although even without it there’s plenty to do with the choice of pools and entertainment on , went all inclusive and couldn’t fault it , easy to get served even table service for drinks , lots of choice in resteraunt at meals , deserts were lovely 😊 and snack bar through the day of the kids missed a meal or weren’t hungry , definitely worth paying the extra for AI .

but upgraded to all inclusive which was easily done by the reception staff and well worth it as well!

but did pay for the all inclusive breakfast one day and dinner on another and the standard was really good.

In AI they are serving premium alcohol, and all cocktails are made properly(not from sweet syrups).

Food is probably the best we have ever had in an all inclusive hotel.

We (Husband, Wife and 8yr old daughter) stayed for 1 week all inclusive with a double room with pool/sea balcony view.

We booked all inclusive through TUI and the food was incredible.

The all inclusive choice was very wide and catered for the whole family, kids always found something to eat.

We were all inclusive which made life so easy as there is so much choice.

We have stayed in many all inclusive hotels over the years and, as always, before booking this hotel read through all the reviews etc and was pretty confident we would have a fab experience.

All inclusive was worth it as the drinks were branded.

I have to say this is one of the best all inclusive holidays I have been on.

It is definitely one of the best all inclusive hotels we have stayed at.

Back from a fabulous all inclusive stay at the Golden Taurus at the end of July.

but it was so hot and busy I’d get a coach next time.

My advice ask for a room not higher than level 3 as lifts are busy all the time and takes ages to get them.

but actually it didn’t feel busy at the times we were using the facilities.

Despite the hotel being busy the the queues for the slides were not long.

There was one occasion that it was quite busy

Surprisingly the water park never seemed to get too busy.

Also, the poolside games were too busy with small children so we didn’t join in .

but could get busy with unsupervised children.

but personally would need to venture out 1 or 2 nights as is so busy and a bit repetitive.

I can imagine the hotel is super busy around school
holiday times, luckily I can avoid those times now!

The water park is fab and never that busy.

The pools do get busy,  especially the entertainment pool and there are lots of towels down early, 

Bars are busy by the pool there are other bars you can use

You could afford to loose 300 guests and it would still be busy.

Otherwise each pool is very busy with the general chatter of guests.

Absolutely fantastic hotel all staff so friendly to adults and kids, so very clean and plenty of activities to do everyday.

Staff - all friendly, welcoming and accommodating!

All the hotel staff we found were very helpful and friendly.

The staff are really friendly and helpful

first time back for 8 years , the rooms have been updated comfortable bed and with the added kettle and mini fridge in the room was handy .The food was good with plenty of choice at all times only one day in the week we stayed was the quality not up to standard as the meal we choose was luke warm .All the staff very friendly and helpful would go back again

Amazing hotel for a family breck, i spent 5 nights wit my 7 year old daughter she loved the pools n the mini disco, grest enterainment for kids thru out the day, very friendly staff, rooms are very clean n beds comfy most the rooms have sea veiw, waterpark is brillent loads to do.close to the beach, i defo wud recomend this hotel for familys, i will be returning, thanks to all the staff for a amzing time 🍺🍺🍹🍹🍹

Although the resort complex is big, it never felt overcrowded or unsafe, the pool areas along with the aqua park section were supervised by friendly, informative and fully alert staff at all times.

The entertainment was fantastic and the staff are so friendly.

This hotel is clean, well run and the staff were friendly

All staff from the cleaners, bar staff and entertainment team are fantastic and friendly.

The whole animation team are excellent, very friendly and get a good atmosphere going.

We found all the staff throughout the hotel were friendly, smiley and happy.

All the staff were friendly and super helpful - we didn’t get the impression of moody, tired & overworked people (as some reviewers stated).

Pool areas are kept clean and safe, groundskeepers go round all day collecting litter and emptying bins, lifeguard always visible and friendly.

The staff were on the whole really good and friendly with only a couple of exceptions.

All the staff work so hard and all were very friendly.

The entertainment staff are really good and the majority of staff everywhere were friendly and welcoming.

Hotel itself was nice with loads to do for kids and for parents to enjoy time away with loads of activities for everyone,

Seemed good entertainment for kids, the entertainers were extremely hard-working.

100% recommend to anyone wanting a great hotel for kids, we will be returning next June, can’t wait.

though I came with 2 brothers the effort that was put in for the kids was obvious and they loved it.

Our little girl is 3 and she absolutely loved the kids club and in particularly Merche.

As a family of 9 and a age range of 50 weeks old granddaughter to a 72 year old proud grandfather, we were all more than satisfied with our stay at the Golden Taurus aqua park resort hotel.

