We have just arrived home from our one week all inclusive stay. 2 adults 3 kids age (9, 11 & 12) split over two rooms. We made a request on the booking to have the rooms next to each other which they accommodated. We arrived around 9:30pm so missed the evening meal. We had to walk up the street to buy food elsewhere. The bar was open till late so drinks were available there. However there is alot of lovely local restaurants and pubs. The rooms were very clean, cleaners did a great job. You are provided with a card to hang on your door if you do not want the cleaners to go in. Otherwise cleaners go into the rooms to provide clean towels every day and make beds and empty the bin. I had read reviews on cockroaches and bugs in the rooms but we never seen any during our whole stay. Food - Breakfast was great, lots of choices. Lunch and snack bar were okay, same things but what you’d expect really for a 3* . Burgers, hotdogs, (2 days they had chicken kebabs) pizza, chips, crisps, fruit & ice creams. Cheese crackers, sandwiches, soup ect. You could get ice lollies for an additional cost. Evening meals weren’t that great and we ate out 3 nights because of this. The italian buffet which is included in the all inclusive was nice but you have to book in advance for a table there. We booked a couple of excursions, one picked us up at 7:10am. The hotel won’t provide a breakfast or sandwich to take away even if you are all inclusive. I know some hotels do but Tamaimo Tropical don’t. Ques - Ques for meals varied, sometimes we got straight in, sometimes waited 5-10 mins. The que for both bars was around 10mins…. Couple of occasions slightly longer. Take your tumbler, they are happy to fill them and means less trips to the bar for the smaller cups. Entertainment was fantastic! Such a great team. They do a great job at making everyone feel included and encourage kids and adults to have fun. “Be crazy, not lazy”! They provide lots of games and activities throughout the day from 10am. The evening entertainment was fab, kids disco, diploma ceremony for the winners for the activities during the day. Bingo and then entertainment later. It stopped around 10:30pm but bar was open later. We didn’t get picked up till 9:30pm for our transfer back to the airport. The hotel said we could leave our suitcases at reception after checkout and we enjoyed the day by the pool still using the all inclusive. You can book a slot to have a shower. Which is a room on the top floor but be prepared as everyone who books a slot uses the same room, once one family hands the key in then the next get it. there are used towels everywhere, but it was somewhere to get clean and changed. There are a few negatives but i think there are way more positives about the hotel, it certainly doesn’t put us off and we would return and recommend to others, especially families.
