Apartamentos Tabaiba

Location. Close to the AirPort

-

Good cheap hotel. The location wasn't great, but they ran a free bus at 12 and 4. Return bus is 4.10pm from cucharas beach.

Bathroom drains had quite a bad smell. Which made the rooms have a foul smell. We had to spray air freshener.

Apartments have a 24hour reception staff and bar until midnight which is handy. Earlier check in was available as room was ready. Staff was lovely and had very good manners. Two swimming pools available and average size with sun chairs available for guests. Room/ studio was spacious with balcony , with kitchen utensils. TV with local channels . 10-15mins walk to beach side and central area ;5-10 mins from near supermarket- great location

Kitchen utensils minimal , enough for simple foods and no oven - was enough for us. Very thin walls - could hear all the neighbour rooms conversations Room could do with renovation and top up Internet was very bad , could barely get any signal in the rooms

The keys were handed over and a kind of floor plan was waved around - however it was not made clear to me that there were two (2) establishments, motels in effect with a public road between them. I spent an age staggering around with my heavy bags before going back to the reception who then walked me over to where the second apartment block was. The room was - very roomy, huge in fact. I truly wish I could be more positive about Tabieba - perhaps it might suit a family with very small children. The pool looked safe for very small children.

There was one (1)electrical socket (for the TV) in the living/dining room. So ne couldn't charge a phone or laptop if someone wanted to see the TV - except to use the bedroom sockets (two). There was no (zero) socket at the kitchen unit area - nor did the overhead extractor fan work. I eventually found two working sockets behind the microwave on the 'breakfast bar. But little value except that I could eventually make coffee - by setting the coffee operate on top of the microwave. The bedroom was quite roomy with adequate lights and sockets, however neither of the two safes in the room worked - one couldn't lock and the other couldn't open. There was ZERO broadband in the second complex, the receptionist expressed surprised and assured me it would be delth with, but speaking with a long-term Canadian guest - he told me that this was the situation for the entire 4 weeks he'd been there. A bus leaves twice a day for the beach some 15 mins away and one (only one) returns around 16.30.
