Gran Hotel Taoro genuinely exceeded every expectation I had. I am a seasoned traveller and have stayed in many excellent hotels over the years, but this has firmly established itself as one of my absolute favourites. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The hotel is immaculately clean, the rooms are beautiful, and the grounds are absolutely stunning. The pools are fantastic and the entire hotel has such a relaxing, luxurious atmosphere that I genuinely did not leave the hotel for the entire holiday. There was simply no reason to. One small thing that I particularly loved, and perhaps this is quite a niche thing to mention, was the music throughout the hotel. They played lovely, relaxing jazz music which created such a peaceful atmosphere throughout the day. Sitting around the hotel or by the pool with the music playing in the background was just perfect. It is a small detail, but it really added to the overall experience and atmosphere of the hotel. What really stood out, though, was the service. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly welcoming, attentive and professional. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the level of service throughout our stay was outstanding. The food was another highlight. Everything we ate was excellent, with a great selection throughout the hotel, and the drinks were just as good. Considering the quality of the hotel, food, drinks and service, I also thought it represented incredible value for money. It is difficult to find anything I would change. The rooms, pools, restaurants, grounds, cleanliness and especially the staff were all exceptional. The hotel manages to feel genuinely luxurious without being overly formal or pretentious, which made it incredibly easy to relax and enjoy being there. I went into this holiday with high expectations and Gran Hotel Taoro completely blew them away. It is rare that I leave a hotel already thinking about when I can return, but I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to stay here again one day. I cannot recommend Gran Hotel Taoro highly enough. If you are considering a trip to Tenerife, stay here. It was absolutely incredible.
