SBH Taro Beach Hotel

most mature and German people, clean, staff helpful. Hotels could do with touch up, ceiling fell off on my balcony, hairdryer works for very short time, over heats. Alot of food or tho very similar over 7 day period. You can get plenty of drinks up to 11pm and some entertainment, was not good, night club not too far and couple pubs saved us.

A man broke in our room during the night, this is an extremely serious situation, as no one would ever expect to be so unsafe in an hotel of this category, and getting robbed or be victim of aggression in their own room while they sleep, even less women travelling alone. I am reporting below the email we sent to the hotel manager to which we had no chance to speak with despite our efforts and who preferred to ignore it (despite confirmation from the hotel staff the email was received), as it is self explicatory of the situation, The manager behaviour makes it clear this is a recurring issue and not an issue they intend to resolve, given that no one from reception to security to the police were surprised of it happening.

peace and quiet

this is a filthy disgusting hell whole. rooms are disgusting , outdated.! please don’t get me started on the sofa beds in the lounge. i’ve been bitten.!! shower broke my husband had to fix it. the bathroom was beyond filthy. we were told by receptionist to lock the doors and patio as thieves. we hate it that much we’re travelling home 4 days early .!!

We were very happy with this hotel as a couple. We have been to several all inclusive hotels, and although this isn’t the best overall, It’s still incredibly good. The pool is nice, whole hotel very clean indeed. Main restaurant is good, with all inclusive alcoholic and soft drinks on tap. We ate outside on the tables outside the restaurant most days as it was a bit quieter and more romantic. Food choices in restaurant were plentiful and to suit all. Prawns, chicken, pork, beef, goat meet and fish have all been available throughout the week. Plenty of fresh salad, pickles and coleslaws along with fresh bread. Breakfast is also good, salad, eggs, cheese, ham, bacon and cereal all available (and much more). The hotel location is on the beach which is great for safe swimming. Snorkelling on this beach is brilliant, especially around the rocks on the left. The beach is very long and is a beautiful walk from one end to the other, especially in the evening, Evening entertainment could definitely be improved upon. There was a quiz night, bingo but the best night was a solo guitarist who played songs through the decades. Not a lot else to do in the evenings as the hotel is in a quieter location, though there is a small market opposite and a car hire centre around the corner. (We hired a car for a day and went snorkelling at Morro Jable) which is definitely worth a visit. There was a snack bar at the hotel but afternoon cakes were not great. All the nice ones were gone very quickly and we were always left with very processed cheap croissants and buns. But drinks available all day. The one thing that would take this hotel up a notch in my opinion, is the friendliness of the staff. There were a couple of excellent staff, an exceptional barman who worked in the evenings and a lovely lady who cooked the eggs in the restaurant! They always said hello with a friendly smile and made us feel welcome but in the restaurant this is very much missing. The staff are not that welcoming and don’t make an effort to smile or make you feel welcome. If this was improved, it would make a huge difference to this hotel. Overall, definitely great value and a great holiday!
