We spent last week at the Talyot Apartments and a week we will remember for some time.
The apartments were on the small side but hey with weather in the 100's you dont spend long in them anyway. Thank goodness for the fans in the bedroom and lounge area! The kitchen area was extremely small and although had basic cooking utensils it was only the toaster and kettle that got used in ours!
We were in block x, not the best by any means,a little noisy from the road outside, the pool that services that section only had limited area around it for sunbathing so we used the one in the main area and whilst it had been partly re-furbished we understand that other apartments looked and felt a lot newer and brighter than ours.
If we went again we would definately request being in the main area, this is where the nicer apartments and gardens are.
We took our youngest, girl 15yrs, without her older brother and sister and we thought she would be bored. Couldnt be further from the truth. Although she was too old to take part in the childrens activities she certainly made full use of the adults entertainment. She made friends of the reps who being young and energetice themselves kept everyones spirits alive and full of anticipation of what was coming next!
Top scores for Liam (entertainment rep) he was a delight to be around. Polite yet full of energy and willing to be part of your holiday.
What more can we say, the pools were busy as you can imagine being school hols so the times when the kids were off doing 'club' activities was a welcome respite!
The charge made for the sun lounger is a little petty but you do get a drink from the snack bar.
Given all this would we go again? if we could guarantee Liam being there, yes!! without him, dont know, not all reps are the same are they.

Just returned from 10 night stay in the Talayots and had the best holiday ever!. Everything was just right and my two sons (aged 5 and 7) didn't want to go home.
The appartment was clean but we would recommend opting for a 2 bedroom appartment as it was just right for 4 and made all the difference plus ground floor(we stayed in p block) as it had a good size terrace and it was near the toddler pool which was still fun for my 2 and it had a fountain and the children loved spashing about in it. The kids clubs are brilliant.
All staff gave 100% and Liam and Emma were in a class of their own (looking forward to seeing Ryan and Liam on childrens Sat morning tv!!!)
Would recommend going on the "beach bonanza" trip as Son bou has a fabulous beach.

The apartments are of a good size, however there is a constant damp smell throughout. The sound proofing is non-existent and if you are in a downstairs apartment then you will certainly hear the people above you if they venture onto their balcony - its directly below the main bedroom! The swimming pools are fairly small and the sun loungers are backed up in rows as there are buildings either side which prevent a good walk around area. It seems they have tried to squeeze the pools in and not thought about the ambience of the place. I've been to far better pools and would say this is one of the worst. The hotel is situated on a 'main road' so to speak, but we didn't find the traffic a problem or overly noisy. We have been on other superfamily holidays and felt that we could base ourselves in the apartments mainly with the odd trip out every now and again, however with this set of apartments, we would have gone mad.
Thats the main complaints out of the way, so on to a few good points - the reps are excellent and the kids really enjoyed the clubs. The nearby supermarket was reasonably priced, although fresh bread is hard to come by.

Apartments were very clean and spacious.Ideal size for two childern aged 4 and 18 mths.Very impressed with the fans in each room,made the hot nights much more comfortable.
Only complaint with accomodation was that the ground floor apartments had terraces that were not sectioned off,my young children could get to the pool and rest of resort if on the terrace.As a result we had to leave terrace door shut.
Apart from that,very nice.Noise from playground slighty OTT but that was due to the fact that we were right next to it!

I stayed at this hotel in May and I really thought highly of it.
I thought it was great hotel and good for children. We stayed in block h and we were right next to a childrens play area witch was good.
The pools were very big and there was one for children as well. I would defenitly stay at this hotel again it was great.

the reps luke and adam was excellent they really gave it 100% every time they went to do there job,i really enjoyed waterpolo which everyone joined in.
the hotel staff, raquel was a real helpfull girl will do everything to help you in anyway possible,then they was antonio the waiter fantastic man all the staff excellent i would recommend it to anyone to go there,i will certainly go back.
the rooms are spacious and well looked after bright and have all mod cons. the location of the complex was good, you got a supermarket on your doorstep with all your well known brands and fresh bread,there is a waterpark about 5mins walk to the right of the complex which is fantastic for all ages and very good prices and not a rip off once you are in there.
there are lots of resterants to try out all with in 1 mile stretch on both sides of the road. i will deffinatly be going again in september 2005 with my family again.

Visited the Talayot Aug 2003. In our party there was 2 adults, 1 child (13) and 2 infants (18 & 4 months).
The complex is split into 3 sections, all with there own pools, although you can use any of them. There is a small charge for the sunbeds but if you had no change on you, the guy wasn't really bothered. We were in X block, which is at the back of the complex, and I think we got the best place to be. It was very quiet and you could get a sunbed no problem. The apartment was really nice (I have been in worse). The utensils, like pans, were brand new and there was even a hairdryer in the bathroom. We only asked for 1 cot but they gave us 2 which we thought was good. However, some of the apartments in the main block have been refurbished (they are really nice!!!) and they also have extras like microwaves and ovens.
The bedroom was very hot on a night time but you can hire fans really cheap. You can also hire buggys, highchairs and towels etc when your there.
Main moan was entertainment for children not in the 3-12 age range. There's nothing for the older ones, we assumed there would be things for our 13 yr old to join in but there wasn't. Lots of soft play areas and slides for the young ones and theres an area full of Little Tykes bikes/cars/houses.
Usual holiday entertainment in the bar area every night and the main strip in Cala Forcat has lots of restaraunts and bars.
Really enjoyed this holiday and would definitely go back

I am only 14 so adults may like Talayot better than i did but for others my age yous may not enjoy it very much. I have just returned home from two weeks staying at Talayot. Overall I would rate it as OK. I would not say it was my best holiday. The accomodation was fine the bar guys were funny and the food and drink was alright. Apartment was alright too. Although we were in M5 (Entrance next to main road) so it was noisy. We had to hire a car to get about to better places Cala n forcat doesnt have a decent beach only has a few coves that are small and mobbed. I wouldent rate the restaurants in cala n forcat my whole family was ill. I was the worst though I was actually sick and spent a day and a half in bed. The internet room was rubbish but thankfully there was a reasonable intrernet cafe nearby. The telly was good though they put on big brother, music channels..etc and the arcade games were also of an alright standard. I dont know if i would go back to Menorca theres a possible chance but i would not choose Cala n focat again. There was too many stuck up people at Talayot that was one of the main annoyances. Found a few ants about but we didnt bump into any @#%$ roaches! Luckily. Well thats all i can say i give it 5/6 out of 10.

My husband and 2 children (age 6 and 16 months) and myself have just returned from a fortnight at bthe Talayot Apartments.
The apartment was basic but very clean and was cleaned every 3 days. We hired a buggy, a high chair and a cot and all were of the highest standard, in fact the high chair was better than our own at home.
The pools and all surrounding areas were cleaned every morning, as were the paths around the complex.
The Kidszone reps were first class and always had time for the kids - even on their days off or after their work hours. The resort reps Rosie and Ben were very friendly and extremely helpful. The Thomson entertainers, Paul and Suzy were great fun and worked hard to get people to join in the many and varied activities and evening entertainment. The Reception and Bar Staff were pleasant and helpful and always willing to help. We ate in several restaurants in the resort, the Chinese behind the open air church at the roundabout was fantastic. Other good choices were Las Brasas, Cuore and the Talayot Apartment's own restaurant itself. The water park looked fun but we didn't go as there were so many activites on site, although others we spoke to said it was excellent. The outdoor inflatables and fun parks were all quite safe and well looked after. We will be going back to Cala'n Forcat and will be staying at the talayots again as we had a fantastic fun filled holiday and would recommend it to any family
