There seems to be a sickness issue at this hotel. I have stayed here twice and members of our party have been simultaneously struck down by sickness. Likely this is caused by the communal air conditioning system otherwise the bug would be spread person to person. Not only this but the food at breakfast is now so substandard, plus the staff at reception are plain rude. An illustration of how bad the service is the hotel charges parents 15 euros to hire a kettle to make up baby formula. I dont know what is going on here but prices have gone up and quality is in the toilet. When we stayed in May we were in a literal building site. You can't excrement on customers from a great height and expect them to return.

Absolutely appalling, holidaying on a building site. No way will this be finished before mid July, if then. Woken every day at 8.00am by drilling and cutting The whole building smells of oil based paint. Rubble everywhere, bar toilets not open. Told all works will be finished by June 6th. A joke !! Jet 2 shouldn't be selling these holidays !!

I haven't even stayed there yet, but called to ask about my reservation (in spanish) and was transferred to "reservations" before getting to finish a sentence. I then called back and was yelled at and then got hung up on. I then called back again and got hung up on... again. Tried calling back and gave up. I spent over $1,000 USD on this room and can't even call to ask a question? On top of that, when you make the reservation, I was only given one payment option, which was the nonrefundable one, so I'm now I'm stuck at staying at a place that I'm already not excited about. 🙄

Hotel Sol Torremolinos is a popular beachfront hotel located in Torremolinos, a coastal town in the province of Málaga, Spain. Known for its prime location near the beach and vibrant city life, it offers various amenities such as swimming pools, restaurants, and entertainment options for guests. It’s a good choice for those looking to enjoy both relaxation and accessibility to the lively areas of Torremolinos.The inside pool has an equipment lift/hoist for disabled.I stayed in the hotel for one month. I like place and nearest beach.

Stay in August 2024. We had a "family room" for 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids). We didn't know at the time that family rooms do not have balconies and only have a single small window. The mini refrigerators are not stocked with water or other beverages/snacks. The cleaning staff was very nice and always available to help. The buffet was nice with a lot of selection. As a result I always ate more than I should. The buffet seemed a little understaffed in terms of cleaning tables and setting them up for the next guests. The pool area is clean, however, the tiles around the pool are a little slippery, we saw 2 people go down (1 man needing some medical assistance after). It would be a little better if the pool was larger because it is usually full of people. Free parking around the hotel is difficult to find but if your willing to drive around a bit you'll find something within 600m.

Really good value family hotel. Room was clean and well presented, good bathroom. Fantastic breakfast, dinner was fine with plenty to eat but nothing special. Restaurant staff friendly and very hard working (as were all the staff actually). Free shuttle bus to town good but for us a little bit of a downside that we were not a stroll to town. We did walk it but in the heat not so pleasant. Not keen on the pool set up. Large pool with fantastic splash pool next to it and small kiddies pool alongside. Entertainment poolside. Smaller quieter pool also taken over by children jumping in and using inflatable toys. Even as a family hotel I just thought the guests without children might have been given some thought regarding having the chance to cool off and relax without having children jumping in beside you. That’s my only negative to an otherwise great stay at the Aluasun Costa Park.

Joseph Pickman

Lovely staff, food wasn't great but you could manage. Budget buffet style. Lack of parasol near pool. Hotel rooms very basic we had a family Room And wasn't impressed... Lovely beach only ten mins in taxi. Close to airport. Won't be booking again. Definitely not a 4star. Hotel let it down staff were helpful and made the trip.

Kimberley Brown

Second time visiting, first with a friend for all-inclusive drinking and most recently, stayed here with my 2.5 year old and my partner. Both times we had lots of fun. My son loved the mini disco! The staff all work so hard, yet are always so friendly & helpful. We had a 30 min deep tissue massage st the massage parlour on site- genuinely one of the best massages we've had in our life!! Would happily recommend and return.

Rachael Hogan

Just got back yesterday from this lovely hotel. We had a huge room, we did book a junior suite as we had a toddler, so we needed the room with the pushchair etc. Definitely recommend, modern and big. Food was good, plenty of options in the buffet. Lovely friendly staff. Hotel was spotless. Only silly downside and I’m not moaning at all, was we had a room overlooking the main pool, yet with a pushchair there was no access, so we had to go down in the lift, through the shopping mall, then back in another lift to get to the pool. So had to either carry her down steep steps, not sure why they don’t have a small ramp down from the entertainment area? Like I say she could be carried down, but anyone in a wheelchair probably wouldn’t be possible, so maybe something to improve on. Good kids entertainment. Lovely stay. Thanks ☺️

A Very Disappointing and Unpleasant Experience When we arrived at the hotel reception, I was with my three children, including an infant. Although the booking clearly stated the number of family members and that it was a family room, the receptionist refused to honor the reservation. She insisted that we modify the booking to include the children’s ages, which we did immediately as requested. Despite updating the reservation, she continued to refuse our stay unless we paid an additional fee on top of the original booking price. She stated that the reservation could only be accepted at the new price, which was very unfair and not what we agreed to online. All of this happened while we had tired children with us, and we had to wait for hours. In the end, we had no choice but to leave the hotel. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had, and by far the rudest treatment I’ve received from hotel staff. This situation affected my children deeply, especially because the staff’s behavior was harsh, inappropriate, and completely unprofessional for someone working in hospitality—especially in a tourist country like Spain. To make matters worse, when we arrived, other guests were already waiting in line, but the receptionist ignored them and came directly to us, asking in a very impolite and provocative manner, “What do you want?” It felt humiliating and unwelcoming. Honestly, I felt discriminated against at that moment, and I truly regretted choosing this hotel. It was a very upsetting and disappointing experience that left a negative impact on our trip.

I’ve stayed in many all-inclusive resorts, and this was by far one of the worst experiences I’ve had. This place has absolutely no business calling itself a 4-star hotel. Let’s start with the food: it was awful. Bland, repetitive, and often cold there was no variety there for fussy eaters. The desserts were cheap, tasteless, and looked like something you’d find in a school cafeteria it was just sugary slop passed off as cake or mousse— definitely not what you’d expect from an all-inclusive. The room we were initially given was a complete shock. The photos on the website look nothing like it. It smelled heavily of stale cigarettes, had stained towels, and felt generally unclean. I refused to stay in it, and the only option we were given was to pay €140 to “upgrade” to a better room — which frankly should have been the standard in the first place. While the upgraded room was more modern, that didn’t make up for the rest of the issues. The cutlery, plates, and glasses in the dining area were regularly dirty — clearly not properly washed. The pool was overcrowded and visibly dirty, with no available sunbeds. At the beach, sunbeds were available — but at an extra cost, even though it’s supposedly all-inclusive. Our friends had silverfish crawling around in both their bathroom and bedroom. The room they were moved to wasn’t much better and had the same issue they ended up covered in what looked like bed bug bites. Truly unacceptable conditions. The reception staff were rude and unhelpful and dismissive throughout our stay. The bar staff, on the other hand, were kind and welcoming — one of the only redeeming parts of the experience. The soundproofing in the rooms is non-existent. We could hear music blaring until 5am, plus every cough and conversation from the neighboring rooms. If you’re hoping for a good night’s sleep, forget it. To be fair, the entertainment was decent, and the beach bar had a nice vibe. But those small positives were completely overshadowed by the long list of problems. Also please be aware of some of the reviews as staff are asking for peoples phones to write good reviews. If you have any standards at all, avoid this hotel at all costs. It’s not even close to a true 4-star experience. This felt like torture staying here for a week it should be called the catfish hotel glossy photos online and a rundown reality on arrival. Never again.

