Tabaiba Princess

Our party was a couple with a nearly 2 year old & a couple with a non crawling 10 month old. (4 adults & 2 kids) I’ll start off with saying it’s a beautiful hotel. It’s clean and modern but simple changes could make it so much better! Rooms We stayed in twin rooms - 1228 & 1227 We wanted rooms next to each other so that when the babies were asleep we could sit together as two couples and have a bit of an evening. The only way this is possible is if you have a garden room, we didn’t know this till we got there. The rooms on the Tatium side are the quieter rooms which was great when travelling with babies/toddlers. We had requested ground floor rooms as we have a toddler who’s an escape artist. On arrival we were given 1st floor rooms and told they were fully booked so couldn’t move us. They said we could try the next day but couldn’t confirm. We received a phone call the next day and shown two rooms but even with them being on the 1st floor they both had balconies with a drop so chose not to move. The rooms aren’t big enough for a family. The wardrobe has space for two adults worth of clothing but not a huge amount more. The wardrobe doesn’t have hanging space for full length dresses & no where to store your suitcases. There isn’t an iron or kettle in the room, you have to pay extra for these. The door doesn’t lock from the inside so our toddler regularly opened the door and attempted to visit our neighbours. The patio door has a little latch to lock it but if you try and close the door from the outside it doesn’t close fully, guess this is for safety so you don’t lock yourself out but frustrating when you have a sleeping baby in the room and try not to make a sound when going for the balcony for some adult time. The garden rooms near the kids splash area didn’t have gates so we’re glad we didn’t have that room otherwise our toddler would have ran off all the time! Bed The bed is terrible & squeaked when you move. So any bad back suffers be prepared. One pillow is soft and the other is firm. Not great unless as a couple you have opposite taste in pillow types. There is loads of spare cushions which worked great as a pregnancy pillow for one of us ladies as we didn’t have the room to pack it with us Coffee Right parents, be prepared the coffee is TERRIBLE! And the nearest cafe is Starbucks which is 32mins stroll to the beach. You only get one bottle of water per stay. The supermarket across the way sells them if you need them for babies bottle etc. Food & Restaurants As you expect from an all inclusive it’s very sammie. Be warned the jelly makes toddlers hyper so allow them to eat with caution. You have to get your own drinks which we found odd for an all inclusive hotel and rather frustrating if you were solo parenting at the meal. There is always somewhere to eat during the day but we still found ourselves going out for a number of meals to get something tastier and different. We didn’t see any microwaves for heating kids food

We had a great stay here in September 23. Our room was on the ground floor, it had a seating area with a massive TV, sleeping area with massive TV, bathroom, walk in wardrobe with a safe and an outdoor patio with sun loungers. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hotels have two main bar areas, the one on our side opened around 7pm, the other was open all day in to the night. Entertainment in the evening was good, oneside was more for families and the other more for adults. The main buffet restaurant had lots of food choices and I thought the food was lovely. Liked the self service for beer, wine and soft drinks. We went to the Asian restaurant, food was fantastic. Pool area was massive, had a bar and a snack bar. All in all this is a lovely hotel, lots to do, great for families. Would recommend this for wheelchair users, lots of ramps and we found it easy to get around. It is a big place and a bit of a hike getting from our room to the restaurant and pool, we'll worth it. The all inclusive at the bars finish around 11, that was OK for us. You need to make reservations for breakfast and evening meals, they have screens in reception, staff happy to help and I think you can download an app to make your bookings. We had a lovely stay and I would be happy to come back again.

From my business as an independent hotel reviewer and have been to the island for many years this had to be one of the most luxurious hotels I’ve experienced.. From the fine all inclusive dining to the many bars on site and the adult area with plush beds and a warm pool, away from the hustle and bustle.. The hotel lavishes itself with volumes of marble and plush finishing to add to its decor beautiful seats in the whole hotel lobby, bars, and restaurants you will definitely feel at home and be comfortable in your surroundings.

We just returned 16th May after a weeks holiday. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. I decided on checking in I would upgrade to all inclusive plus. After reading all the previous reviews I said I'll try it. DONT. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. the selection is not great and needs to be looked at to charge and extra 5 euro or so on top of ai plus for a princess or Canaria cocktail should be a free bonus cocktail as your visiting that hotel and Country. All the staff were really hard working and friendly. The whole hotel is spotally clean. Their is a great selection of food to suit all tastes. The adult bar is really nice and the double raised beds around the pool are great especially if you have mobility issues using other beds like getting up and down. MAYBE HOTEL COULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE AMMOUNT OF BEDS. IT'S WORTH THE EXTRA 20 EURO. OVERALL REALLY NICE HOTEL. IF CHANGES WE IMPLIMENTED WOULD RETURN. THANKS TO ALL FOR A NICE HOLIDAY. .

Unfortunately we weren’t told by our travel agent that this was a family hotel. Room was very nice but I was so disappointed that there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The restaurant was very busy and sadly the food was average. I most definitely wouldn’t return to this hotel due to the fact that there were babies and toddlers crying at every meal. I’m not averse to babies and toddlers just not what I wanted on my holiday

The hotel was lovely, we upgraded to the prestige suite which topped of the holiday. We had to cut the trip short by 2 days due to a family emergency, the hotel staff could not do anything more to help us and refunded us the days back. Pools were great, and food was tasty. Only issues we found were that the food was often cold in the main buffet but you could microwave your food. Standard rooms don’t have any tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms whi was strange.

Just returned from a week here. It was a lovely hotel with excellent entertainment. The adults only area was first class and we spent every day there at sometime. Bar service excellent and barman always cleaning the top of bar. The surrounding areas were spotless. Room was large and good size balcony with comfortable chairs. Bathroom also very big. Food varied and exceptionally good salad selection. Only complaint was in the outdoor part of restaurant where there is a rock formation this was constantly climbed and then jumped off by young children I feel perhaps a sign put in place to try and prevent this happening. The parents don't seem to care about their children doing this. All in all a great week and hopefully return sometime in the future.

Friendly staff, nice view , clean and cozy rooms. Excellent food service. Close to the beach. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time and visit Gran Canaria. One thing that I would suggest is to have more entertainment for adults at the hotel, more live music etc.
