Location
The food was good, only problem i found was they did not really cater for young children, pizza every day and the occasional chicken nuggett. Also they do not supply juice for young children. they do have a juice machine in the resturant but you can not get to it outside opening times, also it was always breaking down, so the only thing to do is buy a bottle of juice from the shop and keep making your own. Also if you are an early riser, you can not get a cup of tea or coffee until the resturant opens, as they take all the cups in for the outside machine. The thompson rep did not know a lot, she could not even give us the correct directions to get into san antonio, do not use the hotel washing machine!!! not only is it old and rusty, but it also makes small holes in clothes. I did inform the rep, but all she said was well it is a free service!!! The reps were hardly around anyway. For all you lager drinkers, there is no lager only beer, it is very strong, so if you like lager do what we did, take your own into the hotel. It is quite cheap in the supermarket. Also buy your ciggys at gatwick, as the hotel does not sell them. the only place near the hotel to buy them is in a little bar down the road from the hotel. San antonio is the only place you can buy 200+, for all you shoppers out there, i found some great bargins in san antonio.
As for Pico and Dj, all i can say is fantastic, it was dj and picos birthdays while i was there and they both got thrown in the pool. The shows they put on were great, a lot of hard work went in to it.
The reason why i will not be returning is because i only vist one place once, i like to try different things. I have already recomended this hotel to a number of my friends. Mainly because of Pico, they love the photos. I think you ladies will know what i mean!!!

Very clean, great food, spacious rooms, all in all a great family hotel.
We met many people who were on there second visit here, some had been here lots of times.
The entertainment was OK, you tend to get the same sort of stuff everywhere you go but the kids loved it and that's the main thing, you could'nt fault the entertainment team, where they get there energy from is beyond me !
I would definitely recommend this hotel, we never heard anyone complain about it.

We stayed all inclusive and it was definitely worth it we ate out once in San Antonio and I feel was ripped off so go for the All Inclusive option.
The hotel was immaculately clean. The maids came in every day and cleaned the room to a very high standard, changed towels everyday if you needed them and there were lots of towels too.
The bedroom was air conditioned and boy did we need it. The restaurant has changed slightly from last year they now have a grill section where the chef cooks fresh fish, meat, burgers every lunch and dinner and at breakfast they cook scrambled eggs, omelette's and fresh pancakes.
They have a huge salad bar with everything you can think of on there including fresh prawns and salmon. Breakfast was the usual cooked for some, continental for others, fresh fruit, toast and pastries.
They also have another section for main meals which are varied quite a lot and also a dish of the day in the evening included paella, lamb, roast chicken, beef etc.
Overall the food is very good it's difficult to please everyone but they do do a good job. The waiting staff in there are very friendly and remove your plates as soon as you have finished and they are very helpful and friendly.
The hotel location for me is excellent as its nice and peaceful not within the madness of San Antonio but only takes around 15 Min's to walk in the centre or between 5-6 euros in a taxi. We didn't experience hardly any noise from other guests.
The pools are lovely we sunbathed down at the bottom pool near the original Cala Gracio Hotel however this year they have let this out to a French Holiday Co so as you can imagine there were lots of them there not that they did anyone any harm but down where we were it was all geared up for the French.
A little further down the complex down some steps is a little beach which is lovely with a bar on there however the beach round from that is so picturesque and is real paradise visit if you have a chance.
The entertainment team were as always EXCELLENT Pico and DJ are like a double act, Pico is lovely to look at as you will see and DJ is funny as. Ruth is in charge of the kiddie entertainment and does a good job with various activities.
Evening entertainment was good but didn't see as much as last year as another member of the family joined us a week in but wasnt staying with us so we ventured out more.
As a whole the Hotel Tanit is an excellent hotel which I would recommend everytime.

Food great lots of choice for everyone,location is not brilliant but San Antonio only 15min walk us is 1.20 euro or taxi is 5.00 euros.
Hotel staff, cleaners, chefs etc are excellent workers and payed peanuts for the hours they do.
Entertainment staff Pico,DJ,Ruth, absolutely excellent,Pico and DJ are definately the funniest entertainers I have ever seen and are great with the kids. Ruth too is very good with the kids I would defintately return to the Tanit again!!!

Firstly the good - Ideal location, just 15 min walk from San Antonio and 2 mins from the private beach.
The hotel cleanliness. Superb, the staff were always cleaning.
The pools, plenty of choice, bearing in mind you could use the Cala Gracio pools as well (Subject to the ususal problem of people reserving beds with towels.
Now the bad.
The entertainment was rubbish, the kids disco, which was on every night consisted of them singing the same 5 songs in a row and playing 1 game, which was a variation on musical statues. Whilst they played, they gave no thought to the fact that smaller children would have more difficulty and thus an older child always won.
The adult entertainment was no better, I went two nights, the first was bingo (whoopeee) the second was a game where you had to guess a song and then run and sit on a chair at the front, where if you got it right you were given a prize consisting of a sangria (urm...all inclusive means this is included anyway). Then you had to down it in one whilst "shaking your booty". I don't know what was more disturbing, the fact that the hotel entertainment team had the audacity to call it enterntaining or that some people seemed to enjoy it!
Now meal times, definitely a complete mess, there was an ok selection of food moost times, but unless you actually queued up from 7.00pm, you could not get a table for the next hour/hour and half unless you literally waited next to someone, who looked like they were going to finish. It was chaos, never experienced anything so bad.
The highchairs were dated and totally inadequate
The hotel's private beach was nice, but the only way to access it is via 2 sets of steep steps (no good with a puushchair)also most days the coasline was littered with jellyfish, so unusable.
Plus (and I realise that I might have known this beforehand)the hotel was literally filled with screaming kids until about midnight, there is no where you can grab a quiet moment.
If you are unlucky enough to be put on the first 3 floors, the "Entertainment" will keep you awake if you fancy an early night so don't bother.
I appplaud the cleanliness, but would not stay here again and would never recommend it to a friend.

The food was really good, and we all enjoyed the pancakes at breakfast.
The hotel is spotlessly clean, rooms are cleaned everyday and towels changed everyday. The maid and all the other staff are really friendly.
I had a problem with the shower in my room, reported it at 10 a.m. and it was fixed and working perfectly by 2.30 p.m.
The private beach is beautiful, but difficult to access if you are disabled.
I cannot comment on the entertainment as I never watched it.
We would all definately return to this hotel

We all loved this hotel and will return in the future. My nan was annoyed because she couldn't get a sunbed, even though she was up very early. People were reserving them with towels and then not using them until after midday. I thought this was very selfish.
We loved having water fights in the sea and the beach was really nice.
I would recommend this hotel.

This hotel is superb, the standard far exceeds 3* in all categories.
The staff are hardworking and very friendly, constantly smiling as they make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.
The hotel is of a high standard in cleanliness and decor.
The food is plentiful, tasty and with plenty variety.
There were two vegetarians in our party and there was plenty choice for all.
The room was delightfully decorated, spacious and spotless.
The entertainment was as varied as the food - but perhaps not to everyones taste.
The pools were lovely, again spotless.
The beach was private for the hotel residents, small pretty cove with sandy beach to relax on and clean water to cool off in.
Would definitely visit again for relaxing break.

The food was nice at first but got a bit repetetive but the snack bar was good for a change could've done with being open in the evening.the pools were good and a lovely little beach a couple of minutes away with pedloes
which are good fun to go on.
We walked into san antonia a few times which is a must at night as it looks lovely all lit up and watching the sunset is fabulous.
The staff could do with being a bit friendlier but having said that they are very busy the maids were lovely though.
All in all a good holiday would return but like to try different places.
