Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & SPA

“Great hotel”

Absolutely love this hotel and its location. We stay here in September, our 2nd visit. We have also booked to visit here next year too. What bring us back here is that we have a toddler with multiple allergies we find this hotel has all foods clearly label highlighting all allergens.

“Cooler than last October but the Sun still shone”

The Hotel was clean and well maintained. Staff worked hard to keep all their guests happy. We were privileged to stay in an apartment over looking the swim up rooms.

The Hotel was clean and well maintained. Staff worked hard to keep all their guests happy. We were privileged to stay in an apartment over looking the swim up rooms. Very peaceful and not too far to walk to the family pool area. Room was nice and clean. Family pool was a bit cold, needed a Rum or Beer before taking the plunge. Warmest part of the day was around 4pm. Unfortunately this year the sea was too rough for Snorkling or Diving but on one calm day we did catch site of an Octopus 🐙. The waves were great fun though - should have brought a surf board. Beware of the small Jelly Fish mid week - some bathers were stung. Food was always well cooked and delicious, great choices for my vegetarian wife. This was a definite plus point. Could do with more Pool Tables as one is not enough, many parents queuing for a game with their children. We had a great time away as a family of 4 (2 Adults and 2 nearly grown up teenagers) despite the hit and miss weather. Would definitely recommend this hotel for any time of the year.

“Not as good as it used to be.”

We returned to this hotel having been three times previously and although it wasn't a bad stay since we first started going in 2019 its unfortunatley looking tired and facitlites/services are not what they were previously. It may sound as though i'm being a moan but its a comparison to what we recieved previously and a description of the state of the hotel. If your looking for a nice place to go thats a strong 3 star with a young family then this would fit the bill. This used to be a Tui Sensatori(now just Tui Blue) which was 5 star and the hotel still claim 5 star but nowhere near it I'm afraid. Remember we had been here before and were well looked after, this trip started with arrival at the hotel where we used to have our luggage taken too the room for us- not now and our room was four floors up with no lift. At reception you used to recieve a refreshment whilst being checked in- not now with less staff on the front desk the length of wait to check in took a while. On check in we were now told the four al a carte restauraunts had been reduced to two and you could only visit one the Italian included with your stay . We did visit the Itialian which isn't great at all and we also booked the T Beach restauraunt which we had to pay extra for, when we visited T Beach there was one other couple in the place and during the meal the electrics tripped leaving us in the dark! The other Spanish al a carte retauraunt is opposite the Sunset bar and was often competely empty. Whilst the payable restauraunts remained empty one of the buffet outlets which most guest used went out of action for a couple of nights, this resulted in massive queues and as a couple being sat next to the kids disco for dinner and having to almost fight for food was not our idea of a luxury holiday although we had a laugh and had to make the most of it. General comments on the hotel, things need updated, freshened up. Night after night we would see people tripping up over the uneven decking boards in the sunset bar and nothing was ever done- not one board but numerous so employees must know in fact must have tripped over these themselves. We did see one guest fall completely to the ground becasue of these boards. On the paths the drain covers are uneven and broken. They have rules regarding towels being palced on sunbeds but these are not enforced and the best beds often have towels on thes prior to the sun coming up. Rooms now look tired. There's one bottle of water in the mini bar - nothing else. The bottle of water wasn't replaced at all and we had to figure out for oursleves to take the empty to a bar to be topped up. Staff- the staff are fantastic and really nice some we recognise from previous years. We all work hard but these guys are really working hard. If your looking for a nice couples holiday in a luxury hotel this unfortunately not for you. If your looking for a nice acceptable resort to take a young family too then this could be for you. We love Cala Tarida village and loved this resort but its a shame as i don't think we will visit this resort again.

“Boring ”

Overall, the hotel is pleasant enough. I didn't like our adult-only room, too small, and too dark. I agree with other recent comments regarding only one a la carte restaurant in the all-inclusive and the add-on prices for certain drinks etc. We had two nights in the Piano Bar all inclusive then... more

Overall, the hotel is pleasant enough. I didn't like our adult-only room, too small, and too dark. I agree with other recent comments regarding only one a la carte restaurant in the all-inclusive and the add-on prices for certain drinks etc. We had two nights in the Piano Bar all inclusive then suddenly it wasn't? Food: day 1 of eating in the buffet and sick and bad on and off for the rest of the week. The food was lukewarm/cold most of the time. I thought the hotel catered for allergies/gluten-free etc, but what was on offer was limited. Unfortunately, when this was taken up with a TUI rep she did not see this from my point of view but her own, stating that she found the warmth of the food to be fine. On reading recent views regarding the temperature of the food, I feel vindicated. We ate at the beach restaurants on several occasions in the evening due to the poor quality, and heat of the food, and the massive queues for the evening buffet that snaked around the hotel !!!! There is not much to do at this hotel and it is not near anything: we were bored rigid in the evenings. Best part about this hotel is the beautiful beach location. Would I go there again: definitely not too boring
