Sol Torremolinos - Don Pablo

First of all it takes 15 to 20 mins to check in to your badly maintained room. (Per room) The bathroom smells of sewage and the lift machinery noise drives you mad with Random heavy base booming sound all day and night. The food never changes each day it always the same bland dull assortment of salad cheeses and meat and the odd vegetable. Being vegan there was nothing apart from Salad and the odd vegetable. Even the dried up pizza they served had meat in it. We won't be back.

Great location on the sea front, lovely relaxed atmosphere around the hotel, room was lovey and spacious, cleaned every day, with fresh towels, food was nice, hubby a fussy eater but sll ways found something to have, very spacious outdoors would be perfect when it's not raining, yes I was their the week of the rain and storms but still had a fab time, staff all friendly and helpful, evening entertainment every night, plus some day time ones too, all in all a lovely week stay and would definitely return to this hotel, 😀 beautiful sunrise from the terrace area pictures added thanks for a great week 😀

check in took a very long time ,no queue, just very slow, also we were given no information about anything at the hotel. poor start. our room on the 4th floor was a nice size with plenty storage and comfy bed, towels and bedding were changed regularly however the floor and especially the balcony never felt like it was cleaned during our stay. wifi in the room regularly dropped off and air con was temperamental. also balcony dividers look nice but are quite open and if you have loud neighbours you know about it ! breakfast and dinner options were ok but the food was often not very hot .and lots of the crockery was chipped /not clean. staff we encountered were very pleasant and hard working hotels pedro and marco were both closed so we could not access the facilities they may offer. just some simple and easily rectifiable moans about our stay but it wouldn,t put us off from a return visit now we now what to expect.

Another fantastic holiday at the Hotel Don Pablo. From booking through to arriving we had marvellous service and the warmest welcome. The Reception Manager couldn't do enough and really matched our request to a super room. The hotel is well located on the sea front set amidst beautiful garden areas. It is spotless throughout all areas. The Reception team and Guest Relations are very caring and added to our lovely stay. The bar and restaurant staff are hard working and welcoming. The entertainment is varied and of a high quality. The in Joyce animation team work hard. The restaurant serves a variety of delicious meals and of a high standard. Our room was spotless and serviced daily and immaculate. All the staff within all areas of the hotel offer the warmest of greetings. We look forward to returning again next year and thank all the team at the Sol Don Pablo. Would highly recommend Mr and Mrs Hodson

A second visit to the fabulous Sol Torremolinos Don Pablo! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Everyone works efficiently but at the same time creates a relaxed atmosphere. The builing is immaculate inside and out and there is a huge choice of food at every meal. Each member of the team is professional, friendly, helpful and kind and although too many names to remember, a mention goes to Lidia in the bar/terrace bar and Alicia in the dining room for their special care. A huge thank you to everyone. We hope to return soon. I connot imagine how anyone has cause for a negative vomment.

This is our 5th stay at the Don Pablo and im sad to say its our last. We are here at the moment, leaving on 06/02. In july 2025 we were disappointed to be overlooking building works going on. The work guys were so close i could have handed them a cup of tea from our balcony. Anyway,despite this ,we decided to book again for our current stay and about a month ago i emailed the hotel to politely request that this time we would appreciate a nice room with a decent view as our last stay was such a disappointment. When we arrived on 30/01, we were upset to be put in a room on the second floor which overlooks a carpark, shipping container and a pile of rubbish. We went to reception but were told the hotel is full ( in january...really?) But he offered us a room on the top floor which would cost us alot of extra money which we declined. We feel very let down by the hotel as we are returning guests and feel they will gradually lose business if they don't take care of their regular visitors. There are plenty of other hotels in the area to choose from. They didn't even have the courtesy to reply to my email requesting a nicer room. Not good business practise. Its a shame because everything else about the hotel ticks all our boxes. I would just like to add that for the sake of children and teenagers especially, the hotel should have a games room. Theres an outdoor and indoor pool but very little else for youngsters to enjoy.

