Sol Torremolinos - Don Pedro

Excellent stay at the don pedro, 5 days all inclusive and we found the food/ drinks were very good There was never a rush for loungers around the pools and the setting was very clean and tranquil. Hotel staff were very efficient and friendly. A lovely relaxing break.

After doing my weeks of research, I finally booked this complex. It was clean, contemporary architecture and in a good location. We stayed in a Sol Xtra Family room bookable via melia rewards for agents, with a side sea view. King size bed and ensuite and another adjoining room with pull out sofa bed and another bathroom and wardrobes/ lobby area. For 3 nights the room was budget friendly and well appointed. With a small fridge and kettle etc. Breakfast was very good quality and choice for the pickiest of eaters. Outdoor Pools were chilly as it was November but didn’t stop our children. There was also an indoor pool on the complex, which was fairly large. Lots of sundress and places to relax, either bars or outside in the sunshine. Regular evening entertainment and kids club activities, however we didn’t join in with these. Coupled it with a trip to Malaga which was just beautiful too. Any questions or to find out more visit my instagram of @houseofninjatravel.

The hotel room was lovely and the surrounding area outside. The breakfast was very small and basic, not very good to be fair as we had breakfast out a few times. It's at the far side of Torremolinos with some good bars but it is over an hours walk to Benalmadena. In a taxi it would cost around €15 depending on the time of day you go. More for families and the more mature person.

My family and I stayed here while travelling Spain and I enjoyed every minute of it. Great location close to the beach and several pools and restaurants. They have an amazing spa on site too that my mom and I indulged in and it was 10/10 an amazing experience and surprisingly affordable. Staff was helpful and kind, breakfast was great with lots of options and the room was clean with comfortable bedding. The only thing I would mention is the room did have a little water damage on the roof but we called maintenance and they fixed it right away. One other thing is the shower did get a lot of water on the floor because the door needed to be fixed for sure but again very tiny things that don’t really matter when your in such a beautiful place. Would 10/10 recommend this hotel.

Unpolite, distespectfull staff. Small, dirty rooms, dated furniture. There are no clear directions to the entrance…it is only Sol written on the roof of one of the buildings, where they told us we are in the wrong hotel. We were looking for the entrance for 40min. Navigation leads to the parking where they don’t want to let you in so you always go back looking for it. I had to go around whole block by walk to finally find the entrance. Before all that we were traveling 2hs from the airport because of some triatlon since nobody informed us that the street infront of hotel will be closed. So we got stuck for 1,5 hour on the spot which should be 7mins to the hotel, by the car. On the reception they blamed Booking for not informing us about this blocade, saying it is not their job to inform us since we booked through the Booking. Reception staff was extremly rude and not willing to help. I travel a lot but never experienced this rudeness. So, when we finally entered the room, and got to the toilet after few hours of unplanned trip, we found dirty toilet. Never saw this in my life. So, went back to reception to change the room, but instead to say sorry, receptionis lady sent me to end of the row to wait all over again, after like few families who came to check in actually after me. This really pissed me off. It was like 20:30h already, my husbands suitcase was lost, we had to go to buy him stuffs while all shops were closing, we were hungry, thirsty, exausted…and recepcionist did not care at all. So I had to call a manager who was more helpfull and finally gave us a room at very last minute. Of coarse we did not have a time to use our dinner that night…we hardly made it to the mall before they closed it to buy basic stuffs. About the room…it is extremly small, the fridge is totally empty, no water at all, no slippers, no bathing coats, not any single kit… it should be a two star hotel instead. My glass was not washed at all for the whole 5 days while we were there. Also, hotel was so crowded we couldnt often find table to eat…most of the guests are over 60 years old, which is actually nice because most of them are quiet and pleasant people. But some of the guests were 90+ with the condition where they should actually be somewhere with professional care… like one gentleman who was probably wearing diapers (I hope!) I could guess by very unforgettable smell he gave me during the breakfast which I couldn’t eat after that. And once again in the elevator, the same guy, other day. I had no intention using pools or any shared facilities after this. So for us they did not exist. We didn’t get bathing coats anyway.

This hotel is in a fantastic location right on the promenade with great views of the sea and plenty of dining options all around the hotel. We have stayed here before and if anything I would say that the standards have improved. From checking in with the lovely front of house staff to everyone in catering, cleaning and maintenance, you are always met with a smile. A big shout out to Ana and all the team on reception who seem to be able to deal with every need in a kind and patient manner in this busy hotel. The cleanliness is of a very high standard and breakfast is top quality with a vast array of choice on offer every day. Well done to all and keep up the great work.
