Tauro Resort

“A great week ”

Would definitely recommend staying in one of the villas on Tauro. Large and open spaced with good privacy. A little remote so would recommend getting a car to give you flexibility and allowing you to get around Getting the pool heated was worth the extra euros as well

“Nice and quiet”

Tauro Resort appears quite new and well maintained. As a really great feature the flats are considerably more spacious than usual hotel rooms, which especially for a family is a real advantage (two-room flats). It is in 3 levels, so you can be as much together and apart as you wish. In each room there is a big flat-screen TV (living room and both bed rooms) and in the bed rooms large closets with plenty of room for clothes and stuff. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped, and you can easily cook hot meals for a family. A large fridge/freezer, dish washer, microwave, coffee maker, stove with a large oven, all quite new and modern. There is also a shared laundry machine in the hotel. The terrace is also a good size and could hold a couple of sunbeds if necessary. A mix of sun and shade, morning or afternoon, depending on which part of the hotel your room is in. We had a glimpse of the sea at a distance of about 1,5 km. The road was good with pavements some of the way, and it was save to jog. For golfers, a golf lane (Tauro Golf) ended less that 500 m from the hotel. The hotel is small (50 apartments), so the pool is just outside your door. In the pool bar you can have a standard meal (different kinds of meat/fish, fries and a salad, burgers, pizza etc.) at a reasonable prize with a large selection of drinks, and very nice coffee. And a full continental breakfast for € 5. The staff was nice, helpful and available during day and evening (February - low season). The area seems to be in the beginning of development, and the surroundings are somewhat un-cultivated (lava-hills). So there are no touristic features in the immediate surroundings, which we found to be a relief. Perhaps a car is an advantage, but it is absolutely possible to do without: a taxi to the nearest supermarket (Spar in Playa del Cura) is € 3-3,50 each way; to Puerto Rico € 5-5,50. Drawbacks? Can´t really think of any, perhaps except for the speed of the internet, which I suppose is an issue at almost every holiday hotel these days. And you hear your neighbors quite easily through the walls.

We found this accommodation in the south west perfect for our needs. The location was away from the large resorts in the area and was very quiet and relaxing. The apartment has two bedrooms, a family bathroom, large sitting room, downstairs toilet, kitchen and two outside areas. The rooms all had cream stone floors and were painted in brilliant white, with one wall mirrors and another floor to ceiling windows. Being out of season the pool was very cold and the bar was not open. There are no restaurants or shops within an easy walk so a car is essential; although a mobile shop seems to visit each morning. We would visit again at low season but think it would be too busy for us in high season. WiFi was available in the reception area, the TV only seemed to have Spanish channels.

“Has More Potential For The Future”

Our review is more or less the same as the one by CP Harkin.We had booked at last minute due to a family issue,causing us to change our holiday plans,so didn't research it as we would have liked.The villas are built to a very good specification.Ours was a two storey,two bedroom,bathroon,downstairs … more

Our review is more or less the same as the one by CP Harkin.We had booked at last minute due to a family issue,causing us to change our holiday plans,so didn't research it as we would have liked.The villas are built to a very good specification.Ours was a two storey,two bedroom,bathroon,downstairs cloakroom and a kitchen containing everything need for a self catering holiday. We hadn't hired a car,but used taxis,which were readily available,thanks to Lucy in reception.It cost 10 euros return for the short trip to Puerto Rico,where there are plenty of bars,restaurants,shops etc. The pool bar was just opening for business and was progressing at a pace during the week that we were there.There was a good variety of beverages and a draught lager.Food could be ordered and was reasonably priced. All in all,a very quiet,relaxing break.Staff were vey helpful and frriendly. Untill area has more development,a hire car would be a serious consideration,unless you use the taxi service.
