Just got back this is a spotless clean hotel,the hotel staff from bar to reception are very friendly.The rooms are basic though cleaned everyday with fresh towels if needed.

A great touch for the rooms would be a mini fridge to keep drinks cool but doubt this would happen but here's hoping.Good selection of TV channels in English which are BBC World, CNN, Eurosport you know the usual but they have ITV1 in the rooms too which is handy if you're not up to much and in the room.

The hotel is right on the beach which is accesed via an underpass.The food started off great but went downhill a bit but i'm fussy so i'm sure it's fine for anyone else.

You don't get any drinks provided free with evening meals at all though you can order them and pay as you leave but you do get juice/tea/coffee etc with breakfast. Just a note you'll love the pancakes in the morning a must. The resident hotel staff are great working tirlessly all day for the guests and Kellie is still there as the main one.

Not sure of the others names but there is also a German girl a Dutch guy and a couple of Spanish people too. Did'nt really have much to do with the Thomson staff as we did the holiday DIY and not through them.

This was our second visit to this hotel within a year. This time 13 of us went. Nothing much had changed since our last visit and I'm glad it didn't.

The kids entertainers are excellent!! The snack bar staff are great, but the bar staff are a little miserable. Rooms very clean and we were surprised to have a double bathroom this year.

The food gets a bit boring towards the end of the week, but still not too bad as there were a few very fussy eaters in our party.

The snack bar does excellent pizzas and spaghetti.

Thos was my 5th visit to the Taurus park, previous holiday with my family, but this time on honeymoon.

I love this hotel it has everything to offer. The staff are all friendly and could do no more to help. The food is fantastic I am a fussy eater and always find food I like.

The hotel has always been clean the maids will always acknowledge you whatever nationality. The entertainment team are brilliant always something to please all tastes.

As I have been several times I will return hopefully with a family.

Well we are a little early in our report as we do not travel until May 28th, but this will be our 9th time at this hotel since 1999.

The food is excellent it improves year after year, pancakes, salads, loads of fresh fruit daily, full English breakfast. The evening meals are different each night with a gala dinner twice a week, great choice for the kids too.

The location is in the middle of Callela and Pineda, so it is pretty quiet as you are not surrounded, by bars.

The hotel staff are more or less the same each year, they are very friendly, and more than helpful to help you.

The cleanliness is very good they have cleaners all day. The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and new towels too. There are washing machines down stairs and tumble driers and a iron.

The entertainment staff are just full of energy and they never stop from morning till night, excellent if you want to be away from bars and clubs, who needs them anyway when you have a hotel as good as this.

Stayed in the Taurus Park early in May,it was absolutely brilliant. So much for my daughter to do, I felt like I was on as singles holiday!!

Everything about this hotel is amazing, clean, very child focused, reps never stop, food not too bad.

I will definitely be returning, it was so easy for me as a single parent with a 4 year old, I couldn't believe it.

ps, watch out for Kellie's mini disco, best thing about the holiday, me and another couple of mums tried it on the last night, felt like an aerobic workout.

This hotel was great. I know Kelli really, really well now. The location is great for kids. The bike rides were great with Anne she makes you laugh all the time and so did Kelli, Somoin and Tania but Jasper was boring. That's the only thing I did not like about the staff.

I'm going back next year.

Great value for money. We stayed for one week in early May and were very impressed by the Hotel itself, being very clean and well maintained.

The reps on site were possibly the best all-rounders we have ever experienced. Thomson reps were very friendly and always willing to get the children involved, although one or two were not overly knowledgable about the surroundings / transport etc. The Hotel reps were tireless and never seemed to be off duty. The effort they put into their jobs was worthy of a special mention (so here it is!!).

Food always seems to be a contentious issue, but we found the choice to be quite good and varied and of good quality. They provide all the usual kids meals you normally find at 'home' (fish fingers, shaped food, smiley faces etc if that's your thing..)
I would imagine that at the height of summer season, there will be quite a queue at evening meals, but we went early in the season and there were never problems being seated quickly.

