Tabaiba Princess

A great luxurious hotel with lots of amenities and daily fun activities to join in. Two superb outdoor buffet bars with as much food as you can eat and lots of selections. The rooms are modern and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Recommended

We went back to this hotel20 years later. Our first visit was with our baby son and this time it was as a couple. So this time - the hotel surroundings are lovely, the adult pool was nice to be away from the children- been there done that - but it could be so much more….. When we arrived the hotel check in was chaotic and slow. This needs serious attention to sort this out. It was ridiculous. Our room was pretty standard and it was nice to have a bath as not too many hotels have then nowadays. However the air conditioning was faulty and soaked the wall all over where the unit was and I reported it but nothing happened….. it stayed wet the whole holiday. The room had no kettle or anything to drink in the fridge which is something I’m not used to from a platinum hotel. The restaurant had good choice of food but the food was cold and when someone complained about this they were told to use the microwave - really on a hotel of this standard you microwave your food? Also it was so annoying to be queuing to go into the restaurant for a table when there were loads of free tables when you walked through - and I couldn’t choose where I sat. I hate sitting so close to others and I was told where to sit! Also sometimes you were right by a child that was just screaming which was really not relaxing. I have children but they behaved when we were in a restaurant or I took them out so not to bother others. The hotel was supposed to be split so children and young families in the Maspalomas side only - we had a great room location by the spa but absolutely no view which was so disappointing and loads of kids running up and down the corridor screaming and the hotel didn’t do anything to stop this. We paid more for the room for this reason and another couple we met were in the other side and got upgraded to a high floor bigger room on our side of the hotel. How does that happen? As I said it was ok and the grounds were lovely but the hotel could be so much more….. would I return - probably go back to the Barcelona in playa del ingles or stay down the front in melondronas adult only hotel.

I travelled here with my sister (we are in our late twenties/early thirties). We had such a lovely experience overall and would 100% return. The food choice was great (we only ate in the main restaurant). and was very good quality for a buffet, with lots of options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel grounds were stunning and very clean. We enjoyed the drinks and the service was good too. The atmosphere in the hotel was great, with there being entertainment aimed at both adults and kids. We also never struggled to get a sun lounger. The hotel is a bit out of the way but taxis and buses are cheap. During the trip, we went to the beach which was beautiful, to see the Sand Dunes, visited Blue Marlin Beach Club, went to some nice restaurants and bars and went to Puerto Rico which I would recommend as this area had good restaurants and shopping. This was my first time in Gran Canaria and I loved it as a place too. We found the hotel to be in a decent location if you don’t mind a bit of travel to places. We also used the hotel spa and enjoyed our treatments. I would say some negatives were the room was a bit dated (we stayed in the Maspalomas end of the hotel and according to other guests the rooms are nicer in the Tabitha end), bed was quite uncomfortable and I think you should get free entry to the Italian and Asian restaurant even if you are on a shorter trip; as we were only there for 4 nights/5 days, we did not get access to this. Overall, a great holiday and we are looking to return next year with more of our family.
