a smell from bathroom.

Have just returned from a bank holiday girls weekend. What a lovely little resort with the friendliness feel and team. A lovely collection of apartments with pretty tiled roofs and clustered around a lovely pool a and landscaped gardens. Rooms were spacious, the resort must be a number of years old but the rooms have been decorated and kept current. There was air conditioning in the lounge area, but not in the bedrooms which might be an issue in high summer but was fine in May. The location is in Cala En Porter, 10 mins from the lovely bay but reached by steep steps so not for those with any mobility issues. The resort is close to a few restaurants but it is in quite a quiet residential area. Staff everywhere in the resort were fabulous, so friendly and helpful and have fun with the guests. A lovely little gem of a resort.

Stayed here in Sept 23. First of all, this is a difficult review to write as we did have a lovely holiday. Also worth remembering is that, for the money charged to stay here, it does offer a lot of positives. But it also has some issues that really need addressing. I will start with those issues but please read below to the end as there are some very positive points to this resort: First off, we were given room 112. On entering we were met with a strong smell of disinfectant. However, within hours that smell changed to a very bad stale / putrid urine smell. Over night this became unbearable. On speaking to the manager the next morning (who was incredibly helpful and a really nice guy), he stated that this happens when it rains and that it was drains related. He moved us to room 102 which is on the opposite side of the resort. Both rooms are one flight of stairs up on the first floor. He also, very honestly, stated that he couldn't guarantee the same issue wouldn't happen in this room. Within hours the smell was present in the new room. We went down and asked for some bleach / disinfectant which he kindly supplied along with some air freshener. The issue still appeared even when it didn't rain. When the disinfectant was poured down the sink, toilet and shower, the smell disappeared. We eventually bought a large bottle of bleach in the supermarket and applied it last thing at night. No more issues. I'm not sure this is either weather related or drain related. It's more like the bathrooms are poorly plumbed. Bottom line is? It needs fixing as the smell is really bad. Secondly, the rooms have been poorly decorated over damaged walls. It feels tired. Thirdly, the bathroom towels are thin, feel old and are not particularly pleasant to use. You do also get towels to use poolside. That last point wouldn't be so bad but ours were only changed once in a week. The room was cleaned with "fresh" towels on the Wednesday, the day after we changed rooms (we arrived on the Monday). We actually left on the following Monday and the room was untouched for the following 4 days before leaving early on the Monday. Putting all that aside, the resort does have some major positives. The rooms are large and roomy. The AC is cold and although situated in the living area, cools the whole apartment. The beds (we found) were very comfortable and we slept well. The pool area is lovely and the pool is cleaned regularly. The bathrooms (smell aside) are modern with proper walk in showers with plenty of hot water and good pressure. There is plenty of hanging space for clothes. The bar is great (gin and tonics were superb). We didn't eat there. The staff are excellent. The manager really did do his best for use for which we are grateful. The entertainment is only a couple of nights a week but was very good. Quality over quantity it seems. Parking is free and plentiful. Mainly, the location is superb. It is only 5 mins walk into town so it's incredibly quiet but close enough for all the restaurants in town. In addition to this, Club Menorca with it's incredible position overlooking the bay, is just round the corner and La Palette restaurant and the cave bar / scenic view points are just a short stroll away. The Beach is also a small walk away if you use the steps at Villa 36 on the scenic road overlooking the sea. It's a bit of a hike back up but that is the case no matter where you stay in Cala en Porter. Make a point of meeting Thomas the ginger tom cat. He is a real charmer, we met him on the way back from La Palette and he walked us back home and joined us in the apartment for a nightcap. I have given three marks as a review. I would have loved to marked it higher but the issues vs. the positives, I think a 3 is fair at this moment in time. Many thanks for the Nelva Resort. I really hope you can address the issues and so offer the perfect package.

Stayed here in September for a long weekend with a group of friends. The location is great and is in a nice quiet part of the resort. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. The pool was very nice and clean. We only had breakfast there on our stay, but it was very good. I would stay here again.
