호텔 타바이바 프린세스(Tabaiba Princess)

Our party was a couple with a nearly 2 year old & a couple with a non crawling 10 month old. (4 adults & 2 kids) I’ll start off with saying it’s a beautiful hotel. It’s clean and modern but simple changes could make it so much better! Rooms We stayed in twin rooms - 1228 & 1227 We wanted rooms next to each other so that when the babies were asleep we could sit together as two couples and have a bit of an evening. The only way this is possible is if you have a garden room, we didn’t know this till we got there. The rooms on the Tatium side are the quieter rooms which was great when travelling with babies/toddlers. We had requested ground floor rooms as we have a toddler who’s an escape artist. On arrival we were given 1st floor rooms and told they were fully booked so couldn’t move us. They said we could try the next day but couldn’t confirm. We received a phone call the next day and shown two rooms but even with them being on the 1st floor they both had balconies with a drop so chose not to move. The rooms aren’t big enough for a family. The wardrobe has space for two adults worth of clothing but not a huge amount more. The wardrobe doesn’t have hanging space for full length dresses & no where to store your suitcases. There isn’t an iron or kettle in the room, you have to pay extra for these. The door doesn’t lock from the inside so our toddler regularly opened the door and attempted to visit our neighbours. The patio door has a little latch to lock it but if you try and close the door from the outside it doesn’t close fully, guess this is for safety so you don’t lock yourself out but frustrating when you have a sleeping baby in the room and try not to make a sound when going for the balcony for some adult time. The garden rooms near the kids splash area didn’t have gates so we’re glad we didn’t have that room otherwise our toddler would have ran off all the time! Bed The bed is terrible & squeaked when you move. So any bad back suffers be prepared. One pillow is soft and the other is firm. Not great unless as a couple you have opposite taste in pillow types. There is loads of spare cushions which worked great as a pregnancy pillow for one of us ladies as we didn’t have the room to pack it with us Coffee Right parents, be prepared the coffee is TERRIBLE! And the nearest cafe is Starbucks which is 32mins stroll to the beach. You only get one bottle of water per stay. The supermarket across the way sells them if you need them for babies bottle etc. Food & Restaurants As you expect from an all inclusive it’s very sammie. Be warned the jelly makes toddlers hyper so allow them to eat with caution. You have to get your own drinks which we found odd for an all inclusive hotel and rather frustrating if you were solo parenting at the meal. There is always somewhere to eat during the day but we still found ourselves going out for a number of meals to get something tastier and different. We didn’t see any microwaves for heating kids food

Visited here second week in May, check in was quick and staff were all very nice, room was opposite kids slides and pool and was great, we had a junior suite, plenty of wardrobe space, a safe in the wardrobe , a fridge, two tv’s , a large mirror, nice bathroom with shower and bath, also complimentary toiletries. Bed was huge. As you head to the pool area from reception there are some lovely palm trees and planed area, two pools and there are several kids pools, some with slides which are located around the other side of the hotel. The breakfast was usual cereals, bacon, sausage, eggs, also a wide selection of bread and continental breakfast items, omelettes were made to order, also tea, coffee and juice which was help yourself, fresh orange was payable or it’s included if you upgrade, My wife struggled at lunch and dinner times to find food she liked, me on the other hand always found something to eat, they do have to cater for a lot of people and there is a good choice but it may not suit everyone. There’s also two snack bars with have the usual chips, burgers, salad, chicken, cakes and other pastries. They also do crepes which are an extra charge or included if you upgrade. Staff were really nice except one who worked at one of the outdoor bars who was a bit of a grump😀. Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel, even though my wife struggled with the food but bearing in mind they have to cater for a lot of people, and would stay again in the future.

We arrived at the Princess Tabaiba and were immediately impressed with the grandeur of the reception, its sparkling marble floor and overall clean presentation with plants (which turned out to be plastic, but looked good anyway) decorating the area. The hotel twinned with the Maspalomas Princess are like two giant candy sticks with the curled ends of the sticks facing each other. It takes a short while to get your bearings as its quite a big place. We soon found several irritants with the hotel which didn't ruin the holiday, but were certainly not what we were used to. Our room, whilst clean and quite large with a vast double bed and a sofa bed for our boy, didn't have a kettle, an iron, and no drinks in the fridge, not even water. The bathroom was nice with a big shower room and double width sink. To obtain iron and kettle, these had to be rented from reception (£). The air conditioning is the room wasn't sufficient, squeaked and only produced a trickle of cool air. The lack of coffee and tea making facilities was frustrating particularly as we were right at the far end of the candy stick on the second floor and therefore had to walk all the way back past reception into the dining area to get morning drinks. So I did this only once during our stay as it was a waste of time. WiFi in our room was also at a complete loss as we appeared to be in a dead spot, and we noticed several of these spots particularly around the pool areas, which was unacceptable for a hotel of this size. The pool areas themselves were excellent and the far end of the candy stick had a beach area which sloped into the pool so was safer for kids. There were two good poolside restaurants for simple meals (10am onwards), snacks and drinks. The adult only pool was really nice (although we didn't use it just walked past), and it had its own H2O bar which was lovely and peaceful and we dropped in there a few times. We found out quickly that using the staircases quickly got you about the place much faster than waiting around for the tediously slow lifts. Straight down from our room was the spa, gym and access to the adult only pool. The restaurant and bars were ok with plenty of seats but it felt like a budget all inclusive, with a self service style drinks service of average wine and beer. Coffee and tea was the same but it was particularly annoying having to queue all of the time at the machines, which were themselves very slow, and didn't produce nice coffee, or even full measures. The food was on the whole good, but there were a couple of nights where it was below par. Also most nights involved a long queue to even get in the restaurant. There were a couple of other restaurants to break up the main buffet tedium, namely an Italian and Asian, however both were also buffet. The Italian wasn't great and largely the same as food in the main buffet. The Asian was slightly better for noodles and curry reasons alone which were never on offer elsewhere. The waiter offered

