Paradise Costa Taurito

Just returned this morning from this hotel. We did not know where were going to end up as it was a First Choice allocation on arrival. Having just read the previous reviews I was amazed.
The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. The food standard was good, varied and HOT! The room was very spacious, clean and well decorated. Yes the mini bar was empty but as far as we were concerned this was great, as we could fill it with our own choice from the supermarket.
The only real fault was the entertainment or should I say lack of it, and the guest were mainly German or Spanish. We never saw a First Choice rep in the whole week we stayed.
The resort is up and coming so yes there is building works around and there is a lack of bars, shops etc.
But in general have stayed in far worst 4/5 star hotels in our time. Would highly recommend it for a good base to travel the island.

I had the holiday from hell.

*Towels were not changed for 4 days,
*Bed sheets NEVER changed in 2 weeks,
*No entertainment,
*Pool was tiny,
*There was hair all over the hallway floors,
*Beds were never made,
*Minibar was empty and fridge was filthy,
*We had constant bird poo on the balcony - never cleaned,
*Drinking glasses never changed,

*Poor workmanship near the shops, the decking was so weak my foot went straight through it and cut my foot.
The list is seriously endless... please don’t go !

Read previous bad ratings and couldn't believe they were talking about same hotel.
I found the room was very clean and kept exceptionally clean during my stay. The air conditioning ran silently and didn't disturb my night’s sleep.
Staff were very helpful, the food and restaurant was superb, swimming pool great.
Evening entertainment was good. Hotel only 250 metres from the playa with plenty of shops close by.
Loved it so much that I am going back there in September, would recommend it to anybody.

Don't go there you will come back with head lice from this holiday. Hotel is dirty and I’m filing a complaint.
The area is not bad but don't stay at Costa Taurito hotel. I'm never going back there. I should get my money back plus compensation for the distress caused.
