Suitable for day, rubbish for evening
Taimar scrapes in at a 4 star by definition. It is a hotel that is designed for the day and definitely not for the night. Positives... The staff were nice and helpful. Room (prem suite) was lovely, amazing shower and lovely private veranda where I could have a sunbed and tan in peace. Food delicious, every day was different and the communal food area pleasant. The pool area was clean and opened at 10am when breakfast finished so there was no sunbed hogging... You could come down at any time and always get a bed. The wind was cooling in the day so you could lie out in the sun without boiling but it felt chilly in the evening. Negatives... The pool was cold (said it was heated) but it wasn't a nice temp.... Not many people in it. I knew there was no evening entertainment but there was no real social space for the evening. 3 high tables on the side of the eating area were all that was there. No comfy sofas at all...people tended to get their drinks from the canteen bar and go to their room. Overall it suited me & my kids for the week but I like evening entertainment so wouldn't be back.
TERRIBLE 🤬
OMG THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE! Save yourself from this white walled hell hole 😩 the food is diabolical, the cleanliness is sub standard, the pool and pool area is small but ok, there is nowhere relaxing to sit and enjoy a drink at night unless you are happy staying seated at your canteen table, it’s like being in a nursing home waiting for god 👎 no music or entertainment the hotel is situated at the back of beond I will never come back to this depressing place we stayed at the club magic life in Jandia a few weeks ago for less money and it absolutely knock spots of this place, it’s just about a 3 star and nowhere near a 4 star ??
6 nights in late September
Location: almost the furthest away you can be from the beach in the whole resort town. This is just a heads up as you need to know this before you book. It is about 20-25 minutes walk to the beach, if you take the walkway from the road towards Bar Africa (open to that hotel's guests only).
Atmosphere: no atmosphere really as very quiet around the restaurant area and pool bar most of the times due to no music, no entertainment. Occasionally they put YouTube music on the TV in the restaurant and turn it up so you can hear it.
Room: decent size, very good shower, always hot water available at all times of the day. Air conditioning in the bedroom is the only thing that really let it down the hotel experience, as the temperature seemed to be capped at 25C. With it being 30C at night in September, and upwards of 37C in the day - this meant that the room was always very hot!
All Inclusive: highly recommend the drink options as all wines come out of bottles, red, white, rose and cava (very popular!!). They also do a few spirits and liqueurs not advertised including a local bitter orange aperitivo to make an aperol spritz (also popular once other people see you with one!). The staff do a great job with the cocktails - shaking the ingredients to order, including pina colada, mojito and s** on the beach.
Overall: I'd only reconsider not coming again due to the location, the walk to the beach, and generally the entire Costa Calma resort being a bit run down compared to other places on the island, and other Canary islands which we frequently a lot. Food was average, drink packages above average, cleanliness was fine (daily cleaning), pool area great, lots of sunbeds etc always available - maybe the aircon situation could just be improved.

Once was enough
Good points Nice rooms smoking in designated areas only no night time entertainment good pool coffee from the machines was quite nice food was ok too location very residential Bad points Certain staff could be happier at work Place needs a good clean esp the sun beds in the adult only part not once did I see the staff use any cleaning spray for the dining room tables it was a cloth from the bar that was used then put back when finished No courtesy room to get ready when leaving if you can’t get a late check out also no comfortable lounge area to wait to be picked up Would I stay here again absolutely not
DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL
Hotel Taimar is shocking and I advise you to book elsewhere, the food choices are very limited, the hotel itself is run down and in need of a major facelift, I have been here 2 days so far and have spent my holiday stressed and angry spending my time with the hotel manager complaining, do not believe the website photos as they are from when it was first installed and the upkeep of this is non existent. I booked the premier suite at an extra cost only to be extremely disappointed
