TAIGA Tarifa

A large campground with excellent facilities. Unfortunately, there’s no supervision by the staff, and the truly beautiful glamping area is dirty—with trash on the ground, no trash cans, and no lighting, which makes it very scenic but also dangerous at night when you have to go outside to use the restrooms, the provided outdoor seating areas are completely covered in bird droppings—which is normal given that it’s in a forest—but if the outside of the tents were cleaned as well as the inside, it would be more appropriate given the high price range. Furthermore, quiet hours are not respected at all, with constant noise until 3 a.m., despite the fact that from midnight to 7 a.m. there is a ban on both vehicle traffic and noise. We’re exhausted because it’s impossible to sleep. There’s no security guard around—I imagine there’s only one at the entrance. The cleaning ladies take breaks to smoke and stub out their cigarette butts directly on the ground, where they remain. A very disappointing experience; I wouldn’t recommend it.

They need to improve the cleanliness of the taiga cabins. The lamps had cobwebs, and the bathroom did too—there was a huge spider with a big chunk of cobweb, and it wasn’t like we were in the middle of a pine forest. The windows were dirty on the inside too, but otherwise everything was fine. The location was great—you couldn’t hear any cars, and it was very natural. The pool should be better maintained, since people were going in with their flip-flops from outside. The restaurant was fine; the only thing is that the pizzas—considering they’re frozen—shouldn’t cost that much. The common areas should be better maintained and cleaner, since the place is otherwise very nice. And for walking to the beach with kids, it’s not very well located, even though they tell you it’s close.

Excellent. The facilities and the staff's service. I'll definitely be back another time.
