SBH Taro Beach Hotel

Close to beach. Nice small hotel with swimable pool- water not too cold. Beautiful views. We did not stay at property which was a shame due to their mix up with our booking - they sent us to SBH beach resort which was the worst experience and far from the nice sandy beach.

Can't comment on rooms. But do stay away from SBH Costa Calma Beach resort. Rooms were clean but beds aweful and uncomfortable. Meal times were stressful and too busy. Dirty dishes and cutlery. Not enough staff for this huge property. We did not spent time there. Only plus: lovely pool areas with loads of sun beds and areas where you can catch some sun.

Positives: We liked the location - you can literally walk down a slope and you’re on the beach. The resort is quieter than Corralejo - fine for a week but if we went for two weeks we would book a busier resort. As a vegetarian, there was always something I could eat. Breakfast in particular was good, and I appreciated there were around 6 different types of milk to cater for everyone. There was always fresh fruit and a good range of desserts. Our balcony was lovely - definitely worth paying extra for front sea view. The bar staff were always friendly. Amstel, wine and sangria on tap. We used the tennis courts at the SBH Mónica, which are free for all SBH guests. We paid extra for the SBH wristbands which allow you to eat and drink at a few other hotels - this made a nice change (although we preferred the restaurant at Taro). Compared to the other SBH hotels, Taro Beach has a more relaxed feel and was quieter around the pool and in the restaurant. Negatives: In most 4* hotels, if you arrive before check in they make an effort to get you get you into your room asap. We appreciate this wasn’t possible and were prepared to wait until 2pm, but it was nearly 3pm before our room was ready. After a long journey this was a bit frustrating, and it was clear other guests had the same problem. They need to employ more cleaning staff or start cleaning rooms earlier if they can’t commit to a 2pm check in time. The rooms were often cleaned quite late, meaning we couldn’t use the balcony as much as we wanted to. On one day, our room wasn’t cleaned at all. We had to ask a few times and they kept saying they would send somebody. In the end we just asked for clean towels as we wanted to spend some time on our balcony and enjoy the sun, rather than vacate the room again. The maid who dropped the towels off looked annoyed at having to do this. The cocktails were undrinkable, aside from a Cuba Libre which is hard to get wrong. The mojito was a strange yellow colour, and I couldn’t drink the pina colada. I appreciate in a cheap all inclusive you get what you pay for, but other hotels manage it.

I cannot stress enough the importance of avoiding this hotel; your safety could be at serious risk. The negative reviews you have read online are warranted and reflect genuine concern. Tonight, we fell victim to a robbery after stepping out of our room (621). The lock on the patio door is severely faulty, creating a significant security vulnerability. Despite reporting this issue upon our arrival, the hotel manager failed to take our concerns seriously. The design of the patio door is deeply troubling—a simple hinge allows anyone to open it effortlessly from the outside. We even demonstrated this alarming weakness to the handyman, who confirmed how easily someone could access our room, regardless of the engaged lock. When I sought assistance from the receptionist, he refused to involve the police or security and suggested we prop the door shut with chairs. However, our room does not have chairs, leaving us with only plastic ones outside. We did reach out to the police, but their response was inadequate. They advised us to file a written report and wait until morning to speak with the hotel manager. More incidents were reported this evening, as we discovered after speaking with the receptionist and police. Our safety has been severely compromised during our stay. We have never experienced anything like this in a hotel before, and I strongly urge potential guests to reconsider if they value their safety.

We have just had the best holiday I could have wished for. I don’t understand all the negativity towards this hotel. The food was fantastic every day especially the Xmas day meal it was 5* . Staff were friendly and helpful. I asked at reception for an extra pillow and within half an hour one was delivered to the room. Yes the rooms are a little old fashioned but clean and comfortable and fully functional. There was no issues with security and we noticed the police were driving up and down the beach at night keeping an eye on things. I have returned home feeling rested , well fed and rejuvenated. Thank you taro beach we will definitely be back.

Me and my autistic child had an amazing stay in taro beach rooms are spacious ,the food is delicious and the entertainment staff are brilliant .we are close to the beach i thought my son may of got bored but there was plenty to do .my birthday was the day after we arrived and the staff left a lovely suprise for me .i purchased a gold wrist band so I could use neighbouring sbh hotels facilities and it was so worth it .I would definitely stay here again over all a pleasant trip xx

Bar

Great relaxing stay at Taro beach, nothing to complain about. Life was easy over there. Room was clean and nice, bathroom maybe a bit outdated but who cares. Great view from balcony directly to the sea and beach. Food was good with lots of variety. And drinks were available all day long. Great location for long morning walks. Pool area is ok and the animation team very energetic and friendly. I can definitely consider going back!

The worst hotel and was manager of the hotel soon as we walked in the hotel we got dropped off on the main road by the own bus driver when we try to tell the manager the really didn't care the hotel is full of a germs. Do not go to this hotel was so many mosquito do not waste your money on this old and all the equipments beds are very old we had so many people saying it at the hotel they will never come back to this hotel

Not a family friendly hotel. There is nothing there for children at all. The website promises a kids club but that was non existent. The pool has nothing enticing and is incredibly deep. Entertainment is mostly German and the young entertainers were not interested in English guests. Overall a shabby hotel. The one shining feature is its proximity to the beach, but even the beach itself has little to offer. The second star is for a lovely man on reception who gave us recommendations. It's really far from anything and incredibly boring. Would not visit again, will be sticking to the north of the Island and to Pierre & Vacances accomodation.

The staff was great, food was good, a bit repetitive but ok. The location is amazing,really nice views, bar next to the beach has great views and the beach is very close to the hotel and the water is clear.

First - The room allocated to us was near a compressor or something similar, and every day was starting from 5.30AM. Having a baby is not that pleasant to have him wake up every day so early, especially being in holidays. - The second thing is that one of the closets was always visited by 'ants', and we found a couple even in bed 😞. - Third- I have booked with booking for a price, but at check-in we had to pay £30 more, and to be honest this was not fair - would have been nice to be informed first by the members of the hotel.
