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

We found the apartments to be basic but clean, no one ever said it was 5 star, we had a 2nd floor apartment and never saw 1 ant or anything else with more legs than me (2). The pool and sunbathing area were always cleaned every evening and the main pool where we spent most of our days has been repainted and now has the depth of each section painted on the side, no flaking paint here !

The Thompson reps were superb, from Rosie and Ben at the reception who always had the info required, to the Kidzone reps, (Rob, Shelley, Mandy, Kay'd & Tasha), they were excellent with the kids. Last but not least the entertainment reps, Paul & Suzy, 1st Class. As an entertainer Paul is the benchmark by which all reps should be judged.(even if he is A Stoke City fan).

The apartemnts around the main pool are the ones to be in if you want to join in with the daytime activities, blocks A, B, C, D, E, F, H & K are situated around this area, Blocks R & X are situated across a small road away from the main complex, although they do have their own pools, there are 5 pools on site all to an equally clean standard.

We were in Block F this time, which backs on to the L'ancora restaurant and we did hear a small amount of noise from here, disposing of empty bottles at closing, NOT rowdy noise, and not enough to wake the kids.

The resort itself is ideal for kids, there is an excellent waterpark about 5 minutes walk from the Talayot, well worth a visit. The restaurants around the resort all serve a very similar menu and most things come with Chips, but we found the food to be good and everywhere had a kiddies menu. The Talayots own restaurant was also very good and if you got in earlyish you got a good seat for the evenings entertainment, which was usually of a good standard.

Overall a very good holiday, our children are 5 & 2, (nearly 3) and they had a great time, we will certainly be going back to this resort and these apartments within the next year or 2.

If you are looking for 5 star quality and a typically Spanish resort then this is not the holiday for you, if you are looking for an ideal base for you to relax and your children to be entertained then this IS for you.

What a disaster! Motor-scooters, Noise, Litter, Ants, even the odd dead rat.

Firstly, Thomson mixed our name up with another family at the departure airport. Then they allocated us to the wrong resort. We consequently missed the transfer coach, and arrived at the apartments to find no room allocated.

Eventually were given a room on the main road.

The noise was horrendous from the traffic, mainly teenagers on motor-scooters till 5am.

The resort was littered with rubbish, broken glass and discarded papers.

Never Again.
