This room is the worst in the hotel after visiting many times and this was our 2nd time this year we were rewarded with a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine as valued customers and allocated the worst room in the hotel It is located next to the gym and all the budding mr /mrs attempts to brake world records end with the loudest bang as the weights crash to the floor You also have the added bonus of being directly over the workshop The air conditioning is a joke I will never return again if you are allocated this room refuse point blank would be my advice
Good hotel but could be great
I’ve just returned from a week at the Taibaba. I really would have loved to have given it a higher rating but there are some pretty major issues in my opinion which can be easily fixed.
Pros Beautiful grounds and the pools are big and inviting. Whilst not heated, there are lots of shallow areas so the water is warm Plenty of sunbeds which were a packed a little to close together so we ended up booking the Balinese beds at an extra cost each day (€20) The buffet was good, plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The grilled meats did run out fast so we were left waiting a lot whilst more meat was cooked. The junior suit was really big with a huge shower and good hairdryer
Cons AIRCON or lack there of! This really lets the hotel down as it’s not just the rooms that are roasting, the whole hotel is! Don’t bother complaining as they really don’t care. The rooms are so hot and humid, my clothes smelt damp! The birds in the outside dining area are disgusting. They eat off plates on tables and fly so close to you. Some netting could easily be installed to stop them The reception staff were uninterested and didn’t even ask if we enjoyed our stay when we checked out. Everything seemed to be an inconvenience for them.
I would go back but only when the aircon issue has been resolved. The hotel is a little out of the way but a taxi to both Melonares and Plata Del Inglés were only €6.

Good experience, nice hotel and area
Spent a week at the Tabaiba Princess Hotel in Gran Canaria.
The hotel is kept very clean and is very picturesque.
Location: closest bars and restaurants are on maspalomas beach front which is either a 30min walk downhill or a 5-10min taxi drive away. Playa Del Ingles is a great area for bars and restaurants as well and it also has a lovely beach, this is about a 15-20min taxi away.
Rooms: our room was cleaned daily, was very spacious and had a view of the palm trees surrounding the pool area. One major thing was the lack of aircon/aircon strength. Made for a few uncomfortable nights when it was particularly humid.
Pools: the pool areas were lovely, plenty of sunbeds available, no need to reserve. Option to pay for the luxury, covered sun lounges also. Man made beaches around the pools made by small pebbles and stones made for a slightly uncomfortable entrance but once in they were lovely, just wear a pair of sandals to the pool side.
Food: the main restaurant was an all you can eat buffet style, food choices changed daily but the standard chips, pasta and pizza were widely available. Best meal of the day for me was the breakfast, great options. Pool side snack bars were also great. We also ate at the Asian restaurant which I would say is not worth the visit, meat items were not cooked well, and the dishes just didn’t make much sense. Again, the lack of aircon in the restaurant was particularly frustrating, sitting next to other guests sharing the same discomfort.
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
We arrived 10 days ago, we are leaving today which we are happy about. A few pointers. Our transfer took 1 hour 45 mins, which wasn't what was stated. Its only about 20 mins away so worth booking a cab. The Hotel Beautiful looking on arrival.
Negatives
If you like being surrounded by feral children and parents that are oblivious, or actually dont care, you will love it here.
If you love children using the corridors at all hours like a race track, you will love it.
If you like warm air con, you will love it.
If you like the cleaner knocking at 8.30am to clean your room, you will love it
If you like eating in a restaurant that is so loud you cant hear yourself talk, that runs out of glasses and cups constantly, you will love it.
If you like getting at upset stomach, you will love it. Both myself and husband, plus some other English people we met all got the same bug.
If you book the a la carte restaurants they are self service buffet style.
Positives
Room spacious and comfy bed
Shower amazing
Food a lot of variety
Adults only pool a godsend but you have to wait until 10am to get let in.
Definately not value for money or a 5T Platinum. Probably not great for couples either.
So so sad and disappointed 😞
Great family hotel!
What a lovely hotel. I'll summarise!
Pools: Large, plenty of loungers all day, some sandy areas (big chunky gravel sand), some heated, no inflatables. Balls only allowed in some. No music around the pool, which is a shame. Loungers are fine, unsure what the complainers want?!
Bars: (standard All Inclusive) Self serve San Miguel, self serve BOTTLES of Rose, White, Red and Sparkling wine, cocktails via machine and soft drinks. Can ask for unbranded spirits with mixers. I saw no need to pay for additional All Inclusive options.
Food: Really good overall, only small criticism is that child options are a little limited - but they managed with the standard pizza/pasta! Service throughout was impeccable - unsure where other posters found any rude staff?
Rooms: Fine. Yeah they had a few bumps on the wall etc, but did it affect my holiday at all? No! The sofa bed just about housed my 11 and 8 year old.
Other points: Mini disco at 8:15 Pre show at 9 Show at 9:30 Evening entertainment a little disappointing. Magic and Circus ok. If children are the hotel - they will run around. I have kids, so I get it. Probably wouldnt pick a family hotel if I didnt have kids.
Overall, no issues at all - lovely trip.
