Family-friendly hotel with plenty of outdoor activities
Palm trees
surround the main pool area at the Golden Taurus Park Resort, giving the space
a pretty, tropical feel. The area has a big pool and two separate, smaller
children’s pools. A second pool area includes a pool with a wooden bridge
crossing it and a thatched-roof bar in the middle. There’s a tennis court and a shed housing sports equipment, including tennis rackets,
roller skates, and bicycles for rent. The big outdoor playground is sandy, with several plastic slides and a small, miniature golf course nearby. Inside, the lobby is ornate. Cool details include carved wooden furniture, an overhead circular cut-out painted to look like the sky, and a traditional English phone booth.
