TRH Taoro Garden - Only Adults

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a relaxing week in Puerto de la Cruz staying at TRH Taoro Garden. We chose this hotel because of the great reviews, beautiful gardens, being adults only for a peaceful holiday and for the advertised heated pool. For the most part the hotel lived up to expectations. The gardens are indeed beautiful and it was extremely peaceful. The hotel is clean and bright. The staff are very friendly from reception to dining to housekeeping. The dining area is really nice and the buffet which changed daily was full of choice if you have a wide pallet. I love cold spreads so made the most of that daily for breakfast and dinner (we were half board but some days switched to lunch instead of dinner which was great to have that flexibility). My boyfriend prefers hot food but also has limited taste so didn't have as much choice as he doesn't like fish but always found something. His feedback would be that it would be great if some of the food could have been kept hotter in the serving dishes, but we know that can be hard being a buffet and there was always some fresh options being cooked in front of you at all mealtimes. We were particular fans of the delicious honey dripping straight off the honeycomb at breakfast! There are some lovely lounge style areas within the hotel on the ground and sub ground levels which we made the most of for playing board games and there's a pool table which made for a fun evening one night. The entertainment was so so, some solo singers and musicians if you like that sort of thing in the small bar area (some guests - mainly our German friends - certainly did and it was good hearing them from one of the other lounge areas enjoying themselves and joining in nightly)! Great if you dont want to be out every night! The shuttle service into town runs well and we found it easy to request a cab or get one back from town when needed with a short wait at busier times which is natural, especially during a holiday period (we were in town for the Three King's Day parade which was brilliant to see). The walk into town was reasonable downhill through a park which took around 15 minutes but I can see why not many want to do the walk back up! The location is manageable though if you're aware of that and plan for it and it's worth being higher up for the views. The room itself was very nice and pretty modern with a nice balcony, the adjoining bathroom was somewhat outdated and could do with a refurb. The bed was comfy though I found the room really warm and even with the air con on it appeared to only cool to a certain temp (around 22c) which coupled with the memory foam mattress meant I'd wake up far too hot overnight even without the duvet on. My boyfriend on the other hand enjoys those sorts of temps and slept marvellously! We did have an issue with our shower changing temperature to scalding or freezing frequently, which we reported and were told maintenance would visit (this was 9.30pm, they didnt s

Excellent meals in the restaurant, clean rooms, nice and helpful personnel, especially in the reception area. The garden is a beautiful place, a quite and relaxing spot, even though the swimming pool water has been rather cold. A beautiful view of the volcano Teide quite in the front of the hotel.

The hotel looked after my wife and I very well for our week long stay. Each day we were greeted with warm smiles, endless hospitality and continuous understanding of any question we asked. From travel options within puerto de la cruz and where to visit, to dietary requirements with our food. Thank you TRH Taoro Gardens Hotel. We really enjoyed our stay.
