Great place to stay. The rooms were large and although we didn't pay for a sea view we did have a good view of the sea from our balcony.
The food was really nice and varied each day. Slight negative was that we weren't informed of the option to use the restaurant downstairs on our arrival. When all inclusive you can swap the buffet for a meal in the restaurant downstairs. Unfortunately it's only open on a Friday and you have to book at least the day before so we missed out on it.
The gardens and pool were sheltered from the breeze which made it a great sun trap. The pool was decent size and there was no need to get down early to get a sunbed as there were always some available.
Cocktails were really nice and most were available in the all inclusive even with branded alcohol. Bear on tap was Amstel.
The walk down to the town was fine but lots of steps. They do however have a free shuttle bus down if needed which we didn't use.
The old town area of the port was lovely with great restaurants and walks along the front.
We hired a car which did mean that we had to pay for parking at the hotel. You have to book and it was €35 for the week but you do get your own spot.
Great place and will go back.

Lovely staff. Hotel very quiet around. Nice and clean rooms. Great food. Location is close to city centre (if you like it). Charge for car park located by the hotel 8€ per night or you can use a free car park 5mins walk away from hotel :) Highly recomended. It's really nice.

I came with my dad, who is in his 70s. We have both said that we would be happy to return again.
Staff is pleasant and happy to help. We had a couple of issues with our air-conditioning, and when we asked for help, we were dealt with in a prompt and friendly manner.
The food and drink choices were good, but I did wonder how vegetarians got on as there didn't seem much variety for them.
At the pool bar, portions were not consistent. I heard one man order chicken nuggets, and he said he had 15 pieces (two people sharing). When I ordered, we both got 6 each. The next time we received 3 each.
Entertainment was good each evening. There is a little mjni market nearby to buy bits and bobs. The walk took us around d 20 minutes to reach the town. A taxi was €5.
The pool was never full, and the hotel itself wasn't too lively, which is why I chose it. The all-inclusive package offered a good selection.
A shout out should go to the hotel animator, Erica, who was always smiling and chatty around the pool. She offered the right amount of entertainment, in my opinion.

We spent 5 nights there and would highly recommend this hotel if you are in pursuit of quiet. It's farther away from the crowds and restaurants/bars, in the middle of a park/garden, surrounded by nature and parrots.
Our room faced the ocean and it was silent, clean and accommodating. Room also had a fridge. We even had tooth brushes and razors, courtesy of the hotel. The room was big enough and the beds comfortable. The cleaning came every day, although we didn't really need it daily.
The hotel has a private parking for a cost of 8 eur/day but we parked in a nearby free public parking and it was very safe.
ALL the personnel was super nice and helpful, always smiling and ready to accommodate.
The pool was decent and the drinks at the bar very tasty.
A special shoutout to the kitchen staff, though! We had half board and this was some of the tastiest food we've had on the island. It felt like homemade by some really talented aunt, it was fresh made every day and VERY diverse. Each night they tried to cook something different, from chicken and beef to all sorts of fish and seafood. The breakfast was pretty amazing as well.
The prices in drinks were also decent.
We were looking for 5 days of sleeping in, quiet and peace and we found it here.
Highly recommended and thank you for making half of our honeymoon amazing.

We have had a fabulous holiday here at Taoro Garden, and I would recommend to everyone!
The location is brilliant; very quiet and secluded, but very easy to get into town for meals. Probably about a 10 minute walk (all downhill, lots of steps). Taxis are really easy to get and every time only cost €5.
Restaurant highlights in the area have to be: Muxacho, Zicatela, Il Ponte, and Ristta Thai. All really easy to get to, excellent food, and lovely staff.
The facilities at the hotel are great. The pool area and gardens are immaculately clean and it was never too busy or overcrowded. The pool side bar make fabulous cocktails, and lots of bar food available like burgers, chips and pizza. They even had pool floats and balls to use. It was super relaxing especially as there were no children. There was some entertainment during the days (except Sundays) like bingo, table tennis, darts and aqua gym. If you didn’t want to take part, it was equally as fun to relax and observe!
The staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. Their English (and other languages I’m sure) was impeccable and were so helpful when we needed to make a phone call to our airport transfer company.
The breakfast included was great. Fresh hot food, fruit and continental selection, and pastries. I looked forward to it every single morning!
The rooms have received criticism on other reviews, and I do agree to a certain extent. They are quite dated and not very modern. However, they are cleaned to a very high standard every day, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Every room has a balcony with either a sea/garden/pool view, and any one of these would be beautiful. The air con is centrally controlled and you cannot really adjust in the rooms themselves. It was maybe a bit warmer in the rooms than we would have preferred, but we only ever spent time in the room to sleep, by which point we were so tired, it wasn’t an issue.
Also, I should add, I think this hotel would be great if you have concerns with accessibility. There are lifts and ramps to access all parts of the hotel.
For a week in the sun, relaxing, drinking nice cocktails and swimming in the pool, Taoro Garden is perfect! Thanks for a fabulous holiday stay.
