Helen and Chris – Thank you so much for your very generous review. I’m so pleased that the apartment, the resort and Menorca exceeded your expectations. You were lovely guests and I really hope that you return to explore the island another time. El Alcor 24 is our home in Menorca and we love it when guests feel that it is a home away from home for them too. Somewhere tranquil to return to after a busy day. We sometimes sit out by the garden, especially in a morning for a coffee, or in the afternoon for a cup of tea, as we like to see the flowers we’ve planted doing so well year after year. I’m really glad that you’ve recharged your batteries and enjoyed yourselves. Best regards – John and Tricia

Gary and Sue – Thank you so much for your really thoughtful review. We try to replace items within the apartment on a regular basis, because we think that when guests have chosen to stay with us above others, they deserve the best that we can provide. As you are aware, we only allow two adults to stay in the apartment and we are very pleased that we made this decision. We have found that all our guests take good care of the apartment, you included, which enables us to upgrade with confidence. As for the balcony, we love to spend time there enjoying the view, the sailing boats, the cruise liners on the horizon and, if we’re very lucky, the sea plane landing in the bay. As the apartment is situated in an elevated position, the view is indeed spectacular and never fails to disappoint. You were lovely guests, responding to my emails in a timely manner. You are welcome to stay with us any time. John and Tricia.

Caroline and Joël – Thank you so much for your perfect review. We’re so pleased that you had a great time on the island of Menorca and at El Alcor 24. You mention the sea view from the apartment and the quietness of the area. Whilst it’s lovely to explore the island, visit the beaches and larger towns, it’s just delightful to return to the apartment, have a cool shower and relax on the terrace. Watching the world go by with a famous Xoriguer gin and tonic, before visiting one of the local restaurants, finishes the day perfectly. As you mention, Cala Tirant is only a short distance away. The walk from the apartment, encircling the whole bay and back again takes just less than an hour, but best to be done out of the midday sun! You might meet up with the occasional serious walker, however, as Cala Tirant forms part of the Camí de Cavalls, the ancient walkway that encircles the island. As for the information I send, I’m pleased you found it useful. I think it just helps guests to be well informed, ensuring they have a lovely, relaxing holiday. I hope you stay with us again. You are welcome back any time! John and Tricia.

Christine and Tony – Thank you for your fantastic review. We’re pleased that you had everything you needed and that the apartment was spotless. Our housekeeping team work very hard to ensure that there are smooth changeovers and that the apartment is thoroughly clean, ready for the arrival of guests. Thank you too for letting us know that you’d arrived safely and were ‘so happy’.

Thanks also for mentioning about the view. It’s why we chose the apartment and it never ceases to amaze. So high above everyone, so much to see!

As you say, we’re extremely lucky with the close proximity of three excellent restaurants and, as you also mention, it’s not far to walk back to the apartment ‘under the stars’. Whenever we go out for a meal, on our way home we always look out for ‘our’ star, Alcor.

If you happen to visit again, which we hope you do, look for The Great Bear, Ursa Major. Within the Great Bear is The Plough or Big Dipper, a pattern of seven of the brightest stars in the constellation. Mizar and its companion star Alcor are one of the most famous double stars in the sky. You’ll spot Mizar first, as the middle star of The Plough’s handle. Look closely, and you’ll see Alcor right next to Mizar.

Thanks once again for your lovely review. You were perfect guests and are welcome back any time!

John and Tricia
