I have just returned from Taurus Park hotel and i loved it. I went half board which was all i needed to go because breakfast kept me full until tea time, but if i was hungry i would get something from the snack bar. The food was excellent because there was dishes for fussy people and also ones for people who liked to try out new things. They also catered for young children and provided high-chairs.It was all cooked very well and the chefs were really friendly and helpfull. In the morning you could walk straight in, but in the evening, depending on what time you went, you had a 10-20 minute wait.

The hotel room was cleaned extremely well every day by the maids and i never hears of anything being stolen from the rooms, but just in case you could get a safe. The cleanliness by the pool could have been a little better, but it was always cleaned at night.

The location was good because it was about a 5 minute walk to the centre of pineda and a 15 minute walk to Callela, which is worth going for presents as they have a wide range of shops. Although the hotel is next to a rail way, it isn't a bother. i thought it would be at first, but you can hardly hear it and it isn't very often anyway. The beach is just across the way and is really fun too.

The hotel staff are amazing, especially the entertainers, Spanish Charly and Anna, English Kelli, Deutch Kim and Mattijn and German Anne. They are so much fun and totally make your holiday. I am a 13 year old who joined in most of the activities that occured throughout the day so all children are allways busy and having fun. I made 53 friends this year and the entertainers allways made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The waiter jose never smiled once whilest i was there but it was a laugh to see him being grumpy. The security gaurds alfonso and sebastian were really funny as they shouted at you in spanish and we couldn't understand a word....... not that me and my friends were ever naughty!

Entertainment lasted throughout the night, but if you wanted an early night, the noise wasn't heard. Thre were shows and caberat and discos. For the younger ones there was a mini disco but lots of adults joined in too! The entertainment was great. In a playbavk show, the ladies would love it because Mattijn and Charly dance in ONLY a thong, phwoar!

I would defenatley come back to this hotel again and most people i knew cams every year because it's so good. It really does live up to it's super family name because all ages had a really good time.

GET BOOKING 'COS YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

Hotel as usual (this is out third time back) was exceptional, clean friendly and chilled. Lots of entertaiment for the kids and adults alike.

Big cheers to Kelli, Anna, Anne, Matt, and Charlie and of course the newbie Kim and the brilliant Thompson rep Jenni. They all made the holiday go with a swing and made you feel welcome and wanted.

Every year when we go back there have been improvements and this year was no different.

The kids loved it so much they have already begged us to book for next year!!!

this is the 5th time we have stayed at this hotel.every stay is as good as the previous one. the hotel is very clean and well looked after.the staff are all very contientious about looking after the hotel and everyone who stays there.very friendly people.

the hotel food in my opinion is first class . there are enough things on offer to please just about anyone.the breakfast becomes a little monotonous after a few days but there are still options to help overcome this.all in all the food is terrific.

the location of the hotel was fine for us.no busy nightclubs or loud bars too near.the beach just over the road.only a 10 minute walk into Callella where you can shop til you drop. if your going to go to Callella you must visit the chineese restaraunt at the very top ,a few doors along from the mcdonalds! the food in this chineese is absolutely gorgeopus and very reasonably priced.the staff in the hotel are all very good as i said earlier , they try and do whatever they can to help if you need it.

the entertainment staff are second to none ,they keep everyone ticking over with plenty of different activities on offer. the kids reps are also brilliant ,they do such an excellent job and always with a smile. the bar staff are all excellent.the waiters on duty are experts at what they do , especially during busy times.

the entertainment on offer is also very good.having been there 5 times now we have seen a few of the shows before but anyone who hasnt will enjoy the efforts put in by a very very hard working team.one of the things that makes this such an ideal place to go on holiday is the fact that the kids feel safe and secure.we have a 10yr old and a 14yr old and they both enjoy themselves everytime we go.we all know that if the kids are happy then the parents are happy , this is so true.

all in all this hotel is well worth a visit.there is something for everyone and if there isnt well you must be pretty particular in what you want!!! and do remember it is a Superfamily hotel so there are plenty of kids of all ages going about!!!

this has got to be my worst holiday ever !! the people at the hotel are very nasty and don't have any time for you at all !
i have 5 children aged between 1 and 16 and all of them hated the holiday . there was nothing at all for them to do and the kids clubs were unsupervised !! and for my older children the pools were disgusting and there was glass evrywhere.
the evening entertainment was rubbish and i nearly fell asleep of a eveniing watching it .
1 of the male entertainers who i don't wish to name was always surrouded by teenage girls and by the look on his face he loved all the attention , he didn't seem focused on his job .
the best part of my holiday was going home !!!!!!

even though we hated the holiday we have booked to go back next year to see if there has been any change!!! we made several complaints about the staff and the hotel in general !!!!

The hotel is clean and tidy but beware of the cleaning staff coming into to your room early in the morning when you are still in bed. This could have been avoided if "do not disturb "signs were more available. I did see one or two but did not have one is our room. When the rooms were cleaned though the maids did a good job.

The pools are great and cater for all ages and there was never a shortage of sun beds although they were a bit uncomfortable if you didnt either purchase a cushion ( 1 euro per day) or use a lilo on top of them. The snack bar next to the pool was good value for money and the food and drink was varied and prompt.

At dinner times beware of the queues..... Although they seemed long they did go down quite quickly, usually within about 15 minutes. The food is plentiful and of a good quality however the kids thought there could have been a little more to chose from at the "kids zone" Anna, who sits at the entrance, is a credit to the hotel and is always polite and friendly. Breakfast could have been a little more varied as, if I had stayed for a further week, I would have become a little bit bored with the repitition.

