| said: We wanted a late season good value break in a quiet resort in the sun and this booking with Thompsons satisfied all of this. On arrival the receptionist was charming and helpfull. All staff spoke sufficient English to respond to our needs. Although there were several young people and families with well behaved children, the majority of couples at this time were in their 50s or over but again this suited us. The room was spotless but the two single beds pushed together where slightly uncomfortable but acceptable. The staff were charming and attentive as was the Thompson representative. The buffet style restaurant was excellent with a wide imaginative variety of hot and cold delicious foods with chefs cooking at one of the counters. Each night foods where served to different nationality themes and foods on display were replenished with speed and efficiency. Wines and beers at reasonable prices. A team of charming young girls maintained a programme of activities throughout the day for all ages and had a delightful awards ceremony each night after a childrens disco. The nightly cabarets were of a high professional standard and totally entertaining. However, even though the young singer and pianist entertaining in the piano bar repeated the same repertoire each evening, they too had a charm of their own. The pool area was clean and tidied up promptly each afternoon. The masseur had his table outside under a gazebo but would gladly use his indoor salon or come to your room. The hotel is literally on the beach accessed down a short path within a few metres. The hotel is modestly but tastefully decorated and appointed with an imposing lobby. As with most hotels in the vicinity, the architecture features how it is built on the side of a rock face with internal hanging garden. Wheelchair access to all areas. The hotel was neither crowded nor noisy and we enjoyed the quiet and discreet atmosphere with plenty of comfortable space to relax during our off season November booking. Half board was a wise choice. Thompson's claim that guests at this hotel are usually among the first to be dropped off the transfer coach does not take into consideration circumstances beyond their control. For example due to the duration of the baggage reclaim exercise, you sit on the coach outside the airport for over half an hour waiting for the coach to fill up, followed by the exercise of dropping off others en route also taking time especially if some of them find difficulty locating their luggage in the hold. Eventually we arrived at the hotel well over an hour later. For those who have never ridden a cammel the 'Cammel Capers' excursion is fun as is the 8 hour duration 'Island Delights' trip especially if numbers determine that the group travels in a convoy of comfortable minibuses with the guide giving his running commentary from one vehicle relayed to the two-way radio loudspeakers in the others.

| said: On arrival the hotel looks very inpressive. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were very spacious with amazing views out to sea, but could probably do with a bit of sprucing up as the decor was beginning to look a little shabby. The evening entertainment was poor and there really isn`t much else to do outside of hotel in evening unless you are happy to travel somewhere. However we had a brilliant holiday and would stay here again!

| said: The food at this hotel leaves a lot to be desired, in fact it was awful. The bacon burnt every morning, the hot food was warm only and the fish in the evening cooked on the bacon griddle, Rice was left standing for over half an hour or more and the cockroaches in the dining room were as big as mice. The staff were friendly but the hotel was definatly not up to 4 or thomsons 5 star value. The air con leaked every 3 days or so and when the maintanance man emptied the overflow by sucking on a pipe well!!. The piano bar singer was somewhat predictable in his songs for the two weeks we were there we could set our watches by the songs he sung. On our first night I ordered a love in the air cocktail and was given a pia colada after taking a big sip the waitress removed the drink from me gave me my love in the air and proceeded to give the pina colada to someone else. We sat near the bar from then on to check that we got the drinks we ordered not someone elses! The pool area was rarely cleaned and coffee cups were left laying around for days. The suites were quite big but the loo seat was broken the day we arrived and was still broken the day we left. The beds were uncomfortable just two singles pushed together, and shouldn't someone have warned us about the building work, jackhammers and concrete mixers at 7 in the morning.

| said: Hotel Cleanliness - Very good to excellent overall, no major issues, though a small spill on our room floor remained unmopped for 3 days. Would have scored 5/5 otherwise.
Food - Excellent self service buffet. Large range of tasty choices and nearly always quickly replenished. A short queue to enter at the busiest times.
Location - This hotel is yards from the beach and all rooms have fantastic sea views, the spectacular sunsets are superb. Ideal for couples who dont want the hustle and bustle of a busier resort. The location was well suited to us with or rented car available for trips out and about at our whim.
Hotel Staff - All seemed very friendly and helpful, a few minor glitches in the restuarant, on one occasion our table was cleared, including our unfinished drinks, while we were choosing our dessert just yards away.
Entertainment - The daytime Animation staff tried hard to whip up interest in various daytime sports and activities. The evening shows were fairly disappointing, especially considering the nature of the resort.
We were very satisfied with our stay and I would score the hotel 4/5 overall, a typical good 4 star hotel. The only real dissapointment was the evening entertainment. We booked two Thomson excursions, Garbos was a fantastic night out and cannot be recommended highly enough, a highlight of the holiday and well worth the money. The VIP Island Tour was also very good and is also highly recommended.

