I can’t recommend this Hotel enough, I stayed here for 5 days half board. I’m 28 and alone travelling female, this hotel is very safe. Location could not have been better for the beach and a short but steep walk to the shops. Taxi’s and Buses outside the Hotel. My room was lovely, everything you need, cleaned everyday – no complaints at all. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The food was excellent wide range for Breakfast and Dinner, haven’t eaten that well in years.
The only minor things I found a small problem were, I didn’t go to the pool but it didn’t look very big and the Spa was very expensive, I paid 65 Euros for a Facial and didn’t feel it was value for money.
I would say this Hotel is suited better to older adults than children or teenagers.

Returned last night from this Hotel and have no complaints.
The Hotel is well run and the Staff is very friendly and patient - even with my poor Spanish.
We both thought the food was very good with lots of fish and Spanish dishes. Only issue with the food was the lack of choice in the sweets. Of course the fruit was great but a little variety would have been even better.
We were on the side shaded in the afternoon and given the 28 degree temps and the fact that we walked for hours we were happy about that.
It is about a 45 min walk in to Benalmadena where we found the prices were a lot cheaper than Torremolinos costa.
Fuengerola is about 15-20 mins away by train and a return is only €3.
The 186 steps to the town are energy sapping at first but persevere and they are ok. If you are not able to walk there is a lift at €0.5 or a bus opp the Hotel.
There is, as has been said, free WiFi in every room or 4 internet stations in the Foyer at 20 mins for €1.
The rooms were spotlessly clean and of a reasonable size. There was also a fridge and a free safe.

This is an excellent hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. We needed a taxi three time during our stay. The front desk would call the cab and within two minutes we would have a taxi waiting for us!

The balcony is very relaxing. The balconies all face the beach. It was especially nice at night. We had a great view of the beach and the swimming pool.

The location is outstanding. There is a Pizzeria across the street that is very good. One block away is a grocery store with very good prices. The beach is across the street and beautiful! The bus station is about a ten minute walk. The town center with bountiful shopping is only about a five minute walk. You may want to take the $.50 lift for the shopping district and bus station.

The included breakfast was wonderful. A great selection of breakfast foods and fresh fruits. The dining room was very nice.

The one negative is the miniature elevators. They hold four people maximum in very crowded conditions. If you have luggage you will be luck to get two people in the elevators at the same time. Why in the world did they make them so small???

Overall, you will like this hotel!

We chose this hotel based on the Tripadvisor reports and, generally, were not disappointed. Our room was spacious with adequate storage space and a good-sized balcony. The public rooms were very smart and there were 4 internet stations for public usage, at a reasonable charge. We were on B & B terms, so we did not sample the dinners, but the buffet-style breakfasts were excellent. The choice of foods was very wide, suitable for all reasonable requirements, with as much as you could eat.

The location of the hotel was excellent, right on the front but with little or no traffic noise. As we were on B & B terms, we ate out each (9) night and there is an good choice of reasonably priced restaurants within easy walking distance. The main shopping area, and the bus and train stations, are fairly close to the hotel (perhaps 10 minutes brisk walk) but up a steep public stairway, but there is also an attended lift from the front, which, at 50c per person, is well worth it. (Just watch that the lift is closed from about 6pm)
The hotel has live entertainment every night (usually music for dancing) which continues until about 12.30am. This might be a problem for light sleepers as, with the bar/lounge doors open, the music can be heard by rooms facing the pool (which is about 1/2 the rooms), even with the windows shut. We solved the problem by adopting Spanish hours, staying up late and getting up late, but it was a disturbance on days when we had to get up early.
The other problem was the pool area. It is very small for a hotel of this size, perhaps with space for about 100 loungers. If you are looking for a lazy holiday, especially with small children, you will almost certainly have to hire chairs/ sun brollies from the public beach across the road. Having said that, the beaches were beautifully clean and very tempting. The charge for a chair was about €4 per person per day.
Finally, I would mention that all rooms have a sea view, which was very relaxing. One point to watch however is that about half the rooms are on the 'shaded' side of the hotel and get little or no direct sunshine on their balconies. In the very hot weather we enjoyed, even in October, this was on balance a benefit but might not appeal to everybody, especially given the small pool area.

Not very modern, but very clean and comfortable.Friendly stuff, PERFECT cuisine with HUGE choice of fish and seafood. All rooms with seeview. Free WI-FI in all rooms.
Good location, near Malaga and other attractions. We have hired a car and driven to Sevilla, Granada and Rondo. It took only two hours to get to these places.
I like Spain, perfect country with perfect people.
I think this hotel one of the best to Torremolinos.
Recommend.
