Hotel location was brilliant everything was very close shops, bars beach restaurant car hire.

Hotel staff was very helpful.

Rooms was looking over the pool on second floor good location and just in the right place. Rooms was very basic 1 saucepan two ring hob, could have been better equipped. Cleaners were not that fussy although we cleaned our own room the balcony area and window was not touched for the whole 2 weeks a quick lick around with the mop and that was it and had about 7 friendly cockroaches with us and brought one home as hide in my daughters clothes (cockroach is now deceased)

We had a good time but 10-11 days would have been enough

Our room was cleaned everyday bar 2 - Sundays and Wednesdays. They didn't take particular care either. A quick whip round with a mop and a change of sheets every other day.

Our room location was good but not the best. We were on the ground floor facing all the restaurants and cafes, despite booking a sea-view. We asked about this and they said that it would cost an extra 15euros a night.

The staff were friendly and helpful, although our Reps were scarcely seen.

The entertainment was brilliant, with entertainment in the evening and games during the day, adult only, tenn only and child only.

I would visit this hotel again.

First class, no problems, staff friendly. Room at top number 1314, overlooking beach, what a view.

When you book ask for beach view and top floor. Would we go back? Oh yes as often as I could.

We chose these particular apts because of the excellent reviews regarding the children's entertainment and they were pretty accurate, if you have children who like to be entertained from morning till night then these are the apts for you, our kids loved it.

The location was very central and its a lovely beach.

We chose all inclusive as it didn't work out that much more than self catering but we wish we hadn't. The food itself was fine, there was a moderate selection and everything was fresh and cooked well. Unfortunately the all inclusive here was very selective, breakfast was fine, lunch was from the beach bar between 1-3pm and you had about 6 choices listed from a different menu to the rest of the guests, if you were still full from breakfast and didn't want to eat between those times,tough! The next time you could eat was 6.30pm , no crisps or other snacks available (which is a pain if you've got kids).

The drinks were worse again, lager was extremely watered down and even though the cocktails were all the same price, you were only allowed a choice between 3 each day, put it this way I rarely drink but drank every night of this holiday and never got drunk!

The staff were on the whole quite miserable, we changed rooms 3 times in 24 hours. The first smelled like a sewer, the second overlooked a balcony full of pigeon poo and was filthy, eventually we were given a room overlooking the pool which was fine but all the rooms need a good overhaul.
The towels were changed regularly and beds made etc.

The sunbeds here are not'unleashed' until 9.30!! If your not out then, you just don't get one.

To sum up- entertainment for kids was great, hotel & staff (both need complete overhaul!), food nice and probably worth opting for if your getting a bargain deal but to be truthful the food is just as cheap outside hotel, location perfect.

We would rate this as a 2/3 star.

Loved this holiday we are trying to get back again it is brilliant the entertainment is fab and my whole family enjoyed it all the people were lovely and we met lovely friends I will definitely go back this year or next thanks ...

After reading a few bad reports about this hotel on a few websites I almost transferred my accomodation with Airtours 2 weeks before I went.

I'm so so glad I did'nt! The location is spot on, right on the beach !! As soon as we arrived we were checked in really quickly no problem. We were allocated a 1 bedroom apartment in block 4 and with 2 children it was more room than we've ever had on a package holiday (usually 4 beds in a row crammed into a twin room in most spanish resorts.)

The room was spotless,microwave ,kettle, toaster,fridge 2 ring hob, clean towels every day except sun and tue .Did'nt see one cockroach in room at all. Food not bad at all,breakfast plenty of choice from cereals to your bacon eggs sausages. chef there making omlettes ,fillings of your choice ,pancakes and frying your eggs ,fresh fruit,croissants and all the stuff for the ham and cheese brigade.

Evening meal was a bit of a strange affair not for the fussy eaters some nights some strange combinations although you could muddle through, lovely sweets ,ice creams and again fresh fruit.

3 pools and surrounding areas clean but the most miserable life guard you've ever seen I really dont think he's happy in his work he never cracked a smile all week.

