Sol Torremolinos Don Pedro

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.

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 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.

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.

Its really hard working staff and their so friendly if you want good WiFi you are going to have to sit in reception because it's so bad WiFi in your room it's really good because if you pay for breakfast and dinner when you book you can just go to any of the restaurants will definitely be back here
