Hotetur Puerto Tahiche Apartments

Stayed at the hotel for the second time in 3 years, not a lot as changed, but when you go back somewhere you notice things, the hotel was very good and very happy with our week stay, but an overall face lift is what this hotel needs just to brighten it all up, but the maintence of the hotel outside and the pool is very good, we went self catering so a few more items of cooking bits to let you make a meal esp if your out with a young family and just want a night in, plus the euro not very good at the moment so not getting good value for money. The weather really good and had a really chilled out week, if you want a few good places to eat, bogarts, food very tasty and good value also a really nice chinese just around the corner, turn left as you come out of the main entrance.

Just returned from one week stay here. When we arrived we were turned away and told the hotel was overbooked and we were sent to another hotel which was ghastly. After two days of complaining we did manage to get booked in. Basic rooms, but had a wonderful sea view. The cleaner only came twice while we were there (5 days), and she was in and out in two minutes flat. one day we were on the balcony and before we knew it she had gone. The food was lovely, and variety good. The entertasinment staff were excellent, three very friendly guys who mingled with everyone and worked hard to entertain us. The location in costa Teguise is the best, our view overlooking the beach was spectacular. would definately use this hotel again.

Just returned from a week at this hotel; yet another fantastic holiday courtesy of Alpharooms. Check in was almost effortless & we were checked in within minutes.The room was nice, with a stunning sea view from the balcony, an excellent bedroom with plenty of storage space, & a nice sized living room/kitchenette area. Everything worked perfectly. The only negative point was that the bath was a bit stained, but the shower worked perfectly & the bathroom itself was fine.The pool areas were excellent & patrolled by a life guard, & the pool bar was good too. The food was again excellent, but it was a bit disappointing for my vegetarian wife. The staff were superb. The Maitre d' was the same one from the Lanzarote Bay & he was absolutely marvellous. The maintenance staff were quick & efficient, & a faulty light bulb in our hallway was replaced immediately. The only person who wasn't constantly cheerful was the lady in the supermarket who never smiled. That being said, she was good at her job. The adult entertainment was great fun & included loads of activities. The shows in the evening were tremendous fun, & the Grease tribute which was done entirely by the entertainments staff with a couple of volunteers from the audience, was second to none. Again the entertainments staff worked really hard & ensured that all the guests had a good time. The location of the hotel couldn't be better. You literally walked out of the back door onto a stunning beach, which again was patrolled by a lifeguard. The sea was nice & warm & the beach was within a beautiful bay where you could go snorkelling, (an excellent snorkel & mask from the supermarket was 6.50 Euros!) The surrounding area is charming & the water park is apparently within walking distance, although we didn't bother because the beach & the pools were fantastic. We've been to the Canaries a fair few times now & we've always had an excellent time because the kids have been so happy. This time has been no exception & Alpharooms have done us proud again so we would have no hesitation in going back to this hotel. Next year we are thinking of trying somewhere new, but wherever we go, it will be with Alpharooms. Oh, & another thing. We never saw one cockroach whilst we were there, either alive or dead, but there was a pleasant cat & an inquisitive collared dove.

To start with, we were concerned with the seemingly "bad" reviews for this resort. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by reception, efficient too. After negotiating the mass of sunburnt bodies on the sparse sun-beds, we found our room, apartment 227. Typical affair really, none too grand. Initially, when we checked the view, we assumed we had been given the wrong room (going solely on the price we had paid), but no, we had the correct room overlooking Las Cucharas beach and the horizon - excellent. Location - superb, you're right in the middle of everything if you want it, or you can upgrade to all inclusive and use the resort facilities, which after talking to guests who had done this, was well worth it. Room facilities - spartan. Absolutely no storage for anything, the two wardrobes were hanging apart and in the main room, only one table for eating on and one for the TV. Cleanliness - only saw cockies the day the fumigation guy attacked the drainage system with the "anti-cockie" machine, after that, not a single cockie anywhere - a very good thing for those that have been plagued with these beasts previously. Resort - average. Sunbeds are locked up until 0930 every day, so an early rise is a must if you want one. Word of caution regarding the glass (NON-SAFETY version) on the apartments that haven't been renovated to double glazing. The weather was blowing a right hoolie while we were there and we witnessed at least 4 doors smashed, one almost on top of a little girl, most caused by the maids, who don't seem too friendly, although they did do alright for cleaning and bed-changing for us at least. To sum up. A great location resort, near to all things in Costa Teguise. Maintenance, none apparent unless it's broken, so in my book, no maintenance being applied. I waited 4 days for the bed frame to be replaced, as it had previously been badly welded and had cracked again. As for the other guests, they all seemed to be enjoying things, the kids club was busy and all the kids looked happy. Pools were good, although baby pool was freezing. All in all, I would return, but don't expect the Ritz, you get what you pay for here. All inclusive worth a go next time for us, thinking about late October, or maybe Xmas, as it's meant to be jumping then, with a spectacular fireworks display. Resort itself 5/10. Holiday 8/10. Costa Teguise 9/10.