Carys Emilie

Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, rooms are dirty, the cleaners don’t actually clean anything just make the beds. Rooms are not soundproof in the slightest you can hear clear conversations from the room next door. Cups & plates at the bar/dining areas are not clean. There are bugs in the rooms (we had to move rooms twice because of this). When raising the concern at reception with videos and photos of the bugs we were told “that’s not a bug”…. Even with the video infront of her face she was adamant it was not a bug. I am covered in bites which I believe are bed bug bites, in total I’ve counted 19 bites on my back and legs which is very uncomfortable having to deal with the constant itching and bright red marks all over my body. Pool area is way too chaotic all day everyday and too small for the amount of guests they take in. We come on holidays to relax not deal with all of this. We work hard for our money and now feel as though it’s all gone to waste with this holiday. The beach bar is quite underwhelming surrounded by nice looking hotels and you have to pay to use the sun-beds on the beach which is a total rip off, if you pay for all inclusive I think that should be included! The hotel is also full of rude guests which I was very fed up of, yes this isn’t the hotels fault but it’s another reason to avoid, people have no manners what so ever, the only people I saw using manners were the British people. Staff members (entertainment specifically) came around asking for our phones one night and proceeded to write 5 star reviews for the hotel on behalf of us. When looking at the reviews again later on you could see how many new reviews had appeared from them doing this. This is fraud! This is not acceptable and not fair on the people (like us) who were expecting a proper 4 star hotel not whatever shambles this is.

Myself, my husband and two young children visited this hotel last week and it was our first big family holiday. It was the most amazing week we could have asked for! The room was beautiful, lovely and spacious with a view of the pool. It was cleaned and beds were made each day which was so refreshing. The washing service was an excellent touch! I did three loads while I was there and went home with a full suitcase of clean washing, ideal when you have to come home and go straight back to work. The drinks were lovely, bar staff were great! When we went to the disco of an evening my children requested their favourite songs and the barman happily obliged- my kids were so happy! The magic show was brilliant, including my little boy in their show really made his holiday extra special. Thank you for the best holiday we ever had. We hope to come back here again one day! 🤍

To be honest, this was my first time traveling to Spain, so having a great hotel was so important. I can't describe how excited I was after checking in because the staff was so incredibly nice. They were always helpful, friendly and spoke 4 languages (so communication was never a problem). The staff outside of the dining room was also very nice, we always had good conversations and great interactions. Not to mention the cleaner was respectful, always had advice ready and was a great person. The only thing I struggled with was 1 power outlet, but I also had a single room so it makes sense even if 2 would be better. Apart from that, the neighbors were sometimes a bit noisy, but that's not the hotel's fault The food was varied, there was always something to eat, like fruit in the morning, scrambled eggs or pizza for lunch. The food was replenished very quickly. In general the pool was refreshing and the sunbeds for sunbathing, there were enough but I'm sure it would have gotten too crowded at some point. In summary, I can recommend the hotel if you are looking for varied food, friendly staff (at all levels) and a great experience. I loved it, but that's for everyone to decide for themselves.

Patrick Ogrady

Great little hotel for what we needed it for, food, pool and all the bars were brilliant super friendly staff that work very quickly. Not sure why this hotel was an option for our golf break as the hotel isn't really built to cater for golfer's (lots of stairs, very small and slow lifts (only 2!!!) that fit 4 people at a push (6 if you want to get friendly) Location is brilliant only a 10 min walk to the local town. Overall very happy with the visit. It's just not for golfer's.

Dayana Shalhoob

Our stay at Blue Sea Cervantes was truly delightful. The hotel enjoys a strategic location in the heart of Torremolinos — close to the local market and just a short distance from the beach, making it ideal for families and travelers who want everything within reach. One of the highlights was a public elevator located just one minute from the hotel, which significantly shortens the walk to the beach from 12 minutes to about 4. This is a great convenience, especially for families with children or guests with limited mobility. The hotel offers beautiful views and excellent cleanliness. Our room was tidy and comfortable, and I’d like to thank the housekeeping staff for their kindness and professionalism. The food at the hotel was delicious and varied, catering to different tastes. Service throughout the hotel was exceptional, and I want to give special thanks to Manolo and Carlos from the restaurant — always friendly and smiling, they added a warm touch to our experience. The customer service overall was outstanding, with all staff being courteous, attentive, and professional. We didn’t stay during the high season, but we learned there is a children’s room with activities available only during peak periods. I sincerely hope the hotel considers keeping this room open all year round, as it adds great value for families. The ninth floor offers a stunning panoramic view, and there is also a well-equipped gym, perfect for guests who like to stay active during their holidays. Although there are four elevators, they were often crowded, especially at busy times. I hope the management can improve or expand the elevator system to better accommodate the number of guests. Another great convenience is the car rental service available inside the hotel, and the paid indoor parking at €7 per day is a reasonable and helpful option for those with vehicles. I highly recommend this hotel, and if I ever return to Málaga, I will definitely choose to stay here again.

Jen Allen

We had booked a lovely hotel, but they had issues with the room so Love Holidays found us a replacement which did not meet our needs. Too far from the beach, the hotel is dated, the swimming pool doesn't open until 11 am. The "all inclusive" drinks were clearly watered down, and you were lucky to get served as staff disappeared. Cocktails and ice creams along with a decent cup of coffee had to be paid for. Really poor animation team, nothing offered during the day as in water aerobics etc. I've given an extra star for the food as this was actually ok. Definitely would not busy again.

Valerie Richards

We have just returned from a weeks holiday here staying bed and breakfast ( as we like to eat out). The breakfast was great everything you needed. The hotel is lovely, friendly staff, housekeeping great room cleaned every day. The location is excellent for seeing the sites at the top, loads of shops, bars and restaurants, but also easy reach to the lift for the beachfront with more shops bars and restaurants, the lift was never a problem very friendly man on there. My only gripe was the pool opening times. We went 3rd of May the pool opened at 11am closing 5pm ( not a long time). Which at 5pm if you were sunbathing round the pool you were asked to move to the opposite sunbed area. This needs to change as it is a family hotel, the children need the pool to play, after all that's why you take children away. Or if you wanted a morning swim.All in all it didn't bother us as we are sunbathers anyway this didn't put us off and we will definitely stay here again. Maybe already planning it.

Chris Hale

Went to see a live band on the rooftop bar. Great when you get up there. We didn't see any signs, but took the elevator to the highest floor, then used the stairs. Lovely cocktails and fantastic views!

Lisa M

The hotel was very clean and all the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a little dated in parts of the hotel, however, and the all-inclusive food was your standard 4-star hotel arrangement, but lots of choices were offered with different foods every day we stayed. The rooftop bar and pool were a great perk, although drinks here are not part of the all-inclusive package.

