Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & Spa

2nd time in this Hotel.1st time was the Sensatori .Still as beautiful as ever.Very clean ,food excellent, staff Friendly/helpful. Beach fantastic. Only difference beach bar now not all inclusive but overall experience excellent.

Lovely hotel, the staff are all really nice. Children’s pool was really nice though was a 10 minute walk out of the complex up a big hill, fine for us but would be a struggle if you have mobility issues. Food selection was generally pretty good although food sometimes cold in the buffet. The beach and pools are all really nice. Some points that make this 3 stars and not 4 or 5 would be that there’s no water supplied in the rooms, you got 1 bottle when you first arrive, after that you get nothing, I asked and was told I’ve have to pay if I wanted more water. I can’t get my head around paying for 5 star all inclusive and being made to pay for any water that you want in your room. I expect that as standard. On a few occasions our bed wasn’t clean when the cleaners had been, dirty covers and was full of sand. Again not good enough. No pool side service. You have to go to the bar for a drink, not a problem for some I’m sure and I wasn’t that fussed either but it’s the only tui hotel I’ve been too that didn’t offer a pool side service, also my partner only drinks strawberry daiquiri, this was an extra 13.50euro a drink so not all inclusive. Admittedly she’s picky and literally only drinks that so if your also picky I’d check what’s actually included with the all inclusive. A few moans but we did still enjoy the stay overall. Probably wouldn’t go again as have been to better tui blue hotels

Best of both worlds adults only areas & family areas make this an ideal holiday resort,both areas well served by bars & pools ,short walk to a picturesque beach ideal for swimming all inclusive offering is excellent both food & drinks with something for even the fussiest of diners,rooms spacious & good air con,would not hesitate to recommend, special mention for Antonia in the breakfast room very attentive always with a smile

Fantastic hotel set in beautiful surroundings ,lovely beach great for swimming,hotel pool was great though a touch cold, plenty of sunbeds ,all inclusive food & drinks are excellent with plenty of choice on both counts,evening meal with the backdrop of the sunsets were something special.Staff & resort are excellent ,special mention for Antonia in the breakfast room tip top service with smile, would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for a chilled out holiday it's great thank you for a lovely break .

10/10 for everything no bad points food excellent vast choice at every meal rooms clean and tidy - Italian was excellent- sunset bar lovely too - the best sunsets every single night from the dining room and on our balcony - 3rd time we’ve been here.

This is a 3 star hotel at best, absolutely NOT worthy of a 5 star. Checking in upon arrival was a shambles. We arrived at 11am and told our room wouldn’t be ready until 3pm. No water or food provided upon arrival until the buffet opened for lunch. Majority of bar staff / waiters look miserable, tired / overworked and not v. friendly. When eating at the buffet, the waiters clear your plates but left dirty knives and forks on the table to reuse if you go back for a second plate of food. The free Italian restaurant as part of the all inclusive wasn’t nice (rubbery pasta). We then chose to book at the Sunset restaurant which is a Tapas restaurant charged at €42 euro pp. We booked this for a change of scenery because there’s little else to do around the hotel and no evening entertainment for adults. The food was TERRIBLE and we returned half the plates. We left half way through the meal and immediately informed guest services of our experience. The public relations manager was very defensive and we were told “well no one else has complained”, she interrogated us on what we had/hadn’t eaten and didn’t provide us with an apology. We felt upset and frustrated that our feedback wasn’t taken onboard. There is no fresh water provided in the hotel rooms. You’re provided with one bottle which you have to refill at the bar (you’re one of the lucky ones if you get a plastic bottle with a screw cap… our neighbours had a glass bottle with a bottle cap lid) - the still water tastes like chemicals, so steer clear!!! Alcoholic cocktails have hardly any alcohol in, the beer is watered down. The sunset bar was full of small children if there was no kids disco on. Pool water was FREEZING. The TUI animation team were non-existent and very patronising when we did speak to them. We won’t be revisiting and couldn’t wait to go home.

The Tarida was a lovely place to stay. We had 2 x 17 year old sons with us and being able to use the Adult Pool and Adult dining section was lovely. They also loved the pool table and table tennis. These were very popular with all ages so could have done with a few more of these. We played tennis which was good but it took quite a few days to get a court booked and this was at the end of the season. The food was what you would expect from an all inclusive but there seemed to be a reliance on pasta which was not that great. Towards the end of our stay, the Adult section for meals was made smaller and smaller which was not expected. The choice of cocktails and snacks available during the day was very good. The Italian restaurant that can be used once per stay was very nice. The food and service was great!! The rooms themselves were lovely, clean and had the best shower! The water was hot and the pressure was amazing!! The resort was also very clean and a really nice environment. We visited Ibiza town which was lovely to get out of the complex and see some more of the island. As it was the end of the season we were warned that the buses would not be running a regular service and a lot of places would be closed. Unfortunately, the noise travelled a lot when we were in the room. We could hear the occupants of the room upstairs come into their room and use the bathroom - not great. There was also a lot of noise outside from other tourists. They seemed to forget that there many other people staying at the same place so didn't need to keep shouting to each other. The Wifi was shocking! At best it worked at a low signal level for a little time. At worst, it was just not available for whole days at a time. With teenage sons, this was not great. I had booked the hotel as it stated that there was WiFi available throughout the hotel. This is something that needs to be looked at or not included as something that is available for use.

Tui Blue Tarida Beach formally known as TUI Senatori. I would highly recommend this hotel. This is a very large family friendly hotel which is set on a hill so there is lots of walking up and down. We did however have a pushchair and we did not find using it a problem. Pros: • Short flight and transfer • Family and couple friendly (separate adult only pool) • Buffet restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a great choice of food and views of the beach • Choice of pools (bars at all pools with a range of spirits, cocktails, slush, ice creams and lollies) • The Retreat (a short walk from the hotel) with a splash park, buffet, bar and ice cream freezer to choose your own. Daily activities programme. • Friendly, hard working staff who do anything to make your stay great • Clean, spacious rooms with fresh towels when requested and a large bottles of water • Fantastic kids club for ages 3-12. 10-12pm, 2-4pm. Parties at 4:30-6:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (booked via the Tui Blue app) and mini disco (apart from a Saturday) • On the beach with excellent sunset views Things to know: • Lots of walking on an incline • The beach is a public beach so you need to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas • The Sunset restaurant and the beach bar are not included in all inclusive • The Retreat splash park is separate to the hotel so depending on where your room is in the resort, it could be a 5-10 minute walk away. It opens at 10:30am so be prepared to queue in the sun from about 10:15am if you want a sunbed. We always managed to get sunbeds and an umbrella and didn't find the wait a problem. Please don't be put off by some of the reviews- it was a really good hotel.

this hotel is at this time not a sensatori in the way i think of sensatori hotels, everything is not quite ready, its as though the small simple things have not been thought out, the staff are definitely 5 star plus, the food lukewarm quite often and at times many of the selections were empty and we had to wait for refills, most of the good entertainment and speciality restaurants were in the sister hotel. my sister had the misfortune to walk into an unmarked window and damaged her face quite badly, when the manager came he agreed that something needed to be done urgent. and by the next morning they had placed big plantpots by the windows concerned. as i said at this time i dont think it a sensatori.
