Sol Torremolinos - Don Pablo

Lovely hotel (the pictures on the website doesn’t really do it justice) but the bathrooms in particular are very dated and not user friendly. The terrace has an annoying ledge which is really difficult to see and we all kept on stubbing our toes on it and were worried about our toddler hurting herself. Little improvements that would make a big difference such as having water in the gym. Kids club was good and entertainers very friendly.

An excellent hotel overall which is in a great location. Offers everything a resort should do and the kids loved staying there Staff are friendly and welcoming. Only negative was that there’s want a lot of options for vegetarians at dinner

Clean and large hotel complex, well maintained pool area with bar and restaurant. Definitely more popular with the older and retired crowd but some families too. We went for U.K October half term and it felt a nice steady pace, never crowded. Huge breakfast area with incredible choice!

Upon approaching the area of tormelinos we felt like it was a 1970s condominium massacre of beautiful land. It just wasn't what we expected. Upon entering the hotel complex it was reminiscent of a huge cruise ship, with food, flamenco, exercise classes, many pools and a lot going on. This would be great for families as there was a big game room at the hotel and a putt-putt next door. There were plenty of lawn chairs and shaded area and area restaurants. The beach was wide and the sea was calm. Our partial Sea view was accurate but littered with high-rise condos. The room was spacious, fully amenetized and the service was very good.

Overall we were content with our stay, but we would be likely to try another hotel if we were to return. Likes: Convenient, close to the airport, walkable to beach and restaurants, nice view, decent sized room, kids water play in adjacent Sol Torremolinos hotel, breakfast was good Dislikes: Some rude/miserable staff (although some lovely), difficult to find a sunbed, fiddly pool towel policy, not the cleanest, walkable to beach but the hotel doesn't have their own beach area or access, pools were a bit too cold when in the shade in the afternoons.

Newly refurbished hotel and friendly staff. Found reception to be very slow, especially check-in (too small and not enough staff). Stayed half-board but food was average despite what other reviews say. Meat was dry and overcooked and not really a huge range every day, even though it appears like there is a big choice. Meaning that I've been to better designed dinner buffets and this one was just OK. Location is a bit of a walk to the town centre/station. Not far, but you have to go up hill to the station which is quite an effort (especially with a toddler/pushchair), though there is a lift - but may not always be in service. We used a taxi after the first day (6-7 EUR) to go to/from hotel to the train station.

On arrival we were offered a sunnier roo for an extra charge, but it was worth the money. The room was clean (seems recently refurbished), comfortable bed, plenty of storage space. Some minor issues - the soap dispencer was too high for a child to reach, just impractical; the bathtub was also not very well designed unless you have extra long limbs to reach the shower for example. But these are minor flaws, overall, it was a nice, bright and warm room. Food was delicious, and varied - if you eat meat and fish. The staff were helpful. The only drawback was the swimming pool was outside of the main building, which is OK in the spring/summer but not great when it's cold outside. Overall, we had a very nice stay.
