This was our second visit to the Tacande (we previously visited in December of last year). The Hotel is still excellent. The building work to the side of the hotel is nearly finished with most of the heavy machinery now gone. On Arrival we were upgraded to a Seaview Room (room 422). This overlooked the pool and was at the... more

We have just got back from a week at the Grand Tacande which I booked after reading all the reviews an this site. We knew what to expect but feared the worst when we were given room 105 despite asking for a sea view when we booked. Just a I feared it overlooked the building works so straight back to... more

I booked the gran tacande on line direct with the hotels web site because I wanted a week of luxury in the sun with my partner and our 9 year old daughter. having seen generally good reviews of this hotel on tripadvisor I booked a senior suite on a half board basis. The senior suite is described as the ultimate... more

This was the 2nd time we had stayed at the Gran Tacande. We arrived at 1pm and were aware that the official time for entering your room is 2pm so had to wait an hour as the previous occupants had not vacated it. We were informed that the room was 'one of their best rooms' so could either wait for... more

Just returned from a disappointing stay at the Gran Tacande. This is not a 5 star hotel. The public rooms are OK but our room (a very expensive senior suite) was dark and did not get any sun on the balcony until late afternoon - it appears that the majority of the rooms are similar. We had no hotel information/room... more

We stayed at the Gran Tacande between 4th and 11th march 2008. Our whole stay was better than expected with 'no fault found'. Our room was large, clean, bright and the view from our 4th floor balcony was excellent. There was even a fresh red rose in the bathroom. A small point was the lack of free tea/coffee making facilities... more

We stayed at the Dream for 5 nights. 22 - 27 Feb 2008. We asked for a non smoking sea view but got non smoking no view!- just above the Spa. Quite noisy at times. We booked a bed and breakfast stay which was more than addequate - breakfasts can keep you going all day - champagne and caviar!!! plus... more

This hotel is almost there but not quite. It exceeded our expectations in some ways yet fell short in others. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel public areas were clean, tidy and well managed. We had booked on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was plentiful, well presented and served in a spacious dining room... more

Stayed at the Gran Tacande in mid-January having picked the hotel based on (1) TripAdvisor reviews and (2) a detailed examination of the map on Google Earth. I was not disappointed. The location is perfect – between Playa Fanabe, with its restaurants, Playa del Duque with its soft sand, right across the road from the Plaza del Duque shopping center... more
