Lovely hotel. So glad we came here for our holiday. Free access to the water park. Shame we had to pay for the drinks / food. Only all inclusive if we was in the sister hotel. 🙄 But apart from that. Food was good. Drinks good. Nice and clean. Entertainment outside at night. Lots to do for the kids. Defo only stay for 1 week. All round 5 stars from me.

It's my first time here and it was great. Staff throughout the hotel have been very helpful if needing anything. Rooms are clean and just what you need them for to sleep and relax all rooms have a balcony which is very handy. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious most nights there's a different theme for food eg Mexican, Spanish. Entertainment on nightly dancers singer etc... We went all inclusive which id recommend. Plenty of gift shops, pharmacies and a supermarket. Would definitely recommend and do hope to come back here again.

We stayed recently,excellent value for money.Rooms cleaned daily, staff all very friendly,easy to get beds by the pool.Food is like every all inclusive hotel so no complaints.Location is great.Bus service near by if you want to visit other spots.Beach is a 2 min walk from hotel.Supermarket 50 meters from hotel.Aqua Park is included,only downside water is very salty in park. All in all a great hotel for a family.Kids club was great for our 5 year old.Night time entertainment was very good.

Lovely place beautiful views Lovely water park. Just a shame the all inclusive finished at 11 o'clock. But you can always go to the beach bars which are good fun & quite cheap. We had fun .

Only 2 very small lifts. Out of 7 days, there was 2 days that both lifts were working. I would not recommend it for families who need to use prams all the time or wheelchair users. If the hotel made it so that the staff lift could be used by prams and wheelchairs that would be a good thing.

Just finishing a two weeks stay. My husband and I have had an amazing time. Staff are so nice and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Yes it is uphill but taken slowly it is not so bad. Liked the free bus to take you to and from Puerto Rico and Port Mogan. Always on time. Food really nice Whole hotel spotlessly clean

As at home, you are having your ups and downs but what stays is always caring staff! Ups: - I really like how they genuinely care and all is smoother with WhatsApp support - Welcome home sign! - filtered water at the room and equipped kitchen - every three days cleaning service with towel exchange - best sunsets! - they provided fitness equipment at my terras due to medical needs - hotel provide a shuttle to neighbouring cities for shopping Downs: - my room was located in front of the main street which led to a lot of noise! I would specify this before coming next time to be located in calmer appartment - they are in refurbishment but didn't provide of what exactly. I booked this place due to fitness after injury and they were refurbishing that exact segment during my visit. I recommend to write them prior hand in case you are coming for a specific reason, they are really responsive! - it has a view in sea but the accommodation is located 15 min by walk which was not ideal for my between meetings breaks :) - there is no proper supermarket by walking distance I would put 5* as everything was balanced at the end but the location of my apartment at the main street was quite disturbing my stay! Thank you to all staff for your kind service and see you again!

Great staff, very friendly. Clean and basic apartments and very comfortable beds. A very useful curtesy bus to take you to the nearest towns and ports. Its is up on a big hill, but taxi back up is very cheap if you do not want to walk it. A great water park at the bottom of the hill, walking distance.

Great resort, walk-in shower, big balcony with table, chairs, sun loungers. Inside you've got a small kitchen, comfy sofa and TV. Bed is king-size with a comfy memory foam topper. The English TV channels are limited though on the TV, sky news/ BBC news/cnbc. The pool is salt water and very clean and there is a bar, restaurant and small shop on site. Parking is available if you've hired a car, but book that in advance because the alternative is a VERY long walk down the hill.

Julie Wells

Quite area, steep hill to hotel, taxi on way back. Lovely apartments very well equipped. Spacious clean. Staff helpful & friendly. Deffo come back

Normal range hotel. Very clean and nice staff. The food was good. A lot of variety. Of the three LIVVO hotels is the smallest one and the furthest away from the water park & the beach. It's still walking distance so it's not a problem. Good for families... Taurito is not to big and you have free entrance to the water park, which is very fun.

