Hotel THe Lago Taurito

Nestled between Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán, Hotel THe Lago Taurito boasts a prime location surrounded by the laid-back charms of Playa Taurito. Backed by Gran Canaria’s volcanic cliffside and just metres from the Atlantic, the hotel’s secluded setting offers the perfect mix of serenity and family fun.



Soak up the island’s year-round heat from the sprawling main pool. Overlooking the beach, this roomy number is surrounded by loungers and parasols. Holidaying with kids? They’ll have their very own shallow section to splash around in alongside an activity pool kitted out with a pirate ship and mini slides. While teens and big kids alike will love racing down the Kamikaze or taking a spin in the Space Bowl at the onsite waterpark, which is completely free to hotel guests!



And if that wasn’t enough fun for one day, just wait until you see the entertainment programme. There are two kids’ clubs, one for children aged between four to 12 and another for teens aged 12 to 18. If you prefer to stay active on your travels, you won’t be short of ways to burn off some energy with tennis courts, volleyball nets, a ten-pin bowling alley and mini golf course all on hand. Those looking for something a little different will be excited to discover the archery range - a hotel highlight.



After a day of action, the all-inclusive buffet will be waiting with its tasty show-cooking. Tuck into stir-fried favourites with a visit to the wok station, fill up on carbs at the pasta corner or make the most of the kids’ section. You can grab breakfast, lunch and dinner here, or you can enjoy a great range of snacks including toasties and burgers from the poolside bar. Open from 10am to 6pm, there’s plenty of drinks on offer too, whether you’re after a refreshing fizzy drink, a coffee or cocktail. But don’t worry, when the snack spot closes the night bar opens with beverages being served until 11pm. Then, it’s time to sit down for the evening show at Arena Plaza, which could be anything from tribute acts to West End-inspired performances.



As for rooms, you’ve got cosy doubles perfect for couples and family spaces sleeping up to five guests with a separate living area. All stays come with air-conditioning, telephone, fridge, safe, satellite TV and terrace. For the ultimate upgrade, choose a sea-facing room.
