Sol Torremolinos - Don Pablo

Overall an excellent experience. The 4 stars rather than 5 is because some of our party stayed in a room overlooking the road at front of hotel and found it noisy (traffic) and the door fitted poorly so there was light disturbance. Other than that, it was an excellent hotel and I would give it 5. We visited in January so the hotel was very quiet. It's spotlessly clean. The breakfast buffet was extensive, high quality, and the best I've experienced in any hotel. The surroundings were very pleasant - light and airy with lovely views, and a wide range of communal spaces to suit everyone. Whenever we needed a rest or relaxation space it was available, with plenty of variety to keep it interesting and different options depending on weather. The terraces have a lovely sea view, you can watch the sunrise over the sea from the terrace. The seafront is right outside the hotel, accessible via the hotel gardens. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and found this hotel excellent with disability. Corridors are very wide so it's easy to get around (even if there's a housekeeping trolley in the corridor). There are no internal doors. Ramps and lifts (elevators) are available and the lift was of suitable size for a wheelchair. Terraces are level access or served by ramps. I think there was a chair lift in the indoor pool but not certain. Not sure about the outdoor pools. Reception can arrange hire of a mobility scooter, minimum hire period was 3 days. Bar Ingles was a pleasant space with nice decor and a range of seating. There was a great range of entertainment and activities - something for everyone. I was in a side room overlooking the pool and was not disturbed by the bar noise even when a singer was performing. This is a hotel where you can be in the heart of the entertainment and socialising, or find quiet communal spaces to enjoy undisturbed. We loved it and hope to return.

Just back from a lovely 9 stay at this lovely hotel. Recently renovated , very clean hotel . We were on half board , was quoted 33 pp per night to change to all inclusive. Kind of glad we didnt as i found the food very bland. Id recommend just going bed amd breakfast . Its great that there is an indoor pool in sister hotel, but again not that big . All staff were amazing and enjoyed our selfs , again only fault was the food. I wont rule this hotel out as id like to visit again in summer. Over all a good experiance

Great check in and a great room upgrade. All down hill after this. The service around the hotel is awful. The bar and restaurant are very badly managed and understaffed. The worst experience was dinner, extremely rude waitress or server, don't want to offend the title. Alicia was one of the worst staff I've ever encountered in a Sol hotel . Alicia was rude, unhelpful and frankly aggressive. The food was dreadful, dry curled up meat, limp looking salad, etc. Tables were left uncleared for long periods with parts of the restaurant cordoned off for no reason, appalling. Long queues at the bar, understaffed again.

We are here at present and what can I say the staff are very friendly and helpful professional we here for my partner 60th and what a lovely suprise they put a bottle of sparkling wine in our room with a lovely card we will definitely be returning to the hotel good excellent. Thank you for the fabulous welcome room fab views fab

Thank you for a lovely Christmas stay. We had a lovely welcome and room with a slight view of the sea which was very clean and spacious. A great shower facility in bathroom. We were all inclusive and the dining experience was excellent. Very friendly professional staff to welcome and set up/ clear. It was lovely and near the promenade and shops/ bars etc. The entertainment provided was fairly limited during day and evening but my husband joined in a couple of activities. The indoor pool was good to try out but as weather was cool/ rain there were a lot of swimmers interested. Christmas dinner buffet was busy but did enjoy the singer and had great fun dancing after the light lunch. Noted a few stressed grumpy staff - staff who served eggs at breakfast - need some more customer care training. Queues at reception were challenging during the period as checking in and out but most of receptionists proved very professional. Thank you to all!

We stayed stay the Sol Don Pablo for 7 nights over Christmas, booking directly with the hotel taking advantage of the Black Friday sale. This was the 2nd visit to this hotel, after having such a wonderful experience in October it was chosen for our Christmas getaway, which did not disappoint. After making the booking I emailed the hotel to request the room I had previously Or as near as possible, which when we checked in we had the room next door (1804) which was even better than the previous room, purely because we could lay in bed and see the ocean. We arrived Christmas Eve at 1pm, and were about to get in to our room immediately which was a great bonus. Check in was very fast and smooth, and very attentive very welcoming staff. This time we had opted for the all inclusive accommodation. This was a great decision, the drinks included were branded such as Smirnoff vodka, Bailey’s, Gordon’s, Cruzcampo, just to name a few. Food offerings in the Buffet changed daily, with different meats and fish every day, as well as pizza, burgers, different soups. We were very pleased with all the food, and considering how busy the hotel was there was plenty on offer and never had to queue. Outside buffet times food is available to order at Bar Ingles, we did this a couple of times and the food was delicious. Bar Jerez can be used at the Don Pedro hotel, which is just across the courtyard, we found this bar to be slightly quieter than Bar Ingles, and cooler too. There is entertainment at both bars each night, details of this is very easily accessible on the app. All the staff are an absolute credit to this hotel, they work so hard and go above and beyond, The guest service is first class: The whole team is attentive, friendly and always eager to fulfill every wish. Whether at the reception, in the restaurant or in housekeeping – everywhere you meet genuine warmth and professionalism. This is the only hotel I will now stay at in Torremolinos. The location is superb, I prefer a pool facing room so we can watch the ocean and the planes taking off and landing, this side there is no sun, but worth it for the spectacular views. Plenty of loungers and space around the pools, only 1 outdoor pool was open during this visit, but in busier times the other pools can be used, and if you cross the walkway, the Don Marco has a quiet adult only pool. So to conclude I highly recommend this hotel, and the all inclusive option, and I can wait to return for my next stay, well done to the whole Sol Torremolinos team and keep up the great work, fabulous resort.

Best hotel ever stayed in food excellent drinks menu fantastic right location clean and always cleaning outside staff amazing entertainment was amazing to already book for November 2026 planning to go summer 2027 already don't change a thing 😜

Was the first time here in june 25 for me and my husband. It was just reopening after the refurbishment yes there were still some works being finished but did not hinder our stay at all our room overlooked the bowling green and we saw how hard the workers worked getting it all finished . I have to really praise the reception staff on answering all of my querys on the works before we came very helpful and patience with my questions . The hotel is in a perfect location drinks are great snack bar food great evening meal we found good but we did eat out a few times. The staff worked really hard and all staff lovely friendly and welcoming. I have holidays booked this year but I will be back next year and am bringing my daughter too as I cannot wait to show her how good the hotel is and everything around it.

Our stay on 31st Dec to 1st Jan 26 is deeply disappointing. The hotel is severely outdated and dirty, completely misaligned with the luxury reputation of the Melia Group. The room was incredibly cramped, barely fitting two adults comfortably, let alone the three people it was meant for. The bathroom had a fundamental design flaw: the toilet was positioned so close to the door that the door couldn't even close properly. We were also assigned a smoking room without requesting it, and there was no luggage service. The photos online are a total misrepresentation. If this truly is a Melia group of hotel, it is a big shame and has destroyed our trust in the brand. We will never book a Mulia property again.

Love this hotel fantastic staff and always clean ,loving the revamped outside will be returning in May but don't mind the Marco or the Pedro