Staff are fantastic, facilities are fabulous, food, entertainment, bars, pools, kids club, the shows everything you can think as a family are catered for.

A water park with slides, 3 pools, children's fun areas, poolside bar/other bar, games room, night entertainment, fun day games, cycle hire, coach trips, hiking routes, nearby shops, bus/train nearby, 2 restaurants, a laundry room, an outdoor play area, they've got it all covered, oh and the beach is at the front of the hotel.

As soon as we arrive to the hotel, me and my 10-year-old son, the staff helped us out all spoke good English
Rooms are tidy.

It is absolutely great if you travel with kids!

Clean, staff are amazing, and have games for kids, teenagers and adults for things to do.

Night was okay for younger kids, later on okay entertainment.

The children loved the waterslides and we didn’t move much from the hotel.

Lots of fresh produce, plenty for the kids.

Our kids were very happy and we didn't need to keep an eye on them as everything was very safe tor.them to be around

3 adults and kids aged 13 & 10, the rooms were clean, bright and well maintained,  our room maid was Consuela who did a great job every day.

We went as a family of 6 - husband, I & 4 children (ages 3-9 years).

Hotel run kids club at night while adults watch shows, fab!

Food good, (desserts really nice) cocktails horrible (out of a bottle), free beer/wine not great - limited choices on AI - you can pay additional for better options (EG bottled beers 1 Euro if your AI).

but for what we paid it was still a disappointment.

- Shouldn’t have to pay to use a safe (€20 a week) or iron (€1.50 for 30mins) in 4* hotel
- Not enough bikes for hire (even in Sept) and why only 10am-6pm.

but come on - when someone pays for a fully/all inclusive deal that's exactly what we expect.

Not too many thinks to choose in the Bar, only one type of beer sold for AI and if wanted a Coke, 70% ice in it, same as mcdonalds🫣
Food was great for lunch, had to pay extra for a bottle of wine €5.50 as all inclusive quest and at check out they charged €18.00 or something like that.

Negative  - you have to pay 10euro deposit per towel and you have to pay 1 euro (non refundable) every time you want to change it.

but limited service hours for all inclusive which we never got our head around and teenagers often ended up having to pay for what they wanted as it was after 6, or after 10pm.

Yes if it was out of peak season and very very cheap deal 😬

Be careful where/when you get the drinks if paying for them, there was a bit of inconsistency with the size and price of drinks between the bars.

though some people are talking rubbish and expect a 5 star hotel for a 1 star price.

Maybe they are not getting paid enough or maybe that’s just how it is here.

Plus you have to pay for everything - towels by the pool, coffee and drinks for dinner (even with half board) and even to play at the pool table.

I'd suggest people who are full board get a ticket for snack food as al alternative to dinner
 

Such a shame the prices were so crazy high.

There are 2 pool tables and at 2 euros a game it is rather expensive

but paid to eat in the all inclusive buffet a couple of nights.

Horrible how boring this hotel is not gonna lie is just for families with kids that’s what you mostly see.Also I’ve paid half board which means breakfast and dinner ,at dinner time I had to pay for my drinks which I thought I would get with my dinner not even a 1 drink for free this hotel is trying to make money on everything 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼horrible how it works in this hotel everything cost money even to borrow a towel for pool I’ve been to a lot of countries and hotels

The only minus is on full board you have to pay extra for soft drinks, would be better if you up your price a bit and serve soft drinks for everyone.

Despite not being AI, we found the drinks reasonably priced - 2.50 Euros for a pint and about the same for a glass of wine.

One criticism was that one member of staff came in part way through and was giggling and whispering with a bar staff member seemingly at our expense about the solemnity of it all and obvious upset of people in the room which made me angry and like we were being disrespected.

Evening entertainment was ok - the Michael Jackson tribute was good dancer -

Their was a 60th anniversary celebration for the hotel and the entertainment staff were absolutely fabulous.

Brilliant holiday, all
The animation team are very good!

definitely will be back , animation team were good and the celebration for the 60th anniversary show was the best show of the week .

Only saw one entertainment show which was good.

There is evening entertainment for all ages.

The animation team, what an amazing group of people.

Highlight had to be the water aerobics I was dragged in to, apologies to the lovely instructor that I didn’t attend the mini disco for my certificate

great hotel, lovely staff and clean comfy rooms, entertainment nights every night both inside and at the bar outside, great water park open from 10-6, only bad thing is you need to bring cash to put deposit down for a towel which is 10 EUROS.

