Angela Newport visited here on August 2008
We choose this resort as we wanted somewhere quiet. This is exacly what we got.. lovely little place with 2 beaches - one was tiny but lovely and then you go over some wooden steps to get to the other side where there is a much bigger and less busy beach. Fornells is in the north and beach here is a bit more rustic but certainly does not smell like sewerage which someone said in a former review! Definatley worthwhile to rent a car as fornells is tiny so not much else to do except stay at poolside or go to fornells beach and we wanted to explore the island. Other beaches on island which are ...
worth visiting by car are Cala Mitjana and Cala Macarella (have to walk to this one for 40mins over mountain) but definatley worthwhile even with 2 small kids as it is SO SO beautiful in little coves.

Margaret visited here on June 2007
The location is very pretty and unspoiled with lovely views and is very quiet. More suited to older people and families with very young children as older children could be bored in the evening.

There are only a few restaurants but they are all of a high standard with exceptional service and good food try the Reclau on the sea front the views are worth it alone even if you only go for an afternoon drink and the food is amazing. (Ask for directions as it is quite hidden away from the main resort area).

The whole area of Cala Tirant is spotless and the small cove and beach is perfect for children as the sea is very shallow and ...
the beach has a lifeguard hut with manned lifeguards at all times.

Some reports I have read are appalling and do not in any way reflect what the resort is truly like. I cant believe the people who wrote the bad reports visited the same place.

I was going to change my holiday after reading some of the bad reviews I'm so so glad I didn't I thought the place was perfect and would definitely go again. Cars are cheap to hire and because the island is so small it is very easy to get around if you want to get out and about.

Also the bus runs to Son Park another pretty resort and also into Mahon which is well worth a visit. Its the second time in Menorca for me and is one of the places I will return to again and again I just love it.

I will also definitely go back to the Tirant Playa

Joni Lampard visited here on October 2005
The resort is in a very picturesque location but no where did I find reports that prepared us for how isolated it was.
Four restaurants of which two were closed,two supermarkets
one cash point which was out of order all week and the only bar open was at the hotel.
Thank goodness for El Cactus restaurant which served excellent food.
Buses do run from the resort but only three a day to Mahon and two a day to neighbouring resorts. The beach area was dirty and the sea full of sea weed which made it unpleasant.

Melissa Farrar visited here on September 2005
The resort was really quiet with only 3 restaurants and 1 bar. There was no entertainment at all in this resort. The beach was filthy. The bus service to take you out of the resort is very reliable if you feel you need to escape.

In a peaceful hillside location and set in beautiful gardens, the Tramontana Park Apartments provide a high standard of modern accommodation. In an elevated position within the resort, just 800m from the sand shingle beach.
