H10 Taburiente Playa, La Palma

Amazing staff, beautiful island

I feel like some of these reviews are a little unfair. This hotel is rated a 4 star. Yes its tired and a little dated in areas but it really is one of those you get what you pay for situations. We took our 3 year old and had a lovely room with an actual, proper third bed for her. It was spacious and had a great sized balcony with amazing ocean views. The food is just standard buffet food. We just had 3 nights half board after getting a really cheap deal with jet2. There is an omelette and egg station for breakfast with all the usual bits. We had lunch rather than dinner which had a selection of different bits, nothing to complain about. Drinks werent too expensive and there are a few restaurants/ bars in walking distance and some more if you get a taxi into Santa Cruz. Its a lovely walk there during the day. The hotel staff are all absolutely wonderful and so helpful. There is a gorgeous ice cream shop that also sell amazing cakes and tea/coffee/ beer near the beach and theres a gorgeous Italian called LOsteria very close to the hotel. It is a quiet island but very beautiful and worth it for a few nights. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again if I were to come back.

Enjoyable stay

We are an older couple and despite the recent storms enjoyed our stay at the Taburiente last week. For those already booked this review may put your mind at rest. I can sympathise with previous travellers but our experience was much better. We had a standard room with sea view which was large, comfortable and kept immaculate. Beds very comfortable too. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is in a really good position. Few mins to bus stop, shops, cafes and beach, next to promenade walkway which you can use if happy to walk to Santa Cruz about an hr with stops. You can book trips with rep or little travel bureau outside using cash or card.We have travelled extensively and yes food isnt the best weve had but certainly not the worst and also found eating slightly later not so crowded but as a positive the drinks for an all inclusive were very good and feel the positives for the hotel far outweigh the negatives. Due to the fact that many trips were cancelled last week and not many pool days we will hopefully return and experience sunnier weather. We did go on the South Island volcano tour which in our opinion was very good and has many good reviews by others.

A Truly Authentic and Wonderful Stay at H10 Taburiente Playa

A Truly Authentic and Wonderful Stay at H10 Taburiente Playa From the moment we arrived for our 14-night holiday, we felt a sense of calm and genuine cultural immersion at the H10 Taburiente Playa. As a UK family, we instantly appreciated being in the minority, surrounded by Spanish guests from the mainland and other Canary Islands. This created a truly authentic atmosphere that allowed us to feel like we were truly experiencing another culture, not just another tourist resort. The hotel served as a fantastic base camp for our young family to explore the stunning island of La Palma with our hire car. The staff's dedication and warmth were a consistent highlight of our trip. They are all incredibly hard-working, yet they always served with a smile, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We were particularly grateful for the exceptional service from Juan, Pedro, Daniel, David, and Yessica, who consistently went the extra mile to make our stay pleasant and memorable. Mealtime was a delight, with the delicious food and a wide variety of options. Even our picky small children were soon trying something new and delicious dailya testament to the quality and appeal of the menu. The hotel also kept us and the kids entertained with regular daytime activities, including pool foam parties and inflatable slides, which were a fun and welcome touch. Beyond the hotel, we explored some of the island's most beautiful spots. We were captivated by the breathtaking capital, Santa Cruz, and the amazing views from Mirador el Time. A day trip to the sea pools at Charco Azul was fabulous, and we found the facility at Volcán San Antonio to be an incredible way to learn about the island's volcanic history. A special and unexpected highlight for our football-mad son was the II TORNEO U19 BONITA Cantepro tournament. It was a fantastic experience to watch some amazing football and to have many of the players staying at our hotel. In all, we absolutely loved our holiday. We're already planning our return and now completely understand why La Palma is affectionately known as "Isla Bonita."

Relaxing 10 days

This was our very first visit to La Palma and the H10 Taburiente Playa, it did not disappoint. We appeared to be the only British couple there but the reception staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our room (double with sea view) was comfortable, clean, shower/bathroom perfect. Restaurant clean, friendly staff and a wide variety of food each day. Pool bar again clean and staff pleasant. Pool areas clean and had plenty of sunbeds not enough parasols though. The lobby bar was really nice and the barman was lovely and friendly, shame it was only open 8am until 12 noon. We would definitely return. Great value for money.
