H10 Taburiente Playa, La Palma

Lovely low key chilled holiday

This was a great hotel, butthe reviews are correct. Food isnt brilliant, pool bar food is lovely; but only open until 3. Evening meals - salads were great and the cakes were amazing, just the rest. Raw chicken, and yes the food was lukewarm and they did replenish all the time, queues for drinks at bars but yes I would return. We were privilege all inclusive, but I would return on a bed and breakfast basis with privilege included as they had nicer rooms and a small room with loungers and drinks snacks included. Had lots of email correspondence before I went and can honestly say they replied quickly each time and even phoned a mobility shop for me to hire scooter for my mother, so 11/10 there! Restaurants around lovely, especially La pulpa? near the end of the beach, 10 Minute Stroll. Not as quiet as we had expected, more bars and restaurants but very low key, chilled, which we appreciated. Easy bus to Santa Cruz, or taxi 12 , which is a beautiful place for a wander and a shop, will definitely return, so even though food wasnt great, it was excellent value for money. Jet 2 rep was fantastic, even the security staff in airport were smiling, never seen than before! Lovely Island, lovely people.

A really good experience here and one to repeat.

This hotel exceeded all expectations we had. We'd read a few negative reviews so honestly can't say we experienced the same holiday as some had reported prior .. A late booking only a couple of weeks prior and what a wonderful holiday it turned out to be. The food we found to be a good selection lots of fresh fruit and very nice cake and desert selection. Always a carved meat and meat and fish show cooking . Other dishes on hot plates which I have to say didn't keep the food very hot some of the time. But not a major issue for us. Drinks were very reasonably priced for a 4 hotel and good brands too. We were half board Our room was a suite and a very nicely furnished spacious 2 areas . The bathroom had good facilities with excellent selection of toiletries. Towels changed daily . We had bathrobes and slippers very useful addition. Didn't use the coffee pod machine but was given a kettle to make tea. .the cups provided are very small for expresso so best bring or buy one if prefer larger hot drinks. Very good fridge. Housekeeping was very efficient throughout our 7 night stay and our room was cleaned well early in the day which pleased us . The facilities at the hotel are very good and realise some areas are newly refurbished and very striking other areas I'm sure will soon be the same on their ongoing programme . It's a spacious hotel with large outdoor area and multiple pools all sea facing. Very comfortable sunbeds but the umbrella's a bit hard to put up . The pool guy was helpful to anyone struggling and helped us willingly . Entertainment is low key but that suited us . The folk dancing evening was fabulous though and not to be missed . They brought the essence of this beautiful Island to all visitors and were infectious in their passion.. Bus stop and taxi rank very close to the entrance. Some bars and restaurants a short walk either way and the local beach is lovely and very close. A nice flat promenade front of hotel by the Atlantic ocean. . Santa Cruz de la Palma very close and easy to get to by local bus. taxi or car . A beautiful area to visit and I'm sure we will be coming back one day. Hotel room 5518 a side sea view room looking towards sea to the left .mountains to the right and the great little airport runway in the distance to watch the few flights a day . Fabulous ! The staff in this hotel we found very hard working .polite .helpful and very friendly and professional. In fact a pleasure to meet on every level . Kudos to the excellent management I'm sure A big shout out to the great Jet2 reps we met both in hotel and the airport. They went over and beyond to help when we needed assistance with an injury I sustained while travelling .. thank you so much to you both for your help and attention Hope one day to return for more of the same.

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.