Sarah White

Great hotel, the staff were so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The rooms were spotless and we got fresh towels whenever we needed them. The entertainment team and staff around the pool were great and not too pushy. They let us know about the entertainment and they were so upbeat and got everyone involved. We couldn't fault them and we will definitely be back. The beach is directly out the back entrance and the hotel even have an Ice cream parlor facing the beach. Everything was within walking distance

Gerard Dinan

We had a wonderful stay at Sol Puerto Marina as a family of four, with our two little ones (18 months and 5 years old). The hotel was incredibly family-friendly and made our holiday stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. The location is ideal ,just a short stroll to the beach and close to shops and restaurants, which made outings with the kids super convenient. The pool area was a big hit with our 5-year-old, and there was plenty of space for our toddler to safely toddle around. Our room was spacious and clean, with enough room for all of us to feel comfortable. The staff were so kind and accommodating, always ready with a smile and happy to help with anything we needed, especially when it came to the kids. Breakfast had a great variety, and even our picky eater found something to enjoy every morning. We felt relaxed and well taken care of the entire time. Sol Puerto Marina is a fantastic choice for families, we’re already talking about coming back next year!

Declan Twomey

It’s our fifth time coming here. Everything about it is top class we have recommended it to lots of friends and family. The hotel is top class. I particularly enjoy the morning fitness classes especially the spinning. The instructors are so helpful especially Raul. It’s a great start to the day.

Lorraine Winters

We are just back from a 10 night stay, 3 adults and 2 teenagers. The location is perfect, there is a beautiful promenade right outside the apartments. The room was spotless and all staff from reception to the cleaning team, the entertainment team, the shop staff and the bar staff are so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon entertainment at the pool bar. The shop was well stocked and there are plenty of shops and bars in the Montemar area. We have stayed at these apartments numerous times and were never disappointed. We can't wait to be back!

Tiffany Darcy

We are staying her currently and I can’t fault it. It’s clean, lots to do for the kids, the location is brilliant with lots to do within walking distance. It has its own supermarket within the hotel which is so convenient and Edu behind the counter is so lovely! All the staff are great with the kids, they interact with them all day. The only downside is the kids disco, I wish it was longer for the kids and if they changed it up each evening. Other than that I would highly recommend this hotel for families.

Robert Mcnicol

We were originally meant to stay in a nearby hotel and booked La Barracuda as a last minute choice. It was the best thing that happened to us. Everything about our stay was perfect. There was a great chilled vibe about the place. The staff all worked extremely hard and in our experience were very pleasant and friendly. I know hotel food can be a bit hit or miss but for us it was very good and a decent choice, we didn’t have any occasion where we struggled to find something. I know sunbeds can be a tricky subject too, I didn’t see any crazy Sun bed runs and the staff were very efficient in removing towels from sunbeds that had not been used within a certain time. Location was perfect and the views we had of the beach, pool and marina were stunning as they also were from the rooftop bar area. Poolside bar prices for drinks and snacks were very competitive and not pricey at all. I have no doubt we will visit this hotel again and again, and have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family. Our trip was to celebrate my retirement and cant speak highly enough about the little touches the hotel did to help me celebrate this.

Lesley Grant

What a great Hotel, rooms are bright and spacious, communal areas are well looked after, breakfast was plentiful. Entertainment by the pool was good. The views from the rooftop terrace were amazing, as we're the drinks. Bar snacks were really good and reasonably priced. The staff are pleasant and work so hard at this Hotel. We've already booked for next year.

Julie and Stuart Scott

Hotel is clean food is ok nothing special no granola for breakfast so had to buy my own.great sea and pool view from our balcony on the 6th floor my only complaint is people putting towels on sun beds then going off. some were left on sunbeds for a couple of hours taking up a bed someone else could have used .the air conditioning unit outside the room is low my husband hit his head twice. it's a great place if your disabled it's all flat.3 lifts in the hotel the entertainment need improving..great rooftop bar

Bob Charles

10/10 from the moment you walked in, you was greeted made welcome ! Room was spotless very modern lots of space and cupboards and drawers .. great very modern TV and stations … bed. Wow so comfortable big fridge doesn’t make a noise .. power shower wanted to take it home .food plenty of choice little repetitive very nicely displayed .dining room staff very helpful and always happy and cheerful. just like my room the entire hotel is very, very clean. Step out the front of the hotel and you’re on the beach close to all shops and loads of eating places all staff management and owners should be very proud of this hotel and what they have achieved and offer happy BOB will definitelySee you soon again.

Celestine Duval

Let's start off with the positives, the room was lovely and big and clean nice balcony with sea view and not noisy as we were on the back and hotel is in an excellent location. Hot items at breakfast where quite nice and lots of fresh bread and pastries to choose from. The roof top bar is also class. That's about where it ends for the positives unfortunately I think the thing we found most shocking was that you had to pay to rent a kettle if you wanted one for the room, I have never seen this in any hotel, normally a kettle is provided for tea and coffee. Also we found that the staff was not that friendly, we got told off for using the room towels at the pool but then the hotel doesn't provide pool towels like most would in this situation, we also found this rather irritating considering that there was also a rule about not pre booking loungers with towels but everyone seemed to do this, a few times we went down and impossible to find a lounger due to people having reserved them, if you are gonna be strict with one rule you should stick to all the rules... also at breakfast there was a lack of fresh fruit and the fresh fruit they did have looked like it was going bad, also my partner found some type of fish or chicken bone in his baked beans on 1st morning which was quite off putting.

Robert Reid

Budget Hotel, no bar or restaurant though within 5 minutes walk of lots. Rooms basic but very clean, service very good for cleaning, towel change etc. Lifts to floors 4 and 5. Good sized pool 1.2 to 1.5 mtr deep, no kids pool. Beach, La Carihuela, within 5 minutes walk. Promenade all the way to Torremelinos or Benalmadena the other direction. Lovely shopping area within 15 minutes walk just off the promenade. Supermarkets within 2 minutes walk, lovely cafe just around the corner for breakfast or lunch rolls etc. Transport a bit sketchy but taxi costs 7 to 9 euro to centre of town. Overall, you get what you pay for. In this case good service and great location. Definitely recommended.

Jonathan Lancaster

For the cheap price we thought these apartments were great value for money. Room decor was dated but perfectly clean enough and we had a balcony and with a sea view! The beach is about a 100 metres away by the way. Pool was a decent size and never overly busy, really relaxed atmosphere with an older crowd so no noisiness. We noticed there was an accessible lift down to the pool and an accessible seat to lower people into the pool if required. People on reception were lovely. Lots of mini markets and bars nearby. Really lovely coffee shop/bakery also right next door. You can get train from the airport to El Pinillo train station on the C1 line, about 7/8 stops. From there it’s about a 13 minute walk. You can use your bank card to tap in and out. Alternatively an uber was about €18-20. Easy to get into Malaga too on the same line. Or a similar Uber price.

Louise Hunter

It's a lovely, friendly complex. Within easy access to everything, especially the beach. And whilst the rooms are a little dated . It's the cleanest and most well-kept place I've stayed in a long time.

Mike Thompson

Clean tidy rooms with limited cooking facilities for self catering. Strangest toilet configuration I have ever seen adjacent to the bath certainly had to strike an interesting yoga pose when sitting down on it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of bars, takeaways and supermarkets all within easy reach. Bus stop at the top of the road and close to the beach and about a 10 minute walk to the Marina where there are lists of restaurants and bars. We enjoyed our short stay there, it has a nice sunny pool area with plenty of sun loungers. Got the feeling quite a few guests return there regularly as it had a nice community feel about it.

