Taurito Princess Hotel

This was our third stay at the Princess Turtio in Gran Canaria, and overall it continues to be a very nice hotel. The facilities are clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are generally friendly and helpful. It’s a place we’ve always enjoyed coming back to, which says a lot.

However, I did experience an issue this time. My Apple AirPods were taken during the stay, and I could see their location moving back and forth from the hotel on the Find My app. Eventually it stopped, which suggests the staff may have spoken to whoever was involved so they wouldn’t leave the apartment complex in the north of the island and are still currently there as I can still see them and each headphone. I appreciate that the hotel seemed to take some action, but it was still disappointing to have something stolen during an otherwise great holiday.

I sent screen shots to the hotel / guest services staff member as to the location at the apartment complex so hence why they don't leave there now as its clear the staff member has been told.

I have seen other issues with people staying here and money has been stolen from rooms etc so would recommend using the safes etc

Just been on a family holiday to the princess taurito ! The hotel is is a good location on the beach and water park is just outside the hotel, the atmosphere has a good vibe we didn’t venture out the hotel on a night but there is some beach bars just outside which always looked busy, The rooms were immaculate and had good view we were on floor 9. This hotel was good value for money as there was plenty meal choice to choose from we were on the standard all inclusive and it was great good drinks also 🍷 The staff were all so friendly and the entertainment on a night was well organised and good choice we had a few live singers and magician show and also went down to the bingo and kareoke later in the night, I have seen a few complaints about noise level but we didn’t experience this at the end of the day everyone is on holiday to have a good time and if there was nothing going on it would be boring. I will definately recommend this hotel to friends and family no faults at all about anything.

So we were skeptical after we read a few mixed reviews. Tui made it sound very appealing and ticked the boxes we asked but it didn't really piece together in the end. Food was poor - the buffet is questionable, partner was ill a couple of days, not sure exactly what but she did have fish both days. The food hall is mayhem in the evening we had allergies to deal with too. So you get an allergy card you give to the restaurant manager and they sort this for you - wrong. They were so poor I took my daughter out to eat. They just don't really give a single F. The best food was the build your own burger at the snack bar, if you can eat that all week then you'll be fine. Rooms - not bad at all, spacious, clean, and very cool. We had an issue with one room as the AC was faulty, not great at midnight when you arrive but what can you do. They attempted to fix it the next day or two but still noisy on the high setting. We stayed in rooms 326 and 330. Too much trouble to put rooms next to one another I suppose. activities - swimming pools are fab, the whole family loved it. You'll struggle to get sunbeds around the main pool but there LOADS along the smaller pool and kids splash zone which the kids really enjoyed. However...some activities we attended just didn't happen, we set up to watch the acrobatics but it just didn't happen, the pool party just didn't happen. And beer pong, darts, and archery are adult only not 13+ to say my kid (16yo) was disappointed they couldn't do archery even though we checked the day before would be an understatement. And after 6pm there is nothing for the kids to do, we often just went up to the room and played cards. Very boring. All Inc - it's very selective, local beer, meh. Spirits are very questionable, none of the drinks taste right and I'd say are watered down. And everything you'd like to drink costs a bomb. Cocktails all pre made juices and often or not there were chunks and bits floating around in the plastic cups or from the machine. Not sure. Location was brilliant, right on the beach which is great, with plenty of shops, pharmacy, water park across the road. Highly recommend the sunrise to sunset bar/restaurant on the beach. There is a princess Taurito bar on the beach but it's always empty because even with All Inc they charge for everything. You'll see for yourself when you visit. It's not a bad hotel but it needs to improve, it could be absolutely incredible if they sort more entertainment in the evening and sort the food, it's not hard to be better prepared for allergies. But it wasn't worth the £4k
