Hotels with Bars in Costa del Sol Occidental

This hotel is punching above its weight and winning. The staff are all really friendly and really take pride in making sure your stay goes well. While on holiday I had a problem with my suitcase not wanting to unlock (likely due to being thrown about in the plane). The staff helped me and found a solution to get inside by cutting the tags and smoothing them off to avoid injury. Without which I'd have had no clothes for the trip. While in Spain we had the national power outage which was totally beyond anyone's control. The staff handled this the best they possibly could. Allowing us to gather water from the pool to aid with flushing toilets, which were affected by the power outage. Providing us with candles and matches. As well as the rooms having a torch inside. When the power came back on, they organised a get-together with complimentary drinks and nibbles to thank us for our patience. This was a lovely touch even though this wasn't the hotels fault. The room I stayed in had recently been renovated and I was so impressed by the new design and choices that had been made. The resort was kept clean all the time by the fantastic cleaning team who were always doing something. All members of staff were friendly and were on board with the hotels pledge to reduce its environmental impact. The hotel doesn't have dedicated parking but on street free parking is so easy to find between the hotel and the park that this isn't an issue. The location is minutes away from the seafront and a selection of places to get breakfast and other meals. I've been to this hotel before, but I've seen a real improvement this year in how Sahara Sunset is being ran. I look forward to seeing how they continue to develop.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tarik. Hotel’s design is charming, especially the corridor leading to the room that adds a touch of elegance and character to the overall atmosphere. We stayed in a patio room with a terrace which gives us adequate space for relaxing. Guests do not need to hire sun bathing chairs at the beach as the upper terrace of the swimming pool provides these facilities facing directly to the Mediterranean Ocean. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options to start the day. Beer served at the swimming pool is good but cocktails is not the recipe we get used to and could be better. Amenities can be improved by putting a small fridge in the room and providing foam bath in addition to soap. Every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and pleasant experience throughout our stay. Need to mention Barbara at the front desk who was incredibly helpful and went beyond to assist with anything we needed Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-run hotel in Torremolinos!

The staff were incredibly attentive. The apartment was spotless and had every amenity imaginable. The grounds were meticulously maintained and offered all kinds of entertainment.

We had a wonderful time and loved the experience and it was a great place to stay with a family. The staff were very helpful. Rooms were great, neat and clean. Pool was amazing.

Good location on ocean front, bills itself as four star but cheaps out on stupid stuff. They charge for ice in your room. They charge 1 euro for a pool towel. Stupid stuff like that. Felt like I was at a very low end place. It's like yep we have a room but if you want towels or bedlinens we will have to charge you extra!!! NO I SHOULD BE INCLUDED!!

Went for a holiday and happy with the stay. The hotel is located in a nice area, with clean room and facilities. Plenty of space to relax during the day,  Local area is convenient, with Carrefour in walking distance and a lot of restaurants. Though the restaurants near the beach are overrated and I would not recommend. Food in the hotel was good, with great value and flexibility. I could just turn up for a dinner and pay at the entrance without any prior booking or notice. I liked it. Parking was very easy - just navigate to the hotel and you will see the entrance at the front door of the hotel. There is no way you would miss it. It cost 10 EUR a day. However, do prepare for the mosquitos as there are plenty. I had to buy repellent and sprays in Carrefour to deal with the issue. And we had to shut the balcony during the dawn and night and decided not to use the balcony. The hotel should provide the basic facility for the mosquitos repellent, such as an electric repellent heater. 

The most bare hotel I have been to. Kettles need to be rented for a charge + deposit. There are no cups or cutlery in the room. Mini fridge is empty. I think I can understand why the hotel went for such measures given the crowd that is staying there - too many wild screaming Britons. Breakfast tables have nothing but a cloth. Lounge chairs are bare plastic making them very uncomfortable to use. Most of the chairs are in fact not available for use because guests dump their towels to reserve them and then not show up for hours. Staff allow this behaviour. The loud entertainment went on till 23:30 (accompanied by partying guests next door) so if you want to sleep any time before that - forget it, it's like trying to sleep inside a night club. Beach towels are not provided, bathroom towels cannot be taken out so if you didn't bring your own - tough. It is a beach property but the beach is private and hotel guests do not get any discounts. The shower was hot and had good pressure but there was hair left in the drain. Beds seemed good at first but I woke up with back pain. Went up to take a look at the roof terrace which looked lovely but we didn't stay for a drink. All in all the hotel was not for us and certainly would not recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing place.

A lovely boutique hotel (adult only) at a great location. Can't ask for a better location.... very quiet as it's on a side road and very close to the train and bus station. Lovely swimming pool on top floor where excellent breakfast was served. Friendly and polite staff. Great value for money too. Has already recommended to friends coming to Málaga.

The accommodation environment is okay, so it is decent. But the buffet, the night performances in the lobby, and the various sofas and chairs in the swimming pool at the back are very good for sunbathing. Overall, this hotel is awesome and cost-effective. (Why write a review? Just to help everyone understand the situation, because I feel that online reviews help me travel less than stepping on too many holes, help each other.)

I’m usually staying at Ritual hotel when in Torremolinos and always had a great experience… No this time when I didn’t see staff members at the reception being more flexible in order to satisfy customers request and experience. When I made the reservation, specifying a strong preference for a room not located to the ground floor, upon arrival and check-in I was informed but the front desk that my assigned room was on the ground floor, directly contradicting the preference I had clearly stated in the booking notes. I immediately raised the issue to the hotel staff reminding them of my prior request and I was told that the hotel was fully booked and not other rooms were available. I strongly believe that my request could have been accommodated if they would have taken in consideration my enquiry during the room assessment … the clearly didn’t have mindset of customer centricity which was very disappointing.