Shaun Whittaker

Excellent location and brilliant friendly staff will definitely have no hesitation booking again thank you

Nathan Davies

I recently stayed at Hotel Costa Malaga By Pierre & Vacances, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. Check-in was quick and easy, which was a relief after a long day of travel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always greeting with a smile and happy to assist with anything I needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and just what I was looking for – a perfect place to relax after exploring the city. And the location couldn’t have been better! It was close to key attractions, great restaurants, and had easy access to public transport. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Torremolinos!

Eugene

Clean, spacious rooms, great location, and superb breakfast. May I add that this is the first ever hotel I've ever stayed in Europe that has a hand-held bidet installed in the toilet! Even the Four Seasons and Ritzes and Mandarin Orientals still don't have that crucial amenity for proper hygiene! So bless you for that ❤️

Peter Clifford

This hotel is in a perfectly central location for everything Torremolinos has to offer (the shops, pubs, bars, restaurants etc). The reception area, dining area (for both breakfast, lunch & evening meals), the bar area adjacent to the pool area which offers varied seating and sun-lounger options to the stunning roof-top terrace bar are all well-appointed, well designed and attractive spaces. All the staff were very helpful too. Our only gripe was that the air-con in our room could have been stronger, but this really is our only criticism. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation and would readily recommend this place to anyone. It is also adult only so no having to put with others' tiresome kids shouting, screaming, arguing & crying etc. Thanks for a fabulous first stay in Torremolinos! 👍👍 We'll be back!

Serat-E Insta: touch_my_belly

The walk is 15 mins from the beach with down hill steps and of course uphill when returning. The staff were really friendly and useful throughout the trip. Did not check out the pool or sun beds whilst there but hotel rooms were average. The bedding was a little thin and aircon wasn’t the best. Door was a little flimsy and could be updated.

Robin Goodhand

We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel in March 2025. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel location is very central, about 3 minute walk from the train and directly on a bus route. Lots of good restaurants nearby, and we had a nice sea view from our balcony.

Joshua Cutts

This place is great! The staff are very hard-working and the pool is amazing! If you go, look out for the ducks swimming at night in the larger pools. There is a wide range of food on-offer and it is all very tasty! The family rooms are modern-looking and have a good amount of space with a decently-sized balcony. The local area is bustling and the beach is lovely, but the sand can get very hot and it gets shingly towards the shoreline. The local buses aren't frequent and sometimes they don't go all the way! Taxis seem to be the best way to get around. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Michał Tomczyk

Very nice hotel. Large pool complex, very close to the beach, WiFi everywhere, clean, good food, interesting drinks. What I missed was music by the pools or even quiet music at the bars. Parties—there were often only short shows, but there was no place to dance, and sometimes the plates in the dining area were not properly cleaned. What cannot be denied is the service. All the staff, especially those in the kitchen and the cleaners, are very hardworking people who are always smiling and helpful. The greatest respect to them!

Daniel Considine

We had an absolutely wonderful two week stay here in early July. Very Busy hotel but the staff and service are great. Breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent woth good choice everyday. Made it very easy when you have young children. Room was lovely and clean and the hotel facilities were great. The two lagoon pools and the kids pool were amazing and the range of activities that took place around them each day was brilliant. From water slides, to spinning classes, aqua aerobics and cocktail demos. The real hero's of the stay were the kids club, Kidsdom. The staff were friendly, warm and engaging with the kids and parents. It was well managed and safe with a fantastic range of activities for the kids. Special shout out to the staff in the Holly Group. They also had a range of activities for older kids and teens. 12/10 will be back next year

terry scudder

Came here in July for first time it is a very big hotel with lots of areas, our room was high up on ninth floor with lovely views of pool area and beach. There was three lifts servicing our floor but they were small four people max, food was lovely everyday, evening entertainment wasn’t the best but your not at butlins. There was kids clubs all day. Overall lovely hotel

Alfie Preston

Originally, I wrote a good strong review of this place. First few days I really enjoyed my time here. But it gradually got worse on the last few days. First of all, the cleaning staff here are hardworking and make the rooms look great. However, on the one of the last days the staff decided it was a good idea to move my laundry into the bidet. Why? I have no idea. I never requested this and for some reason my own washing that I never mentioned to them was dumped in the same place people wash their bums!!! I don’t understand the logic here. Why move someone personal items that they never asked to be moved into the most unhygienic place of this entire hotel room!!! Secondly, the hotel is overpopulated, simple. Too many people for such a small place (in comparison). The buffet system is often overcrowded and the poor chefs clearly can’t handle the literally hundreds of armies trotting down to get some food. Also, not necessarily the hotels fault however something worth mentioning: People stare here. I don’t know why but there are some weird families holidaying in Torremolinos. You will just get random stares. Most families here are also inconsiderate, rude and do not care for other’s. They will have their kids running rampant across bar areas, poolsides and buffets, all when you’re trying to enjoy your OWN holiday. If you don’t have kids or a big family, learn from our mistakes and do not book here. Positives: Great location, that doesn’t change no matter the hotel situation. It’s right near the beach and seaside shops. Accommodating and welcoming reception/bar staff.

Geraldine Goodwin

Lovely hotel, very close to seafront.Junior suite was definitely big enough for 3, 4 would have been a push though. Buffet selection at breakfast & evening meal was good with plenty of choice. Only downside, there are not enough sunbeds & if you aren't queuing at 9.30, you're unlikely to get a lounger!

Cristian Ceocoiu

The hotel was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. We opted for the half board and the food variety was extensive, with a good rotation of different dishes. The room would be cleaned every day. The hotel has two small swimming pools, one on the ground floor and one on the rooftop where the 'sky bar' is. They had an event every night and the local area as well is filled with different bars and restaurants. The hotel is literally within 200 feet of the beach. Would recommend.

Great location, close to restaurants and the beach. A bit of a walk, but a nice one, into the real city center of Torremolinos. The rooms were decent in size, but sound insulation was poor – we could hear noise from the hallway very clearly, especially in the mornings when housekeeping started. Cleaning during our stay felt quite superficial: the floors remained gritty, and on one occasion the balcony door was left open by the cleaner, even though we had locked it when leaving for the day. There are two pools, both fairly fresh and enjoyable overall, but with issues. One pool had greenish slime or algae on a few of the edges, which we occasionally touched when swimming – not pleasant. The other pool was missing a few mosaic tiles, creating small rough patches where it was easy to scratch yourself. The sunbed situation was stressful. There simply weren’t enough sunbeds for the number of guests, leading to daily competition and arguments. Many guests reserved beds very early, and by mid-morning it was often impossible to find a free one. We had half board, and the food was generally fine, but the dining room was extremely noisy – loud dishwashing, clinking cutlery, and beeping coffee machines made it unpleasant when the room started to fill up. Service was inconsistent: some staff were kind and attentive, while others seemed indifferent. It was very difficult to order drinks during dinner, and staff often couldn't answer questions about the ingredients – a serious issue for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions. The hotel offered happy hour, which was a pleasant surprise when we arrived, until we realised it was limited to beer, wine, and sangria – no cocktails included, which was disappointing. In summary, the hotel was okay-ish, but lack of some maintenance, the atmosphere in the dining area, and service issues made it hard to relax fully. With improvements, it could have been a much more enjoyable stay.