2 large pool areas, plenty of seating at each and an indoor heated pool too. Even the on site shop was good value for money for any water toys, boats or li-lo's.

If you're planning on a summer break to spend 'quality time' with the kids, then prepare to be disappointed - there is so much for them to do you might not see them for hours at a time!!

I would gladly recommend this Hotel to any friends with children.

*******

On a separate note - If you are interested in a visit to Barcelona, ditch the organised tours by Thomson which is overpriced and take the local train, just 10 mins walk away, directly to Barcelona central.

They run every 15 mins or so, and are cheap and clean. Adults cost about

Cannot fault the cleanliness of the hotel at all. Rooms were cleaned every day and clean towels every day. Hotel staff were excellent and entertainment team did a really good job!

Even waved us off on our coach leaving the hotel! I'm 14 years old and I really enjoyed the mini disco and I bought the cd.

My mum complained about the amount of smokers at the hotel and didnt like walking through to get from the reception area to the restaurant as it was so smoky!

The amount of parents who smoked close to their children she also found disgusting. We both thought the food was good. Especially the breakfast. Plenty to fill you up.

Shows at night were good. Can't wait to go back next year and get the entertainers e-mails so i can keep in touch with the entertainment staff. Already e-mailed the hotel to tell them how much i enjoyed my stay there! And pestering my mum to take me back again next year!i'm going to go back every year from now!

The Golden Taurus Park Hotel is fantastic. It should be a 4 star hotel when compared to some other 3 star hotels. It was wonderful coming back to a neat room which was cleaned daily. All areas in the hotel were clean and tidy and the chambermaids were nice, really polite.

Food wise, there is something for everyone but we found that to keep our cuisine exciting, we dotted different restaurants into our timetable, and got good recommendations from staff on where to eat out and sample fantastic Spanish cuisine.

The Location of the hotel was great for our party because it was nice and quiet but only a short ride by coach or train to livelier resorts and so close to Barcelona. Depending on your mood you can have a lazy day at the hotel (which isn't really lazy cos there is so much to do!) or a fun packed day of historical stuff or amusement stuff or shopping! There really is a lot to choose from, use your imagination and you won't go wrong.

Hotel staff are great, smiles all round. A very helpful bunch of people. The Thomson Reps are really great too; we had a good relationship with them. My 3 year old daughter was completely smitten with the tots team, thanks for entertaining her! The entertainment team were fantastic. They put a lot of time and effort into everything they did and we laughed for the whole week we stayed. My daughter danced at the mini disco every night and I had to buy the CD which has been on non-stop since we arrived home.

The daytime activities were excellent. There is something for everyone and all are encouraged to participate. If we didn't get involved we were lazing around watching, which was just as much fun. Watch out girls when Charly and Matt get their kit off, we all agreed, eye candy 100%!!! The evening shows were entertaining and we couldn't help but join in!!!!! Well done everyone!

We are going back next year and I think, as well as other holidays, we will try to get back for a week every year. Excellent holiday enjoyed by all 6 of us age range 3 - 40.

Hello, I returned from the Golden Taurus Park hotel on the 5 October we spent 14 nights there and it was terrific.

It is the first time I have been abroad as I don't like hot weather we decided to go at the end of the summer season. I think we timed it perfectly to match our needs as it wasn't too hot. It was just right for us.

I am a mother of 3 young children (aged 8 months, 2 and 4) so I was slightly hesitant about taking them abroad but there was no problems at all. (Apart from my 2year old son getting travel sick on the flight over) but my husband took care of that as I had my 8 month old daughter on my lap.

Now to the hotel cleanliness, this was of such a high standard I was amazed at how shiny the floors were and how spotlessly clean the pool area was.

The food was delicious as there was something to suit everybody