Excellent 
Couldn’t fault this hotel  cleanliness, good food, lovely staff, fabulous animation team.

The night time entertainment is varied and there were some really good acts especially the Queen tribute and 60th Anniversary special.

The catering provisions were again of a high varied standard which catered for all taste from the numerous different cultures.l
All members of our group enjoyed the animation and entertainment provided during our stay, be it at the poolside to the varied evening programme, the Queen Tribute group's performance along with the virtuoso violinist were exceptional.

The entertainment in the evenings were some of the best we’ve ever experienced, way better than some 5* hotels we’ve been too.

We didn't watch much of the evening entertainment as we were all a little under the weather while there

There are lots of entertainment for kids and adults during the day and in the evenings.

Five star to all staff you work very hard.

This meant a few trips back and forth to reception and more waiting.

Entertainment staff were absolutely fantastic!

Excellently clean
Great location 
Friendly helpful staff
Beautiful hotel 
Excellent food choices 
Would giggly recommend to families, couples and friends.

The animation team is full of energy and tries to get everyone involved in the activities and the evening entertainment.

First off thank you to the entire team for what was a perfect holiday.

An amazing clean hotel, very frendly staff, it deserves a 10/10.

The hotel is clean and spacious, food and drinks plentiful and reception staff very approachable and helpful, would definitely return here and already looking forward to it.

Golden Taurus Aquapark Resort

price

busy

show

all-inclusive

kid friendly

rooms spacious and clean stepps away from beach.

The hotel is virtually straight onto the beach.

The hotel is located on the beach and near the train station I actually think its the best part of the strip 5 minutes from Aloha that does the best cocktails and night vibes.

Coach drop off does not go directly outside the hotel if booked through on the beach travel republic budget holiday

Enjoyed chilling in it watching the world go by on the beach front.

Great staff at reception, restaurant, bar and cleaners etc (Shout out to Jessica in restaurant who was always smiling and full of energy) Rooms were spottless with amazing beach views.

but right on the beach and close to the strip if you wish to venture out.

It’s only a short walk away from restaurants and beach bars.

The beach is lovely & the sunbeds are free to use as a paying guest.

but let me just summarise:
•	It is by FAR the best Hotel on the strip
•	Located right on the beach
•	Great open location, picturesque views (we stayed in room 511)
•	Bars and nightlife within walking distance
•	Amazing staff
•	Amazing food
•	Great facilities  
Thank you to the whole reception team for making our stay and my Wife’s birthday so very special.

but ideal for a dip to cool down if you are sunbathing around the pool as you are literally just across the road from the beach.

Champagne on arrival and the cocktails are amazing too with a lovely beach bar, food is lovely there!

although the kalimar beach bar (associated with the hotel do delicious snacks , we highly recommend trying the beach bar food).

Kalima beach bar - belongs to the hotel and sits right opposite.

The pool and beach near the hotel leave you free to choose what you want in each.

The beach bar Kalima was also the most perfect spot to enjoy our evening meals.

Overall a fab holiday at a great hotel which has a gorgeous pool , just a real shame about our phones so don’t leave your stuff on the beach alone!! !

If you are looking for a peaceful, adult only beautiful hotel on the beach this is perfect.

All the staff were friendly, welcoming and good fun.

All the staff were friendly and the breakfast well I'm missing the breakfast 😀 cava with your freshly made omlette or pancakes, the fruit shots were delicious and how do they make mushrooms taste so good.

Staff warm delightful friendly and rocko or rock as his friends call him will give you a lesson on where tapas came from please pass this on from Ryan and to all the staff that worked so brilliant.

The staff are a real credit to this hotel, they are patient, friendly and very helpful.

The staff where very friendly with very good english.

All staff were very friendly, attentive and hardworking.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to help us enjoy our stay.

The hotel is modern with a lovely boho vibe/decor & clean, most staff are friendly, helpful & attentive.

The staff were so friendly and helpful with everything.

The staff were always friendly and on hand for any queries we needed answered.

although this is not a lively hotel for this age, there is plenty of nightlife on the doorstep so it appeals to all and they were more than happy to chill with us and loved the company of the hotel staff as they were so friendly and chatted to them so easily which they loved.

I arrived along with my best friend to be greeted with champagne and friendly staff.

Clean, tidy, comfy beds, staff really friendly.

Friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel.

They are all friendly and helpful , the bar staff are great.

Lovely hotel, staff are helpful , friendly and attentive,  good choice of food , waiter service with drinks, meat and fish cooked to liking on request.

The staff were amazing and so friendly and helpful .

