Playa Taurito

Vincent Cantlow

Stayed here for our 11 night holiday 3 adults and 2 children. Rooms were adequate but roomy, plenty of storage space. The overall hotel was ok but for 3 stars it was good. The downside was the lifts kept breaking down and my wife uses a electric wheelchair so lots of waiting around. The hotel pool was perfect for the kids to play in lots of room. The water park was an added bonus, great slides and plenty of room. Even on a busy day never really got crowded. The entertainment area was ok, bar, seating and stage shows. Shows were entertaining good to watch. Bar was adequately stocked the normal all inclusive alcohol and even 0 alcohol beers and cocktails for the non drinkers. Staff were fantastic, helpful very welcoming The food at the hotel was OK lots of verity and always replenished with fresh food when trays were getting low. Location of hotel was fantastic an easy bus or cab ride to other locations Great views from hotel and surrounding areas All in all the hotel was a great stay adequate for our needs for our holiday

This is a long one This is by far the best holiday I've ever been on. I usually go abroad at least twice a year and I was honestly surprised. Before going I was panicking because of the reviews I had read but I can truthfully say I never found any such issues. When we arrived it was was late and dark so couldn't see anything and it was quiet outside. When we got to reception a lovely man called Jaafer checked us in. He was very polite hand cheerful for being so late and welcomed us with a beautiful smile and packed lunch with water. Also you can choose which days you would like your room cleaned upon arrival. We were checked in within ins and at our room. The room was clean and well presented, whilst some may not think the rooms are aesthetically pleasing, I had no problem with it. It was very spacious, clean and plenty of storage. The bed was fairly comfortable although I like a harder mattress. When I woke up and went out on the balcony in the morning for the sunrise I couldn't believe the view of the mountains. It was stunning I have never been to such a place. We spent the first day finding our way about which is very simple because everything is within the area. We had breakfast which had a great variety of things with all different types of breakfast goodies. Then we took a walk down to the beach. Now, this is what I was most intrigued about with it being the dark sand. The beach is small but was never over crowded and there are a lot of shops along the front for all types of stuff. Food, drinks, souvenirs etc. the view of the cliffs is beautiful especially at sunset. If you walk to the other side there will s a hotel called princess Taurito and you can go to the cliffs that side too. Make sure to wear some type of footwear because the sand is very hot if you're not used to it. At the hotel there is one pool which at times did get very crowded and seats were sometimes hard to get as people are out at silly o'clock putting towels on them. The pool itself though was warm and we had great times playing there. Unfortunately there were a couple of days in the afternoons it had to be closed because people clearly don't know how to use the toilets that are right next to it. Word of warning, if you are in a public pool and think it's a fart just go to the toilet and don't spoil it for the hundreds of other people that have paid to be there. Also the staff shouldn't have to be dealing with that until all hours. The hotel could really benefit from another pool up on the area where there are only loungers. I'd go as far to say adults only would be great. Lunch was your typical buffet all inclusive which suited us fine as we always found something lovely to eat. Dinner was also very nice with lots of variety especially if you are a person that eats anything you will enjoy it very much. Drinks unfortunately are not great in the all inclusive but are self serve so that was good. Take your own cups or bottles to fill up or it's paper cups which is a bit of a waste as you can only use them a couple times before they get soggy. The water Park is great and so much to do for any age. Yes, it is salt water so be prepared, take goggles if you need them. Also as the water Park is separate from the hotel the all inclusive is not part of it and you need to pay for drinks and anything else. The prices are not too bad but it clearly states this when booking. Also, I would highly recommend taking good shampoo and conditioner and hair oil especially if you already have damaged hair. There are shower facilities in the park you should rinse as soon as you are done in the water. Entertainment was a bit hit and miss but the seemed to have a great time and a few shows I did see were really good. There is an arcade and soft play also near to the entertainment arena where the seating is. You have to get there fairly early though as it gets busy quick and this is shared with the other 2 hotels.There are some good eat shops along the bottom of the hotel and a supermarket that sells anything you may need. It was excellent and I would return

Fantastic place to visit. However avoid this hotel. During our stay multiple people reported having items stolen. On our last day we had some of our stuff stolen. Nike top, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Samsung Tablet and Three pairs of New Trainers brought from Puerto Rico. Our friends who also stayed had items stolen aswell. When confronted the staff just laughed and told us to go away. They were also slagging us off in Spanish. Oh and the lifts never work so if you have mobility issues this is definitely a no go.

I review is solely based on my personal recent experience. I came back on 17th may 2026. I went with my two children ages 10 and 6 for a week. The hotel is nice and clean. The cleaner are working throughout the day to clean. Room were cleaned everyday unless you ask them not to. The food variety was really good. I am vegetarian and there were different types of pastas, fries, pizzas, garlic bread, loads of different salad, massive variety of fruit, cereals, beans, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, spaghetti, mix veg. Which i think was fare. For kids they do fries in breakfast, lunch and dinner with chicken nuggets, cereals and sepeate bakery section with jam, honey and Nutella any much more. Different types pizzas as well. There are 3 coffee machine with milk option as well for kids. The waterpark is right infornt of the hotel but bare in mind the water in waterpark is very salty because its seawater and can irritate your skin eyes eyes. Make sure you use swimming goggles. I honestly loved my stay in LIVVO LAGO TAURITO.

Excellent for families, very quiet after 11pm. But is your die hard up for fun. There are bars open on beach till late. And Puerto Rico is a 12 minibus trip away. .