Entertainment team work hard but we didnt bother with the show most nites it was a bit like butlins not for us although some might like it. Don't and I mean 'dont' get tempted to go to the shamrock irish bar out of the hotel straight on across the road in the little courtyard 3 soft drinks and 1 smirnoff ice 15 euros!! Needed a stiff drink to get over the shock.

Some lovely restaurants around sea front if you want to give evening meal a miss one night,we had a fab Chinese and relly cheap.

I must give a mention to the BAY VIEW bar right on the end of the beach best prices on food, all home made, iced pint of san miguel 1 euro 50 and a lovely welcome. Give it a try don't be tempted into the bars on the way save yourself and your pocket going to the BAY VIEW and there's a short cut up the side of it back to the hotel too.

All in all a fab holiday definatly go back again to this resort and this accomodation, and to all those who slagged off this accomodation if you want platinum go and book it and pay the prices.

When we arrived at this hotel we did not know what to think after reading some reviews. We was pleasantly suprised the reception staff were friendly and we did get booked in pretty quick. The room was spacious and clean, we asked for a view and this is what we got, we looked out of the patio doors to a magnificent view of the ocean. The hotel pools were clean and spacious and there was always a bed available. The staff at the pool bar were really friendly and every time we went there our drinks got cheaper throughout the day.
The reps were really helpful, especially Adam, he had us running to and from the shops for drinks and went out of his way to help us. We used the restaurant once for breakfast as only place open as we were going on a trip early and the food was nice and good value for money. Overall we would go back to this hotel again. Our rooms were cleaned for 90% of our stay and towels were changed as and when requested.

We stayed on an all inclusive basis in 1 bedroom apartment. Apartment a bit shabby, well used but cleaned daily and bed and towels changed daily.

Food fantastic, best I have been to in Spain omelette's made to order as well as fried eggs, freshly made croissants. Snacks at lunchtime from menu and cooked to order, excellent and again evening meal great choices.

Staff very friendly.

Apartments if better this holiday would rate 5 out of 5.

We stayed in the Puerto Tahiche Aparthotel, from 20.4.06 until 4.5.06 on half-board basis.

The Hotel itself is very well located, with alot of entertainment around the hotel. The rooms were furnished to a good level and cleaned every other day.
The view from the hotel is beautiful (if you get a sea-view room) however if you get a pool-view on the bottom floor, you hear the cleaners and their trolleys over the pavements from around 6.30 am, but over the fortnight and a few scoops the night before, you do get used to the noise!


We found the food to be of an excellent standard. There was a great choice each and every night, with a carvery selection, and at least five hot dishes and also a salad bar with a selection of cold meat and cheeses, plus a choice of desserts and ice-cream.

we went to the Puerto Tachiche in March 06 on an all inclusive basis.

Our first impressions on visiting the hotel we were impressed, it seemed big and was in a central location close to all the bars and the beach.

The hotel seemed clean and when we entered our room it was spotless and smelt lovely! Our room was fairly small but as there only two of us it was not a problem. Our balcony had good views of the pool and the sun seemed to shine on it all day. The only thing about the room I didn't like was crawling up 3 flights of stairs every night!!

We were all inclusive so ate mainly in the hotel. The food on first impressions was lovely they would often cook big fish steaks and have meat cut straight from the bone which was nice. There was pasta every day which got a bit boring and there was a salad bar if you didn't fancy hot food. Puddings were a strange fluorescent green colour but there were mousse and fruit if you didn't fancy that!! Over all the food was nice but if we had stayed for more than one week I think we would have started to eat out as the food seemed to be very repetitive.

Location was good right next to the Bull Dog pub which have karaoke every night I'd also recommend the Jelly fish and an R & B bar which I never got the name of! (it's upstairs by Saxos)The beach was near by and was lovely as there were bars near by to it where you could get the odd snack or watch a football game!

Staff were lovely at the Puerto Tachiche. They all spoke good English and were really friendly. The childrens entertainers were really good too, if you have kids I'd really recommend you take them there as a lot of the entertainment is childrens based. At 10pm every night there was adults entertainment which consisted of a few good acts including Abba girls. There was the odd night that we walked out because it wasn't very good but on the whole it was good entertainment- I even won
