I have now stayed at this hotel twice and have thought it was excellent. The food was superb and the cleanliness was fantastic. The entertainment went on all day and there was somthing for everyone! they have two pools one indoor and two outdoor, the hotel is just thirty miles from barcelona which is very handy. I really enjoyed staying at this hotel and would definately stay there again!!!

This was a holiday I will NEVER forget!

The hotel has a vast amount of activities available throughout the day, for people of any age! At nightime, live performances can be seen in the main bar, whilst activities such as bingo and family quizzes happen in the cocktail bar!

I would like to state that this hotel is a SUPERFAMILY hotel, therefore noise is to be expected....

And as for the statement saying that Pineda is simply a building site, I disagree.. I came back from this hotel around 2 weeks ago, and I have already booked to go back next year with a friend..

Obvioulsy, I am a 16yr old girl, who is interested in different aspects of the hotel.. But I did travel with older, and younger family members, who all found this holiday enjoyable!

I would recommend this hotel to ANYONE!!!
I had a spectacular time!

The food is exceptional, with varieties of themed nights ranging from Mexican and Italian, to Gala!
THIS HOTEL IS NOT TO BE MISSED!

And girls, the entertainment team are GORGEOUS, lol! Especially Charly!! Mwahh, Missin him loads, lol.
Honestly though, the hotel is of high standards and I would recommend it to absolutley anybody!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, GET BOOKING NOW!!!!

We travelled in July 2003 to the Taurus Park and to be honest weren't sure about the hotel when we arrived. The following morning we looked around and thought it was fantastic. We had a family room over looking the sea and the pool and found the room to be spacious and well maintained with maid service every day. We especially liked the seperate room for the kids which made our room great for some peace and quite and an afternoon siesta.

The food was good with a good selection and there is a chef who cooks on hotplates to ensure fresh food is prepared for the guests.

The location of the hotel is a 15 minute walk from Pineda along a recently developed beach side walkway with subway underpasses to reach it. If you don't fancy a walk then the local 'noddy train' runs along the sea front from directly outside the hotel. The hotel is a 1 hour rail journey from Barcelona which worked out at around

We stayed here for 2 weeks in May/June and would recommend this hotel to anyone. We have 2 children aged 6 and 1 and they both had an excellent time.

The hotel is very friendly and excellently run and we had a lovely family suite which overlooked the pool and the beach. The entertainment for both children and adults is excellent and each evening you didn't need to go elsewhere.

The food in the Restaurant is excellent and with a varied variety and there is also a good choice of snacks, etc. during the day in the snack bar.

The beach isn't that good for children as pebbles into the sea, but as the hotel and pools are excellent we didn't need the beach!

Anyway who stays here will have an excellent time - enjoy it!

We stayed at the Hotel Taurus Park in May 2003 and can honestly say this is the best holiday we have ever had. We had a holiday two years previously in Portugal which was the worst holiday we have ever been on so you can image we were a little worried as to what this holiday would be like. We did not need to worry. Hotel was fabulous and spotlessly clean. We had one problem when the shower from the room above us leaked onto our bathroom floor. But one call to reception and a few minutes later a manager was there with a chamber maid was also with him complete with a big pile of freshly laundered towels and a mop and bucket. Food was fantastic (those pancakes at breakfast were to die for!!!). Entertainment brilliant especially Debbie, Mel, Crete and not forgetting Dave!!!. My children had such a great time that the eldest was crying with the reps before we left. We loved it so much we are going back again in June 2004. Nothing is too much trouble and they made you feel really welcome. Pool was so clean and there is plenty of choice on the menu (either in the restaurant or the snack bar (which stays open until 3am). Lovely relaxing holiday and cannot wait to go back in June. Go there!!!! My eldest still keeps in touch by post to the reps. Looking forward to seeing them again.

we came to this hotel in may 1999, it was the only one available at the time, and we have been back year after year, twice in 2002.

the staff are great and if you have been before you will remember Kelli the entertainer yes she is still there, she makes your holiday a special one when you keep coming back.

To be truthfull, when we first came the hotel was in the middle of nowhere but now theres alot more shops and it is away from the bars, so when you go to bed you dont get the noise, and when you take children you have two kids clubs thomsons, and the hotel kids club which twice a week they take them until 11.30 pm, we go with thomsons every year, but now we are getting bored with the flight which is in the middle of the night, so we are going by club cantabrica coach company we will be going on the ferry and through france which we have never done. the taurus park is the one to go.

this hotel is very clean, the staff are fantastic. The hotel is 10 min walk from the town centre, so it is very quiet, which is great if you have kids, its away from the noise, there is three english bars within 2 min walk. the food is lovely they have theme nights 3 times a week and you can just help yourself, theres a childrens section at their level so they can help themselves. The staff are well what can I say we have been here 8 times in 6 yrs, twice in some years. all the staff are friendly the entertainment staff are just lovely, they do entertainment from 10am until 1am they only have there dinner and maybe 1.5 hrs rest through the day.try it once if you have kids you won't be dissapointed.

The hotel itself was nice, very noisy cause it was a super family holiday and there was a lot of kids.

It was very clean had two single beds and a double we had a view over the pool and could see the sea.

I went with my 3 year old son and he lived on sausage for 4 days we were supposed to have been there for 7 days but came home.
If u weren,t there when the doors opened for food you wouldnt get a big choice.

we went out to the police station cause i had my purse pinched in barcelona and when we got back to the hotel at 8.30pm there was no food left just rice with fish in it.

1 night i sat and ate 3 small pieces of crusty bread cause the food was mainly fish left and i dont like fish my son had some chips.

Hotel location was complete rubbish. There was nothing to do around there at all, the only good place close by was the Buccineer pub english bar, it served great meals. if u wanted to go anywhere u had to go on train watch ur bags... thats where mines was taken from.

The entertainment in the hotel was ok, same stuff each night it was mainly for kids and after 9 other hotels usually put something on for adults eg:flamingo dancers but here it started with childrens dances but i enjoyed that cant complain really.

The hotel staff were great i had to talk to one girl about my purse being taken and she said the form i needed was in catalan language so she said she would do it for me they were really helpful u had to pay for a deposit on everything u had tho... if u wanted to use ur phone in the room u had to pay 20euro deposit which i dont agree with but still rules are rules
..... would i visit this hotel again ...... no way if u have children and when they get woken up they dont go back to sleep dont go here cause the noise is real bad we might have enjoyed it if there was anythin by the hotel to do a few shops but all closed. lost a lot of money on this

The Hotel is over the road from the Beach and the
facilities are excellent. The rooms are large, plenty
of hanging space, TV and good bathrooms with hair
dryer etc.

There are four large pools with a number of small
ones and childrens pools. A small zoo, and large
gardens.

The entertainment is quite good and the childrens reps and entertainment is excellent.

The dining room is a bit chaotic at times and the
choices are limited, usual Spanish hotel food.

There is a nice piano bar for adults only later in
the evening and a good snack bar.

The hotel is cleaned everyday, when the maids have finished you could eat your food off the floor. Talking about the food WOW there is something for everyone. I loved the theme nights in which they made a variety of food from one particular country, however some nights you did have to que up for about 20min to get your food.

The beach is just across the road and it is amazing, you could stay there all day (like me).
The location of the hotel isn't brilliant, however you can catch the very funky bus into the main shopping area.

The hotel entertainment wasn't for me but it did keep my little sister entertained, we found a pub called PEPPERS which is excellent, the owners are english and they know how much we all love are football and showed live matches everyother day which didn't fault my dad and brother. When we went it was the end of the season and was very quiet but the weather was still fantastic.

i would definatly recomend it to anyone.
