  Highly recommended, extremely clean hotel

  23 Sept 2026

  Really liked this hotel. We got an amazing deal, paying very little for our 2 night stay with breakfast. The hotel reception and bar smell gorgeous, like coconut fragrance. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The pool is small but perfect for the small number of rooms. The pool is salt water, heated by the sun. The jacuzzi is FREEZING cold, as its in the shade all day and isnt heated. Pleanty of loungers with clean thick cushions on. The bar sells chocolate, crisps and other snacks, prices are fair. Lounger towels are large and thick and can be hired for a fully returnable deposit, making them free. I removed a star due to the breakfast being a little disappointing. Food is warm, not hot. Cooked breakfast is a small disappointing choice. The toaster was great, huge and fast. Juice is made from concentrate not fresh, but it was ok. Loads of cereal. The restaurant has uk branded ketchup, and a good selection of butter and bread, which was lovely and fresh. Hotel decor is modern and very nice, room towels were fresh, very clean, replaced daily. There was shampoo/ shower gel and soap in our room. The hotel has several lovely outdoor seating terraces with lovely furnishings. Toilets in shared areas very clean. The waterfall in the pool only switches on for 10 min every hour or more. One negative: Although the hotel details advertise coffee making facilities in rooms, and rooms have a nice coffee making machine, the hotel refuse to give out more than one coffee pod per person per 24 hours. Because theres no kettle and you cant purchase the pods, this means theres actually only facilities once every 24 hours in your room, but the bar sell coffee, and theres a fantastic coffee machibe in the breakfast dining room. The dining room is small but extremely clean. Overall I would recommend this hotel, we had a lovely stay. Probably the cleanest hotel ive stayed in. Staff were lovely. Recommendations for the hotel:? Provide 2 coffee pods per person per day.? Extend your hot food breakfast selection. ? Increase from 5 clothes hangers to 10 per room Hotel Manager, Owner at BLUESEA Alboran Adults Only, responded to this review Dear Sgk,We appreciate your candid feedback; thank you.We are delighted that you found our hotel to be the cleanest you have ever stayed in and that you appreciated the value for money of your booking. Your praise for the modern decor, the fresh room towels, and the spotless shared areas means a great deal to our housekeeping team, who take real pride in their work.It is also wonderful that our staff made you feel so welcome and that you enjoyed the pool area, the comfortable loungers, and the thick towels available for hire. We are glad the bar snacks, fair prices, and the pleasant coconut fragrance in the reception and bar added to your experience. The lovely outdoor terraces are something we are proud of, so knowing you relaxed there is rewarding for us.Even so, we are sorry that a few aspects of your stay fell short of your expectations. We regret that the breakfast selection and the temperature of certain items did not fully please you, and we have taken note of your comments regarding the coffee pod availability and the number of hangers in your room.

  Excellent place to stay

  10 Sept 2026

  Just back from a lovely Mon-Fri at the hotel.Absolutely lovely staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Rodrigo and Belen, who kindly put up with my attempts to speak Spanish with them (as well as sorting me out with extra pillows and making amazing piña coladas). The room was clean, tidy and in a good state of repair. Small, but big enough for us. First time staying in a boutique-style, adults only hotel. Pool is small, but a great temperature (the size isn’t an issue when you aren’t dodging inflatables or pool noodles!). I’ve seen a few reviews that mentioned having to chase the sun around the pool area throughout the day, but I see that as a feature rather than a bug - you could always get the right balance of sun and shade. Hotel Manager, Owner at BLUESEA Alboran Adults Only, responded to this review Dear Peter,Thank you for positively reviewing your visit.We are delighted that you found our staff so lovely and helpful during your stay.It is wonderful to hear that Rodrigo and Belen made such a positive impression, happily chatting with you in Spanish while keeping those piña coladas flowing and making sure you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We are also glad you appreciated your room, finding it clean, well maintained and perfectly sized for your needs.Your take on the pool area really captures the spirit of an adults-only escape, and we love that you saw the shifting sun as a way to enjoy both warmth and shade at your own pace.We would love to welcome you back on many more occasions. Best wishes,BLUESEA Alborán

  Is ok for a base to sleep

  30 Aug 2026

  Stayed at this hotel for a week, rooms were basic and clean enough, Location was good, staff were pleasant, only went to the pool once as very small area and no atmosphere or music, never had breakfast so cannot comment we ended up going to the beach everyday. There is a roof top terrace on floor 4 but again very quite and cameras watching you.We stayed at the Carmen Teressa hotel last year only the next street up and would 100% recommend this instead. Hotel Manager, Owner at BLUESEA Alboran Adults Only, responded to this review Dear Lynne,Thank you very much for your feedback.We are pleased that you found your room clean and well-appointed for your week-long stay, and that our team made a pleasant impression on you.However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Our outdoor pool on the ground floor is indeed compact, though we also offer a rooftop terrace designed for quiet relaxation, and the CCTV you noticed is in place purely for the safety of our guests. We understand the preference for a livelier atmosphere can vary, and we regret that our setting did not suit yours on this occasion. The value and quality you perceived also fell short, and we take that feedback to heart.Nonetheless, our location just steps from La Carihuela Beach and the promenade is something we are proud of, and it is wonderful that you made the most of the beach each day.We look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion in the future.Kind regards,BLUESEA Alborán

  Good location in Torremolinos

  30 Aug 2026

  Although officially rated as a 4-star hotel, I would personally consider it to be more of an average 3-star hotel.The hotel is in a good location, just a few minutes’ walk from Carihuela Beach in Torremolinos. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful, including when we needed assistance arranging a rental car.There is a great selection of restaurants, cafés and shops in the surrounding area, and the neighbourhood is lively and enjoyable, making it a pleasant place to stay.The hotel has a decent swimming pool and sunbathing area. The breakfast was perfectly adequate, although nothing particularly special.The rooms were simple and reasonably clean, but the furniture and facilities are beginning to show their age and would benefit from renovation.Overall, this is a decent hotel in a good location in Torremolinos, particularly if you want to be close to Carihuela Beach and the lively atmosphere of the area. Hotel Manager, Owner at BLUESEA Alboran Adults Only, responded to this review Dear Hallur,Thank you for your valuable feedback.We are delighted that our location, just steps from La Carihuela Beach, allowed you to make the most of Torremolinos and its lively atmosphere.We are also pleased that our team's attentive and helpful manner, especially when arranging your car rental, left a favourable impression. It is rewarding to know you found the pool area pleasant and the buffet breakfast an adequate start to your day.However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay fell short of your expectations. We take note of your observations regarding the room furnishings and will keep them in mind as we continue maintaining the property.Nonetheless, we are glad you appreciated the vibrant neighbourhood, with its broad choice of restaurants and cafés just outside our doors. Our location, near the promenade and surrounded by the charm of the area, remains one of the highlights our guests value most.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience.Kind regards,BLUESEA Alborán
