Tagoro Family and Fun Costa Adeje

We arrived back yesterday from a lovely week at the Tagoro in Costa Adeje with our 2 teenagers age 17 and 19. I was worried at first the place felt quite small and was busy but it did not cause any issues. Also the 2 rooms / apartments we were given were number 28 and 29 which is right next to the outside / poolside bar but again this actually gave many more benefits than issues. The only issues were a few times people would come down and smoke on our patio as its no smoking by the food area and leave there cigarette butts laying around. It could also be a little noisy at times. The positives were we were nice and close to everything and could eat and drink on our patio in private but be next to the bar for drinks. The rooms were huge and the beds were extremely comfy and we were very happy to be so central.

The cocktails were very watery and not great so I just drank vodka and a mixer after a day or two of those. The first day seemed to have better ones but then they changed the cocktail menu and they went a bit down hill. There was always water, soft drinks and beer on self service at the end of the bar by the pool and you had to queue to get anything else but was never too bad a wait. In the restaurant there was wine, beer and water you could help yourself to.

One small but annoying thing that bugged me over the holiday was how tight they were with toilet roll. We ran out 3 times as they would only ever give one new one each time they left any. Luckily we had the children in the next room or could get some from the communal toilets if needed but it was frustrating to keep running out.

The food was nice. The dinner was different themed each evening and we all always found things we liked and ate too much. At breakfast in the morning they prepared fresh omelettes and waffles as well as lots of other options of buffet breakfast. We were big fan of the omelettes. The snack bar by the pool was great. It had chips nearly all the time and then had hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, onion rings and pizza at different days and times so there was always food to have for snacks for hungry teenagers. The snacks finished at 5:30pm and dinner in the main restaurant starts at 7pm until 10pm. Lunch in the restaurant was at 1pm until 3pm. The guy working at the snack bar by the pool was great fun and always happy and singing and putting on masks and wigs to make people laugh.

The pool was quite small and got quite busy so you couldn't swim in it properly but it was big enough to have a plash about and cool off. There was constantly activities going on and 2 of the days they had an inflatable activity centre on the pool. They did water aerobics and another water activities. I really wanted to do the water aerobics but it was always on around 12:30 when I was getting ready to have lunch so I didn't get chance but it looked like lots of fun. There always seemed to be lots going on and loads of activities for kids during the day and there was a board up to show when things were on.

The entertainment in the evening was a bit disappointing, one evening we did sit and watch a singer who impersonated different people such at Freddie Mercury and Prince and he was good fun. Another evening It was advertised that the entertainment would be songs by Robbie Williams, Michael Bublé and Frank Sinatra but when we went there it was all just aimed at the little kids and the songs we had were Ed Sheeran, the macarena, YMCA, pump up the jam and Freed from desire. There was due to be a disco afterwards but the place emptied out at that point and there was just music playing through speakers We ended up spending most of our evenings sat playing cards and listening to our own music outside our rooms so it did not spoil our enjoyment.

We managed to get a late check out for no extra cost which was very handy. Even though we did get phone calls as soon as the time was nearly up to go and check out.

We did the Loro Parque trip which was amazing and I highly recommend it. It did take over 2 hours to get there on a coach but it really is a fabulous day out. We watched the shows of the Dolphins, Orca's and Sea Lions. We also did the Castillo San Miguel Castle Medieval adventure show and dinner which was great and a fun family evening out. It was about half hour on the coach for that one and the price includes your drinks once your inside the venue but there was about an hour before you go in where you have to pay for drinks from the bar in the foyer so be prepared for that. Also we were picked up to be taken there quite early and none of it opens until 6pm so there were lots of people standing around outside for half hour in the hot sun. We really wanted to go to the Sian water park as well but the trips were quite expensive so we couldn't afford to do more but it looked great!!.

There is a shopping centre and supermarket about a 5 minute walk from the hotel which is really handy if you need to get any toiletries or other snacks and bits. On the way to it we discovered a hidden gem!! You have to walk past a bar called Wakanda which is amazing! we ended up going back a couple of times. The seating area outside is lovely and the seats SO comfortable. Some of the drinks are themed from the Black Panther movie so went down well with my family and the drinks were truly amazing!!!. I would highly recommend going here if you like a cocktail and want to chill out in a lovely area, it was always quiet as well so very relaxing just with some music playing.

All in all it was a nice hotel and definitely caters well for younger children.

Class holiday destination. Will defo return. Thanks for all the great entertainment. Entertainment team were fantastic