A fabulous hotel. Spotlessly clean light and bright. Staff go out of their way to help. Fab rooftop bar pool and jacuzzi with amazing views. Rooms very comfortable and huge. One minute from beach. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Perfect

Old suite Hotel but clean and comfy rooms. Buffet food was OK but restaurant did get busy on occasions but also appeared to be short staffed which added to the waiting. Location was fantastic and rooftop pool area was great but also occasionaly ran out of sunbeds. Staff were great and would stop there again as good value for money.

The furniture is worn. The air conditioning is too weak. The cleaning staff is too loud. The bathroom is outdated. In some rooms, the exhaust air smells unbearable. Although a superior room was booked, every year we receive a room that differs in size and furnishings (double bed, 2 single beds). Some rooms are half the size of others but come with an unnecessary roof terrace. However, a different price is charged. It was a good hotel 20 years ago. Not recommended.

Stephanie Kelly

Myself and my fiancé stayed here for 5 nights on the morning of check out we loved it so much we booked an extra 3 nights! We could not recommend this is hotel enough the location was perfect the city is just by the main entrance and the main strip/beach is just a walk down the footpath from the hotels own downstairs exit The staff were friendly and kind I can not thank Angela in the reception enough as she was so kind to us on our stay she was so genuine and helpful overall we met Angela when we were checking in and she helped us with any query’s that we had during our stay. It was so nice to see someone who really enjoys their job and takes pride in what they do and took the time to talk and makes sure we were always happy with everything She went above and beyond to do what she could for us The hotel was fabulous and spotless We will definitely stay here again and look forward to our return

Jere Nevalainen

The hotel’s location is excellent, and the rooms are spacious, with the added bonus of a small balcony where you can enjoy coffee and a snack. The breakfast was generous, and the chef made omelettes to order, just for you. However, the breakfast attendant tried every morning to charge us again for our breakfast, even though we explained each time that it had already been paid for. He did not listen and was rude every single time. There were three of us staying at the hotel, and this happened every morning, which ruined the atmosphere of breakfast for us. The service was otherwise consistent throughout our stay.

Pablo Savva

Great spot and would definitely come again, it's extremely good value for money with excellent service. The staff bent backwards to help. The location is absolutely lovely, set back slightly from the beach you have a 30s walk to the promenade and beach and the reception floor exits to the main town area with lots of lovely spots for breakfast, shops and bars. The decor is slightly dated but I really liked it, it's a bit of a blast from the past and everything is very functional and surprisingly all in very good condition. The clientele are around 50+ and it's very quiet when we went.

T S

Super well located, easy access to the beach from the bottom entrance, quite small pool area, but still quite nice. Really friendly helpful staff, they helped me a few times and I also saw them dealing with other customers in a very professional and friendly manner. Well priced considering the service aspect, location and nice room.

Adrian Gourlay

I stayed here with my eight year old daughter at the end of May. We usually book the Don Pablo but was closed due to ongoing building work. This was our second stay at the Don Pedro, the first one was during new year in 2024/25. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I hope the management recognises that their staff are the best asset of this hotel, from the bar staff, to the cleaners, security, reception and restaurant staff. They all work incredibly hard to make this hotel welcoming and function efficiently. The hotel is very clean and rooms were tidied every day. The Sol rooms are looking a bit dated now, but we were comfortable. The swimming pools were well maintained, although there are still some loose floor tiles in the indoor pool which have not been repaired since I visited in December. There was a decent choice of food in the restaurant although scope to vary the menu and have more Spanish items - the Don Pablo will have more choice once it's open.The bar is comfortable and relaxing with a wide choice of drinks, but would benefit from more staff during peak hours. One recommendation I would make is to ban smoking around the outdoor pools. It's not pleasant breathing in other people's smoke, particularly with young children. The other recommendation is to have drinks available in the restaurant which customers can help themselves. I don't understand why there is a waiter service for those who simply want water for example. Overall this was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend it.

Chakramoonandstars

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, the food was glorious really fresh and tasty. I have knocked off one star for the lack of Tea/Coffee making facilities in the rooms. There is a fridge but no kettle and I really enjoy a cup of Tea/Coffee when I am chilling in the room....however this is a minor gripe as otherwise the rooms are wonderful :0) The swimming pools were fabulous. This is super important : Just before our flight home my daughter who is 10yrs old was very sick she picked up a bug (not at the hotel I was not sick so offsite) I didn't think we would make our flight home, however you have a member of staff on security named IVAN he was amazing, he got a wheel chair for my daughter and assisted us into a taxi to get to the airport, he reassured my daughter at every step, he was incredible so kind caring and helpful I really hope you will be able to pass on our gratitude and thank him for being outstanding, he is a credit to your team.

Ruben Sanders

The hotel has a few pros and cons. The location is excellent — close to the beach and amenities — and the atmosphere is peaceful, with no noise from other guests. However, the beds are quite hard and the walls are thin, so you can sometimes hear neighbors. The outdoor pool is very cold, as it’s not heated, and parking is overpriced considering the lot is often empty. Breakfast is adequate but nothing special. Overall, a quiet place to stay, but with room for improvement in comfort and facilities.

Sylviane Leger

I had a hotel staff (security) member walk in on me naked, without knocking, without announcing themselves, and without permission. They entered our private room unannounced — a gross violation of personal privacy and safety. Shortly after, my husband — the registered guest — returned to the room with his key, only to be physically blocked by the same staff who put their hands on him and tried to stop him from entering his own room. What was the hotel’s initial response? Excuses and defensive attitude. A manager eventually offered us all-inclusive bracelets as compensation. * We appreciated the initial gesture until two days later, I went to the bar to order the same drink I’d been given for two days under the all-inclusive plan when a bartender with a poor attitude denied me the drink — telling me “that was a mistake” with no professionalism. Management told us the bracelets included with the exception of top shelf whiskeys and premium spirits of this nature. Made sense. Every drink I’ve attempted to order is only 30% off and not included as we were previously advised. And then, it happened again. I returned to my room in the afternoon — expecting housekeeping had already come and gone — and a housekeeper barged into my room without knocking or saying a word. This is unacceptable on every level. *** I will add however that the hotel has since acknowledged and apologized for the incident(s). The housekeeping staff (M) that was assigned to our room for the remainder of our stay was EXCELLENT. She was warm, friendly, incredibly helpful. We loved chatting with her and she was extremely kind and did a stellar job! The hotel owner’ has acknowledged they’ve reminded staff of proper conduct. (Thank you!) The guest experience team