The room lacked basics, such as mirror over desk area. No sockets there either. No kettle or iron (request for deposit). No tea/coffee in room. We got a kettle, with deposit, but then no cups. So brought some up from restaurant, but was told we couldn't do that, as we need to use paper cups! So, we had to hide cups in room. To stop room service taking them! Room was tired and in need of refresh. Largest towel was not bath size. So that was irritating. We had 3 people in our room, and therefore 3 beds. But we kept having to tell them, to be able get correct number of towels and glasses. There were no extra pillows in room, and they were very flat. So asked for 3 more sets, received 1 more pillow. Chased, but never received the others. Food was not good in our first few days. Over salty, boring choices. Improved a little, later in our 10 day stay. So assumed they had a handover in chefs. Didn't have any cold meats/cheeses, salads etc, as set out open, with lots of flies around. I personally was stuck to find good, healthy options. With salad off my list. Resort is maybe OK for people with small children. But we were a group of 3 adults and with no entertainment or late night choices, it didn't suit us. The Grill Taurito bar on the beach was our only place at night. The hotel 'piano bar', never had the piano uncovered. Lacked any atmosphere, and bar closed early. Even inside the bar at night we had to ask for our drinks in a glass, or you got them in a Pepsi paper cup. Absolutely confused as to how it can have 4 stars.... nowhere near! Wouldn't return.

Staff are really nice throughout the hotel. The whole place is pretty dog-eared and the internet/Wi-Fi didn't work at all. Systems are note great across the complex: we were promised access to the aqua park but the aqua park staff disagreed and were pretty rude.

Jayne Harkin

Great holiday, hotel close to all the amenities. Very clean, most of the staff were very helpful and courteous. Good selection of the all inclusive menu.

Positives: Really impressed with water pressure WiFi coverage and speed was good, but occasionally got nothing despite being connected Nice horseshoe promenade around the beach, filled with entertainment and touristy shops/restaurants, even an arcade! Despite our delayed flight with Ryanair, our connecting shuttlebus, by CanaryShuttles, was great as they took us by taxi at no extra charge Disabled access with lifts and ramps (although they need some TLC) Friendly staff and everyone seems happy & laid back (the Spanish way of life) Food & drink, there’s something for everyone, really impressive daily range Hygiene everywhere was clean and tidy E-bikes were absolutely fantastic, €35 each for the day, and they were top spec, including helmet and lock too. Fred was super! The pizza is top-notch; don’t change your recipe! Most of the staff, especially the cleaners, are super friendly and nice Improvement areas: Aircon powerfulness & noise it makes Bathroom shower curtain & rust Honesty and clarity about what’s included (eg: the spa isn’t on site, nor is bowling, nor is jacuzzi, renting towels is chargeable, etc) seems a bit deceptive; best to have a website and list it transparently The bathroom complimentary toiletries were sub-standard (instead of just two industrial pumps filled with soap, how about 4-star luxury miniature products) The patatas bravas weren’t very nice; too garlicky and funny taste €4 + €5 deposit for locker at waterpark isn’t a very fair price, should be all-inclusive Add price on Pool table coin slots, as the labels have faded Invest in better toilet roll as 1-ply isn’t good enough for a 4-star hotel Staff in clothes shop (Sunny Fashion) to not be so pushy! They think aggressive pressure selling to buy a t-shirt is charming but it’s not nice The water park floor should be swept daily, as the little bits hurt your feet Grease the parasols outside the canteen, because they squeak loudly as they rotate in the wind Ping pong bats and balls to be kept at the pool bar rather than reception (makes no sense!) Negatives: Gentlemen apparently have to wear trousers and closed shoes at dinner (according to the QR code scanned at reception) The ‘sea view’ is very partial in your peripheral vision & there’s construction directly opposite Tiny ants in the bathroom The no-alcohol cocktails (mocktails) were really untasty General: The whole area is very family friendly & family orientated The water park is uniquely filled with seawater, which we liked cos no chlorine eyes! Entertainment is not for young adults; definitely for kids and families Renting a beach sunbed is €3.50 and parasol €3.50 (so two chairs and an umbrella is €10.50 by card only) but it’s for all day; simply check for a seat without a mark on the rear (X marks the spot), sit down, and someone will come round with a card machine & give you a ticket, so you can come and go all day. If you don’t like the food at lunchtime, you could get a burger or hotdog (inclusive) from the poolbar instead Cute and friendly cats roaming the area Annoying birds at lunchtime and be sure to wear Deet for the flies etc Super hot all year round; even when it said 24°c & overcast on Google, it felt like 32°c To conclude: The hotel itself is not that big and only has a swimming pool, snooker table, and pingpong table on site; everything else is a few minutes’ walk away. What’s included in the all-inclusive? Breakfast /lunch /dinner, poolbar snacks & drinks, bedroom bathroom, waterpark, beer & cocktail bar at entertainment area. What else? ACCESS TO (i.e. it’s within reach but chargeable extra): spa, jacuzzi, indoor pool, steam room sauna, bowling, arcade, crazy golf, paddle /tennis, e-bikes, water sports, caricature artist, kids play area, waterpark locker, and more. There are little shops/stalls and a mini supermarket too. The area is generally nice with a friendly vibe (everyone saying Hola to each other), the weather was glorious & the beach was not too busy. As a gay couple, would we go again? Probably not, as it’s very family-orientated.

