Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers excellent rooms with superb views and comfortable beds. However, it would be better if the lounge room had the same amenities, especially for families with children. Despite the slight disappointment of a camp bed for one child, the early check-in was convenient. The room was a bit too hot and lacked the option of adjusting the temperature.
The hotel is kept very clean and located in the newest extension block. The rooms were outdated with the air conditioning dripping water continuously, though we reported the issue, we were told not to worry about it. The electric appliances and water facilities were not in good condition. However, the service throughout the hotel was wonderful and friendly. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, with walking distance to shops, pharmacy, bars, restaurants, and Marina. The dining experience offered excellent quality and variety, but there were some inconveniences with room allocation and noise. As for facilities, they were suitable for basic needs.
The hotel is ideally located right on the promenade and a stone's throw from the beach in Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol. The rooms, while spacious and equipped with nice extras like bathrobe and slippers, lacked proper cleanliness with dust and stray hairs. The service was hit or miss, with staff being friendly if prompted but sometimes lacking in communication. The dining experience, although offering a variety of options, fell short in quality and sometimes left guests wanting more. The hotel's facilities were well-kept, particularly the recently redecorated lobby, providing a pleasant atmosphere overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean with some thoughtful touches like free initial drinks and a bottle of wine. However, the initial cleanliness was subpar with dust and hair present, and the service lacked attention to detail and promptness. The location was ideal for beach access but dining issues and service hiccups left a bit of a sour taste.
The hotel offers a large room with the most comfortable bed ever, along with some areas needing updating, especially the bathrooms. The experience with the service was mixed, with excellent staff and a minor issue with seating arrangements during dining times. The location is perfect with access to the boulevard and close proximity to various attractions in Costa del Sol. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with adequate choices but lukewarm food at times. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and kept clean, living up to its spacious designation. The bathroom was also spacious. The service was exceptional, with many long-standing staff members, especially Vanessa, Gomez, and Miguel, going above and beyond to assist. The hotel's location was brilliant, offering easy access to the beach and perfect walking routes to La Carihuela and Benalmadena. The dining options were varied and tasty, catering to different preferences. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
