Apartamentos Cordial Magec Taurito

Location is good if you’re looking for a pool holiday, poor for anything else. Buses are good in the local area but a car is much better if you’re staying in Taurito. Taxis to Puerto Rico are around €15 and much more to Mogán. The hotel restaurant wasn’t to our taste. Breakfast was fine, but Dinner was awful, lack of options, don’t go if you have dietary restrictions. Also felt like a canteen as you were expected to clear your table to a centrally placed slop trolly after eating. Pool bar is handy although bar regularly closes early at night which is understandable if quiet. Don’t expect peaceful sunbathing by the pool, games room is right next to the pool and is very loud. We were staying in 312 and could hear the noise of the games room in our room even with the doors closed and locked. Staff are lovely and very helpful. The hotel is very modern and clean. The apartments are a good size with full size fridge freezer which is handy. The car parking situation is a total nightmare. Costs €6 per day and you are allocated a space but regularly come back to find your space taken by another car. It’s also very tight parking.

MY HUSBAND AND I ENJOYED A WEEKS HOLIDAY CHECKED OUT ON SUNDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER. WE ARRIVED VERY LATE AT NIGHT AND WERE DELIGHTED TO SEE SOME FOOD HAD BEEN LEFT IN THE FRIDGE IN OUR APPARTMENT WHICH WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL. THE HOTEL IS SPOTLESS THROUGHOUT AND WELL MAINTAINED IN ALL AREAS. ALL STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY HELPFUL AND APPROACHABLE . NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THEM. THERE WAS A LOVELY ITALIAN LADY IN THE DINING ROOM AND A MAN WEARING GLASSES WHO TOOK THE TROUBLE TO SERVE THE WINE IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY THAT WAS VERY SPECIAL AND APPRECIATED. ALL STAFF WERE VERY SMILEY AND LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE HAPPY DOING THEIR JOBS. BREAKFAST WAS AMAZING SUCH A WIDE CHOICE OF OPTIONS TO SUITE EVERY TASTE BUT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF ISSUES WITH THE COFFEE MACHINE WHICH THE STAFF TRIED HARD TO RECTIFY. EVENING MEAL WAS ALSO VERY ENJOYABLE WITH A GOOD VARIETY OF CHOICES AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO BE ABLE TO TRY SOME TRADITIONAL CANARIAN DISHES SUCH AS THE WRINKLED POTATOES AND MOJO SAUCE. WE HAVE NEVER STOPPED IN SUCH A RELAXING PEACEFUL PLACE BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO NOISE FROM THE BARS AND OTHER HOTELS DOWN TOWARDS THE BEACH. THE POOL IS A GREAT SIZE AND THE VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAINS WHEN YOU ARE SWIMMING WAS BEAUTIFUL. WE ENJOYED MANY DRINKS DURING HAPPY HOUR AND JUST SOAKING UP THE ATMOSPHERE. WE WOULDNT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THIS LOVELY LITTLE HOTEL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

These apartments are possibly the nicest we've ever stayed at, they're modern, spacious and airy, all with lovely views over the pool and resort. We were there 10-19 March, the weather was perfect, and we had a most enjoyable holiday. A few other people on Trip Advisor said the cleaning routine wasn't very good. We did not find that. A cleaner came in almost every day. Towels were changed at least 4 times in our 9 nights, and the bedding was changed halfway through our stay. The bins were emptied each time, and the bathroom cleaned too. The bedroom has plenty of storage, including a safe (chargeable at about 15 euros a week - you set your own code for extra security). Both the bedroom and the lounge, which has a modern double sofa bed, have sliding patio doors onto a large balcony which overlooks the pool or the garden. The shower was lovely with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The hairdryer was powerful too! There is also air conditioning in the lounge and bedroom, at no additional charge. The kitchen has a fridge-freezer, combination microwave, 2-ring hob, kettle, toaster and coffee machine. We chose a bed and breakfast package. There was a huge selection of food at the breakfast buffet. Cereals, fruit, juices, yogurts, cheese, ham, salads, baked goods, cooked items (bacon, eggs, etc) and 2 machines for hot drinks. You can even have some bubbly if you want it! We paid extra to have dinner there on a couple of nights - again this was buffet style and the choice was extensive. There were hot and cold dishes (fish, meat, pasta, rice, potatoes, salads, soup) and desserts. On a few days we had lunch at the poolside snack bar. The portions were huge! After the first time we learned that one dish was enough for the two of us, like a triple decker toasted sandwich with chips! The pool was lovely, it's heated outside of the high season and I found the temperature very pleasant. No shortage of sun beds and umbrellas. The lifeguard was a friendly guy, great at giving toys to the kids in the water. In fact, all the staff were fantastic - nothing was ever too much trouble and they always made sure you were greeted with a smile. Any extras you want to purchase are added to your room bill which you pay on departure. There are 3 lifts in the building which is mostly over 4 floors. On floor 2 (the lowest floor) there is the restaurant and pool. Also there are 2 washing machines and a dryer. One floor up houses the small gym which has a cross trainer, a treadmill, an exercise bike and some weights/bench press equipment. Floor 4 has a vending machine. Reception is on the top floor, a few steps down from the street, but there is also a ramp. The apartments have a quiet position at the end of the resort. This is maybe the only drawback - you have a long downhill walk to the town and the beach, so conversely it's a long uphill walk back. But it does make for peaceful nights and we slept really well. Buses stop at the bottom of the road, about 100m away.
