Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos

About Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos

Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos stands on Francisco Borja Moll in Ciutadella, Menorca, half a kilometre from the old capital's cathedral, palaces and narrow port. The three-star hotel records a guest score of 4.8/5 from 109 reviews, and its strongest argument is position: the car can stay parked while you walk into the historic centre for dinner. Couples on short breaks and families who want a fixed base in town are the natural fit, and the 24-hour front desk suits late arrivals.

The 4.8/5 score from 109 reviews is high for a three-star property in Ciutadella, and it comes with practical extras: free wifi, free parking and a front desk that never closes. Expect a simple, well-placed town base rather than grounds to wander. The island supplies the days out: coves, prehistoric tombs and the Tramuntana and Migjorn coasts are all within reach of the address by car.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella is Menorca's old capital, and the hotel sits at its edge, 0.5 km from the lanes around the cathedral and the palaces, and from the narrow inlet that serves as the port. Evenings here mean a walk to the water to watch the sun drop. Shops, cafés and the everyday business of a working town are within that same half kilometre, so the address removes the need for a car after dark.

A car helps for the rest of the island. Cala Turqueta is 10 km away in a straight line and Cala Galdana 12.7 km, both south-coast coves where parking fills early in summer and some access is limited in season. The Naveta des Tudons is 4.7 km off, Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 21.8 km. In July and August the town is busy and the coast roads slower; in May, June, September and October the same drives take less time.

Rooms and facilities

Listed facilities point to a practical town hotel. Free wifi and free internet access in the lounge cover messaging home and light work; luggage storage and a safe handle the rest; express check-in and check-out shorten any desk queue, and the 24-hour front desk means a late arrival is manageable. Wheelchair accessibility appears on the list, though the detail is worth confirming with Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos before booking.

Two things deserve a quick email before booking: which rooms are adapted for wheelchair access, and how the free car parking is allocated. Parking is listed, a genuine advantage in a town where street space is tight, but the arrangement is best confirmed directly with Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos. Ask too about beds and space for a family group, and mention a very late arrival so the desk can note it.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) lies 36.1 km away in a straight line, south-west of Maó. From arrivals, the simple options are a hire car, a taxi, or a bus into Maó with a connection west. With luggage and children, a car collected at the airport is easiest, and it doubles as transport for the south-coast coves. Allow for the crossing of the island's middle, past Es Mercadal.

By sea, Maó port is 38.5 km from Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos, while Ciutadella's own port handles the Alcúdia crossing and overnight sailings from Barcelona. From either, the final leg is by road. Timetables for buses and ferries change with the season, so check the island bus operator and the ferry companies before fixing plans. Flights thin out in winter, when a hire car booked ahead is wise.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest coves on the list are south-coast: Cala Turqueta 10 km away and Cala Galdana 12.7 km, both reached by road. Ciutadella's own inlet and the old town at dusk are 0.5 km from the door. For prehistory, the Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped tomb, is 4.7 km away and makes an easy half-day. Arrive early at the popular coves, where car parks fill and some access is restricted in summer.

Cheese with the Mahón-Menorca protected designation of origin appears on most menus, often with olive oil and bread. Caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells on the north coast, is the celebration dish, and the island's gin habit dates from British rule in the 18th century. In Ciutadella, 0.5 km from Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos, choice is widest in the evening, since the town eats late.

A day from Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos

Start with Ciutadella on foot: leave Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos and cover the 0.5 km to the cathedral, the palaces and the port before the day heats up. Drive next to the Naveta des Tudons, 4.7 km away, for a short look at the prehistoric tomb. Continue south to Cala Turqueta, 10 km from the hotel, for a swim; go early, because parking is limited.

Late afternoon can go two ways: Cala Galdana, 12.7 km away, for a last swim, or the drive to Es Mercadal and Monte Toro, 21.8 km from Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos, for the island's highest viewpoint at about 358 m in softer light. Then return, park, and walk the 0.5 km into Ciutadella for the evening paseo and a late dinner; the walk back to the hotel is short and needs no car.

Practical tips

Every stay at Hotel Romantic Los 5 Sentidos carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the accommodation; the amount varies with the accommodation category and the month, drops in low season and for longer bookings, and children under 16 are exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current rates. Ciutadella stays open in winter, but many of Menorca's seasonal hotels, beach bars and boat trips shut roughly from November to April, so confirm this hotel's own dates; July and August are the fullest weeks.
