Property is in great location, and i would stay again. However although I dont mind entertainment and music at the pool and bar area through out the day, i found this to be far too loud. Especially in the bar/dining area.

Many repeat visitors to this hotel . Fantastic location . Bring your own beach towel . Plenty of shops and restaurants close by and reasonably priced snack bar and restaurant at the hotel. Fridge in room and great shower. €12 to hire a kettle for 7 days if needed. Looking forward to our next trip.

Hotel and the people were lovely friendly helpful and very tidy hotel noisy at sometimes with the Roof garden parties which we wasn’t allowed up on the roof while the parties were there which was a shame because I thought we could go up there at any time and they did go onto 1 o’clock in the morning, which I think was a bit late Especially for the people on holiday but wanted to get to bed early so I could get up early to go and see other things, but apart from that, it’s a really lovely hotel

This review is more about how amazing the people at Expedia are, rather than an opinion of the hotel. We have been to Torremolinos at least 10 times, and we knew this hotel (from the outside). We very soon realized that this was not the hotel for us (no need to go into details) and we're willing to forego 4 nights to move to another hotel along the beach. We called Expedia and they negotiated an amazing refund for us (even though we were in a "non-refundable" position). The bottom line is that for an additional $80. 00 we moved 300 ya

Great beachfront hotel at a good price.

I was only there for one night but I would stay again. I loved the balcony with ocean view and rooftop bar with couches and great views. The pool looked nice but I didn’t get a chance to use it. I would book it again for the price.

A very nice and clean Hotel. Breakfast was excellent. I would recommend either a sea view or pool and sea view room, it is worth paying the little extra. Roof Top Bar is also a great advantage to staying at this Hotel. Would definitely stay there again.
