Close to Menorca's southern sandy beaches and cosmopolitan capital Mao (Mahon) Es Castell is an excellent place for people who want a great base to explore the island and enjoy probably the best location for relaxed evenings out by the water on the island.
Summer peak : Taxis in recent years have been in short supply ( authorities not licensing enough drivers!) , so consider a private transfer from/to Airport especially flights home.
Unfortunately Menorca Airport does not have public Airport / Shuttle Buses direct to any beach resorts. The Airport Bus (no.10) is not a great Transfer option .

Taxi travel seats for Kids
Taxis don't usually carry seats so if you plan on using taxis consider a travel (inflatable) booster seat eg Bubblebum / Trunki BoostApak @Amazon . Seats can be taken on Airline allowance.
Not really as Taxis can only carry a maximum of 4 persons by law ( including ANY age children - they cannot sit on a lap, it's illegal! in Spain where child safety is the the priority ). So you might need 2 or more taxis ( child seats to bring with you ) and this will always be more than booking a private transfer with a minivan or bus . Plus you all arrive at the same time, safely with children in the correct seating.
