Seth Agamenon

Great Hotel! Very friendly staffs. I love the room so much!!!

We’ve just returned from a delightful stay at the Agamenon - to celebrate our Golden Wedding. The hotel was exactly right for us - with a lovely comfortable room, a beautiful and most interesting view from our balcony, delicious meals with a very wide choice of dishes which changed every day - and a very nice pool too. The entertainment on two evenings was much appreciated and I made good use of their little gym early every morning. We really enjoyed trips to several towns and sites, using the excellent local bus service. But what made it extra special for us was the kindness and dedication of the staff - Cili, Cristina and Sylvia on Reception, Alex, Jasmin, Vicente and Cleo in the Dining room and Harold - always smiling at the poolside or the bar. Plus all the ladies who kept our room immaculate and the hardworking staff who ensure the gardens and surrounding areas are really well cared for. Thank you - this was indeed a very special holiday which we will always look back on with the happiest of memories.

What a lovely discovery .My friend and i visited for 5 days to celebrate our big birthdays this year .Neither of us had been to the island before. Our rooms were lovely 211 and 212 with brilliant views, they were very clean ,lovely comfortable beds and nice sized shower and bathroom. The grounds and pool were very good, and some repair work was going on for the few tired areas. There was a strong bitterly cold wind so we couldnt take advantage of the pool or area. We had booked bed and breakfast, but as the food was so amazing we had 3 evening meals-choices and variety of naughty desserts at a reasonable price. The credit for our great holiday has to be your staff. Cilla arranged a bottle of fizzy with a lovely note from all the staff wishing us have birthdays. Harold in the bar- well what a great man-he said he gets up happy and stays that way, i loved trying out my few Spanish words to his enjoyment . I managed to thank the restaurant manageress and some of their chefs, far too enjoyable food. Our experience will always stay with us, thankyou everyone.

Before staying in Es Castell in April / May 2024 we emailed the Seth Agamenon in advance of our stay to see if we could visit to see one of their sea view rooms in person. We received a prompt reply from the hotel manager Ernestina Valentino explaining to visit them when on holiday and they would try their best which we duly did. The lady on reception (I think the ladies name was Cili) was very helpful and happily showed us two different rooms which was much appreciated. Whilst there we ordered some drinks from the friendly lady at the bar. The views across the water from the comfy seats in the lounge area were superb. Based on our experience we would definitely consider staying at this hotel in the future.

Excellent quality of service from reception staff, bar staff, waiting staff, pool staff and cleaners. En suite very good appeared to have been refurbished. The corridors and bedrooms could do with a bit of a refresh. Slightly disappointed with the very few areas to sunbathe on the morning due to the original siting of the pool and terraces meaning the sun was behind the hotel for most of the areas. The hotel is located in a lovely quiet, neighbourhood. All rooms have a sea view with nice big balconies. The rooms with the pool aspect are more overlooked by apar**ents but still peaceful overall. If needed during the night the air conditioning was quiet enough. The hotel and pool area were very peaceful throughout our week stay due to the type of guest that this hotel attracts. Ten to 15 minute’s walk to the nearest bars / restaurants and a further 5 minutes to lots more. Bus stop to Mahon at the top of the road for a 20 minute cheap ride into the capital or only 10 minutes to the road above Mahon marina.

We have stayed in Menorca many times including Ed Castell. First time for this hotel Although the room was small the bathroom was very good, the views were spectacular and the bed comfy. Breakfast was really good with good choices (had lunch a couple of times which was good but we never ate as there are lots of lovely restaurants to visit nearby at Cala Fonts) Hotel was bright and very clean and the pool was a good size to be able to swim Taxis were cheap and the water taxi to Mahón is worth doing We walked to Mahón a few times (if you are fit enough it’s doable) hotel was very relaxing and in a lovely location where you can watch the boats go by

