After I had booked a week in this hotel I read some bad reviews but I tend not to pay a lot of attention to them as I have found in the past they can be very inaccurate and having dealt with the public myself for over 20 years I know that some people are determined that when they go on holiday they aren't going to enjoy themselves and are just there to complain about anything and everything.
However, when I got to the hotel I soon realised that in this case the reviews were justified. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and the room was very nice and had a great view of Malaga and the coastline. The reception staff all looked as if they were sucking lemons and were not in the least bit friendly. I had booked full board but when I saw the food I wished I hadn't booked into that hotel at all. The food was disgusting and monotonous to say the least. Any meat or fish was very tough and dry, chips were either soggy with fat or hard and crispy, salads were not fresh and actually gave me diarhoea, puddings were either watery rice pudding or watery custard or tiny little cream cakes. I ended up eating out which I hadn't budgeted for and I couldn't wait to get back home for some decent food. I normally rent a flat when in Torremolinos and the next time I go over in July that is exactly what I'll be doing. If I ever have to stay at a hotel in Torremolinos again it definately won't be this one.

This hotel is first class,staff are so welcoming and so polite.
The rooms are very clean and spacious, and the location is spot on. We were all inclusive in December.
But the best part of the Cervantes is the food, one word beautifully.Book this hotel you wont regret it trust me.We had a fantastic time, and no doubt will be back in the near future.
Keep up the good work CERVANTES.

We have just returned from a short break of 4 days. It was OK but only for a short break. If we had been staying longer it would have drove me mad. The only bar open constintly had Football playing..Yes I know a lot of people do like that and I'm not knocking it....but some people dont, espaically women. So it would have been nive to be able to site in the nice elaxing bar area even if the bar wasn't open but it was corned off. When we first arrive this was open for a private party then shut for the rest of the time. The food was typical all inclusive fare whihc was Ok'ish but I was unable to eat the freshly cooked meat as it was bring cooked on the same gridle as the fish and fish makes me ill. Beds were very hard. All in all Ok for a short break but not a place I woukd like to spend my main holiday. If you want a cheap transfer it's righ next to the train station, which I ndidn't knoiw until we were coming home so thats handy.

Just retuned from a short break 9th - 11th February at this hotel. We stayed A.I and were not disappointed from the outset. Easy check-in,wrist band given straight away, hotel overall was very clean, staff very helpful with any queries you may have, because of the time of year all facilities were not open,so can't comment on those. the pool's were both clean, the restaurant was very good with choices to suit most peoples' tastes for all sittings. One big drawback though is the food is seldom hot..........tepid - lukewarm at best. Rooms are spacious with safe (charged for) chiller cabinet, T.V only get BBC world news, beds firm and hard, balcony you can swing two cats.... Central location is ideal and transfers by train from the Airport easy peasy. A.I was very popular judging by the wristbands on view and very good value if that's your thing. All in all very welcome break with the sun to boot.

Willlllllllllllllll return..............
