Description of Playa Taurito
Playa Taurito, located on the southwest coast , is an elegant, purpose-built resort with an air of refinement which will suit those looking for a tranquil break.
The hotels and accommodation are built on the steep sides of the narrow valley. If the valley bottom is the fabulous lido and park
Largo Taurito Lido& Mssive Swimming Pool
Its expansive lido area is particularly attractive and a mini aqua park - for a small entrance fee, you can enjoy sand-free sunbathing, a vast pool, and a palm-dotted ‘island’ complete with bridges and bars. The pool is sea water and because of evaporation & topping up from the sea the salt content is high.
