Apartamentos Taboga

The plant has a lot of potential: Sea view, no children under 16 and no smoking in all areas - at least according to self-expression. But on site we found that smoking is not only allowed on the balconies and terraces, but also by the pool. When asked, it was explained that it was not seen so narrowly - and the complete ban on smoking on the website was not known at all ... Extremely annoying that this is not communicated on the website (the search engines don't know about it either). It is also very unfortunate that the kitchenette by the pool has not existed for several years - but nevertheless it is described in the information folder in the apartment. The fact that this folder has not been updated for years can be seen from old photos and also from the fact that the obligation to supervise children at the pool is still mentioned (or are they allowed again in the meantime?) and a telephone (did not exist) and an alarm on the balcony door (was no longer necessary after the renovation?) are pointed out. Further information on how to prepare for these requests, which can be interesting for smoking people: The roof terrace has a really fantastic view, but it is not surprising that it quickly gets quite windy on it. A hat/buff or something would make a lot of sense. The large parking lot in front of the complex of course ensures that a rental car (if you have one) is never far away. But you shouldn't underestimate how many people there are talking loudly (standing) or listening to music (in the car), even the coach and especially the delivery traffic (for Santa Monica and others) is sometimes quite noisy, the dogs on the green space behind less. Headphones with appropriate music provide a remedy. The pool is supposed to be and is probably heated, but it is colder than (we) thought due to shade and wind (depending on the season and weather of course). So warm up well in the sun. It is definitely clean, the staff are very nice, the palm trees green and the small library rich in German (and few other language) books. The beds were super comfortable. They were renewed in the summer of 2025. There are again two beds that can be put together easily if necessary.

A renovated complex with 24 apartments of which 23 are currently in use. The pool is located at the front, the terraces/balconies are not facing the pool. The apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floor have balconies with unobstructed views. The ground apartments are sunken and only have a view of the beautiful garden. The beds are fine and there is ample storage space. The not too large toilet room has a separate shower corner with rain shower head. The small kitchen has a two-burner electric hob. Coffee machine, kettle and oven are provided. The kitchen is fairly complete. Multilingual and friendly hostesses (especially Maria) are present for large parts of the day. Five litres of water gallons are available at the reception and two sandwiches hang at the door every morning (white or brown if desired). We have been there for several years and were always very satisfied. However, this year we were somewhat disappointed, due to small but annoying imperfections. But that is a personal experience because there was a comparison with previous years. Not cheap but conveniently located to the boulevard and beach (a few minutes walk), shops / restaurants etc. within walking distance in the C.C.Cita. Experience it for yourself, however, it is a quiet, fun and cozy 3-storey apartment complex.

This spot has realy everything we needed, beautiful garden, very clean appartment with large balcony, the perfect host Maria , the walking distance to resto, shops, beach etc etc. The visits we did all with local transport bus
