Amazing value!!
Reading some of the reviews before I went I was apprehensive. However we genuinely had the best 5 night holiday. The location was great for getting the train to the outlets which we’d definitely recommend, to Malaga, Fuengirola and Benalmadena. You could walk around 10 minutes to the beach, there’s a shop just up the road which we were able to buy some snacks and towels from.
The staff were all friendly and the queue at the bar was never very long. You do have to pay a euro deposit for each resuable cup but once you have them you can hang onto them so only have to pay once. The deposit is returned to you when you give back the cups.
The food was basic but enjoyable, everyone may not eat everything but there is something for everyone. The staff who work in the restaurant were great and we were always sat quickly.
The room was clean and nicely decorated. There were quite a few ants around but as long as you keep the room clean and tidy it’s not an issue.
All in all we’d definitely recommend this hotel and will most likely be back, for the price we can’t fault it.
Nice place
Had a lovely time at this hotel, yes they are a lot of Spanish guests, and yes the animations is more for the Spanish speaker, they did try to include both me and my daughter. Food was okay, better that other hotels I have visited, just a bit limited in choice. The pool was nice, it was smallish but it's not a massive hotel and there was plenty of room to enjoy a good swim. There was a problem with ants on floor 6 which is the reason it's 4 out of 5, but we were moved quick enough and the flys around the pool were annoying, not swarms of them but the few that were there just didn't leave us alone, but this is not the hotels fault Location is fantastic, 2 train stops from the airport and 2 train stops from torremolinos. If I were to venture to Torremolinos again I would definitely stay here again.

BRITISH people probably wont enjoy !!
IF YOUR BRITISH YOU WILL NOT ENJOY !! firstly the spainish go to this hotel and dont like BRITISH people one bit we had doors slammed in out faces horrible looks just so much rudeness! The entertainment team speak in Spanish and only Spanish are invited to do activities! You have to pay for a cup on our last day it was awful and flights was cancelled we lost our cups and tried to get more as staff must have tidied them away we had paid all inclusive bar staff wouldn't give us more cups !! Ants all in 6th floor bed room in the beds the lot . Food is for Spanish and i know we're in spain but its very much the same every night. Air-conditioning very loud and does nothing.
Take your ear plugs if you want to sunbathe
An honest and open review as I always do. Good points…. The rooms were cleaned and towels changed daily, the staff were absolutely fantastic always smiling and helpful, there we not a mad rush for dinners in a morning, the pool was lovely and just the right temperature, getting into town was simple with the train station just behind the hotel, the food was more than adequate (and I’m a picky eater) The only real issues we had was a couple of times, we had an outbreak of ants in the room and other guests of a certain nationality were incredibly rude. Not wanting to queue and pushing in front, but one of my main gripes was the amount of holiday makers by the pool or surrounding areas with their phones on loud listening to what I can only assume was Spanish tik tok. I spent a fair amount of money to relax and put my feet up, I don’t want to hear other peoples music or videos playing while I am trying to enjoy our holiday. I personally would ban any guest from using their phones without headphones. My final moan was that the entertainment was predominantly aimed for the Spanish guests (in my opinion there was at least 80% Spanish holiday makers) and not once were we asked if we would like to join in with anything. So to be fair, the hotel was fantastic in itself, but there were very few people for my wife and I to socialise with as I can’t speak Spanish.

Above expectationse
Was a little apprehensive before arrival having read all the negative reviews on the old TripAdvisor review page that has many reviews from the hotel under its previous name.
The hotel had a huge refurb during its rebranding and I couldn't fault it for cleanliness, service and facilities.
We stayed on an AI package and had ample choice during all meal times. There's also the usual drinks service within the restaurant, where you can help yourself to soft drinks, fruit juices, water, wine, tea & coffee. Meal choices varied and there was always something tasty to eat.
Hotel is in a residential area, therefore the bar closes around 11pm. The area surrounding the hotel also closes down early in the evening.
Transport from airport to hotel cost approx. €10 in a private taxi.
