Insotel Club Tarida Playa

we're at the hotel right now. We travel a lot, we run a travel agency and I also write a blog about traveling with children. It would seem that the ideal client for the hotel can create a good relationship and help in acquiring customers. nothing could be further from the truth. we got a room filled with musty stuff, today was the 3rd night - I couldn't sleep because of the smell. did the hotel do anything? yes, he sprayed air freshener so much that I couldn't sleep at all. Yesterday the smell came back. We heard that this is how it is in such countries. it is not, we have visited too many hotels to be fooled by this. a hotel with completely untapped potential. I will describe the hotel on my blog with pleasure or displeasure.

Really impressed and will definitely book to go again. Staff really friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent Only negative was the pool temperatures which put off both my young children from going in the water . If the pool water was warmer it would of been a 10/10 experience for us

Rooms are okay, abit tired the air conditioning broke during our stay and water leaked from the ceiling..the maintenance thankfully sorted this quickly. There’s no kettle in the room and you have to pay 4 euro per day for the safe plus a £10 deposit and a 20 euro per towel deposit. We were also told at check out, that we should have checked out the day before we were due to leave, which didn’t make sense us. We were not impressed by all of the additional charges, which we were not informed about when we made the booking. It felt like an old fashioned way to run a hotel. The main pro is the location right next to the beach (down some steps from the hotel), food is good a lot of meat and vegetable options. They are also good with allergies when you ask the staff and the food is labelled with allergens. The chef also made me a separate meal one night, which was delicious. The hotel is perfect for families location wise, food wise and facility wise (kids pool, play area, kids club). The waiter staff are all very friendly and lovely too. We had a lovely time.

The hotel was really nice lovely reception area, pool was beautiful and so were the gardens. We stayed in the annex at back if hotel (warning of the steps with cases) the room was lovely and spacious had everything we needed, the cleaning team were lovely and changed towels everyday. The restaurant was great lots of chose for seating indoors and outdoors, the food selection was great always lots of chose, show cooking and different themes. Hotel is quite out the way from anything but there is a supermarket to the right and a mini shopping centre to the left up the hill. The best bit was how close to the beach we were it was amazing and the sunset views every night was stunning.

Excellent selection on the buffet. Perfect. location particularly enjoyed the bar on the beach that serve food all day too, roasted Mediterranean vegetables pizza paella smiling service by waiters nothing too much bother Room was pleasant too Only downside we arrived middle of the night and it was so difficult to find our room in the pitch black! needs sensor lights at least

This was our first time here, family of 2 adults with two kids, and such a good match. We received a professional welcome at reception, the customer service is a good hotel feature. 50 or so euros tourist tax charged as expected; However, the 20 euros refundable deposit for each towel seemed high considering their basic quality. We didn't have any issues finding sun loungers by the pool everyday. Lots of shaded and unshaded areas around the pool areas. We turned up when we were ready and had a choice of sun loungers. The beach is down lots of steps, or a steep ramp, but worth a visit in case you like it. Other than the beach, we stayed in the hotel throughout our stay. However we did not notice any daytime entertainment at all. There was ongoing music playing in the pool/bar background, and this created a fun a**osphere. All inclusive branded drinks were a standout feature (Estrella beer is really nice and refreshing!), including hot chocolate, cocktails, icecreams on sticks, also there was a good food selection in the restaurant. There were self serve drinks machines dotted around - so you can fill your own bottle or use their cups. Access for those of us with mobility issues? The hotel is built on a slope, but has ramps (and steps) in appropriate locations. Also, you may prefer to book rooms in main building which has a lift, unlike the annex which is towards the bottom part of the slope, away from main bits, and has no lifts. We were kindly allocated an adapted room on the ground floor, close to reception in the main building - perfect! We could access all areas required either by ramp or lift from there - great! However, we found that the 'flip down stadium style' seats for evening entertainment were not suitable for us. There were some benches there too though. The interior has a modern feel, and is very well cleaned. We visited towards end of season and it has that closing down feel, beach bar closed while we were there, and things were not being fixed/replenished, such as poolside shower, blue slushy machine etc. The best feature for us was the drinks and ice-creams included in all inclusive, and the worst part was that the snack bar was only available between 12noon and 6pm, with a very limited range of food. So we had to dry off and go in to the restaurant for lunch everyday. We had read many mixed reviews and they kind of all make sense to us now. We regularly holiday across Spain, all inclusive, and this is one of the better ones, so we intend to return.

We visited this hotel for one week during Oct 2022. We were all inclusive. I found this hotel to be faultless. The room was comfortable, spacious, quiet and kept very clean. The pool area was also kept nice and everything was in good condition. The kids club, mini disco and entertainment were great and my children loved attending. The entertainment is far enough away from the hotel rooms it’s doesn’t really intrude if you just want a quiet evening. The food and drinks offered were of a high quality and tasty. The hotel is very close to a beautiful beach, on the beach are a small section of bars and restaurants. The children enjoyed snorkelling in the sea. The only negative I personally had, was that there wasn’t much within walking distance of the hotel and as we were visiting in October the bus service had stopped. But you could hire a car to get around the island. I would 100% recommend this small, friendly, high quality hotel and I would definitely like to return one day.

Your holiday is what you make it… room lovely… for me food was ok, but it depends on what kind of food you like ( I’m fussy) but I always found something.. it’s right in the beach which was amazing! Would definitely go back

Lovely resort and food. They charge for the use of room safe and a €20 deposit for pool towels, only allowed to change twice a week. I have nothing more to say but I need 200 characters hence the latter waffle.
