Good result alfie, I know it has been an arduous affair for you so I am glad some good has come out of it.
When in Menorca make sure you leave the hotel and visit the rest of the island. There are only 2 hotel resorts on the island as once these were built along with some monstrous villas the locals were horrified and passed a local law which meant all new buildings have to be in the local style thus thwarting any new mega tourist development. All tourism there is a small local run affair apart from the existing Thompsons and the german company that runs the villas.
The result is that the island is relatively unscathed and untouched! We used to sail around there a couple of times a year when the boat was moored in Mahon. Car rental is cheap if booked locally, not sure what it is like through Thompsons reps.
Make sure you visit Ciutadella one of the most beautiful towns you will ever see and the tapas is yummy and the locals are very friendly. Enjoy, it is the unspoilt gem in the Balearics
