We stayed for seven days and the bathroom towels where only changed once.

The 'hot' food was only just warm! But I have to say the salad was excellent.

The swimming pool was absolutely freezing and my young son would not go in it.

We stayed in the Apartments which were very clean and spacious. We had maids come everyday and we were left clean towels.

The swimming pool was lovely and clean. The staff and cleaners were pretty friendly and there is nothing really to complain about. We didnt get any bugs in our room and the noise was kept very low at night time -Thanks to the security guards on patrol!

Also as we previously read, there were no security issues during our stay.

Went with a little trepidation to this hotel due to some adverse comments on this site but need not have worried. The Hotel and rooms very clean and well maintained, lovely pools and no hassle with sunbeds but may be a problem in high season.

Cockroaches not a problem, you see more around the outside bars in the main resort area. Went self catering plenty of crockery etc and rooms very spacious (we were in a 2 bedroomed apt) on ground floor.

No problem with security or noise. You can opt for half, full or all inclusive on a daily basis if you get sick of eating out or cooking, we went half board for a couple of days.

Loads to eat and plenty of choice, worth the money of 13 euros a day. Plenty of entertainment and varied. A very relaxing holiday and can be recommended however First Choice not using this hotel next year.

Would certainly go back again

We had actually booked and paid for a double room but on arrival on Tuesday they said they hadn't got any but they could give us two singles and move us on Friday, which they did.

On the Friday they gave us a key to a double room on the fourth floor, when we got in we were disappointed initially because there was no air conditioning (which there had been in the two single rooms) so we thought, what shall we do, shall we go back to the two singles but in the end decided to stay in the double, BAD DECISION!!

That night the noise was horrendous, kids running up and down the corridor all night, lifts rattling up and down, shouting and carrying on, and we could hear every word of a conversation in the room next door, the place reflected noise like a Roman Ampitheatre.

The next day we told the rep we couldn't stay in that room another night, and we got moved to a completely different apartment in Los Christianos. Having said that we did like the pools here, but I wouldn't go back there.

My husband and I stayed at the Taimamo for 1 week from 7 April 2006.

We are both in our late 20s and just wanted a relaxing, quiet week in the sunshine. This is definitely the place to do this. We arrived mid afternoon in the lovely sunshine.

We were very happy with the accomodation at the Taimamo. We stayed in a studio apartment which overlooked the large pool (there are 2 pools on different levels of the hotel). This was ample for us and was very comfortable, and the room was cleaned daily, with clean towels every second day, however, the maid is happy to give you clean towels if you ask her.

We were slightly concerned with the security issues highlighted and got a key for the safe deposit - we had no problems at all in this area, and felt very safe in the environment. They were also security staff on all day and night, and this is a very quiet and peaceful resort and we never witnessed anything to suggest any problems.

We never ate in the hotel as we were self catering, however, because of one days rain we did eat in the Al La Carte Restaurant which was really nice and great value for money.

The facilities in the hotel are excellent, with 2 pools, tennis, snooker tables, table tennis - even a hairdressers is you fancied a makeover.

Overall this was an excellent hotel and we would definitely go back again. You read so many reviews on this site and can get quite worried about where you are going to, but I find that some people will complain about things no matter where they are. Sure, the cleaning staff do tend to make a bit of noise about 7 in the morning when they are starting off their day, but they need to get their work done at some point ! But hey you are on holiday - just get up early for some fresh baked bread from the supermarket at the top of the stairs and then have a siesta in the afternoon sunshine if you are tired.

Wonderful holiday - can't wait to go again.

Excellent room, comfortble beds, beds made daily and towels changed. Personal safety did not appear to be an isue, but we took no chances and carried monies and documentation with us at all times. Will definitely return to the same place at the earliest opportunity. A most enjoyable holiday.

The hotel was very nice, the staff were friendly and polite. When we arrived we could'nt belive the size of our room its was a nice big room, with lots of space, with a fitted kitchen, and living area with a sette, also the beds were comfortable.

The maids were good but on 2 occasions they left the dirty towels in our room and forgot to change them, also forgot to make change the beds. But on the other hand was good.

I would stay in the Tamaimo Tropical apartments again. Its a lovely complex, friendly staff. Cleaning was good.

Also there is a coffee machine available. Very convienient when you arrive late at night.

Also a must these days,internet available.

This is the 16th time we have stayed at Tamaimo and will comtinue to go back .

Although it is quiet here still plenty to do . We always hire a car for 3 days at least it is so cheap 67 euros for 3 days . Lovely area lovely staff and plenty of really nice places to eat out.

New company have taken over and are refurbishing the older apartments, so much cleaner than our last visit .Go to Los Gigantes its lovely there only a 10 minute walk though going it is up hill !!

Going back in September cant wait!

We went to this hotel with resevations as we had seen all the bad reports, however we only payed for a studio and got an appartment with a view of one of the swiming pools which was very clean.

We did not eat at the hotel but used the kitchenet for breakfast snacks etc. The hotel was well situated providing you don't mind all the steps up to the supermarket etc.

We had little to do with the hotel staff but found them polite and helpful when needed.

All the locks have been changed to card entry type and the codes change weekly.

Plenty of security guards around.

Only down side if you get one of the rooms that face the road then you are in for a bit of noise. also the hotel is very open on the side facing the road and I think that there security issues with unauthorised access to the hotel. Play it wise and use the safe.

Use of the safe is expensive but its worth it.
Hotel has two swimming pools which are in two different wings of the hotel.

Pool boys are a little noisy in the early morning dooing their cleaning. Sun beds are chained up until 9am so there are no problems with certain people reserving there spots during the night.!
