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!

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.
