Boutique Hotel Tao Caleta Mar

We've stayed at this hotel three times and have always enjoyed it. The rooms are still lovely and cleaned really well. On this visit there was a dead cockroach in the breakfast room window. It had been there seven days. I told reception and it wasn't removed. Dishes weren't cleared from tables and hot options were not replenished quick enough. One morning we waited 30 minutes for bacon. The food was not very warm. Some people put their dirty dishes on the trolley. They didn't want staff near their table. They had taken food from the buffet for later in the day. I found the blonde lady on reception very rude. I contacted TUI and they got the cockroach removed. We won't book this again.

Good points: Breakfast was lovely with enough to choose from. Our ground floor suite was beautiful, big and clean. Air con worked brilliantly. Reception, cafe staff and all the housekeepers were really kind and work so hard. Plenty of sun beds around the pool. Amazing view of the ocean and Lobos island. Situated next to a great beach called Playa del Pozo Bad points: 30 min walk to centre of town (taxis charge €6 - €8 per journey) Swimming pools are very cold. There is no privacy on any of the patios or balconies. Not many snacks to buy from the cafe. Hotel really needs some maintenance outside around the pool and canteen area.

My husband and I spent a week here to celebrate my birthday in August. We were so very impressed. From the beginning the reception staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They could not do enough for us and even left a wonderful, unexpected surprise in the room for us arriving. Our room was a sea view room and the views were just spectacular looking over towards Lobos Island. The rooms are kept exceptionally clean and serviced every single day, with fresh towels provided daily, the bed linen was changed frequently also. The pool area is clean with plenty sun loungers to relax on in the very peaceful surroundings. The guests were mainly couples when we were there. No loud music or crowds. Ideal for a chilled vacation. There was a huge choice for breakfast every day with fresh fruits and breads in abundance. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the breakfast room again was kept spotlessly clean with plenty tables inside and out. The location for us was perfect. Right on the edge of town at the beginning of the grandes playa. The public bus from Puerto del Rosario stops just along the road from the hotel and goes all the way to the harbour for only €1.40 if it is too warm to walk. We hired a car for a few days to explore the island. We had no problem parking at the hotel when we returned. We can highly recommend this hotel and we will return soon! Thank you Tao Caleta Mar team

Booked by phone rather than on website with jet2 because I wanted a first floor sea view apartment, explained that I did not, under any circumstances want a ground floor room, I was assured by the rep that I would get a first floor room as requested and paid a premium for, when I arrived the manager told me there was no first floor rooms available and I was given a ground floor room which I specifically said I did not want, I complained by phone to jet2 but they just washed their hands of the problem. Do not use jet2 if you want a holiday.

What a lovely little tucked away complex. Quite quiet but u step outside to the most stunning beach and views of the island of lobos. There’s not much on the complex in regards to facilities there’s a nice breakfast and bar/snack/cocktails all day though where the staff and the reception staff are great and faultless. Even though this is quite a remote location of corralejo it’s no more that 5 euros in a taxi to be in the heart of the town of corraleio so if you like the best of both worlds would recommend this. Quick shout out to cleaners that were in every single day making sure u had to do nothing but relax ❤️
