Hôtel Taimar

"My stay at Hotel Timar was unfortunately disappointing overall. While the room itself was quite spacious and generally looked neat upon arrival, housekeeping was inconsistent and not always thorough. One of the biggest issues was the reception staff. They were very unfriendly, often coming across as rude and unwelcoming. They were not helpful at all and showed little to no sense of customer service. In particular, there was one gentleman at the reception who spoke only Spanish. This was quite strange, considering that not all guests speak Spanish, and he did not speak any English at all despite working in a front-facing role. As for the location, the island itself has very little to offer. There isn’t much to see or do, and even in the immediate surroundings of the hotel, there are very few activities or attractions available. The food was also very disappointing. Everything was served almost cold, and the buffet was the same every single day. The overall quality of the food was very mediocre. Additionally, the swimming pool was advertised as heated, but this was not the case at all. This feels misleading and seems like a tactic to attract guests under false pretenses. In summary, I would not recommend Hotel Timar. It does not live up to its four-star rating in reality, it feels much closer to a three star hotel."

"Poor location, restaurant shocking! The worst all inclusive I have had! Rude staff!"

"Ignore previous negative reviews, obviously people don't research and then like to have a moan about things for no reason. Just returned from a week at the hotel, yes the hotel is quiet and yes the bar shuts at 11pm, we as a group of 4 was quite happy playing games in the restaurant till midnight and enjoying the peace. If you don't want to stay in the restaurant then you can go back to your room which we also did. I researched prior going and agreed that its not the hotel that you want to stay at if you are looking for entertainment etc as there isn't any, however was really not bothered as meant we got a great nights sleep. Not a place I would recommend bringing children though as even though there were some at the hotel I was surprised as if I was a child I would of got bored easily, should really be an adults only hotel. Great hotel if you are disabled, rooms large, facilities such as ramps, lift etc to make sure you get about. was so nice to see a hotel that caters for people in wheelchairs or those who have disabilities. Food was nice, had different things most nights, not a big variety of things but found this to be better as sometimes you get to much choice when going to larger hotels, found things to eat every night and everything felt fresh, only negative comment would be the Mugs supplied for tea/coffee they felt old and some were quite chipped which was disappointing. The beach is about a 15 - 20 minute walk away and was pleasant enough stroll down. you can walk through the park for extra shade to get out of the sun plus they hold a market on a Sunday which is also very nice. There are 2 mini shops (one directly the hotel to the right and another further along the road on the left) which had everything we needed. If not there are 2 Spa supermarkets and a Hiperdino in Costa Calma itself which are much bigger. Didn't use the pool as spent more time down the beach as the pool was cold and not heated but sunbathed on the roof terrace and had no issues getting a sunbed, bar was sufficient enough and they would have some small snacks available in the afternoon, would say that ice creams would of been nice if they had been included in the All Inclusive and maybe some other items but understand its smaller hotel. Room was spacious, great outside terrace with seating which had the sun for most of the day, Large walk in shower and rain head shower which was lovely! Room was cleaned daily and was very roomy with twin beds (pushed together) and a couch. Large wardrobe and TV, with kettle and mini fridge. Safe was located in the wardrobe however didn't use as had to pay for this at reception. would say if anything that these should also be included and that room was quite light at night from the lights outside the back coming through the bathroom window. Had a walk around the complex, yes there are cats that wander around (some friendly and liked a fuss and others that didn't) got greeted by 3 especially which was nice and you learnt to know the ones who didn't want a fuss. Reception was nice, got greeted when we checked in and got explained things/ where things were. We arrived past when dinner service closes (9.30pm) but was left a plate of cold food for us so we didn't go hungry which I thought was a lovely touch Reception was very helpful when we wanted to get a taxi back to the airport. Overall had a lovely chilled out week and would definitely look to go back again."