We have vacationed at the Don Pedro & Don Marco hotels the past two years. Going back again in February 2026. Hotel(s) centrally situated: close to pubs, restaurants, small town center with a variety of shops- for all budgets. Train & buses are a short walk from the hotel. There's a beautiful long boardwalk that runs into Benalmedena for those who are adventurous (10km one way). Staff is amazing, friendly and professional. I booked tours and excursions with the front desk and was always very impressed and satisfied with their recommendations. Food in the hotel restaurant is always fresh, tasty and the menu, variety is delicious. Beds, rooms,pools... common areas are well maintained, clean and beautifully kept. I have never been disappointed with any of my stays and everyone I have recommended the hotel to have been very satisfied.

Just got back from a few weeks stay at the Don Pablo , We had a front corner sea view room that was great , The hotel ticks all the boxes Modern ,clean .great entertainment , good food good location ,All the staff are friendly and helpful special thanks to Claudia always has a big smile ,Will be booking again soon no doubt .

Staying at the moment as this was a gift from my partner as part of my 60th birthday trip. Only 2 nights but realy disappointed as he requested a high floor ( Seaview wasn't a requirement). On check in we were given 1240 2nd floor not only that it looked over car park, dumping ground and at 8.30 woken buy around 20 motor bikes reving up. Room is bacic bathroom black mould in places, toilet seat not fitted correctly and bath has been painted. Restaurants food ok but clean up tables needs improving. Pool is good that's why you get 2 stars. I will be glad go tomorrow. Note we were given option for high Seaview with a cost of 100e a night which is a disgrace. In future I don't think I will use a Melia hotel.

We have stayed in Torremolinos several times in the winter but it was the first time at this hotel We were very pleased with the experience Easy check in after a short taxi ride from Malaga airport. Pleasant staff wherever we went in the hotel. It was clean and well kept. In fact it was so clean we watched someone vacuuming the decorative pebbles in a floral display. I am a disabled traveller and the hotel was easy to navigate using sticks and the corridors and doors are wide We had a superior side view on the ninth floor overlooking the bowling greens as requested. We enjoy sitting on the balcony late afternoon and the sea view was lovely. We were supplied with beach towels and a kettle. Tea, coffee and milk were replaced daily. Bottles of water are available at the bar Comfy beds with a sheet, quilt and another sheet on top. Responsive heating so we were able to adjust the room to our liking. Shower was large with a rainfall shower head and a hand held shower too. There was a large sliding glass door that was opaque on the bathroom door. Unlike other places we have stayed this door closed snuggly and couldn’t be seen through. Even after 44 years of marriage we still like some privacy. There is a motion sensitive light in the bathroom which made middle of the night bathroom visits very easy as we didn’t have to put the main lights on and disturb each other The large dining room was busy as there were some conferences taking place but we never waited for a table and although they seemed a little short staffed we didn’t wait long for a drink Food service was quick with show cooking stations for fish and meat or eggs/omelettes I had steak several times and it was tender, tasty and not overcooked. The desserts were not to my taste but that was ok as I prefer fruit and cheese of which there was plenty We were all inclusive and the drinks were branded names and cocktails were hand mixed and not out of a carton There was entertainment every night which we enjoyed apart from the loudness. Flamenco, Salso metro and the Il Divo tribute were much too loud. Estrella, Tony Lavazzo and Sweet Carmin (how does she have so much energy?) were much more enjoyable. There is plenty of seating in the lounge area and further areas for card playing, tv sports and just a read. Obviously it was too cold to use the outside pools but you could if you wished and a lifeguard was present. There is an indoor pool which is located near to the outdoor pool. We did think an internal entrance to it would make it easier to access. There is a reasonable sized gym, spa and hairdressers. Mobility scooters can be rented through reception The location of the hotel is great. Seafront views and only a five minute walk to the Bajondillo lift to the town centre We will definitely stay here again as it was relaxing but didn’t have the empty winter feel some hotels can have in January We also enjoyed the mix of nationalities. The majority of which were European with some North American and Asian guests. Everyone tried their hardest to be polite and respectful of each other and converse with a smile.
