I ask because we're now on the fence about going or not. I just don't know if it'll be worth 20+ hours of flying each way with a 2 month old for a resort vacation. 
I'm definitely open to people talking me out of bailing on this trip, if you have any opinions to offer!! |
There are a lot of resorts in Menorca - this seems to be the majority on the island. That said, we found a non-resort hotel (Hotel Agamemnon) to stay in and base ourselves out of. So far in my research I've found a gin distillery (YAY!) a vineyard (YAY!) a cheese making place (YAY!), plus a few forts and some neat stone megoliths. Add in beaches, hiking, touring the towns and I think we'll be fine for our 5 days. That said, we're not hauling around a kid, so we have a bit more flexibility.