Such a wonderful hotel!! Very clean, rooms were nicely decorated, staff were friendly. The food was so nice and lots of choice. Pool was clean and the adult only area was a nice place to relax. Quiet area that’s nice to walk around, cannot complain at all, we will absolutely be back!

We arrived on my birthday in December and were absolutely delighted to be upgraded to a suite , this was also our first holiday together and the suite was amazing , we spent most of the time there sunbathing , partly due to no music being on by the pool , and in the room we could play our music . On the first night we went down for dinner and sat a table and it didn't have a wine glass , so i took one from another table, only to be sternly talked down to by a waiter when he seen what i had done , i did explain i didn't know the protocol as only arrived ,and to be honest there should have been one on the table we are seated at , so had to show him where i was sat was not happy at all (not a good start to the evening or my birthday night ) The booking system for booking for breakfast etc i couldn't understand as you still have to queue for ages and i have never stayed at another hotel that does this . Overall we did have a fantastic time the hotel was clean and the room was amazing , we tried the Italian restaurant and the Asian one and we really enjoyed it and the weather was amazing , prosecco was freely available on the bars and cocktail machine so you could help yourself , what's not to love .

We had a great stay here in September 23. Our room was on the ground floor, it had a seating area with a massive TV, sleeping area with massive TV, bathroom, walk in wardrobe with a safe and an outdoor patio with sun loungers. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hotels have two main bar areas, the one on our side opened around 7pm, the other was open all day in to the night. Entertainment in the evening was good, oneside was more for families and the other more for adults. The main buffet restaurant had lots of food choices and I thought the food was lovely. Liked the self service for beer, wine and soft drinks. We went to the Asian restaurant, food was fantastic. Pool area was massive, had a bar and a snack bar. All in all this is a lovely hotel, lots to do, great for families. Would recommend this for wheelchair users, lots of ramps and we found it easy to get around. It is a big place and a bit of a hike getting from our room to the restaurant and pool, we'll worth it. The all inclusive at the bars finish around 11, that was OK for us. You need to make reservations for breakfast and evening meals, they have screens in reception, staff happy to help and I think you can download an app to make your bookings. We had a lovely stay and I would be happy to come back again.

From my business as an independent hotel reviewer and have been to the island for many years this had to be one of the most luxurious hotels I’ve experienced.. From the fine all inclusive dining to the many bars on site and the adult area with plush beds and a warm pool, away from the hustle and bustle.. The hotel lavishes itself with volumes of marble and plush finishing to add to its decor beautiful seats in the whole hotel lobby, bars, and restaurants you will definitely feel at home and be comfortable in your surroundings.

We just returned 16th May after a weeks holiday. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. I decided on checking in I would upgrade to all inclusive plus. After reading all the previous reviews I said I'll try it. DONT. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. the selection is not great and needs to be looked at to charge and extra 5 euro or so on top of ai plus for a princess or Canaria cocktail should be a free bonus cocktail as your visiting that hotel and Country. All the staff were really hard working and friendly. The whole hotel is spotally clean. Their is a great selection of food to suit all tastes. The adult bar is really nice and the double raised beds around the pool are great especially if you have mobility issues using other beds like getting up and down. MAYBE HOTEL COULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE AMMOUNT OF BEDS. IT'S WORTH THE EXTRA 20 EURO. OVERALL REALLY NICE HOTEL. IF CHANGES WE IMPLIMENTED WOULD RETURN. THANKS TO ALL FOR A NICE HOLIDAY. .

Unfortunately we weren’t told by our travel agent that this was a family hotel. Room was very nice but I was so disappointed that there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The restaurant was very busy and sadly the food was average. I most definitely wouldn’t return to this hotel due to the fact that there were babies and toddlers crying at every meal. I’m not averse to babies and toddlers just not what I wanted on my holiday