On arrival reception staff very friendly and helpful. We had a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking swimming pool which was clean and had a 3 ring hob, toaster, microwave and electric kettle. Al areas of the complex are kept very clean. The bulb went in the bathroom i phoned down to reception and within 10 mins they had been to replace it (what service) Complex set in an ideal situation beach at the rear and shops, bars and restuarants right outside the front. Complex is very relaxing and would definately go back.

Christmas 2006. First impression as we entered the room, was that it needed a good refurbishment, in particular the bottom of the bath was badly stained ( black ). After a day or so, we realised that the maids did clean the rooms properly.We were expecting a few cockroaches, but actually saw none in the room.The food was very good, what impressed us most of all was the efficiency and friendliness of the staff, especially in the restuarant. We were impressed by the trouble they took over the food and display of the christmas dinner. Hotel is in a good position,close to the beach. The only negative comments were the odd compulsory rowdy families, and the entertainment in the bars was so loud, we had to get out of the hotel in the evenings to get away from it, and that's a comment from a DJ. Also the sea was warmer than the hotel pools. Overall not a hotel for couples seeking peace and quiet, but very good value for families with kids

On arrival the hotel looks modern and clean. The reception staff were polite and helpful.

The first room we were given was large however unfortunately we had the neighbours from hell. The hotel gave us another room, without any fuss,this was equally good

The pool area was kept clean and there were plenty of sunbeds.

There were plenty of bars and restaurants close by.

I would definatley go again although be warned due to no air conditioning it would be too hot in the summer months.

Hotetur Puerto Tahiche was very clean, we had maid service five days a week. They offer a wide range of facilities from upgrades to bed and breakfast or halfboard to gym, sauna, massages etc. As well as the usual facilities such as pool, evening entertainment and kids clubs. The hotel staff were very helpful too. The room was a very basic studio room but does offer larger apartments but the view from the room was spectacular. We had a seaview room that overlooked the beach, what a perfect way to start your day!

Fantastic location, right on the beach front. Clean, clean, clean.  A well run complex, serviced daily, pools are kept so clean as well as the surrounding areas.  Restaurants and shopping as you step outside the apartments, brillant location.  We would definately recommend Tahiche Apartments and would definately go back again.

These apartments are very conveniently located to the main beach, and are close to some excelent restaurants and bars. The apartments are funtional and a little basic, and the 3 star rating may be a little high. However they are clean and the staff are helpful.

There are only 2 downsides to this venue -

1. the pools are very deep and anyone with children that cannot swim well may want to consider alternatives. All of the pools are over 6' deep, and there are only small areas where it is safe for non swimmers.

2. The poor sound proofing on the rooms means you will be aware of neighbours using the bathrooms and showers.

If you are looking for a good base to spend your holiday, where you are close to the beach and centre of the resort, this is a great place.

The Hotel was great, there was plenty of things for the kids to do in the day with the kids club and plenty of party games for the adults around the pool.Room was fine smelt a bit fustie, we had a great spot for our room right near the pool.

We stayed in puerto tahiche appartments in August last year.  Costa teguise is a lovely place the hotel and entertainment was brilliant.  The kids loved the pools and the kids club especially the mini disco in the evenings.  There are so many places to eat out we were spoilt for choice.  We only stayed 1 week but are going back next june to stay for 2 weeks cause we had such a good time.

We stayed in hotetur puerto tahiche apartments 20/4/06 in block 2.We were next to the stairs and could hear every guest arriving day and night.The apt was basic but clean and towels was changed only once in a week.Anyone staying would be advised to get a pool view rather than a sea view as sun goes on balcony"s in afternoon.

Stayed here for 1 week in April 2006 on All Inclusive with my family kids 11 and 8.
The All Inclusive was fine but make sure that you get the same drinks as the paying customer and also make sure your cocktails look the same as everyone else. I had to see the manager as he needed to know about this.

The weather was a bit on the cool side, wind was strong.
Accomadation was basic and not that clean but spacious. Ask for a high floor as you should get the sun all day.

Pool freezing, my kids never went in and that is very strange.

Overall meals were great but if you go All Inclusive beware there are no snacks available if you miss your lunch/dinner.
Entertainment was fine but bar closes at 11pm.
Not much going on around the pool a bit to quite for us.
Daytime activities poor

My studio appartment was equipped with everything I needed and was clean and fresh. A little minor maintenance was needed but nothing which affected my stay. A good sized terrace overlooked the pool area, which was well kept with some attractive planting. The variety and quality of the food in the restaurant was good,and there was an effort to provide as much fresh food as possible. Staff in the complex were helpful. As a solo traveller I didnt find the hotel bar suited me as nearly all the holiday makers were couples or families. However when I ventured out I found the resort felt very safe and that there were a number of friendly local bars. Costa Teguise beach front is attractive, clean,laid back and nearby. I think that a lone female traveller can stay in this hotel/resort in confidence of a relaxed and hassle free time.

the hotetur was clean and comfortable, but I found it a bit too basic, if you had a family with you and you were having to cook in the apartment, there needed to be more utensils and pans but otherwise enjoyed my stay.

Stayed in Tahiche Apartments Oct 2005,quite a big complex more suited to families with children. Fantastic location right on beach front. Rooms are basic, but have everything you need for a week or two, we had third floor studio over looking the sea (brilliant). Would I go again-yes but out of season when there’s not so many kids.
