  Not 4 stars Maybe 2 plus

  11 Oct 2026

  This is not a 4 star hotel Good points are the staff and the food is above average although we only breakfast and 4 dinnersYou arrive and have to rent a plastic cup for a euro. This will become you vessel for all drinks from the outside bar ( it says for safety although they sell bottles of Coca Cola ). The only bar for drinks is down a flight of steps with no handrails with only the top of the glass sides for support.( we watched lots of people hesitate on these steps) not good if your are unsteady on your feet Smoking and vaping are allowed everywhere so if you want to have a drink without sitting near a cloud of smoke you will find it hard to get a table. Towel wars start at 745am when all the beds get taken up quickly . The snacks are soggy pizza and cold burgers and sausages The rooms are basic and the towels supplied are poor and small ( my pot towels are better quality ) Our shower gel was empty when we arrived so we bought our own. For some reason they have entertainment in a room near reception but the bar upstairs isn’t open and you have to negotiate the dodgy steps outside to get a drink in your plastic cup. The beds are mattresses on a sort of camp bed style frame All in all very disappointing

  Hit and miss.

  Where to start with this one. Just back from a 5 day break. Day one started badly with a delay so arrived late and probably grumpy. Booked a gold comfort room so high expectations. When we got to the room. The power slot was broken and non of the extras were in place. This was sorted quickly. The room was however clean and comfortable. Went to restaurant for lunch. It was at the end of the session so nothing left and all cold. Collected our plastic glass token and headed to the bar. By this time it was bouncing down with rain. So down the wet slippy steps to a relatively small outside bar for drinks. The all inc drinks offer was ok to be fair. The spirits at least were full strength and the beer was San Miguel.Evening meal was nothing special. The hot food was lukewarm. Theres a main bar and decent sized entertainment room upstairs. Its bar was closed for the duration. The entertainment was in there if the weather was bad. After a good night sleep and change of attitude the whole place started to improve. Breakfast was good and subsequent meals after where also decent. Plenty of choice. The show cooking fayre was varied and enjoyable. Mostly pork or fish but thats the usual thing anyway. On the whole the food was good other than a bit luke warm at times.The staff were friendly and helpful. Didnt really see much of the entertainment. Went out most nights.The pool area was poor. Sunbeds on the grass and mud. Not good. Location wise its at the quiet end of torremolinos. Very close to the beach and about 15 mins to the bars on the front. There are closer ones if you go down the back streets.Would i go back, probably not. Its does somethings well but lets it self down with other things. End the plastic cup debacle. Im all for recyling but it has a time and placeSort out keeping the food hot. Open the inside bar at nightsThe outdoor area needs a re think. Not ideal for sunbathing. Totally useless after rain. Sunbeds are dirty which is from the muddy grassed area.

  Not good

  08 Oct 2026

  Nearly changed hotels after reading reviews....Wish I did!!!...So many rules, even with the hairdryer!! (5 minutes max)...no kettle in bedrooms, no english tea at breakfast, no taking your coffee on the terrace...Have to pay 1 euro for a plastic beaker to get your drink (refundable)...If you miss breakfast (they are very quick on emptying the restaurant) when then you can't get a drink for 1 hour....a blonde lady serving very rude, staff not helpful...Pool area very grubby...do not use ladders out of pool, as they are very unsturdy..Entertainment rubbish..Spanish dancers were OK, but we're dancing in the dark, no lighting on them....Lovely location, comfortable bed and I think that's it!!!..Oh, and only ate in restaurant twice, as food not good, soup tasty, but cold....This hotel is a 2 star at its best...Sorry Parasol, but you need a lot of improvements....would I stay here again...No....

  Shocking

  07 Oct 2026

  I'm 1 of the most in fussy people you will ever meet and I make any bad situation into a good 1 but I can't even work my magic with this hotel I'mCurrently still here with 5 days left and I'm looking to book elsewhere I've had 1 meal and that's it won't even touch the food here whoever is in charge of employing the chefs need sacking undercooked meat especially chicken and burgers and hot dogs I wouldn't even feed my dog them .The pool is ok to swim in but it's not very big and around the pool is grass and mud so didn't even bother getting a sun bed just sat on a chair to dry off.Bar staff are ok but usually cba to smile or talk to anyone unless you're Spanish the young Nigerian lad from the entertainment team is the funniest person and the most interactive there is he should be manager.Not good for people with bad mobility either.The only good thing about the hotelIs the gate out of it to the beach.
