Hotel LIVVO Lago Taurito

Really don’t recommend this hotel staff was rude food was under cooked plates were filthy the water park had green slime all over the tiles are air conditioning was loud went down to reception and they had a right attitude drinks you had to have it in a paper cup I understand by the pool but at the flamingo bar you could not have glass are room was given to us dirty so would not come back

Absolutely the WORST holiday I have ever had! Last minute booking but still expensive, I was dubious about the reviews but I bit the bullet, but every bad review is correct! When we got dropped off we got dropped off at the hotel opposite no one told us where to go and the hotel wasn’t even lit up to locate it, waited 1.5 hours to check on, with one person on the reception The food is below par and limited choices, the buffet is very small! Snack bar only sells burgers and hot dogs and there’s no fresh water other than from a coffee machine which is warm and also the free standing machines are not even cold! The rooms are outdated, the noise levels from neighbours and passers by is horrific! So if u have young children it’s not goi g to be ideal. The pool is tiny even though it’s less salty than the water park, which u can have free access but you can’t take any of your own food etc. AND WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE WATER PARK ON OUR LAST DAY!! Despite our flight being at night! The staff are rude and unhelpful and the resort its self is filthy! The entertainment is a shambles, cheap and unimaginative! No kettles in the room either! Atmosphere is poor aswell! Luckily we had the weather and that’s about all we did have! It has been the worst holiday I have ever had!!!

Location is abit out of the way from main areas. Atmosphere is not bad with a mix of families and singles. Rooms are very old fashioned but serviceable. The value for money was perfect. Family of 4 in sept all inclusive £1452 package holiday. The hotel generally is very clean. The staff are extremely friendly. The food isn’t that bad. Every day somthing different. Always got kids catered fit with hot dogs chicken nuggets and burgers. The drinks are abit watered down in my opinion. The main issue is British families with kids. They let the kids loose in the dining hall piling up the food then waste the food. Screaming kids all round dining hall. Overall the place is good.

We stayed at Livio Lago Taurito in Playa Taurito, Gran Canaria, for five nights from the end of August into early September, travelling with two children. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and found the hotel to be a good base for a relaxing family break. However, there are a few things worth knowing before booking. 🛏️ The room The room was fairly basic but perfectly adequate, as we mainly used it as a base. It was clean, and towels were replaced when the room was serviced, approximately every two days. Our balcony received afternoon and evening sunshine, which was a nice bonus. 🏨 The hotel The hotel was generally clean and well maintained. The lifts were a little temperamental during our stay and occasionally stopped working, which could be frustrating, particularly when travelling with children. The main entertainment area is centrally located within the Taurito resort, close to the hotel rather than inside it. We did not find the entertainment particularly impressive, but the nearby fun park was good for children, with arcades and bowling available. These activities are chargeable extras. 🏊 Pool and sunbeds The pool was adequate but quite small, and became very busy at peak times. A lifeguard was on duty, although we felt that the pool rules were enforced inconsistently from day to day. As with many resorts, sunbeds were in high demand. By around 9:30am, many had already been reserved, so you need to arrive early if having a particular spot is important to you. 🍹 All-inclusive The all-inclusive offering was broadly what we expected for this type of hotel. There was a reasonable allowance of two drinks per person at a time, which we found manageable. The snack bar was regularly refreshed and stocked with items such as hot dogs, burgers and toasties. This was useful when the children wanted something to eat between meals. 🍽️ Food We were pleasantly surprised by the food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant offered plenty of choice. The food was generally hot and well presented, and the restaurant was clean. One tip is to eat earlier rather than later if you want the widest selection, as some of the more popular dishes can run low during busy periods. 🌊 Water park One of the biggest positives for us was the daily access to the water park, which was an excellent additional benefit, particularly when travelling with children. It provided another activity during the day and added good value to the stay. The water park is located within the Taurito resort and is one of the area’s main attractions. 📍 Location The location is probably the most important thing to consider before booking. Playa Taurito is a small, purpose-built resort on Gran Canaria’s south-west coast, situated in a valley between Puerto de Mogán and Puerto Rico. It is relatively isolated, with the hotel, water park, beach and a limited selection of shops, bars and restaurants concentrated within the resort. There is no large promenade or extensive town centre to explore, so it may not suit anyone looking for lots of nightlife, shopping or a wide choice of restaurants within walking distance. However, the location works well if your idea of a holiday is relaxing around the hotel, using the pool and water park, and spending most of your time in the resort. Taurito Beach is a small, sheltered beach, and the surrounding valley provides a scenic setting, although the area is hilly in places. There are regular bus services to nearby destinations, including Puerto de Mogán and Puerto Rico, making it relatively easy to explore further afield. Taxis are also available, although costs can add up. The resort is approximately 50 kilometres from Gran Canaria Airport. Depending on whether you are travelling by private transfer, taxi or shared coach, and how many other hotels are included on the route, the airport transfer can take around 45 minutes to 1½ hours. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Overall For a five-night family break, we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is fairly basic in places, but the rooms are clean, the food is good, the water park access is a great bonus and there are enough facilities nearby to keep children occupied. The main drawbacks for us were the small and busy pool, the temperamental lifts and the resort’s remote location. If you are looking for a holiday where you can relax, stay around the hotel and keep the children entertained, this is a reasonable option. If you prefer a lively resort with extensive nightlife, shopping, restaurants and plenty of places to explore on foot, I would look elsewhere. Overall, a decent family stay with a few things to be aware of before booking.

We are currently on day 3 of our 10 night stay at the Hotel Livvo Lago Taurito. We were a bit concerned when we read some of the reviews but so far we haven’t been disappointed. The rooms are basic but are clean, the housekeepers do an excellent service. Our room has been cleaned every day with clean towels etc. it’s situated abouts 40 minute coach transfer from the airport. The food is good but I guess it could be a bit predictable after a while, but the beach is a 5 minute walk away with a couple of restaurants if you fancy a change and don’t mind paying for a meal out now and again. The sunsets on the beach are breathtaking. There is plenty of little shops to look around just outside the hotel, a small supermarket and kiosks to book excursions etc..the water park is free with the all inclusive also. It’s very family oriented, with aquarobics in the mornings and entertainment for the little ones in the evening and plenty to keep everyone entertained during the day. The pool bar is good with the option of getting a hot dog, hamburger or ham and cheese sandwich and you can help yourself to soft drinks and some of the beers, sangria and some cocktails are included in the all inclusive menu too. There’s also a coffee machine. If you want to venture out of the hotel area, there is a bus stop and bus number 9 takes you into Puerto Rico for 2:80 euros for 2 people and the buses are every 20 minutes from the top of the road. I would recommend some of the excursions as the hotel is quite isolated. But for us, so far so good. I would highly recommend coming.
