Tao El Cotillo

We stayed at Easter and had a great time. The apartments are very clean with adequate facilities we did a little bit of self catering but ate out mostly in lots of fab restaurants.We would maybe avoid easter weekend as there were some slightly rowdy celebrating rowdy locals in the hotel . The entry arrival system is a bit frustrating, so maybe email for entry codes in advance (but everyone seems to cope eventually. ) There was no fighting for sun beds . Staff were polite and smiley the supermarket 50 yards away was well stocked and reasonably priced .

It was our second time here and still love the place. We hope to come back soon.

Just returned from a very nice few days at this complex. Arrived at 1330 hours on a week day to find entrance door secure. ( which is good as it prevents unwanted visitor). There is a phone number provided to contact reception, who pass the door code to you. ( a problem if you do not use a mobile, rare I know) Once in, was greeted by a nice young lady who gave me the lock box number for my room B2. I must say on first impression I was a little disappointed on the approach it was tuck down between two staircases to the up stairs apartments. The seating area probably only get a max of 2 hours sun, but is sheltered from the wind and gives a narrowed view of the pool. The inside of the apartment was very spacious, with a double and a single bedroom. All very clean and tidy. Large storage wardrobe in the double, much bigger than I have a home. Kitchen area is equipped with a ceramic hob, over, microwave and washing machine. Enough utensils to use, although could do with some mugs, wine and large tumblers. No salt and pepper though. Bathroom is okay, Just a shower cubicle, but plenty of hot water. Towels were lovely and soft. The lounge/ diner had a four seater table and a sofa, big enough for 2 adults. There was a smart TV, showing Spanish only programmes, but with a faculty to change the language to the country of origin. Also was able to cast download programmes from my phone and watch the cricket from Youtube. The complex had a small pool and kiddie paddling area and plenty of sunbeds. Next to the complex is a decent supermarket. The complex in on the edge of town, but only a 10 minutes walk, also the same for the beach. I'm not into lively bars and shopping areas, so the resort suited me. Would I go back to the accommodation, yes, I would, but would try to secure an upper floor location.

We loved our stay here the only thing that let this down was the access on our arrival. We arrived after 10pm and on arrival the property was in darkness with contact details taped to the door we phoned the number but wouldn't go through as we didn't know the area code We had our 13 son with us which found this very upsetting.thankfully we was help by another guest. I think the door code should be emailed along with the apartment number and code to the key safe.it would be less frustrating to guests and a better experience and level of communication. Also add yhe area code in instead of +3 as not everyone would know it is 00.
