Tamaimo Hotels

Near the beach and the center of Santiago. Pools great and staff are friendly but many times the front desk had a long line-up. The beds are not comfortable and there is no coffee/tea in the rooms.

Food

the view from the balcony of the room was really nice. hotel is close of the main actractions (Los Gigantos,Las Americas...), 200mt to Playa De Arena. The staff from the bar wasn't polite.

The hotel was well run and the rooms a good size. The swimming pools were very cold, even the heated ones. The pull out bed very uncomfortable. The location was not the best. The booking received from Booking.com was for only 2 people when we had booked 4.

It was only for one night.

Price was the only good thing but don't be fooled - you get less than you pay for here. False advertising. No airport shuttle, no free parking, no safety deposit box. Clientele is all families, really young couple looking for bargain and lots of skinhead/football types hanging team logos from balcony. Stay elsewhere. Pay more and have a nice holiday. It's also too far from beach and town center. Plus the beds are small and very uncomfortable.

Nice pools but very cold, the kids loved them though. Accross the hotel an great Italian restaurant Suaco! We just used the pools and the room. We enjoyed eating out and the day trips. Good little supermarket around the corner. Typical All Inclusive hotel with mainly Brits and Germans, some Dutch or Scandinavian. We did not eat at the hotel. Rooms were very sober and not clean. Inventory not complete but after asking we got everything. Kids club is poor. Poor entertainment. Noisy bar. Although not allowed by the hotel staff, all sun beds were taken in the morning by laying towels on them. Cockroaches in the garden, not in the room. 10 minutes walk to the beach. Building in front of hotel blocks most of the ocean view. Rooms were not cleaned on two days (they forgot).

The hotel makes an excellent base from which to tour the island by car, potter round the resort of Puerto Santiago, take a trip from the marina at Los Gigantes or enjoy swimming from the black beach at La Arena. The food is interesting and plentiful and the staff friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the free air conditioning makes sleeping a lot more comfortable when the temperature is 32+ degrees C. All the single beds were rather too firm for our liking and the sofa beds/settees are old, broken and really do need replacing.

The young man in charge (I think) of your entertainments was extremely helpful and pleasant, especially the first day when my husband was unwell and I needed some lunch on my own but was not on full board.The junior suite was very spacious and pleasant. The smell in the bathroom, the smell of food in the reception area, the smell of drains just outside the hotel and the oppressive warmth of the dining-room.

the hotel is pleasant and friendly and the food is very good value for money
