Just returned from 2 weeks all inclusive at the Tabaiba Princess. Having read a few reviews before we left, I was concerned about the comments on staff attitude, which turned out to be totally unfounded. A few words of Spanish, even if you don't speak the language makes all the difference in the world! The reaction you get just for trying goes a long way in the type of service you receive. Hola, Buenos Dias, Buenas Tardes, Que Tal, (Hello, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, How are things?). I do not speak Spanish, so excuse me if they are not totally correct and it wasn't that difficult.
Overall a very good holiday. The variety and quality of the food was so good, we didn't eat out on a number of evenings as we had planned to, and revisit a number of restaurants after staying in an apartment in Melonares last year.
The only real disappointment was being packed in like sardines on the sun beds and that was if you were lucky enough to find one in the sun after people had been down early "reserving" theirs. The hotel policy states in the in room directory that this is prohibited and they really should do something to enforce it or remove it from their literature!!
Would certainly go again.

Just returned from a great week in the Tabaiba Princess. Everything fully met our expectations and the staff deserve extra praise.

we were suprised to end up here as we were supposed to be going to the orqueda which was overbooked. we also recieved compensation, talk about getting lucky this is a good hotel which merits 4 stars. food is good quality plenty of choice, beer and wine good, wine could be cooler at times. the majority of staff cheerful and helpful boys in piano bars and downstairs great fun entertainment is good the odd night you have to go next door to the sister hotel to watch a show.you can take a beer with you as next door is only halfboard not all inc if your going make sure you watch the platters, blues bros and girl singer on monday.the only problems we found were the sunbeds which are plentiful but lots of them are not in the sun and you have to get up early to beat the germans and some brits to get a good spot. this hotel is very popular with elderly germans and brits but there are plenty of younger people there as well, from what i saw the old uns have just as much fun if not more than the young uns. we would go back to this hotel but at the right price

Room Tip: if your taking kids 2nd or 3rd floor

“Not for under 60 year olds!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Just got back from this hotel which is advertised as 5 star, it's not at all in comparison to others I've stayed in around the world. Main issue was 90 per cent of people at this hotel were over 60 which wasn't ideal for a young couple in there 20's. The food was pretty simple, if you are the kind of person who likes to go abroad and eat English stuff you eat back home then it's for you. There's nothing Spanish about it, it's pretty dull. The two good points were the cleanliness and the amount of alcohol available in the all inclusive package,however the bar is where alot of older people hang out and the music there is geared towards them, golden oldie style. the hotel is also not really located in walking distance to anywhere worthwhile except the sand dunes, otherwise u need a taxi or the local bus. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone under 60 or the actual island, it's overall pretty boring.

“Great Hotel and lovely staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

people found this review helpful

After reading reviews was a little apprehensive but absolutely no need to be.
This is a lovely hotel with great staff. Staff at a hotel can either make your holiday great or bad adn they most certainly made it great. The cleanliness was next to none in every area. The restuarant staff were so friendly and the food was great.
Wouldn't mark as 5 star as a few things missing - like free wi-fi access and if you use every day its very expensive. Would recommend this hotel
