The apartment was clean. I was nervous due to reading other reviews. But we were happy. I know they said bedding would be changed once a week and towels were twice, which was fine. But they're was no cleaning, ie bathroom, mopping floors. We always go on self catering holidays. So disappointed. It was as if we had booked an Eir B&B. Reception staff were friendly & helpful.

Update
The reception a bit too far away from my apt . Rather dated interiors and a sofa-cama in the living room that looked absolutely disgusting, l would never sit on it! A bit rediculous to have to check out at 10 o'clock and you HAVE to go to the reception(15 min walk) just to leave the key, seems very yesterday!
Anyways, the place is in a wonderful location the gardens and views fantastic. The proximity to the wonderful beach of Son Bou simply great. With just a little update of the interiors change of check-out pilicy this would be perfect!

Lovely stay at Son Bou Gardens
Lovely stay st son bou gardens based in zone 3 which is probably the best location, apartment was clean and comfortable including all the essentials for a self catering holiday. Great view also so would recommend a upper floor apartment. Close by to the pools, onsite supermarket, amazing bakery, and short stroll into the resort.

Perfect getaway
Great stay at son bou gardens as usual perfect for a quiet getaway staff friendly and helpful our apartment looked like they’ve been modernised since we last came pre covid and they were working on other whilst we were there €5 charge for beds at he gondola pool is the only let down but we used the son bou restaurant pool in zone 3 where it’s €3 but you get that back if you buy food and the fish & chips in there is amazing as are the staff especially Lucy the owner also being a Leicester city fan like me lol already looking for next year.

La piscina era ancora vuota
Il receptionist non ci accompagnato all’abitazione in un complesso molto vasto dandoci vaghe indicazioni su come trovare la nostra camera
Ci abbiamo messo quasi 40 minuti per capire dove trovarla
Lasciugacapelli era da noleggiare
Non c’era un tabacchi nel raggio di kilometri
Esperienza pessima

Praktisch, aber....
Der Ort ist sehr praktisch, um Ausflüge zu unternehmen und den Pool zu nutzen, wenn Sie am Nachmittag ankommen. Aber es gab einen kaputten Türrahmen, bei Regen sickerte Wasser durch die alten Fenster in die Zimmer, aus der Toilette lief Wasser aus und auch die Wasserhähne in Dusche und Badewanne funktionierten nicht richtig. Es ist seltsam in einem Land, das immer mehr zur Wüste wird und in dem Wasser so dringend benötigt wird, dass es aufgrund mangelnder Wartung der Anlagen so verschwendet wird.

Estuvimos 5 noches mi mujer y yo, un buen sitio para alojarse en Menorca, por la tranquilidad y la buena comunicacion que tiene con toda la isla de Menorca, el apartamento no estaba mal, le faltaban algunas cosas basicas, y no tiene limpieza y las camas no son muy comodas la verdad, por lo demas bien, por lo menos en Junio, no se como sera en meses con mas gente, pero lo pasamos bien y el sitio y las playas de san bou estaban muy bien.

Ottimo appartamento per una famiglia .
Appartamento molto grande, due camere da letto piccole ma confortevoli . Bagno molto bello e box doccia spazioso . Cucina ben fornita e patio esterno molto carino . Piscina proprio di fronte al l’appartamento. L’unica pecca è stata quella di non portare via la spazzatura degli ospiti precedenti. Il sacco con la spazzatura e quello con le lenzuola sono rimasti 3 giorni davanti all’ingresso .

Discreta
Ottima comunicazione con la struttura amche via whatsapp, ottima posizione vicino il mare ma gli appartamenti becessitano di piccoli lavori di rifiniture essendo un po datati come si può notare dagli infissi. La pulizia è fatta in maniera molto generale, in alcuni angoli e dietro il letto c'è qualche ragnatela inoltre a terra ogni tanto si notano diversi vermetti...
per il resto tutto ok