The hotel is located in Es Castell - a small town just outside the capital Mahon. We had a sea view room overlooking the harbour with a stunning view. We booked half board for 10 nights with an evening meal. The hotel has a very nice pool area and staff are very friendly. The outside areas however are primarily given over to sunbathing from dawn to dusk. There are no nice areas for sitting out with a drink overlooking the fabulous views of the harbour if you don't want to sunbathe. The hotel claimed the walk into Mahon from the hotel was 15-20 minutes but I spoke to various peaple who had tested this and found, like ourselves this was unlikely given the walk was across uneven scrubland that joined up with the main road around half way. This took us well over 40 minutes. The restaurant seemed unable to deliver hot meals either at breakfast or for the evening meal where choices were limited with some strange menu combinations. Apart from the views and refurbished bathroom areas which are incredible the rooms are comfortable but dated and in need of general refurbishment. The laminate on the floor seemed to separate on a daily basis leaving large gaps between the planks. Room service was excellent but the rooms themselves were dull. Public transport in the area was intermittent and we had to travel into Mahon bus station to change in order to get anywhere on the island. The transport system seemed to shut down over the middle of the day and resulted in regular us of taxis with large variations in price for the same journey. Es Castell was reported to have a lively a**osphere around the historic square and a picturesque harbour at Cales Fonts. The whole area seemed deserted during the day and the walk to Cales Fonts was mainly down residential back streets with frequent dog fouling. The harbour area is really pretty at night with a wealth of nice bars and restaurants but we played safe and took a taxi back. Didn't stay for drinks too often in the hotel - which was fortunate as when we checked our bill we had been charged over 10 Euros for two small lime and sodas for eight of the days we were there. Overall disappointed with the location with the only saving grace the fabulous views.

We stayed here for a week towards the end of October. The hotel is in a mainly residential area so is very quiet. There were not a lot of guests in the hotel as it was getting to the end of the season but still plenty of staff on duty who were very well trained and polite and happy to help with queries. The room was lovely with a view over the harbour and Isla del Rei and we enjoyed watching the ferries and cruise ships coming in and out of port. Isla del Rei is definitely worth a visit - take the yellow ferry from the main harbour in Mahon. We also visited Fort Marlborough (walkable via lovely Cala Esteve) and Mahon (also walkable - takes about 45 minutes to get to the centre), Ciutadela and Punta Prima/Binebeca by bus. Es Castell is a short walk away and has lots of cafes and bars especially in Cala Fontes though a lot were closing for the season. The food in the hotel was good and always plenty of choice even when guest numbers were dwindling. There were singers on 2 nights but I felt sorry for them as there were not many in the audience to appreciate their performances (final ones of the season). Our room was lovely with a balcony and great walk in shower. The only slight disappoin**ent was that there were only 2 English tv channels available Sky News and Sky Mix (not the advertised 4 BBC channel) but this was not the fault of the hotel but their service provider. So if you want somewhere quiet with great views and a good bus service into Mahon I would recommend this hotel.

We have just returned from two glorious weeks at this lovely hotel. We had a beautiful room overlooking the start of the estuary and the Isle de Rei. The morning sunrise was just fabulous! I had read before my visit that although the walk-in showers had been completed, the rooms themselves needed a refurbish. Well the bathroom is lovely. You have shampoo, bath wash and gorgeous body milk. Beautiful shower area. Such a delight! Yes, the rooms are looking well worn, but my only criticism would be lack of drawer space. If you are staying for two weeks it can be tricky to keep your clothes ‘tidy’ all piled up in the wardrobe. The hotel is blessed with the most wonderful happy staff! Thank you to all we met who enhanced our stay with their positive attitude. Special mention has to go though to Harold at the bar. A true professional! His cocktails never disappointed ! The food in the dining room was really good when we arrived. Lots of choice and of a very good quality. Towards the end of our stay, when numbers dwindled, there was still a great display of Menorcan foods, meats and cheeses. The soup was divine, and the different breads just lovely. Salads were plentiful and varied, and the puddings were scrumptious! There was still always something tasty and different to choose every evening. The chefs were continually checking the food and replacing it when necessary. Cleo and Alexander were great hosts. There was low key entertainment twice a week. Good singers, and we particularly loved the jazz trio on the last evening. They put their own take on many popular songs and did it very well. Es Castell is full of history, and we enjoyed visiting Mahon. You can either walk for about 15 to 20 mins, or catch a bus into the station. From here you can use the buses to visit other places very easily. Or walk down into the town and take in all the sights! There is a fish market and attached to it an area which does tapas and all different kinds fishy snacks. On our last Saturday there was music and it made for a lovely a**osphere. Would we return to the Agamemon? Certainly we will! The views are a delight, always something different going on.
