Death trap poorly fitted door glass with no rubber seal so glass was on metal sliced my daughters abdomen and leg open .she and the whole family had a real bad time in this hotel and every room we seen was a accident waiting to happen, no safety glass no warnings just hell on earth. With food to match!

Fabulous family holiday with a great animation team at the hotel!
8 years 1 month ago
We have just returned from this hotel and are looking to booking our holiday for next year already. It was a truly fabulous holiday and all the family loved it. The food in the hotel was good, the animation team made the holiday fantastic and the team were brilliant with my daughters. We loved all the shows that the animation team did during our stay!

The local water park was fantastic for the family and we spent everyday there during our holiday. The apartment that we stayed in at the hotel was a little tired due to its age, but it was clean. Another positive to the holiday was that the beds and towels were changed on most days. The staff at the hotel were friendly and the service was quick.

Overall I would say this was an excellent family holiday with some fantastic memories and we will definitely be returning in 2017. We rated this a 5* holiday.

Stayed here in Nov 2012, lovely hotel, modern and plenty of facilities to suit all guests. Hotel is situated on a complex of 3 hotels owned by the same company. Clean and comfortable rooms and lovely pool with a few chutes and slides where we spent every day, only gripe was we had to pay 2 euros each for a sunbed each day, which when you are a family of 5 works out expensive over the week, although it was free entrance for Lago Taurito guests so that made up for it! We had to use pool there rather than the other poll as it was much bigger. The other pool was tiny and the sunbeds were crammed in a small area. They were shoulder to shoulder and head to toe together.

The restaurant food was nice with a varied selection. Also chefs cooking fresh steak, chicken, chops and fish which was good. All inclusive drinks were not too nice though, my husband hated their beer and the wine was horrible to. I don't know if you could pay for premium brands, but I stuck to soft drinks!

Entertainment was good, lots of staff organising activities all day and evening entertainment. Kids loved the nightly hotel club dances!

Complex has its own parade of shops selling souvenirs, gifts, inflatables, clothing, shoes etc as well as a supermarket. Also there is an arcade with computer games, table tennis, bowling alley, basketball machines etc and small rides for under 5's. Bungee trampolines too.

There is also a small dark sand beach with a few cafes and bar. A few water sports on beach too.

Taxi and bus ranks right outside the complex for trips to Puerto Mogan only a few minutes away and Amadores and Puerto Rico a little further.
Overall, a good enjoyable holiday would definitely return.

Friendly Aparthotel
12 years 4 months ago
A homely, friendly Aparthotel of 3 stars. You pays your money and get value for it.

Yes the furniture has run its shelf-life but with a relentless turnover of occupants one can expect nothing much else.

The cleaners were in 5 out of 7 days and left a good clean place behind them.

The food was second to none. I would give 5 stars for variety, taste and presentation. The restaurant was roomy and well laid out. Drinks on tap (AI) and freely available. Pool bar in the afternoon served a wonderful Sangria or 2 or 3! Night bar outside the staff after one order remember your drinks order with remarkable recall and with a joke and a smile.

Couldn't fault catering and watering.

We stayed at Lago Taurito in October and had such a good time that we have booked to go back next year. We stayed at the hotel for a week and it was nice to not have too many English there. The mixture form all the hotels was really nice and the Animation Team were fantastic with their knowledge and standards of the languages.

All the staff at the hotel were really friendly. I read a review saying they were rude and didn’t speak English. I did not expect them to speak English. We always said please and thank you in Spanish and used their names (they all wear name badges) and this seemed to make a huge difference.

The hotel was clean (there was always a cleaner about at some point) and nothing was too much trouble from the reception staff.

There is one bar in the evenings where the entertainment was staged. We rarely had to wait long for a drink and the animation team were great each time. Yes they mimed a lot but this was because they used the recordings from West End shows such as Grease and We Will Rock you. We couldn’t say we were bored at any point in time.

There is a night club on site which you can’t hear from outside, this is located in the middle of the water park. There is a happy hour between 12-1 which was when most people went there.

The only down side was the water park was undergoing maintenance while we were there. One side (with 3 slides) was open for use and it was still enough for all those there. The park was due to reopen during our stay but like most building works this never happened. This didn’t seem to bother most of the other people there either.

Mogan and Puerto Rica are only a few minutes away by bus and taxi and we would recommend Mogan. Puerto Rico was very built up and starting to look a little shabby to be honest.

Playa Taurito was the perfect location for us as we wanted to relax, have good food, good drink and be entertained in the evenings. We knew there were other places nearby if we wanted to venture out but for the one week we found this to be enough.

We know for our next trip there are shops with all the lotions and potions we could need, plenty of large (and cheap!) water bottles and would recommend this location to anyone.

this is a basic but pretty hotel, the staff were very friendly,we considered the nighttime entertainment to be poor, but it could have just been the weeks we were there.the food was adequate, and always a chice.we found it difficult to get served at the hotel bar as most of the time there was only one on duty. there is another bar belonging to the hotel were the entertainment is on but you have to pay for your drinks, but they are half price for the all inclusive guests.I would not return to this hotel because there was not enough for us to do.

There is an area in the centre of the complex where there is entertainment in the evening.
There is a water park in the middle of the complex, with tubes shoots and slides suitable for all ages, the water is salty so goggles are a good idea if using the slides...the water was warm when we went...which was usually late afternoon, after the july sun had been heating it all day. I didnt go in main pool but sons told me the water parks water was warmer.Plenty of sunbeds .

We have just returned from a very pleasant weeks stay at the Lago Taurito. It is a very attractive hotel internally, good spaces within the hotel.

It was clean and our room was cleaned at least 6 days out of 7 and towels changed 3 times during the week.

The food was good. Lots of choice and drinks are in glasses which is nice. The pool area is also nice and the raised section near to the jacuzzi is less cramped than the main pool area. The pool bar staff are very efficient and quick.

The location is fine if you just want to lie by the pool and not venture out as there is not much else to do. A week is plenty. There are no bars and only a couple of small shops.

Entertainment is what lets this hotel down. The entertainment area is very cramped and must get extremly busy during August. It was the usual stuff that gets a bit monotonous.

We enjoyed our week here. It was very relaxing. It's certainly a good 3 star hotel.
