We had a lovely stay in Santo Tomas which is a nice, fairly small beach resort on the south coast with a choice of bars and restaurants aimed predominantly at English couples or families. Joan's villa was absolutely perfect for our stay - the large pool, patio and garden area is absolutely gorgeous; if you prefer to laze in the sun without sand getting everywhere you will find it hard to leave the villa. However we did venture out to son bou which is a huge white sand beach 25 mins walk away and by car to capo macarellena and ciutadella which were real highlights of our trip. Joan and his sister were friendly and unobtrusive hosts who were still keen to ensure we had everything we needed. The villa is very well equipped including a barbecue, very strong wifi and satellite TV with a small range of English channels. Overall this place is highly recommended for first timers to menorca.