Now onto the Reps............. They were by far the most energetic and friendly bunch I have ever come across. They seemed to be on the go from morning till night and nothing was ever too much bother especially for Kelly and Charlie. The entertainment during the day was good ie water polo, volley ball quizz's etc but we were not forced into joining if we did not want to. The entertainment at night was mainly performed by the reps and although they did a great job the holiday would have benefited from a little variety from outside entertainment. The view was not always great if you are sitting in the smoking area.

I would highly recommend th Barcelona trip (football stadium and fountains) It was a great day out. Our guide was Joe who was so knowledgeable about the City it made it so much more interesting however don't expect to get any sleep on the coach as Joe can take for England (or Spain). The fountains were fantastic. A little tip for you..... When you think the music and fountains have finished don't get up to go until the song "Barcelona" comes on a couple of minutes later. You wont want to miss it. Although the view of the fountains is great from high up the sound is not great so I would also suggest sitting close to the fountain. Beware of pick pockets though.

Anyway to sum up. Overall the holiday was great. Although the resort was quiet we didnt get bored (even the seventeen year old) and I would recommend it to anyone in need of a nice relaxing break.

The hotel was lovely, really clean. We had a family room which sleeps 5 comfortably. The maids were in cleaning every day and the room was always left spotless. The food was very nice, if a bit "samey" after 2 weeks. One small critisism - the kids section could have been a bit more varied, but there was always something for everyone. If you go, don't miss the pancakes for breakfast!!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, as were the Thompson reps. The kids club was very well run and my daughter enjoyed going. The hotel entertainment was very good, but if you are not into that sort of thing it doesn't matter because once you are in your room you can't hear it! There are excursions availale through the reps, but if you want to do your own thing there is no pressure on you to buy their trips.

Overall, an excellent holiday and we would definitely go back!!

we have returned from a 2week stay at the golden taurus park hotel on wednesday morning ! this has got to be my BEST holiday ever and we are booking to go back next june for 2weeks.

the entertainment at this hotel is out of this world and the entertainers are amazing especially charlie kelly and matiyne a love you all loads ! i have a 8 month old son who i was concerned about before we went but he was looked after really well and if you took your babies bottles and things into the resteraunt with you they would sort it out for you ! i took my son in the soft play area sevaral times and he loved it ! i also have 9 year old twin girls and a 12 year old son and they all loved it ! the food at this hotel is very varied and there is somthing for everybody to eat !
what more can i sat really it was brilliant ! can't wait to see you next year kelly ! and bridget sorry about the little fall out we had but i still love you loads girl.
next year will be our 7th time at this hotel !

we stayed for 2 weeks on half board basis with our 6 year old son.the hotel is spotless.the chambermaids certainly earn their money.clean towels daily,bed changed when you want.cleaners on the go all the time.

the food is excellent.a good choice to suit all tastes.the omlettes for breakfast are a must.
the snack bar food is reasonably priced too.

the hotel is across the road from the beach and about 5mins walk from the shops and pubs of pineda and 20 mins walk from callela although the noddy train goes to both for 2 euros return.there are free buses that stop outside the hotel that go to most attractions.

hotel staff seem to be ok.very friendly with the kids especially the security guard at main entrance at night.

the entertainment is good for the kids.shows after the mini disco are varied and not bad.saturday night is bingo which is boring as they call each number in about 6 different languages and it takes ages.certificate giving is a bit long too and they could do with letting the mini disco go on longer instead.thomson staff are good with the kids.the evening club is handy but you need to sign your kid for it in the afternoon to get a place as it is popular.

This is a lovely clean hotel, the cleaners are always on the go in the public areas. The gardens are very nice. There are five pools in all including one indoors which our children used earlier in the day as they thought the freeform pool was too cold! Plenty of sunbeds and handy having bar in middle of pool - it was nice to sit in the shade with a cold drink. Rooms clean and towels changed every day. Food excellent, especially evening meals, usually a good variety and loved the fresh fruit. Snack bar menu very good. Toilets always clean. Reception and seating area beautiful. The hotel is on main road across from beach and railway line although it never seemed noisy. The evening entertainment was ok, but the entertainment lounge was a bit of a let down - lots of pillars spoiling view of stage. The stage area was a bit on the small side and could have been higher. Last year we went to another superfamily hotel in Salou (The Calypso) and the entertainment was outside at night on a huge stage which could be seen by everyone, and the shows the reps put on every night were excellent. The Grease show at the Calypso was by far superior to the one we saw at the Taurus park.

The Taurus Park is a clean hotel with good food and lovely pools. It is more like a 4* than a 3*. Great for a family holiday. Only let down was the entertainment at night (apart from the tribute band the 4tops who were brilliant). Perhaps if the stage had been bigger the reps would have had more room to show off their talent.

What can I say, Taurus Park has made my holiday absolutely excellent! The food was fantastic, especially the pancakes!! Sergio(One of the chefs) makes the best pancakes in the world, and everything else is always lush, from all of the chefs. What I found that was really nice was the friendliness of everyone, the Entertainers, the Thomson reps, the Chefs, the Waiters/Waitresses and the Receptionists. The Entertainment team were truely excellent for everyone but I found that they were especially good people round about my age(12). Kelli, Charly and Anna were my favourite Entertainers as they never seemed to stop going! Mattijn, Anne and Kim were really good aswell but I knew Kelli, Charly and Anna from the year before. The evening shows were really, really entertaining and were really funny! .I will definately visit this hotel again and I hope that all of the same Entertainers will be there!