| said: This hotel lives up to its billing as a Thomsons Platinum hotel.
Just from the staff from reception to the best head waiter we have ever seen(this man will be strict with you if you break the dress code There is a very small table in corner you will have to sit at if you arrive a dinner in shorts or 3/4 length trousers ).
The rooms are a good size if you have 2 adults and 2 small children, its not so good if you have older children.
Pool area is kept very clean and there are plenty of sunbeds for all.
Xmas gala dinner is set menu but of excellent quailty ( if you dont like menu ask and an alternitive will be made for you). Psst wine flows very freely starting with white then red then cava all of good quailty. New Year dinner is just like xmas dinner just different menu (lobster thermidor). Wife and son did not like this and asked for alternative and got it without any fuss. Wife had a salad with white asparagus and son had double burger and chips lmao after I had eaten his lobster.
What daytime activities we did use were well run and the animation team were excellent.

| said: It was a Thomson Platinum holiday and we should have been dropped off 1st or 2nd stop but the driver dropped us off last.
The hotel itself was very nice and the rooms were very large with a large balcony overlooking the pool and sea. The beds were hard but otherwise no complaints with the accomodation.
The food was ok but could have done with a little variation - not much on the vegetarian menu. Plenty of salads though! It was quiet in the hotel as all of the corridors are carpeted.
Pool areas were clean and one pool was acclimatised. The beach is black sand and shingle - not that good really. Entertainment was ok.
Staff were all friendly and helpful. Free bus to Puerto Mogan daily. I would stay in Mogan if I visited again - beautiful beach and a little more to do. Beautiful harbour and things to see.
On the whole it was a good holiday at the Suite Princess and I would go again but not at the price that I paid. Do not think it was up to Platinum standard more like a 3*. I still enjoyed my holiday very much so if you have booked don't worry you wll enjoy it - just giving you an honest opinion.

| said: We have just returned from a week at the Suite Princess in Playa Taurito. Being a timeshare fan I was a bit dubious as to what I was going to get but I was not disappointed.
The rooms were large, airy and had fantastic views over the beach, hotel pool, lido and the sea and the sunsets were fabulous every night.
The food was good and presented well although a bit repetitive. There was a themed evening every night, Italian, Spanish nights etc and there was generally something for everyone.
Hotel staff were really friendly, the entertainment was OK and the location was fantastic for a relaxing holiday.

| said: Our second visit to Suite Princess, not quite as good as the first. Unfortunatley there is building work in the valley so with all the digging there was not much relaxation time.
Also some maintenance going on in the hotel, some guests were asked to move rooms for second week of stay.
Staff excellent, food was good something for everyone.
Location not so good but the free bus is great for getting around to Peurto Rico or Peurto Mogan.
Not quite Platinum Standard as 1st visit was, more like Gold now.
I'm sure wants the digging has stopped and hotel maintenance is finished it will be back to its original standard.

| said: We have just had a 10 day break at the Suite Princess. It is one of the best Princess Hotels we have stayed in.
The rooms were large, clean and very comfortable and the views were wonderful.
The food was fine, a reasonable choice and well presented.
The pool area was good and there were plenty of sun beds available.
The hotel staff were friendly. We spoke to the rep a couple of times and found him to be helpful and pleasant.
The entertainment wasn't to our liking but the piano bar is a good choice.
The resort is very quiet and self contained. The nearby resort of Mogan is well worth a visit.
We used the hotel bus (don’t look down if you are not keen on heights).
We would certainly go back again.

| said: A great hotel for comfort and quiet relaxation food was well cooked and presented but rather repetative.
Spoiled by its location no outside nightlife although taxis and buses cheap.
Beach was a shambles after a bad storm still uninviting after ten days of clean up.
Rep only talked about the trips she wanted to push then never spoke again.
Special platinum lounge a joke.

The food was excellent great choice even the children were happy.
The entertainment was excellent the children loved the Kids club and the disco every night.

| said: We booked a last minute deal with Thomson Princess selection, allocation on arrival.
On arriving at the hotel the staff were friendly and booked us in quickly.
The rooms were all suites, bedroom area and sitting area with sofa, chair and TV, also balcony with sea view.
The hotel was very clean, lots of marble and tasteful soft furnishings.
Poolside/Beach towels were provided free of charge (small charge if they needed changing)
Poolside was clean and plenty of room for all, free sunbeds and parasols.
The beach was black sand and although we didn't use it, it appeared very clean and well maintained.
Food was excellent although waiter service a la carte was available the majority of people appeared to use the extensive buffet - different selection available each night.
The location was isolated with regards to walking into a resort, (Turito is made up of 3 hotels in a bay with a beach and a lido area with a bus stop at the furthest end) however there was a courtesy bus daily to 2 resorts or as stated above a bus stop for local transport. Nearest resort 5 euro by taxi although buses apparently much cheaper.
We did not need to venture out much during the week as the hotel was so good with regard to food and entertainment/activities and we were there to relax.
2 bar areas, Piano bar and Cabaret Bar, provided entertainment in evening with in-house singers or external acts including touring bands and acts.(including a famous 60's all male group)
All in all an excellent relaxing holiday - would go again

The room and view were the kind that makes me worried about finding this standard in my future holidays.
A sunset every evening like a floor show.