Above all that, I've never met such friendly lovely gorgeous staff, from front desk to bar to restaurant, and even a lovely maid who kept our room spotless , flowers and chocolate on a sunday morning a lovely touch booking again for next year ,in a hotter month.

The quality of ingredients, the cooking and how it was served in general was very poor in my opinion.

Mainly lukewarm at best, and a poor repetative choice.

Finally the entertainment is very poor and no notice to say what is going on, and when you are by the pool nobody comes round to see if you want a drink  I think the hotel is missing a trick to make more money and mack guests fell comfortable.

Lovely clean hotel,
Entertainment is very poor, bar area too small,
No satellite TV channels in English only BBC News.

Long story short there is one dirty dirty pool, incredibly poor food, noisy poor quality rooms and the sea view they claim as sea view is 90% parking lot 5% pool area, 5% sea view.

The food was poor at best, I’m not a fussy eater at all and after
2 days we had had enough and decided not to eat there any more as it was full of fat  cold and generally not nice.

Mention has been made in other reviews of poor food in the restaurant.

The cleaning of the rooms was really poor - no cups or glasses changed during the whole week we stayed and the surfaces were never wiped.

but sadly the entertainment and the such poor food choice let the hotel down massively.

but beware there is a slope down into the sea which could be dangerous for non or poor swimmers.

The remainder of options were poor quality.

The food on the other hand ran from the remit; poor, bad and indifferent.

Poor quality, limited choice , reminiscent of poor motorway service stations in the 80's.

What was disappointing for an all-inclusive hotel was the poor selection of “free” cocktails on the menu, only two.

but from previous holidays we have had this is very poor.

The steam room, jacuzzi and sauna was a bonus when the weather was poor.

but equally some nights the music / entertainment was poor .

The food was gorgeous, buffet style, great variety.

He offered us something to eat and explained the hotel facilities.

Next I read a lot of reviews regarding the food and as it’s buffet it goes cold

The egg chef at breakfast was great, omelette's were so tasty.

Nice food with plenty to choose from, I would like to see more pasta dishes on the menu and more chicken, we really enjoyed the spa as well especially the steam room for me.

The food was top notch and plenty ful all through the courses and a snack bar.

but similar every day, the desserts were all good!

but provided with a packed lunch from the hotel for our journey home, just ask reception and they are very accommodating for any requests.

Restaurant a shambles food Luke warm at best one microwave provided constantly in use!

but can say that the food is exceptional.

Food was presented well & dining room was light & airy and staff were great with clearing away your plates quickly & efficiently.

Great hotel excellent food great staff ,hotel could do with a notice board informing guests of upcoming entertainment as we missed most nights

We stayed B&B which was a good decision as the food is excellent, fresh and a continental mix of all sorts.

It has great food, good evening entertainment and lovely cocktails.

The restaurant always had plenty of choice at meal times, and if you didn't want to eat at meal times, the snack bar had tasty burgers/hotdogs etc.

We did venture out to try a few other restaurants

The room was comfortable and clean with a nice balcony.

Rooms were spacious and really clean with great facilities.

We were allocated room 309, a cosy double room with a lovely sea view from the balcony.

It had everything we could need, including all the toiletries in the room, even a toothbrush and razor which was ideal as we travelled light.

The room was cosy and attended to every day by cleaners.

but the hotel and our room were cool and airy.

Room cleaned daily and fresh towels, modern and air conditioning great for the hot days.

The rooms are cleaned daily as is the rest of the hotel.

Rooms spacious and beds really comfy too.

The gentleman on reception greeted us and checked us in to our room swiftly.

Air conditioning in the room, LCD and refrigerator.

however as we were in a ground floor room this meant we got free sun beds for on the beach instead of having to pay €6 per bed.

Bed really comfortable and everything you needed in the room.

We had a beautiful room with fabulous view.

Rooms extremely clean and balcony was lush.

and it was the best yet.. every thing was made perfect by Laura and all the staff..the food was varied..never had a problem  with choice ..the restaurant staff were so obliging nothing was too much trouble..our room was cleaned every day and our maid so keen to please..no negatives what so ever..we can't wait untill next time..many thanks again..from Steve&Sue..506.

Please feed this back to all staff waiters cleaners bar reception fantistico 10/10

Great Service 
well i cannot recommend the staff any higher from reception to cleaners to bar staff waiters and the maintenance crew .

Greeted at reception warmly with a glass of Champagne which is quite nice and upmarket.

Service was good though, with quick drink serving and table clearing

The pool bar staff in the main were not helpful.
