“Fantastic holiday”

We have just come home from a fantastic week at SMY Tahona I was very apprehensive about coming as I had read some mixed reviews on trip advisor. This was our first family holiday with our 18 month old daughter and we absolutely loved it we have booked again for next year. The hotel hygiene was immaculate the cleaning was constantly happening to keep the standard. Staff were so attentive and happy to help with anything we needed during our stay. Particularly Luis and Yoanna what lovely people they are and happy to go the extra mile to help you. The food was great we never struggled to find something that we liked lots of choice the only thing I would change is maybe more choice for the children (e.g cheese and tomato pizza or burgers etc) Our room was great a lot bigger than expected the furniture was dated but didn’t affect our experience at all there was no Air con which was hard but we managed with the fan could have done with more than one. Towels provided were great don’t put your towels down to try and save bed because they will be moved to the side of the bar if you’re not around. Entertainment is ok for the adults but there’s nothing for the kids no mini disco early eve or games in the day but it didn’t bother us as baby is still small. Drinks are great and there is a fridge on the bar that also has all inclusive food in during the day and hot dogs etc which unfortunately we didn’t discover until the last day. The pool side food that you can order is really good and not over priced either. The pools are fantastic lovely and safe for the little ones and the round one is heated if you get a slightly cooler day. We went on a visit to the zoo which I would definitely recommend as we had the best day.

“Holiday”

The hotel is not bad in general, the cleanliness is different, especially in the bathroom. The atmosphere is very nice, the location is also great. But there are few sunbeds and the worst food. Fish with scales was the end for me. No air conditioning, the fan barely works. You can drink drinks and… more

Fish with scales was the end for me. No air conditioning, the fan barely works. You can drink drinks and you definitely won't get drunk

“Not the best--you get what you pay for”

This is my true and honest review of these apartments My wife and I stayed her the few days of September and into October for a week. We went all inclusive which to be honest was a mistake, more on that later. The resort itself is lovely, nice and compact, pretty flat, lovely promenade and easy to find everything. Chances are if you have a coach transfer you will be dropped off near to the aprtments, Villa Floida, and then have to walk about 100 metres to apartments Check in was quick and easy and staff spoke good English. The apartments are only ground floor with another apartment above, but I found the open balconies for the apartments did not offer much in way of privacy. Main living area is large, bedroom was a decent size. There was a TV in room with about 6 British channels, BBC and ITV. There was a rather questionable stain in the bathroom floor that loked like it had been there for year. Apartments are a bit dated but are cleaned each day There was a free standing fan in bedroom for air con. Now when we went it was hot and fan sort of did the trick when we used it. However in high summer I reckon it would be unbearable in rooms Pool area is decent and pools are walk in, pools. BUT there is a severe lack of sunbeds. There is around 50 sunbeds around pool with a further 12 in upper terrace. Considering there must be maybe 100 apartments, simply not enough Wi fi is available in reception area and outer parts of pool area closest to reception but not in rooms or at bar. Entertainment at night is truly appalling. It is mainly karaoke and or bingo. The animation guy does his best but he aint no singer. Some of the guests were even worse, if that is possible. There were a couple of "acts" on during my week there and to be fair they were OK When you arrive you are given a drinks token which you excgange for your drink. Each time you want a new drink take your plastic glass back to bar for a refill Bar staff and dinner staff are great as are reception staff. Now the big one. The food. We went all inclusive Breakfast was excellent, cereals, yogurts, cold meats, eggs pastries, bread, fruit and best of all a full English brekkie if you wanted Lunch and dinner were a choice mainly of pork dish, chicken dish, fish diah or pasta dish. Generally it looked pretty un appestising and most of the time it was. It was usually warm at best, I know we Brits like our food hot. Chips were nearly always cold and the kids meal mainly consisted of croquettes with a filling or fish fingers, again usualy cold. There was also souo to start and it was basically the same soup all week, which was pretty tastless. You could also get salad dishes. Fresh fruit, small cakes and ice cream for desert. Now that sounds decent enough, I am not a fussy eater but even I stuggled to like the food. The missus pretty much hated it Plenty of decent restaurants and bars nearby, so would recommend you only go bed and breakfast Drinks were Amstel beer, coke, coke zero, fanta zero, coffee, water. Wine was horrible A good holiday was had but I would pay more next time and go to a place with better food. PS, hope you like planes. The airport is about 8 km away and there must have been around 50+ flights incoming each flying about 300 ft above your head from about 6am until 10 pm

“Well placed hotel. Great staff. Cheap and cheerful. Would return if Smy cleaned up their act ☺️”

The mixups with our rooms on arrival were soon remedied. The house maids are lovely but are clearly very rushed for time.

The mixups with our rooms on arrival were soon remedied. The house maids are lovely but are clearly very rushed for time. Basic cleanliness was fantastic but Our room was in desperate need of a deep clean. Looked like years worth of dust and hairs on the headboard and slats on wardrobe doors. Grubby hand marks on doors, doorframes and handrails not just in our rooms but throughout the complex. I hope this is addressed 🤞 The staff are mostly wonderful, hard working and friendly people who go out of their way to make sure that everyone is happy. The guests we met were so much fun, friendly, chatty and upbeat ( considering 😂) Chefs are more than happy to accommodate your needs, you simply have to ask and your wishes are granted.
