Hotel Taimar

"A beautiful hotel at first glance. Spacious rooms, beautiful sun deck with pool and friendly staff. Unfortunately, we had ants everywhere in the room, even in bed. This is what we pointed out, to which it was said that the room would be thoroughly cleaned. Upon returning home, this was unfortunately not the case. The food was also not what you would expect from a 4-star hotel. Breakfast was fine on its own, but a lot of the same. Lunch varied by day, one time it was fine, the other day it wasn't great. We had dinner once at the hotel, but after one bite our appetite was gone. The food was cold, tough, and really not good. There was no music or entertainment in the evening, forcing you to always sit on your terrace. Too bad. Overall a fine holiday, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it."

"Location: almost the furthest away you can be from the beach in the whole resort town. This is just a heads up as you need to know this before you book. It is about 20-25 minutes walk to the beach, if you take the walkway from the road towards Bar Africa (open to that hotel's guests only). Atmosphere: no atmosphere really as very quiet around the restaurant area and pool bar most of the times due to no music, no entertainment. Occasionally they put YouTube music on the TV in the restaurant and turn it up so you can hear it. Room: decent size, very good shower, always hot water available at all times of the day. Air conditioning in the bedroom is the only thing that really let it down the hotel experience, as the temperature seemed to be capped at 25C. With it being 30C at night in September, and upwards of 37C in the day - this meant that the room was always very hot! All Inclusive: highly recommend the drink options as all wines come out of bottles, red, white, rose and cava (very popular!!). They also do a few spirits and liqueurs not advertised including a local bitter orange aperitivo to make an aperol spritz (also popular once other people see you with one!). The staff do a great job with the cocktails - shaking the ingredients to order, including pina colada, mojito and s** on the beach. Overall: I'd only reconsider not coming again due to the location, the walk to the beach, and generally the entire Costa Calma resort being a bit run down compared to other places on the island, and other Canary islands which we frequently a lot. Food was average, drink packages above average, cleanliness was fine (daily cleaning), pool area great, lots of sunbeds etc always available - maybe the aircon situation could just be improved."

"OMG THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE! Save yourself from this white walled hell hole 😩 the food is diabolical, the cleanliness is sub standard, the pool and pool area is small but ok, there is nowhere relaxing to sit and enjoy a drink at night unless you are happy staying seated at your canteen table, it’s like being in a nursing home waiting for god 👎 no music or entertainment the hotel is situated at the back of beond I will never come back to this depressing place we stayed at the club magic life in Jandia a few weeks ago for less money and it absolutely knock spots of this place, it’s just about a 3 star and nowhere near a 4 star ??"
