my husband and i went there for christmas 24/12/11 I have always said Spain did not appeal to me this place proved me right i have never met so many igrorant people they dont know the meaning of please thank you or excuse me the hotel is for Spanish old people no one spoke English so if you needed help forget it food was bad we had pork on second night and it was raw inside the resturant at meals times was like a cattle market they dont know how to queue they just push and shove so if your thinking about this hotel take my advise and DONT GO IT'S THE HOTEL FROM HELL

I had mixed feelings after reading reviews about the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were paper thin and you could hear everything in the next room. Breakfast was okay and always crowded. It was a hike to get to the beach, although that is not why I was there (Malaga Centro) It is close to the bus stop that will take you into Malaga Centro. Nothing special. I wouldn't stay here again if I was in Torremolinos.

11:30pm, Saturday night. Picked up our hire car at Malaga airport, and set off driving to Torremolinos (7 miles). There wasn't time to use the SatNav as within minutes we were directed off the motorway in the town, and in the distance, the rooftop neon lights of our hotel came into view!! Although very busy, we managed to get a free parking space right outside the hotel. The place was located in the town centre, rather than at the beach, which is an uncomfortable hilly walk away. Our room was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated, and overlooked the small pool terrace and main street. Went out for a few beers and food of which there was ample to choose from dotted around the town, very close to the hotel. Food at the hotel was fair, although pleniful in choice and quantity. Being predominantly a Spanish tourist hotel, the number of "foreign" guests was minimal. It's important to say that not on one single occasion did I encounter anything but friendly people and staff there. In fact our stay was very very good indeed. Whilst the pool was very small, it wasn't overcrowded. The hotel had a couple of girls employed to run various entertainment projects for guests, both on an evening and in the daytime too. My friend and I were invited to join in adult water polo etc, and thought the girls were great and tried hard.
I'm aware that we British tend to prefer being amongst other fellow countrymen, and if that's your thing, dont stay here. Having said all that, we weren't disturbed once by drunken Brits, nor did I see any confrontation between guests or with staff, in fact the whole experience couldn't have been better.The "hike" to the beach is not good, especially in the heat, but 6euros gets you there in an air-conditioned taxi. We had days at both our beach and in neighbouring resorts (use the underground rail system) and a trip to Gibralter which is only an hour away by car on very good roads. The price was right, food ok, etc - no complaints at all.

food basic and really a hotel geared towards spanish oaps, loose electrical sockets pose a danger so beware and if your a smoker like me, when out the front keep an eye out for the rats, as big as cats