I recently stayed at Don Pedro, one of the three hotels in the Sol Torremolinos complex, and overall had a positive experience. One of the biggest perks is that guests have full access to all three hotels' facilities at no extra cost—this adds excellent value and variety to the stay. Rooms The rooms are compact but functional. Mine included a balcony with two chairs, a small table, and a drying rack—a thoughtful touch. However, be aware that the hotel discourages hanging clothes over the balcony rail. A downside is that the rooms are not soundproof, and noise from the hallways can be disruptive, especially at night. Entertainment Entertainment is a standout feature of the complex. The staff are professional, energetic, and engaging, offering a wide variety of activities throughout the day—from pool cycling and gym classes to darts and games. Evening entertainment is well-organized, with two different shows each night: usually one featuring live singing and the other a live performance or themed show. The hotel also has a kids club and an arcade. Food The food is diverse and well-labeled, catering to vegetarians, vegans, and those with food allergies or dietary restrictions (e.g., pork, dairy, gluten). Meals are buffet-style for the most part, which works well. The only hiccup is at dinner, where drink service is handled by wait staff—this can cause delays and feels a bit out of step with the otherwise self-service setup. Beach and Pools The hotel is conveniently located just opposite the beach, and you're allowed to take hotel pool towels down to the shore, which is a nice bonus. The pools are lively with entertainment options, but also have plenty of sunbeds for relaxing. There are toilets near most pools, so you don’t need to head back inside, which is a practical touch. Final Verdict Don Pedro delivers great entertainment, good food variety, and convenient beach access within a flexible and family-friendly hotel complex. A few improvements—especially around soundproofing and dinner drink service—could make the stay even better, but overall, it’s a fun, well-rounded choice offering good value for money.

We visited Torremolinos for the first time and had a fantastic stay at Ocean House Costa del Sol. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Breakfast was a highlight—plenty of variety including a fresh omelette station, delicious bread, fruit, and more. Our room was spacious, spotless, and offered stunning views of the sea and port—perfect for two people. During the day, we loved relaxing at the Play Bar. It had a quieter pool area, great food and drinks, and a laid-back vibe. The DJ from 4pm created a fun and lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. All of the hotel staff were absolutely 5-star—friendly, professional, and always happy to help. They really made the experience extra special. A truly memorable stay—we’ll definitely return!

Estelle Georgsson

Our stay was amazing and the staff were very welcoming and kind. The hotel was located right across the beach and right beside the beautiful beach walk which was really nice. Our room was very nice and the balcony view was beautiful, even though we had a room on the first floor. The only downside was that the shower could have been much nicer and fresher and that the bathroom sometimes had a bit of a sewage smell. The breakfast buffe was amazing with a wide range of different breakfast foods but I would not recommend eating at the lunch buffet (which you have to pay for) since it has a lot less options of food compared to the dinner buffet. Once at the dinner buffet the fried chicken was raw inside, which I noticed after eating half the chicken… They fixed it when I informed them but they should have checked it before serving it to their visitors. The pools were really nice and clean and the wonderful lifeguard was really helpful and tried to get everyone who wanted a sunbed one. There were also many fun pool activities like aqua dancing and yoga.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ocean House Malaga, and I can genuinely say it was one of the best experiences I've had while traveling. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The location is unbeatable – right by the beach, with stunning views of the sea. The beach itself was incredibly beautiful: soft sand, crystal-clear water, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to relax. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying the breathtaking views from the property was an experience I'll never forget. The accommodation was modern, clean, and very comfortable. Every detail seemed well thought out, and the overall design of the property added to the relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. What truly stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone I encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable and had everything I needed. Their friendliness made the stay even more enjoyable and memorable. In short, I highly recommend Ocean House Malaga to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a stunning location. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Paul Martin

Great spot, location couldn't be better. Went for the breakfast option, which was excellent. Rooms were cleaned every day with towels changed. Only thing I'd say is if you get a room with shower only ask for an extra floor towel to put onto the shower tray. It can be extremely slippery if you don't. Sunbeds can be a challenge, if your not out at the latest 9:30, you won't be getting one. No leaving your towel and disappearing, if you're not at your beds up until 10:45, the towels will be immediately removed, and after you'll be given an hours notice before they are removed. One drawback for us would be the nighttime entertainment, no real variety. We've stayed in SOL hotels over the years, and there was a time when the entertainment was more family orientated, not just aimed at adults. Singers every night gets a bit repetitive, could mix it up with some magicans or acrobats, making it a bit more family-friendly. Overall a great hotel.

Ghislain Atzeni

Perfect location by the beach, modern and spotless rooms, incredible rooftop pool, and a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Highly recommended

liz Barker

Lovely hotel in great location. Clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating when I requested to change rooms. Lovely gesture for my birthday, wine and cake delivered to room. Thanks to all staff for our lovely stay. We will return.

Jason Hibbert

Wonderful art deco hotel with real character and a sense of history. Staff generally friendly and attentive, if not quite the entire team at all times as advertised. The buffet food was reasonable, especially the breakfast. Cocktails were quite poor quality, air con in the bedroom didn't seem to work although we didn't report this as it wasn't hot enough to cause us an issue. The pool was cold and only open for a short time, and a couple of the advertised facilities didn't seem to be open potentially because we stayed at the end of April. Will definitely consider staying again

Paul How

Just returned from a week's holiday at Hotel Pez Espada. Great hotel, lovely staff and excellent choice of food, both at breakfast and dinner. Great location for exploring both Torremolinos and Belamendia. Would highly recommend. Thank you and hope to see you again next year.

Volodymyr “Vlad” Kryvenko

This is the third time we visited the hotel as a family over the last 2 years. There are good and bad points. The good outweigh the bad ones for some people, however there is one thing which makes me seriously consider if I want to return - it's the bad state of the gym. Dear hotel management, please invest into your gym upkeep. It's just too bad. I will add more details below. So, the good: - location. Very very convenient. Only 20 mins taxi ride from the airport. Right on the beach, very close to Benalmadena Puerto Marina. Close to Parque de la Bateria which is a fantastic park with magnficient views. La Carihuela beach is large, spacious, beautiful. The area is quiet and if you need restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy etc etc - everything is within 5-10 mins walk - the hotel's reception and lobby area are impressive, truly cosy and welcoming. They are kept in good order and always smell nice with their signature Pez Espada hotel scent the pool area and other outdoor spaces are quite good - it was pleasant to be there - the food on the half board basis is excellent. I have seen some people complaining about the food variety, options and quality in the reviews. I cannot support that. The food is excellent! We enjoyed every breakfast and dinner on all three visits. The desserts are nothing to write home about, but this is a common theme across all spanish hotels we visited. However, I repeat - everything else is very good - Dino, the ice cream shop, serves excellent ice creams. Briliiant! The bad: - gym. This is the one area which is completely forgotten by the hotel managament. The cross trainer stopped working altogether. It was barely functional on our two previous visits, but this time in May 2025 we found it was totally broken. The cords on the weighs machine got partially snapped. The sanitiser to clean the equipment after use was removed. One miserable yoga mat provided for the entire gym. It's all quite sad. The gym is located in a premium spot of the hotel overlooking the swimming pool and the sea. It has genuinely nice views and feel. Just so sad to see it not being looked after. This puts me off tbh - the swimming pool is nice, but the hotel should invest into heating - the walls are quite thin. The wall mounted TVs make the neighbors experience uncomfortable even when sound is not that loud - the smokers should be prohibited from smoking on the balconies and in the common areas. They should receive a designated area somewhere around car park Overall, this is a solid option if you are not interested in the gym. So solid, it's hard to beat for the area.