I really enjoyed club Calla Blanca. It had an exceptional view over the water with stunning sunsets. The facilities were great with a lovely gym and a great tennis court. The pool was very spacious and very enjoyable. Staff were great and very very friendly. The apartments were great including a really good , clean and fully equipped kitchen with a very nice terrace. The master bed was also very nice and so was the pull out sofa bed. The air conditioning was exceptional providing my family with nice cool rooms. For people with disabilities I wouldn’t really recommend because of the graduate climb up to the hotel. They had a very good shuttle bus system aswell. I would highly rate club Cala Blanca

The biggest problem is that, when you buy online, you see only rooms with great view in advertisement, so it looks as great place to stay. But this is true just for rooms at higher floors. If you end in the lowest floor, you will have "nice" view at highway and smell of sewer in the bathroom. Staff is nice and polite and willing to help immediately with small repairs in room. However, re-booking of room can be problem. Rooms are overall fine, even though you can see that they are not the newest. Kitchen is also big plus, because there are no good restaurants nearby. If you decide to stay here, i highly recommend not to pay in advance and make sure, which room you will get before you arrive.

We were absolutely blown away by the Club Cala Blanca, it was perfect in every way. We’ve booked 5 star accommodation in the past that wasn’t a patch on this. Super well equipped spacious apartment, huge balcony with loungers, beautiful food in the restaurant, lovely staff, brilliant aircon in the room. Would return 100%. Keep in mind you have to be keen & able to walk a distance and uphill if you want to go down into the village or beach as, like many resorts on the island, the hotels are built into steep cliff sides around a crevasse. All just part of holidaying on a volcanic rock :) The hotel offers a shuttle bus directly from the hotel to Puerto Rico and to Puerto Mogan so days out are possible while still avoiding the hill walk if you prefer. We would not change a thing about this hotel and will stay again.

Very good although room placement will definetly affect the Wi-Fi connection. Managed to do 3 zoom calls and not disconnect on the Wi-Fi though so that’s good! Service is top-tier, and the staff are very friendly👍 very nice pool and also the sea view is very very good. If you’re thinking of booking however, you will need to be okay with walking for a while to get to the beach/local area (the hotel is on a cliff) however there is a (very rocky) shortcut! There are also taxis so that’s good but please keep in mind if you are elderly or less able to walk longer distances. We would stay here again!!! :)

We had a lovely week here and look forward to coming back. The apartments are on the side of the hill so if you want easy access to bars and restaurants it may not be for you, but we enjoyed the walk down to the beach. If you want a good apartment with great views and friendly staff this ticks the box. The onside restaurant was also very good.

What a fantastic little hotel. Clean, tidy and spacious. Not a huge variety of food but what there was, was of a good quality, food rarely ran out and was constantly being replenished. An extra bonus was there being ice-cream at lunch and evening meal times. Breakfast was a favourite of ours, sausages, scrambled eggs, fried eggs and bacon, the Churros with melted hot chocolate was yummy as a breakfast treat too. The hotel itself was set in a fabulous location, it was set back a little which is exactly why we chose it as it allowed us some relaxation which we were after, when we wanted entertainment we just had to go down in the lift and down there were shops, car and scooter hire, also a supermarket and a nice beach and best of all was a great aquapark. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't understand what some guests expect, after all it's a budget holiday and it exceeded our expectations. We will be back.

We are here currently. For a start, this is NOT a 4* hotel - its a 2 at the very most! The lift from down this hill is STILL out of use. The water feature inside the entrance is off. The food is the worst myself and my girlfriend have ever experienced - probably the cheapest of the cheap products being used. I'd go as far to say the food is disgusting! Its just very bland and not much choice! Ive just came back to our room after dinner and all I could find to eat was plain white rice and one slice of pizza! The food looks vile and it smells even worse! There is ZERO atmosphere at this hotel, its absolutely lifeless! The main foyer area looks like a canteen from a care home, and this is supposed to be where the "entertainnent" happens! The outdoor pool was freezing and just not a nice looking area to be in - ive been to several other hotels in Gran Canaria and the outdoor pools have been heated! There was also NO indoor pool etc and hotel reception told us we could use the sister hotel's indoor swimming pool etc but that we would need to pay extra for that - which we said DEFINITELY NOT to. We had some cocktails which again were probably made using the cheapest of the cheap products! Its as if they pour some alcohol in the paper cup then give it a dash of very sweet and sugary syrup to give it its taste - just disgusting and undrinkable! They advertise a "Piano Bar" and there is a piano im sure, but its covered over with a dust sheet and there's certainly no bar real bar there! Its just a pathetic excuse all round for something you expect from a holiday experience! We will certainly never be back to this hotel and we will be telling our friends and family to NEVER stay at this hotel either! One last gripe is, the hotel room balconies looks out over the street - which is just horrible! Hotel room balconies are meant to have breathtaking views of the sea or at very least looking out over a nice pool area! Honestly people, this is my worst ever hotel stay! We are only here for 3 nights and I think I would cry if it had to be a night longer!

Budget hotel ..only 3 stars. Food great all inclusive local drinks and cocktails. Bathrooms need upgrade. Cleaning in the pool area could be better. We had lovely holiday anyway.

Excellent, the hotel staff are 5 stars. The location is really good, it's right in the center, meaning it's neither far nor close to everything, from transportation to the water park itself, and it's a great place to be with family, including children and teenagers, due to the huge availability of activities in the surrounding areas.

The staff were amazing very helpful, specially Davinia, the hotel was ok. The bed could have been more comfortable. The water park as part of the facility is the only good point. The food was awful. For example, Sunday night's main courses were limited to livers and chicken legs. This is not the standard expected of a 4-star hotel. The variety and quality of the dining options were severely lacking. The management must review this immediately, especially given that many existing Google Maps reviews already cite the poor food quality.
