Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun Playa Blanca

When we arrived at the hotel, a concierge parked our car for us, which was a nice touch; this is what one expects in a hotel with such a star rating. The staff were mostly lovely (the bar staff could be grumpy at times, maybe due to the amount of people they had to serve) and the entertainment team were great with children and so friendly. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of choices, ranging from continental to 'full English'. We only had lunch once in the buffet restaurant, as the bar by the pool was easier to eat for lunch, and the food was good lunch food from there, and there are eating places within driving distance. The evening buffet was limited and 'samey' - I ate the same meal most evenings. The location is really good - right on the beach (you can get out to the beach from the hotel), and only a short drive from other good places to visit (and drivable to the volcano) - we had a car, but some friends that we met there, completely by chance, would get a taxi to nearby places they wanted to visit, which the hotel staff were more than happy to assist with. We did not visit the Italian restaurant on site - we were just never organised enough to get it booked as you have to book days in advance - but our friends did visit the restaurant and said it was lovely food. The hotel is also right next door to a small shopping arena (not really noticeable from the hotel) with a little supermarket, which was within one minute walking distance and super handy. Overall, it was a positive experience - the only downside were the blaring music late at night and the lack of reasonable variety and quality of food in the evening buffet.

Kids loved 5d cinema

Everything was great and it's a perfect set-up for a family of young kids. There's not too much nearby so the area is kind of quiet (which we didn't mind) but on site, they had everything you need. The pools, entertainment, facilities and food were all great. Despite meal times being busy, the staff were brilliant and keeping everything running smoothly and the food was very nice for 'buffet style' !

The location was perfect, outstanding sea views and direct access to the beachfront, located in a quiet and well kept area, within about 15 minutes walk to the Rubicon marina in Playa Blanca, along a beautiful wide walkway with fabulous views across to Fuertaventura. The food choices each night were faultless and the quality of food was outstanding. The staff were so helpful and made everything so easy, nothing was too much trouble. The main pools were lovely and well kept and perfect for young children. Lots of nationalities use this hotel which gives a great mix of people and also shows how positive it is viewed. The superior rooms are very large and immaculately clean with a dressing room and large bathroom with bath and separate shower and toilet/bidet separated off. The only slight negative is the decor is a bit dated, although it is not worn or tired, just not of the more contemporary theme. I thoroughly recommend this hotel for families and will definitely return.

We had a really lovely holiday , the place was so clean and fresh .Nice to have our bags delivered to our room.Gorgeous big room. Its perfect , as a couple in our 40's we enjoyeded the adult terrace and pool area , the jacuzzi section heated was wonderful. Well done !