Nicola Batkin

Great hotel. We stayed in a Suite and had access to the gold lounge. Totally worth it. Staff were amazing. Breakfast 10/10 Would be good if more kids activities

JL

Great location - close enough to the beach, without the noise. All staff that I met were super accommodating. The breakfast buffet was good too. I had an ocean view and made lots of use of the balcony. Bottled water in the fridge was appreciated but would have liked tea bags/coffee for use with the kettle.

Miguel B

Really close to the beach with an indoor elevator that takes you to the Center of town. Honestly, beats every other hotel by the shore line just by not making walk 100 steps stairs… Rooms are a bit old, doors make a lot of noise when closing, so you can hear everyone leaving or entering the rooms.. Breakfast and dinner were honestly really poor.. I know it’s on the cheaper side, but I rather have better quality than variety.. It has good amenities and the facilities offer plenty(exterior and interior pool, bar, rooftop with jacuzzi).

Rasmus. Fdskh

We arrived in the evening and wanted to get some laundry done! We found some laundry bags in our room, and asked the cleaning lady how much it would cost to get our laundry done! She didn’t speak any English, and there was no price list in our room! We decided to give her the laundry anyway! We did know it was going to cost extra compared to a laundry service in town! (We payed about€ 18 to get the clothes washed earlier in another town! ) they had the laundry for 2 days and when we got the bill, it was €216 !! It was more than the clothes was worth!! I trued to tell them we couldn’t get a price when we asked for it, and even though we knew it would cost extra we were chocked when we got the bill ! They just said that was the rate and there should have been a price list in our room ! They gave us 10% so we payed €195 for the laundry! I have never experienced such a bad customer service and can to this day, still not understand why they didn’t gave us a price when they saw the old clothes we had given them to wash!

Julie Stares

Great hotel for a short stay. Comfortable beds, very clean and staff very helpful. Food was good, plenty of choice. Very good location. We knew we had booked a room with no balcony so that was as expected, we also knew about the construction site opposite, but it did not really bother us. Overall a good hotel at a reasonable price.

Benjamin

Positive things: Location and Breakfast. Negative things: Room size is good but why small bed. I had Insects (ants) in the room. Closing doors in all rooms (noise). Cleanliness of the pool. WiFi is terrible. Guests who leave towels to take a place at the pool and then go somewhere else so others have no place who really want to swim.

Anne Beardsmore

Travelled on 24/6/25 for 7 nights a group of 7 ladies a welcome return to this lovely quaint hotel Hotel is a little tired looking in places but there were room renovations being carried out which is a good thing All staff pleasant and welcoming and all areas very clean however there is a breakfast room overlooking the sea and a bar area by reception that could be utilised better as these are not open ( except at breakfast) Beatrice waitress in Tropicana was lovely and set up breakfast everyday so we could all eat together We did have to have our evening meal next door at the sister hotel (MS Amaragua) and this restaurant couldn’t seem to cope with a party of 7 as most nights we were squashed up on a table for 6 They didnt seem to welcome quests from Tropicana very well as there were larger parties in this hotel ms Amaragua that seem to get larger tables (that may be just our experience) The other factor which was annoying was the saving of sunbeds particularly by Tropicana pool people were out from 7-7.30 am putting on towels and some would not use the beds till much later !!! This hotel is right on the beach and convenient to shops and bars and only 20 mins from airport . in all it has more good points than bad so we will hopefully be there again next year.

Joseph Dewell

Little jem of a place. Clean tidy good staff. The wife and myself enjoyed our stay and have Little criticism. The breakfast needs more attention to keep it warm. Possibly better if the plates where warm instead of cold .all in all would return no problem

Gary Price

A lovely hotel that is quite small in comparison to others around and rooms are quite old looking and don't have a kettle in rooms (not a big miss). Tropical no a has changed its layout for breakfast since our last visit 2019.You get a lovely sea view and breakfast has plenty to choose from. It's a shame they don't use the reception area and breakfast areas more as there is a bar there which is never open and lovely views in the evening in the breakfast area if that was open in the evening. That said you can use all the facilities to the sister hotel next door M/S Aramanga. They have an indoor pool and sauna) steam room and a much bigger outside pool area. The hotel is right on the front and beach you will not be disappointed with location. Decent price as long as you can except it is a little old in the rooms but very clean and pleasant staff.

Ahlam Najjar

I booked dubbel room with breakfast. Room was small. The staff on the breakfast were very bad and angry. They were not friendly. They control people. The breakfast was very poor. No vegetables and all glass very dirty. I don't recommend it.

Alex Bullion

Really enjoyed our stay - the location is perfect - almost directly on the beach. Great facilities- pool, gym Spa. My only criticism was that I asked to bring a coffee from the breakfast area to my room and was told very sternly!!! that I could it 'just this once' and not tomorrow. And no coffee/tea in the room. Apart from this the hotel is very good. Breakfast is also included.

gill Moore

There is a lot of building work going on at adjoining hotel.There is only one restaurant for two hotels to eat in for breakfast dinner and lunch so it is an absolute bunfight to find a seat without being trampled on. We had a room with a sea view it was quite small and very, very hot. We had to ask for a fan because there was no air conditioning on. The food was very good when you could get to it, we did enjoy our stay overall but there were certain things about the hotel we didn't like so we won't return.

Susan Hutchinson

Had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. In a great location and the grounds and swimming pools were wonderful. The rooms were amazing and so comfortable and clean. The choice and quality of food was excellent. The Gala buffet on Christmas Day and the Gala meal on New Year's Eve both brilliant. All the staff so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Alan Headley

Actually went in the spa underneath the carpark. Great staff had an amazing massage seaweed wrap and second day had a hotstone massage. Amazing and worth the 7.5km walk.

Ger Hall

We spent four weeks in the Don Marco hotel and over all had a wonderful holiday, celebrating Christmas and new year while there.. Any issues we had arriving ,were dealt swiftly by Annie @guests experience desk. Staff are courteous, friendly and Catering staff, waiters/waiteress are kept really busy. Food was satisfying and plenty of variety.. Bedrooms are cleaned on a daily basis by very patient staff. This was our fourth trip having previously stayed in don Pedro,and don pablo..Would definitely stay again..

Chantell Smith

My experience At the Don Marco hotel was 1000/1000. Everything was perfect . When we checked in the hotel 18/01/25 was bright clean and lovely . We was greeted, By 2 lovely ladies on reception . Rooms clean, Resturant clean , Bar area Clean everything perfect . But I need to shout out my 2 favourite ladies who gave the best service ever . Annie Cedeno & Veronica ( btw hope you liked our gift ) you both deserved it . You too both were superb and made our trip A holiday to remember . From me organising my partners birthday in suprise Annie help me with bday packages and how I can order and then Veronica help me keep it a secret on check in . Great customer service . All team said morning and evening . Very friendly staff . The breakfast was cooked to perfection and the choices were WOW. Cocktails were awesome also . I will definitely come back. Sea view 100000% Recommended , Thank you Don Marco . Brilliant

Eleanor Walsh

I'm honestly not at all happy with my stay here. After asking several times for a room with a good view, I ended up with a room with a window overlooking some shabby houses nearby. The room's cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The room is small for the price. The buffet food is inedible. The La Ola bar is a bit better, although the waiters are inattentive. Marta and Alberto from the kitchen are very friendly and address all our needs, and the food is even better there. However, I wouldn't return.