Decent first holiday abroad for me could of been better with the food as it wasn’t the best and the pool was cool but freezing and the pool staff are not very good. Reception were very good and 90% of the people there spoke English Wich was good as well. There’s also an arcade here and if you wanted some euros for the arcade you can ask reception and they would have no problem. I also dropped a football that I won at the arcade as I was doing kick ups with it but the area is pretty good and I enjoyed 90% off it but the only downsides where the food, pool staff and the water park near the hotel Wich the water was so salty and cold that the sea was less salty. The sports bar was really good if you wanted to watch pretty much any sport as you can request to reception if you wanted to put the football or the f1 with a drinks machine in the room with a pool table Wich me and my family and freind played on all the time. I would I like to comeback here one day Because it was good for my first holiday abroad and a memory from my life that I won’t forget.

Had a lovely stay at the Taurito Princess. Nice room, with excellent all round service. Staying on an all inclusive basis. Plenty of places to chill out, good entertainment and food. Loved the self service areas. Friendly staff throughout the hotel. The spa is nice I treated myself to a manicure and a pedicure. Chilled out holiday Looking forward to returning after the renovation.

It’s always difficult to write a constructive review when you have been sick all week but will try to be honest and fair. I rarely give poor reviews but I am struggling with this one. Just to be clear I fell ill on my 2nd day here with severe sickness and diarrhoea. I have no evidence to say that the hotel was to blame as I could have picked up something en route. I was very unwell and did not want to be left alone but the hotel reception refused to bring any water to the room when requested. My wife eventually went to reception and after an argument was given a bottle to bring back. We generally require very few services from hotels like this but this was extreme (for me ) and the hotel failed to provide an acceptable level of service at the point of need. I need to say that the next day addition water was brought to the room and the staff were helpful and courteous. I didn’t want to give a poor review because of the actions on 1 night time receptionist, thus migrating of 3. In general the hotel is clean and friendly; food is good and varied with something for everyone. I would have preferred it if bottled water had been provided for all guests as many other hotels do in the Canaries; I can’t prove it but feel that it may have been the cause of my sickness. We also noticed a number of other guests were sick during our stay. Hot and cold drinks are always available via bars and drinks machines but no table service for drinks, even at breakfast. One pool is heated and there are plenty of loungers. Lifeguard on duty was very attentive and did a great job of keeping things in order. Hotel provides free bus to neighbouring town on market day. Lots of children’s play areas and activities.

3 of us experienced serious vomiting. During this period we only ate food from the hotel. Other travelers I chatted with experienced the same vomiting! The hotel facilities are a bit old, the bathtub is peeling off, the shower head is rusty when unscrewed, and the washbasin and bathtub often accumulate water (the water drains very slowly) The service was however great, but no one wants to vomit for two days on vacation. So sorry, won't come back

James Dorans

The hotel staff are very friendly. The hotel is spotless, and the food is very good.
