Just back from 2 weeks at the Lago taurito hotel as a family of 2 adults & 2 kids. Week 1 was bliss, week 2 was school half term week so the hotel was packed on week 2. During week 1 we had no trouble getting sunbeds by the pool any time from 10am onwards. Week 2 all sunbeds reserved by 8.30am after a mad rush to get the beds you wanted, if you were not ready to rush for a bed at 8.30am all the best beds by the pool would be taken, you would still get a sunbed as there is lots of them but you’ll be a good distance away from the pool. Breakfast was a nice variety of healthy options & more stodgy English food with proper English sausages. Lunch & dinner had the usual choices you find at an all inclusive wherever you are, such as burgers, steaks, chips, chicken nuggets, chicken, pizzas alongside veg & salads, some nights where themed so Chinese food or Italian food / Spanish food complimented the usual options. Deserts consisted of cakes / ice crème pots, jelly and sweet pots and soft drinks / Amstel beer & wines were included. Snack bar by the pool had the same food daily which was cheese & ham toasty, Hot dogs, burgers and all your soft drinks such as 7up & Pepsi alongside the same alcoholic drinks available at lunch & dinner. Entertainment was good for the kids which consisted of a mini disco, shoutout to Alba & Amanda & Domi who were great with the kids and put on a fun show, mini disco was short starting at 8.15 and finishing at 9pm, Entertainment between 9pm - 10pm was aimed at adults but disappointingly all entertainment stopped at 10pm which left you with not much else to do other than go to bed unless you wanted to site around drinking with no entertainment or you had kids and had money to spend on the trampolines / soft play which where €5 each for 15mins play. Beach was a short walk away from hotel and was nice although sand which was like ash got extremely hot to walk on in the middle of the day. Rooms were nice and balcony was large. Housekeeping team come to room to clean and change towels every 2 days which was a nice touch and they done a great job. If you are staying in taurito be prepared to feel a bit isolated as there is not a great deal to do outside of the hotel, we travelled out to holidayworld for the day which was a nice experience and around a 30 min taxi ride away from taurito and similar to a uk theme park although a lot smaller than the likes of Alton towers or Thorpe park it resembles more of a fairground with 1x mini coaster, it cost us €35 in a taxi there and €35 back but you can get a bus for a few euros if you prefer to do that. The water park is amazing and has slides for all ages including babies, however the water is salt water so if you don’t like salt water then it might not be for you. The all inclusive for Lago did include water park access but did not include food or drinks so for that you’d have to leave the water park and head back to the hotel. Lago hotel is a 3 star and you can see why, it’s
