Stayed here for a week in June - for what we paid it's excellent value: the apartments themselves are fairly basic but spotlessly clean and in a great location. The pool area's more like a 5 star resort - really quiet, comfortable sun loungers and the most amazing, warm, saltwater pool! Maid service was spot on, reception staff were friendly and efficient and the pool bar seemed fairly reasonable for drinks and snacks.

If you're looking for opulent surroundings and 5 star luxury then maybe this isn't the place for you, but for somewhere to stay and a nice pool area to chill out during the day then it comes thoroughly recommended.

We stayed there for 2 weeks starting 16th June 2008 The hotel is spotlessly clean All the staff where polite helpful & cheerful at all times so to all of you who have said they are rude & unhelpful you must give off that vibe to receive it Their english is very good too There is no kettle but there is a coffee machine in rooms so we just put water through a couple of times to clean it then just put water through to put in cup with a tea bag Worked fine There is no toaster though The restaurant in hotel was cheap & served very good food The Yumbo centre is 5 mins walk away & the Kasbah 8 mins away and i am disabled with limited walking It can be a little noisy as on the main road through playa de ingles We will definitely be going back there Infact we have already rebooked Also the maids are in to clean every day We could not fault this Hotel or the staff and for the price it is amazing

Stayed for one week at the end of April. 3 of us stayed in a standard room. The room was clean, pretty basic, and had a small kiitchen .
There was always plenty of hot water and the shower worked well.
The rooms do not have a/c, but I believe a a/c unit or fans are available for hire. Also it is possible to rent a comfort room, which apparently has, microwave, toaster, tv etc.
The cleaners, changed the towels every couple of days. The pool area at the hotel is very nice, and well cared for. May not be quite enough sunbeds on busy days there.

Overall I would say that the apt's are a good basic standard, not luxury, but ideal for someone on a budget. There is a small cafe bar on site and the food there was good and reasonably priced.
Would stay there again, as overall it was a pleasant stay.

One final word - the day we left one of the other guests, told us their room had been broken in to and various items stolen. But we had no such problems with security of our belongs.

Canceled a booking with Los Solmones in Playa after reading some of the reviews and this was probably the best thing we did. Tamaran apartments where well placed, a 3-4 min walk from CITA shopping centre and restaurants and around 8-10 min walk from Yumbo centre where all the night life and some other great restaurants are located. Around 10 min walk to beech although a further walk of around 5-10 mins to get to the sea over the dunes. The apartments where cleaned almost daily and bed linen was changed twice in the week we where there as where the towels. Reception staff was as to be expected and the pool was fantastically maintained, clean and tidy with plenty of sun loungers, a toilet and apartment bar/restaurant just a few seconds away. All rooms had a private pool view which was fantastic. Bathrooms had a shower; kitchens had two halogen hobs with all the necessary bits to cook and serve basic meals if needed, also had a large fridge freezer so we could buy ice cream and ice cubes to keep and plenty of room in fridge for water and other drinks. Apartments had lifts. We only cooked breakfasts as its cheap to eat out in Playa anyway. Down side with the apartments where no kettle or toaster(don’t think you get anywhere in Playa as a standard) also some road noise in the bedroom and some occasional noise from other guests but you get that anywhere. Rooms could do with a lick of paint in places. Other than that a fantastic well located and a great standard for the price place to stay and we would return again.