Scrambler Jaxx

We are staying at the MS at the moment and cannot fault the hotel. The hotel is amazing, the decor is beautiful and the staff are lovely and very helpful. The restaurant is amazing, the food is fantastic and presented in such a way as to really give a wow factor. There is everything you could possibly want and more. The restaurant is stunning and the view over the pool and beach is lovely. We would definitely come back and do not understand why people have written bad reviews. Yes the hotel looks dated but it is typical old Spainish colours. The bedrooms are massive, the bathroom has a fabulous large bath and separate shower and the hotel provide toothbrushes and paste, shower caps, combs a sponge and even a razor and shaving foam which are excellent quality. The hand wash and moisturisers are all by Ritual and are lovely. Everything is thought about. The biggest selling point is the cleanliness, the hotel is spotless and the cleaners do an amazing job. The only problem we encountered was the guests, running to be first to get a sun beds at 8.30 am. It is embarrassing really. There are plenty of sun beds so no need for any of it. They line up waiting for the doors to open then literally run for the beds then leave there towels and go. Very annoying.

Nigel B

We had never been to the hotel or Torremillinos before, and this was an unplanned, quick few nights abroad. We were absolutely delighted with everything about it, and by the end of the first day, we had said we would definitely return, something we have never said about anywhere. Many people have criticised the rooms, and we can only speak for hours. The decor was quite dark but very Andalusian and Moroccan in many ways. We loved it. Our view was not great, but that didn't bother us because we were never there. The over-bath shower was more than big enough and was fitted as opposed to being loose, with the bath being the primary function. It also had a fixed wall handle, which is highly unusual and a welcome addition at outreach. The toiletries provided above the basin and bath were excellent. Room service was excellent and the rooms were thoroughly cleaned and remade daily. We were right opposite the lift on the first floor and wondered if we would have any noise or interruption, but there was virtually nothing. The food was lovely and made even better by chefs at the hot counter cooking at least part of the meal for each patron and each portion. I have seen bigger selections, though that is not a criticism. There was more than enough variety and quantity, and what we had was delicious. The staff were attentive, quick and polite. Although the tables are set up with full white linen and the chairs dressed as if at a wedding or function, don't be put off. It's all very informal and friendly. You can't just show your key at the entry; you'll have to take the paper folder it comes in with the room number on it. Evening entertainment is provided daily except for Monday and Tuesday, and while it was not overly exciting or invigorating, it was perfectly satisfactory. You have to remember that the vast majority of guests are middle-aged or older. The outside or spectacular. Walking through the hotel to the back, you come across a big pool with loungers surrounding it, though not too many that are cramped. Immediately to the side of that is an extensive green grass-effect area with loungers ready to be placed. If you want a little more peace and quiet, it might be better than the pool. If you imagine walking past the pool, beyond it, down a private path, is the public thoroughfare, which in itself leads immediately onto the beach. You can walk quite a distance both left and right. There are shops and eateries. The sand on the beach is very clean. The beach is huge, with more than enough room for, I would imagine, many people. We enjoyed strolling in the evening and sitting on the beach. Don't stay here if you're looking for five stars with every amenity under the sun or a hotel aimed at very young families with a kids club and lots of toys and activities for young children. For anybody else, I'd say go for it. Look past the dark interiors of the rooms and corridors and accept the Andalusian style. We will return in the future.

Gregory Sandles

Room very dated and careworn desperate for brightening up. Beds awful like sleeping on a diving board .. hard and very bouncy. However the hotel is immaculately clean, spotless in fact . A credit to the staff who actually do the hard work ..not the men in suits ! Also the pool area is fantastic , again down to the guys who do the daily hard work out there Would definitely go again but Watch out for those beds :)

Anaïs

Very disappointed with this hotel. The only positive point is the buffet (one of the best I've seen) and the pool. Otherwise, the furniture in the rooms is very old-fashioned. The shower is dysfunctional: if you want a minimum of hot water, the water has to come out of the shower head AND the tap, so the pressure is mediocre. The staff without the restaurant completely ruin the experience, even though the food is good and with plenty of choice. The staff are haughty. They bring us 3 tickets to sign even though we had only ordered 2 bottles of water, and when we explained this, they take us for fools (even though we're not going to pay for 3 bottles if we've ordered 2...). Similarly, when I asked the waiter if he had any other bottles of water that were a little cheaper, he replied “go and drink the sea water”. Me and my family will never come back.

Mike Kaufmann

The worst hotel room in many years. The room had no window and the charms of a prison cell. The bed was so noisy, that every time we moved all neighbors must have been awake. The tv was the size of my mobile phone. The bathroom had a window - but a very small shower when showering everything was wet. The room was so hot, that we had to keep the window open until late at night - this allowed 6 mosquitos to enter the room and keep us awake. I cannot judge breakfast or service- but the room for the price of 135 EUR was a joke and I cannot recommend it.

Robin Brown

I booked Mon to Fri, the Hotel is in a great location, with easy access to a local train station, easy reach of some lovely towns. The pool was spotless and cleaned regularly. We had breakfast each morning, and an amazing selection of fresh food was available. We had lunch at the outside bar, and the food was also excellent. The service from the staff has been excellent. Including the room cleaning service. The only thing I was keen on was the room itself, outdated, but none the less well maintained. I would be happy to stay again in the future had a great relaxing time.

So we picked this hotel all inclusive and it was cheap, we stayed there 4 nights and here’s my thoughts. As someone who works at a hotel I did not see any type of hospitality from the receptionists specifically the one who we checked in with. Usually when the hotel door opens you look at your guests and great them with a smile . The room was just an OK room definitely needed renovation so does the whole hotel. The restaurant has its ups and downs, i think the food was great, there was a lot of different kind of food and I loved that you don’t get the same food everyday so you don’t get tired, I also loved the idea of the chef coming out and making omelettes or frying more chicken... At the restaurant maybe there were only 3 sweet waiters specifically the old lady was so nice and smiling every time I looked at her and she was greeting everyone otherwise the rest looked so angry all the time even when I look and smile and say hola they just don’t care. So the problem with this hotel is the lack of hospitality and it’s a bit too old but that doesn’t mean that I won’t come back again when I have the chance just hopefully they will do something about the receptionists

The room was clean and comfortable but noisier than I expected, sounds were coming especially from the floor and bathroom. Breakfast was good, but coffee and soft drinks from the machine weren’t. The pool area is also nice. Airport and train c-1 station is very close.

Great hotel and location. Easy access to the train line to commute and visit easily. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. Waiter staff were prompt and reset tables during dining. It would have been nice for the pool to open before 11am, but I’m guessing this is due to safety and insurance as they open the pool with a full time life guard daily. Only negative I can genuinely say is I did get a smell from our toilets a couple times which I would put down to sewerage. The cleaners did a fabulous job and came daily to clean your room. We went half board, and although not a mass amount of buffet choice, there is something for everyone. (Not any luxury food. You get what you pay for) I would recommend this hotel for older travelers looking to explore the area and have a dip in the pool and evening drink. This is not a resort hotel, which I why I think people have left negative reviews as they may have thought this is what they had booked. Thanks for our stay and service
