Tajaraste

We visited Tajaraste at the end of April 2026. The bungalows have been recently renovated. They are very clean, neatly finished and modern. Each bungalow is equipped with a small kitchen with hob (2 burners), coffee maker, toaster, citrus press. There is cutlery and crockery for 3 people. The bathroom is clean and tidy. There is a rain shower which is supplied with hot water by a small boiler in the kitchen. There is just enough hot water to shower with 2 people in close succession (after 20-30 min the water in the boiler is warmed up again). The bedroom has two single beds with excellent mattresses. There is an iron and a hairdryer (but no ironing board). The reception is not always staffed, but you can call someone 24/7. Our boiler broke and was replaced within half an hour (they apparently had those things in stock). Some cottages have a private pool or jacuzzi. All bungalows are set around an elongated swimming pool. The water was on the fresh side in April, but it was just doable. On the artificial grass are about 6 2-person sunbeds with mattress. Lovely to sunbathe on and read a book. Each cottage is equipped with 2 sunbeds in the front garden (more privacy, but that is not the side of the pool). When we were there, there was hardly anyone in the garden or in the pool. In the living room is a smart TV where you can put Netflix and Spotify. With us, the bluetooth of the Google remote control regularly did not work. I managed to reset it every time by disconnecting the Google TV streamer and turning it back on. It is extremely quiet and peaceful. The only sound there was a few times a day was of a sky-dive plane releasing paratroopers. There is a small supermarket 150 meters. There is plenty for sale there. A little further walk is a larger supermarket. Tajaraste is located near the famous dunes (I didn't like it, we have more impressive dunes in the Netherlands). After 1.5 - 2 km of walking along the dunes you come to a boulevard with some restaurants and shops. To be honest, I've seen nicer boulevards, but for a week it's fine. Some restaurants are downright bad, but Cafe Mozart II is highly recommended. We thought Gran Canaria was a terrible island (nothing to do, pushy waiters, ugly high-rises). But if you - like us - want to enjoy your rest all day and read a book by the pool, Tajaraste is a lovely place.

First time at this accommodation and it was great . Quiet and comfortable, good beds, kitchen, bathroom and patio with own sun beds A little far from most things , but if you like to walk , that 's good . The staff was nice and the cleaning was 2-3 times a week.

Very nice and quiet,clean and friendly people.Recommended
