Tamaimo Tropical Apartments - Los Gigantes - Tenerife

We stayed here in August 2008, and after reading so many bad reviews i was a little worried about this hotel!

On arriving at the hotel after a very long journey along very windy roads, i was pleasantly surprised, its a large hotel and the reception area was very welcoming. We got told our room number but could we find it… NO! We had to ask one of the guards and he showed us the way.

The food was ok, breakfast was the best, and lunchtime/snacks/dinner were all much of the same every day, but they were edible and we never got ill from it. Drinks were good, alcoholic drinks were strong.

Entertainment wasn’t good, not for two 24year olds anyway, i guess for kids/families it was ok.

The pools were ok, large and quite deep in areas. Although my white tankini turned yellow from the suncream floating around in the pool.

The worst part about the hotel was the lack of sunbeds and people saving them at 6:30am with their towels (which apparently isn’t allowed but nobody did anything about it). A few days we had to lie on the grass…. not very comfy but had no choice. We did go in peak summer time so we were expecting it to be busy, but even at night time there wasn’t enough seating for everyone to enjoy a drink or 2, so we often went for a walk or took a couple of drinks up to our own balcony.

Best thing about the holiday was finding the beach in Los Gigantes, beautiful setting and lovely harbour to walk along.

The hotel wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. We won’t be returning to this hotel again… but then we never go to the same place twice, we like a variety.
